Meteor, also known as Meteor Houston, Meteor Nightclub, or Meteor Urban Video Lounge,
Charles Armstrong acquired Meteor in 2004.[6]
Meteor was connected to other bars owned by the same group via a shuttle:
South Beach Houston. Initially the shuttle was free, but during competition with F Bar the shuttle was given a $3 charge which would be compensated by the sister bars; this was to encourage people taking the shuttle to go to the JR's family of bars instead of to F Bar, as some patrons of the shuttle had done. F Bar later began compensating the $3 charges.[7]
Meteor closed in 2016.[8]
