4002 N Main St
Chron.com published an article on Space Cadet's closure. Fairly certain, the reporter only covered it because it was posted to Houston Heights Foodies' Facebook group. Regardless, Chron.com notes a closure notice on the bar's website. The reporter speculates the property could be cursed. Past tenants, mostly in recent years, were mentioned. More from the article: Space Cadet, which debuted in January 2024, unceremoniously shut its doors sometime in April... In an email obtained by Chron, Space Cadet owner Collins Orr told an unnamed party the restaurant was not doing enough sales. Friday, the restaurant’s website displays a single word: 'Closed.'" https://www.chron.com/food/article/houston-heights-restaurant-closes-address-19425327.php -

Heart Club At 5002 Washington Ave.
Tonight is Heart's last day of business. The night club announced its closure on Instagram this week. Located at 5002 Washington Ave, Heart is one of several nightlife concepts from Houston's Clé Group. It's also the hospitality group's latest venture to close. In addition to Heart's closure, Cle Group has closed the following businesses in recent months: Bisou - 4444 Westheimer Rd, Suite A-120 Post Oak Lodge - 4747 San Felipe St I think Cle Group may have sold or leased (or may be partnering with other operators) their Midtown and Downtown venues too. I'm not fully certain. Cle Group advertises their original venue Clé at 2301 Main St, Suite 400. However, alcohol permits and state permits filed in recent months show a club name The Encore at the address. It doesn't appear The Encore is affiliated with Cle Group. I As for Spire, the downtown night club at 1720 Main St closed late last year, I think, for renovations. Their Instagram lists the club as closed, but for months stated it was closed for renovations. Permits show a new operator for a club named Dome. Below are photos from inside Heart. The photos are from the night club's Instagram.
