BEES?! Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I feel like this will get plenty of foot traffic in part thanks to POST. When I was there, you could see it (the garage) all lit up from the skylawn. How is buildout going? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The possible Sof Hospitality concept has my attention. After several changes with management and consultants, plus years long delays, I hope the wait for Lyric Market is worth it. I also wonder if there were design or layout changes since the previous renderings and site plan?

Culturemap answered my questions about the design and layout changes: "It's worth nothing that plans for Lyric Market have been scaled down significantly since it was first announced in 2018. Back then, the plans called for between 20 and 30 vendors in 31,000-square-feet. Since then, a number of new food halls have opened, including Bravery Chef Hall, Finn Hall, and Post Market.

" https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/09-14-22-lyric-market-downtown-food-hall-vendor-list/ I really like this food hall. I like that it’s not an open concept like the other ones in town instead it’s built more like a maze (horrible use of the word but I can’t come up with a better one). This is in no way a direct comparison but it reminds me of the Chelsea Market in NYC in that there’s a beginning and an end point. With that said it’s extremely small 😔. Does anyone know if they have plans to expand at a later date or is this pretty much it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
