Venue Information
POST Houston
401 Franklin St, Houston, TX 77201
West Atrium (X Atrium) + SkyLawn
(directions below)

Once the hub of the city’s U.S. mail system, the long-abandoned USPS headquarters in Houston has been transformed into a dynamic cultural center expanding the city’s vibrant downtown options for places to eat, work, and be entertained.
Beverage Service
We have 6 bar stations planned for the Halloween Ball. Nobody likes confusing lines, crowded bars, or line cutters, so to make your experience the best possible, we’ve moved the bars and bar lines into the Northwest Glass Rooms on both the 1st and 2nd levels where there is space for organized lines and easy in-out.
VIP Ticket holders have exclusive access to the VIP Bars on the 2nd floor, but can also purchase from any bar.

Roof Skylawn Access
The Skylawn will be open until 11pm. GA+ and VIP guests have access to the roof from the NorthWest stairwell. The Skylawn at POST offers a gorgeous view of the Houston Skyline – so check it out before 11pm!
If you’d like to upgrade your ticket to access the Skylawn, you can find instructions on how to do so here.
Security will be monitoring the roof closely. Any unsafe tomfoolery or rule-breaking will result in immediate removal from the premises, adhering to our zero-tolerance policy.

Rideshare Zone
We highly recommend utilizing Rideshare for a safe and fun evening. The following address will bring you right to the Rideshare Drop-off Zone.
