Okay, the area around Reliant isn't the nicest or the safest. Wild West is a great suggestion, not too far, and maybe we could catch dinner somewhere in between. Otherwise, I could give a few suggestions that are better areas not too far from Reliant.
1) There is always Rice Village, many restaurants, bars, and pubs.
2) If you want to go to Wild West, there is a pizza place close by, Barry's Pizza, that's good. We could stop there before heading to Wild West.
This is a start, let me know what you think.
I would agree about the area around Reliant Park.
Rice Village is fine except that, IMO, getting in and around there and the parking can be a real nightmare on Saturday evenings. Especially the parking.
I think that Barry's Pizza is a great idea if we decide on Wild West and would like to get dinner beforehand. It is located only about 1/4-mile down the street. As for Wild West, it does not get crowded on Saturday nights until after 9:00.
