In the 1960s, Imperial Sugar started to sell some of its vast land holdings to help transform its company town into the 24-square-mile, master-planned community it is today. With 63,000 residents and a median family income of $110,000 per year, it's one of the most affluent suburbs of Houston. A few sports bars, pubs and low-key drinking establishments give diners some after-eating options around town, though the nightlife is proportionate to the city's modest size. You can grab a beer at BJ's Restaurant and Brew House (2231 Highway 6 in Sugar Land Town Square) until midnight or later. Baker Street Pub (15970 City Walk) and hip sports bar Loggia are nearby.
