What can you say? Where else can you see a structure lovingly created of deconstructed, flattened, mangled, and otherwise useless byproducts of the American pastime? Once one gets over the silliness of it all, the beer can tab streamers tinkling in the breeze induce a strange sense of melancholy and curiosity. Why would anyone expend such effort to achieve a...

I love this place. It just speaks Texas and Houston in particular. It is eclectic and beautiful. You have to see it to grasp it. The inside has been restored and is now open as a museum. Recommend.

It was near where we were having brunch so we stopped by. Passed a good fifteen minutes and took a few good photographs. Didn't do the tour as there was no one around.

You have to see this! I have brought several sets of out of town friends. Friends, that are well traveled, have seen many things. All of them have loved this place. Great story behind it too!!

Arrived well in the middle of opening time on Saturday only to find a chained gate and nobody around. The sign asking for a $10 donation was just an insult based on that. Still, clearly this house was a labor of love for someone, and even just walking around the front of it it's very impressive. So, five stars for... More

Where would the world be without eccentric people who do crazy things with their cars/houses/clothes etc.? It'd be pretty boring. I love the beer can house and try to visit at least once a year.

One person created something delightful from trash! It is someplace out-of-towners should see and never fails to bring smiles. It's an original.

Odd and strange things do attract me, but I find myself reviewing a house that is covered in beer cans… Ok- all of you out of town tourist can stop laughing that this attraction is ranked highly on Tripadvisor. It might be about the weird, it might be about beer or it might be most people just can’t believe that... More

The Beer Can House is worth a visit if only to see how one person could devote their whole lives to a seemingly trivial pursuit. But it's not really trivial when you see it in person. It's pretty cool.
