I don't think Bungalow is closing its location at 407 Main St. But based off the address, I'm not sure where Bungalow Lounge is going exactly. My initial thought was maybe Bungalow Lounge is replacing Subway at 405 Main St (either suite 100 or suite 101). I really don't know yet.

407 Main

I was browsing the newspaper The Houston Post dated in 1918 and came across a film listing for The Key Theatre. I am unsure of an address. I searched Cinematreasures and couldn't find any details about this place. Must have been rebranded at some point?

More about Bungalow from a recent job listing. Bungalow is a restaurant opening soon at 407 Main St on the ground level of the Scanlan Building. "Bungalow, our newest restaurant concept brings elevated dining and unmatchable vibes to the downtown area. From prime steak selections to chef driven dishes, Bungalow is the epitome of Southern cuisine meets classic dining."

Proposal for a flag mount sign submitted to the Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission (HAHC). Another proposed alteration submitted by Bungalow to HAHC for its forthcoming restaurant at 407 Main: Replace the existing front doors (not original to the building) on the owner's lease space.

Bungalow has a website and social media. This is a restaurant - with possibly a bar or lounge component - located in the Scanlan Building at 407 Main St. http://www.alifehospitality.com https://www.instagram.com/bungalowdining View of Bungalow's sidewalk patio; Google Maps May 2022 From Bungalow's Google Maps listing

Taking over the space previously home to Live Sports Bat at 407 Main St is a bar or dining concept named Bungalow. This is another concept from local hospitality group Alife Hospitality. The group are responsible for bar & grill spots Prospect Park, Lost & Found, and Kamp. There's also Cake, a bakery that doubles as a night club (similar to Sugar Room on Washington Ave). Post about it earlier this year in the topic Downtown Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming:

Select posts about 407 Main. This is a ground floor retail space located next to the parking lot. While there have been many businesses operating there over the years, Live Sports Bar was the most recent one. Live sports bar is no Christian's Tailgate, not even close. Lives food sucked, the ambiance sucked and the service was terrible.

Live sports bar at 407 main looks to be closed permanently. Anyone know how long it’s been closed?

maorlando God kept us 2012 leaning on Him 2013 has added a photo to the pool: DOWNTOWN HOUSTON, TEXAS— This company was founded in Houston, Texas, in 1900 as Foley Brothers. It was originally acquired by Federated Department Stores, Inc. in 1947. Another piece of Houston history has been turned to rubble as the old Foley’s turned Macy’s building was imploded recently to make way for new development. And with it goes, a time many Houstonians fondly remember. When the old Foley’s building on Main Street opened in 1947, it was an instant hit. Opened in October of 1947, the new Foley's was built as a six-story building. The old Foley's was located at 407 Main Street was reopened as Joske's first store in Houston one year later. In 1957 the Foley's downtown store was expanded by four floors, making the total 9. “Oh my gosh, Christmas, the windows in the front on Main street … thousands would come just to see the windows,” said Kathy Knott, a former Foley’s employee. That was before malls and before Houston sprouted suburbs.“When the downtown store was founded, it was the first moving escalator in the city of Houston, and so everybody rushed downtown to get on the escalator,” she said..Knott said she found a career and a husband at Foley’s. She started as a member of Foley’s College Board while at U.T., selling clothes to other college students. It was the same job KHOU Sports Anchor Bob Allen (son of a dear precious friend of ours that has passed away but lives in our memory always) had in the summer 1969. “I got to work at the downtown store, advising kids on what people are wearing to go back to college— and it was a blast,” he said. It was the start of a love affair between a store and its city—an affair that soured when customers fell in love with malls. Most older Houston residents nostalgically recall weekend shopping expeditions when they headed to the downtown Foley's Department Store in pursuit of a special outfit or party dress. When younger made with our parents and when we were older we went on our own riding the bus to town. An adventure that was never dull and always wonderful!!! Christmastime was always the time for a trip town to visit with Santa that everyone looked forward to, and a time to check out all the fun Christmas window dressings, doing some window shopping which I dearly loved to do and usually became a day-long affair. Today the glory days are nothing but a memory, and the building on its last leg. The demolition was scheduled for 7:20 on a Sunday morning, September 22, 2013. Fannin and Milam were closed between McKinney and Polk, creating a blast zone of nine blocks. More: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foley%27s and departmentstoremuseum.blogspot.com/2010/05/foley-brothers...
