Not a United guy, but the Hyatt is up by Greenspoint. There isn't all that much up that way and the neighborhood isn't too great. I haven't explored it recently, though. XJT stays near there for our unscheduled layovers. There's supposedly a good cajun place right next door, but I can't remember the name.
As far as the dive bar near the Doubletree, that's Hoot County. I can tell you right now, you're lucky that you're going there. I'll never be back. I was just down there for training with XJT and it's a total ripoff. I went after a sim with my partner. We each had 4 or so cocktails (over a several hour period). $73 was the bill for each of us! I don't know if she over charged or double charged or what, but I can tell you, I'll never give them my business again.
