Luminare Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 If I remember there was another thread about this. None the less this is a nice little development. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Very exciting! Slowly, but surely this side of Midtown is getting nicer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 It looks like they've started excavating for the pool... not sure why they want to do that first? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Good news everyone! Per an update at While walking home from the Midtown Redevelopment Authority meeting tonight, I noticed the gate open at this site and let myself in. My previous post about the pool was invalid, but they did excavate the center of the parking lot and partially refilled the hole. There is various machinery inside the structure as well as lumber and drywall. It seems as though this is definitely underway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 There's a note taped to the wall facing Hadley warning cars not to park there because concrete is being poured in the morning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 I was super pumped about this project, but from the exterior it looks like they're renovating this as cheaply as possible. Sheets of concrete board are going over the existing latticed facade on the McIlhenny side. Hopefully they are going to open it up with windows on the Main St side, as shown in the renderings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 They've started excavating for the pool. General Contractor said they are working on having this open by 4 July. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillip_white Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 It seems they've changed the name of the lounge portion to Cle, which is now open. There are some photos of the remodeled inside on their Facebook page.https://www.facebook.com/clehouston The outside section is still not complete, with the pool having never been poured. Not sure why the delay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astros148 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Know the owner, they are making 200k a month off this place. People are spending 20k on a table! Pool will be open in a month 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Strange...driving by it on Main it still looked closed...must be the wrong direction to look From what I hear, it's only open Friday and Saturday night. I walked by last night on the way to the rail stop and there were about 100-150 people outside waiting to get in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astros148 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Yes its only open Friday and Saturday night. The place looks insane from the inside. Pool expected to open within a month 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool expected to open within a month Have you heard anything about what's going in on the Hadley side? The initial rendering showed a restaurant going in, but it doesn't seem like much work has been done lately. There's also a pallet of bricks outside on the corner, so I wasn't sure if they're considering throwing a brick veneer on... Not that there's nearly enough to do much of anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 On the Hadley side, the restaurant is Tarakaan. Apparently this was announced in April, but I'm just now hearing about it. They have some interior shots on their Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/tarakaanhouston/photos_streamThey're also hiring for all positions if anyone knows someone that wants a service job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6,000-square-foot space has been transformed into a visually arresting restaurant and cocktail lounge inspired by some of the world's hottest dining and nightclub venues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtsig Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 i'll be dining at hakkasan in london this week so i'll have a pretty solid frame of reference on how tarakaan stacks up... not that i'd expect it to stack up favorably to a michelin-starred restaurant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillip_white Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 16 hours ago, bobruss said: What happened to Tarakaan? It didn't last long. Tarakaan was a joke. Food was decent, but pricey and it seemed like they were only focused on alcohol sales. The one time I went there, we were sat in the bar for 30 minutes to wait for a table even though half the seating was available. After getting a table I watched as they did this to every person that came in, presumably so they would order a couple drinks while they waited.

bobruss Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Its amazing the amount of money bar and restaurant investors and developers are willing to waste on poorly planned and executed projects. I often wonder if some of these aren't just laundering money cause they don't seem to have much of a clue about running hospitality establishments.

IntheKnowHouston Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) The post below is about this property: On 7/17/2022 at 2:01 PM, phillip_white said: Rose Gold Lounge at 2301 Main appears to be in the middle of a remodel. Any word on what this might become? Replacing Rose Gold at 2301 Main St, Suite 200 is a nightclub or supperclub (corner of Main and Hadley). When I searched Google Maps, I found a listing for a place named Ratio. It's described as a place for dining, cocktails, and hookah. Ratio sounds like it could be a place offering "vibe dining," similar to the concept of a supperclub. Think places like Bisou, Kiss, and Thirteen. However, their social media and website gives the impression of a nightclub. There is a video of remodeling progress on their Instagram. Rose Gold's website suggests Ratio is a new nightlife concept from the same owners as Rose Gold. I think the owners are Capstone Houston Group. Other nightlife concepts from Capstone include Space, Wyld Chld, and Bar Rosa. The group also took over Parma last year, the bar & grill/nightclub where Barry's Pizza was located (Houston-based hospitality company Eighty Six'd originally owned and operated the business). https://ratiohouston.com https://instagram.com/ratiohtx Edited July 21, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
