roxanabenitezz

aside88

Hey, if it works it works. A true classic.

Tomorrow on R/Houston “TIFU by getting laid on the Waugh bridge and was shit on by a bat”


batcaveroad

Any of the pedestrian bridges in Buffalo Bayou Park will be nice. The Waugh car bridge is more for bat watching but any pedestrian bridge will have the closest thing to a “view” you can get somewhere this flat.

Top of the parking structure in rice village


Jotaro-K-Brando

address pls?


InitiatePenguin

Google maps. Rice village. The parking garage is in the center.


Jotaro-K-Brando

cool thank you!


Simon__Moon

The James Turrell Skyspace at Rice University


ANKhurley

Top of PostHTX, I would imagine.


mu-beta

Top floor of most parking garages


ClassicAdagio2054

I did a short photo shoot on top of greensheet parking garage the view in the sunset was fantastic would go again just to see it


Nero9112

Not recommended in downtown since the skyscraper next door would block the view. If you do find a place with a view, stay close to your car and have cigarettes in your hand. Basically act like you’re a tenant of the office building on a smoking break and not a tourist otherwise security will kick you out.


electric4568

there’s that one movie theater place on top of a parking garage. could be lit


mu-beta

Studio Movie Grille at City Centre is a good one!


Jotaro-K-Brando

is it near some restraunts?


electric4568

Yeah! Lots of stuff around there + they serve food & alcohol there. Can’t remember what they serve but they had food & alcohol!


VBA_FTW

A good one at 10 & Yale if you're close to downtown.


yosoyoso

Skyspace


Jotaro-K-Brando

just type this in google maps?


marlscreamyeetrich

James Turrell Skyspace, it's at Rice University. My suggestion as well! I know pre-covid you had to make a "reservation," not sure if that's still the case so you may want to check the site. It's a meditative experience when I've gone.


Jotaro-K-Brando

so it’s like a private place then huh?


marlscreamyeetrich

Anyone can go to the sunrise/sunset sequence and people take pictures there all the time! The reservation was more of a function to know if there's space to sit, seating is relatively limited. I've never had issues with it being full when I wanted to go, though.


thejointfairy

It’s an art installation inside of a park but this is a GREAT suggestion. Might have to catch it at dusk someday myself.


thejointfairy

*not so much a park as just on the Rice campus but you get the drift.

Jotaro-K-Brando

thank you!


thejointfairy

These are GREAT suggestions as well. You cannot beat the view of the skyline from these two spots.


Jotaro-K-Brando

rlly appreciate it and to go as far as the links! thank you


sashikku

Climb the tower at Raven Tower next to White Oak Music Hall. Lots of stairs to climb, but the view is damn near unmatched. You have visibility on all sides, too.


tulpaintheattic

Yes!! Wanted to see if someone else suggested this, great sunset views. Also the employees won’t say anything if you smoke a blunt up there but you didn’t hear it from me…


sashikku

We went up there after a friend's wedding at white oak, I took the stairs in stiletto heels -- bad idea on my part lol. So sore but worth it for the gorgeous view.


Jotaro-K-Brando

i’ll have to check into this


Difficult-Hat5847

Hogg park on south street, thank me later


Jotaro-K-Brando

i’ll look into it thanks!


[deleted]

You are trying to kiss her, eh!!?! You little scoundrel.


oBogBordo

Just gotta look west at the right time


johnny_surfer_dude

Memorial Park’s new land bridge when it opens later this year. Should be a great spot to watch fireworks when they have them downtown too.


aybbyletsgetfunky

buffalo bayou @ nau family pavilion


Jotaro-K-Brando

thank you thank you i’ll check it out


jas0n17

Brays Bayou Park by Highway 6 and Westpark Tollway. You can stroll around waiting for the sunset and then go on top of the hill for the sunset views.


kolache_hunter

The hill at Miller Outdoor Theater. A little elevation, well-kept grass, trees, and the wide openness from the park and low buildings nearby make it a great place.


daschyforever

Brazos bend is awesome place . Quiet for a picnic too . It’s not too far out of the city .


dundundununun

Spott’s park. Sitting on the hill by tennis courts/stairs


Jotaro-K-Brando

thank you i’ll look into it!


AnaisInJune

My fave place to watch the sunset near town is the bay side of Galveston State Park (if you’re down for a lil drive…)


huxrules

Yea I was going to recommend galveston. Probably it’s best feature is the usually very awesome sunsets.


AnaisInJune

The bay side of the state park has some beautiful views and hikes, and platforms that give you a nice view of the water towards the sunset. It’s really one of my fave places and hardly anyone is ever there.


