Nightlife in Orange

First things first: the Orange sub looks pretty dead and I found nothing searching there.

I know it's a big ask, but are there any decent pubs or rock bars within half an hour? I travel for industrial construction and the last time I was anywhere near here was maybe a dozen years ago. Some place with aged scotch if the mood takes me that also won't balk at my worn out boots like Wayside in Lake Jackson or Cock and Bull in Dallas, or some place that keeps rock on the PA higher than a whisper.

I accidentally got a day off with no reason to get back to the house in Dallas, and I'm not looking forward to staring at the walls if I can help it.
