Above is the site for metro rail. You cannot get it from the Galleria. You may take a bus to downtown and then take the rail to relaint, the zoo etc.

The closest bar (to the Galleria) that I can think of is Roxy%26#39;s. I am not much into the bar scene - so other can give you better input.

The rail line does not go to Toyota Center, it is about 5-6 blocks from the rail line.

You might be better off staying downtown where you can ride the rail to reliant, walking distance to toyota, rail to the zoo and just catch a cab to the Galleria. Lots of bars in Midtown (near downtown) and a few new ones opening up in Downtown - including House of Blues and across from it Cork Wine Bar, The Flying Saucer Pub. Also a lot of new bars on Washington Avenue but you%26#39;d need a cab to go there - but it is near downtown as well so would be a short cab ride. If you want to stay downtown check into the Residence Inn or Courtyard by Marriot - both are right on the rail line.

Hey all. Is there a way to get the locations or addresses of the Metrorail areas? I%26#39;m trying to find places to eat but I want to make sure they are within walking distance of the nearest rail. The schedule %26amp; map really doesn%26#39;t seem to help, unless I%26#39;m reading it wrong (which is quite possible, lol).

Soda, here is a link that might help you out

Public transit in Houston stinks. Rent a car. Parking is widely available and usually free or cheap.

For light rail in Houston, especially around the Galleria, is expected to be up and running I think around 2014. Otherwise, it would take the ride on the Westheimer bus to downtown where you can catch MetroRail.
