    Social club devoted to activities relocates to Spring with drinks and BBQ

    An innovative Houston social club is moving to a new home. Oiler Studio will reopen this month at City Place, the Spring mixed-use development near the ExxonMobil campus.

    First opened last year, founders Maggie Judge and Yvette Dzumaga created Oiler Studio as an alternative to a traditional bar that could appeal to singles, travelers, and groups. At the heart of the experience are more than 50 different classes and activities that run the gamut from flower arranging and macrame to cake decorating, wine tasting, candle making, and more. Those who want to take their activities outdoors may purchase kits centered around activities such as paint-by-numbers, DIY kite making, bird watching, cookie decorating, and more.

    Classes are priced at $6, $15, or $25, depending on the time and materials required. Monthly memberships are available that include unlimited activities.

    Maggie Judge welcomes customers to Oiler Studio.

    In addition, Oiler Studio hosts events such as murder mysteries, comedy roasts, poker tournaments, and karaoke. Group activities start at $25 per person. It's also available for rentals.

    The concept has proven to be so successful that Judge and Dzumaga recently signed a one-year lease for an almost 1,900-square-foot space at 1700 City Plaza Drive. Located near City Place Plaza, the venue is open Tuesday-Sunday with food, drinks, and happenings. A grand opening celebration will be held June 1.

    New to this location is a food menu created by EaDo favorite J-Bar-M Barbecue. Included on Texas Monthly’s 2023 list of the state’s 25 best new barbecue joints, J-Bar-M will serve an abbreviated menu for lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch that runs with Oiler Studio’s operating hours.

    Pair them with a cocktail from the bar. Drinks are priced at $7-12 and include different takes on the French 75 and the ever popular Old Fashioned.

    “With its ecosystem of office workers, hotel and meeting/event guests, residents, plus visitors from the surrounding areas of Spring and The Woodlands, City Place has proven to be an ideal environment to unveil and build on the Oiler Studio concept,” Judge said in a statement. “Combining premier mixed-use elements and a beautiful natural backdrop, it’s a setting that works well to encourage connections through creative expression.”

    DJs will take the stage at Meow Wolf for an all-night festival.

    We don’t know what it is about Saturday, June 20, but it’ll be a day when local EDM fans will have the time of their lives.

    Meow Wolf Houston’s Radio Tave will host a full-building electronic music takeover. The interactive art/funhouse will debut Monstercat Danceportation, an immersive, late-night music festival bringing together internationally-recognized electronic artists with Houston’s rising local scene. Attendees can move through the exhibition and discover performances woven throughout the space, from high-energy DJ sets broadcasting from the exhibition station’s radio booth to bass-heavy moments echoing through hidden worlds and large-scale headline performances inside the venue's Theta Theater.

    Born from the successful Danceportation series at Meow Wolf Denver, which has sold out multiple editions since launching in 2022, Danceportation arrives in collaboration with the Vancouver-based Monstercat, one of electronic music’s most influential indie labels. The lineup includes Trivecta, SMOAKLAND, Nostalgix, SPORTMODE, DLOW, GRIN, BÜRDTE b2b COACH HART, DEGEN, and SWADED SOUNDS.

    “This is the first event of its kind we’ve ever created at Meow Wolf Houston,” said operations manager Miranda Allmon. “Danceportation transforms every corner of Radio Tave into an active music environment. Each space inside the exhibition takes on its own energy throughout the night.”

    On the same day, AHC Productions will present Space City Wubfest, billed as “Houston’s first-ever bass music festival,” over at Raven Tower. According to the website (where you can find a coloring contest where the winner receives two VIP tickets), the 12-hour event will be “a four-stage takeover featuring two main bass stages, a riddim stage inside the tower (with the promise to deliver "filth and high-energy madness), and a rooftop stage bringing house and techno vibes under the sky.”

    In fitting festival fashion, Wubfest will also include a vendor village, food trucks, face painters, massage tables, and tie-dye bars. Live flow performances will take place throughout the day, along with a flow arts workshop where attendees can learn, spin, and level up their skills.

    You can spend the day hanging at Wubfest, which starts at 11 am, and later head over to Meow Wolf, which will open its doors at 10 pm. Both events will be 21+ only. Wubfest tickets are here, and Danceportation tickets are over here.
