Roswell's Saloon is a space-themed bar in Houston, Texas with glow-in-the-dark décor, zodiac cocktails, and a decidedly retro vibe.

This black-lit, space-themed cocktail lounge is totally out of this world, boasting a funky vibe that will transport you to a galaxy far, far away.

Neon colors and retro artwork and décor impart an air of nostalgia, while glow-in-the-dark planets and an astronaut hanging from the ceiling make you think you're visiting Roswell circa-1970.

(No spacesuit required - although if you really want to get into character, go for it!)

...or grab a seat in one of the booths and allow yourself to reminisce on the bygone era of the All-American diner.

Being here feels like you're in a movie scene, and I'm definitely not mad about it.

Now that we've covered the ambiance, you're probably wondering what the drink menu looks like.

It's just as space-themed as the décor - for example, similar to latte art, there's a line of cocktails topped with crop circle formations. You'll also see lithium crystal shots that glow bright orange (in honor of the sun), plus a monthly zodiac cocktail.

Just wait until you see the upstairs lounge area.