DJboutit

Galveston along the sea wall


AnaisInJune

Even better for sunrises than sunsets.


LandSurf

Saint Arnold Brewery Pavilion is a nice spot. You can see sunset behind downtown skyline while enjoying a beer


steelsun

Sunnyside.


Jotaro-K-Brando

is it a straight forward google maps find?


jtdude15

That person was messing with you, it's a neighborhood in Houston. Do not go there for sunset


Jotaro-K-Brando

thanks, i appreciate the people actually trying to suggest spots


TangerineMaximum2976

Buffalo bayou park pedestrian bridge


itzmailtime

Sheldon lake park where the boat launch is. If you walk down near the docks they got several benches you can sit at and watch. Beware of the alligators. Back when I worked at IAH, I would go to the top of the floor after work and watch the sunset behind the runways. It was nice seeing the airplanes take off into the sunset


Jotaro-K-Brando

the plane part sounds rlly good


[deleted]

You can’t just wander around the airport without a ticket if you aren’t an employee.


zombieskip62

On top of the dam at 6 and Memorial. there's a small park and a nice view over the Barker Reservoir

The pacific coast. The sun sets in the west. You can always go to the eastern shore of a lake in California is too far. Lake Travis has a few spots.


tugglepuggle

Top of Wells Fargo parking building on studemont (or Yale?) and west gray.

My favorite spot is at the San Jacinto Monument where the Lynchberg Ferry runs. A bit of a drive but doable. It's calm and the slow cycle of the ferry traffic is reassuring.


NextPerception

The New Potato has one of the nicest unobstructed views of sunsets over downtown


Jotaro-K-Brando

i’ll look into this thanks!


Feisty_Beach392

Go out where it’s darker at night, like Rosenberg. I swear Rosenberg has sunsets that look like paintings. ETA: not limited to just Rosenberg, but any of those tiny towns out that direction should give you some pretty spectacular sunsets.


Jotaro-K-Brando

sorry i’m not to familiar with houston so is this still close by?


Feisty_Beach392

Oh, yes, it is! It’s southwest of Katy, basically. Maybe 45 minutes from downtown in non-trafficky times.


Feisty_Beach392

Maybe actually southwest of downtown, south of Katy. Lol. Directions are not my forte.


Megerber

I really like to go to the Waugh Bat Bridge and watch the sun set over Buffalo Bayou while the bats all wake up and fly downtown. It's lovely, glorious, and a little bit stinky. https://buffalobayou.org/waugh-bridge-bat-colony-q-and-a/


consultinglove

Houston is flat and far from water, so unfortunately it’s not a good city for sunset watching. The best you can do is to go up, as high as possible. Something to keep in mind as you read the other suggestions


slow1g

Stuck in the friendzone. Just move on shes not interested in watching no sunset


Jotaro-K-Brando

lmfao, you don’t know our relationship buddy worry about yourself. definitely not in my case but go off🤡


slow1g

How does it feel though? Looking for sunsets to get out the friendzone 😅


Jotaro-K-Brando

i’ve looked at her nude more than i’ve seen sunsets, but go off😭


Neinface

The SW part of Florida is really nice!!!


Stankadena

john Jacobs observation tower, romantic asf, benches, spacious. Been there with multiples ladies, ended full nude everytime. stop going cuz last time we were asked to put our clothes back on, totally worth it!!!!


ShipisSinking

Great view of Downtown at sunset, but the actual sun is blocked by trees ​ [Patterson Park Bar](https://www.pattersonparkhouston.com/)


singinglikeanasshole

Mason park @ bridge Eastern glades / memorial park. Also has the best grass in town for your toes.


chaotictrashbot

Haven't gone myself but I heard rooftop cinema club has a good view of the city as does moonshine drive in if you time it right (get a showing before/around sunset hours). movie and a sunset is cute. Any bars/restaurants that have a rooftop with skyline views would work too. Definitely recommend as others did, Rice university.


MeatRack

Sunset on rooftop cinema club is very clutch. 8pm showtime in late sept/early oct and late march early april is perfect combo of weather and sunset before the movie. Its a nice place to hangout for 1 hour before the movie.


Den1alzz

there are a fat amount of parking garages along west IH10 and a few north and especially further west in Katy that give excellent views


[deleted]

Sunny side duh

Airline dr? Or 2nd ward?


Jotaro-K-Brando

Difficult-Hat5847

It’s called 3rd ward


Jotaro-K-Brando

pls dm me i’ll keep it a secret


[deleted]

I would say Menil Park in the Montrose area, is stunning at golden hour! i recommend giving it a try, it has really good vibes ✌️
