Debuted in Las Vegas in 2025, the UNO Social Club began as something of an over-the-top pop-up. Heavily promoted through the likes of TikTok, the original event was a massive success – spurring a 2026 global tour. The 14-city tour will see exclusive UNO Social Club pop-ups in five U.S. cities, as well as nine international destinations including the likes of London, Tokyo, Barcelona, and Sydney.
Lucky for us, that tour includes a Houston one-off event this August.
Instead of traditional toy stores or convention centers, the tour takes over popular adult nightlife spaces—like dive bars, breweries, and even a roller rink in Brooklyn – feauring the nostalgic childhood game with cocktails and an evening party atmosphere.
The UNO Social Club is entirely owned, created, and operated by Mattel. The social club events are strictly 21+.
“At the heart of UNO is a simple truth: play brings people together,” said Katie Buford, Vice President and Global Head of Mattel Games in a press release. “After an incredible first year, we’re excited to launch UNO Social Clubs in even more cities around the world. The enthusiasm from fans has been incredible, and their passion continues to inspire us. We look forward to welcoming even more players to the table.”
The UNO Social Club will take place in Houston at Dan Electro’s on Thursday, August 6:
“UNO will turn Dan Electro’s into the perfect spot for cards and a little friendly rivalry in the heart of Texas”, the press release states. Dan Electro’s is located at 1031 E 24th St. The UNO Social Club will feature classic gameplay, local DJs and MCs, and the chance to win exclusive prizes. It run from 6 pm to 9 pm.
Admission to the event is completely free with RSVP – though available on a first-come, first-served basis. See the reservation link here.
