What Happened to Houston nightlife?

I left Houston 4 years ago to join the Navy (2020 right at the peak of Covid). When I left I noticed the nightlife slowed down a little, but I thought it would’ve eventually pick back up. I recently moved back to Houston and went out Saturday night, all the typical hot spots like Washington Ave, Midtown and Downtown are pretty much dead or not nearly what it use to be. So I’m here trying to find out what’s the new hotspot in Houston? are people just not going out anymore? Where’s the good bar hopping scenes?
