Due to a flight cancellation I’m stuck with a 9 hour layover at Houston Hobby on Thursday. I’m not going to sit in the airport that long. My original thought was I would find an outdoor restaurant/bar patio but now the weather is going to be in the 40’s.

So open to suggestions on any restaurant/bar where we can hang out for 5 or 6 hours or any other suggestions for something to do.

There's some seedy titters on Telephone Rd that would be happy to take your money 

Head a few blocks up Broadway, get a bench, and people watch?

Since OP has plenty of money I'd suggest hiring an uber black and going to Kemah.

Uber to J Bar M BBQ. Excellent BBQ and they have a full bar and plenty of TVs.

I find myself at Hobby airport once a week and the best thing I do in that neighborhood is get the fuck away from it as quickly as possible.

Yeah space center could be a real possibility. Haven’t been since the 80’s.

Had a service rep mistakenly book a room by hobby. First week, they stole the wheels off his rental twice. LuLz 

Park it at Twin Peaks in Webster.

that area is full of restaurants and bars. Hit me up, I’ll meet you for lunch if I’m free. I live about 5 mins away 

Uber up to EADO for lunch somewhere. Lots of good options. There are some fun breweries and bars in the area too. Maybe check out Pitch 25 (big giant bar full of tvs and all sorts of games to play).

If your into the arts, it’s only 11 miles to the museum district. Zoo is right there as well.

true anomaly brewery is a great spot 

rodeo goat across the street has great burgers 

truck yard is next door 

pitch 25 has solid food 

pizza place across from rodeo goat is good 

indianola is damn good, next door to pizza place

The viet place down there is excellent 

8th wonder is a must 

that bakery place by truck yard os with the stop 

All within 5 min walk of each other 

jm bbq is about a 5 mins drive from this area

If you are a golfer and don’t mind hauling your clubs around, go play golf at Gus Wortham in Eado.  My app says high of 59 on Thursday.  Unless it’s too windy that’s about my favorite temperature for golf.  

NASA is "close". Much nicer part of town to wait it out in. You can do a lot worse than eating lunch/dinner and touring Space Center Houston.

Not sure how old you are, but if you want a trip back to the 80's...

Uber to Kemah Boardwalk or Space Center Houston is probably the best call.  40 minute ride, hang out for several hours, 40 minute ride back per Google Maps (depending on traffic).  Better than staying in the airport, and as noted before the immediate vicinity around Hobby sucks (Telephone Road holla).  Figure an hour travel on each end.  

Go to nasa and do the tour of the shuttle mock-up on the 747 and the new and old mission control

Well it was way too cold so we ended up never leaving the airport. Thanks for all the suggestions. We found this on the walkway from gates 1-5 and sort of hung out there.

I had no idea something as valuable as a zero gravity chair would last near Hobby airport without being bolted to the floor.

We ate Pappadeaux. And drank. @tx 3 putt

Haha. We got cut off at that Pappadeaux’s. They were “concerned we’d miss our flight”. We’re flying to Midland. Not the moon. We’ll be fine either way.

Hit it yesterday on Westheimer. Slammed hard. Both the palette and the wallet.

Spent the day at Space Center Houston. I’d been before maybe 20 years ago. Still super nerdy cool. The retired Mission Control (1950 - 1995) has been restored to its 1970 Apollo state. The whole room looks like the staff just went to lunch. There is a 10 minute simulation of the first moon landing. Absolutely bad ass. 

zoom in for cigarettes 

I had a great time and my kid had a great time.
