kylejack Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 crowd sucksYeah. I'm ever-hopeful, though. Seems like the d-bag crowd swarms otherwise cool bars for a few years after they open before moving on to the next conquest, leaving a chill bar to hang out. Examples: Dean's, NOTSUOH, 1820, Lola's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieEric Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 crowd sucksI've been there once...it was nice early on, but I agree the "later" crowd there was annoying. Then again, that crowd seems to be the one that floats around, so I'm sure they'll be moving on to Manor or Reign soon. Maybe it's better during the week?

margokorin Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Did anyone see that someone fell out of a third story window above Deans on saturday night? The owner of the building lives above and has been known to throw some crazy parties. Oddly, the news station refered to the neighborhood as "montrose" wtf?

diggity Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 There's already a myspace for "Manor on Washington", though with little detail: LinkMy "shiny shirt" days must be over, because I have no desire to go to any of these places.ughhhh. that myspace site is terrible.who are these people that sign on as friends for these awful clubs.

diggity Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'm guessing these people MUST know the owner or something, right?I would assume so as well.The club owner/club rat scene is very incestuous so most of them know each other. I have acquaintances who take great pride in knowing the various club owners for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 It's all the same dynamic as the band scene, except on band guest lists you have assorted musician freaks, music snobs and girls in combat boots, instead of douches and girls who look like strippers. People want to be an insider, or at least get in free. My BF and I still have band friends and guest list privileges, which is cool, so I understand the mindset behind wanting to be a Doucheington Ave VIP.

At the time, the downstairs was closed...we went straight upstairs via a door on the right to what I can only describe as some sort of strange storage area (parade props? lol), and I remember going up on the roof on the scariest metal spiral staircase ever. In the middle of the roof was a busted kiddie pool. It was most definitely not an actual business when I was there... The chess comment in the other thread is pretty funny b/c I remember a bearded man (LONG beard) in a flowing robe playing chess in a random bathtub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean's has a new location at 315 Fairview, near Taft. This is the Montrose area. How weird that Dean's has preserved the funky ambiance of their downtown location, and done such a nasty remuddling on the new location. I knew that Deans had moved but the location they showed on the news was the location on Main..... ??? Local media are notoriously sloppy. Downtown, Midtown, Montrose, Museum District, and Southwest Houston are apparently indistinguishable to Our Information Sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Did anyone see that someone fell out of a third story window above Deans on saturday night?found out it was a downtown regular about 6am. evidently his liver was lacerated, broken arm and leg with bad face injuries.

sheeats Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 found out it was a downtown regular about 6am. evidently his liver was lacerated, broken arm and leg with bad face injuries. The Press had a short story on the incident today. The owner is really shaken up about what happened and is discussing retirement as a result: http://blogs.houstonpress.com/hairballs/20...eath_pirtle.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 This insane story of that jerk falling out the window gave me a great idea. Perhaps as a club theme idea when the party is really cranking, the employees should toss out dummies out of the windows! Bet it would make headlines ie; Youtube, ET, Extra, etc. and the news did call that specific Main street club "Montrose" ...cracked me up...

77007golfer Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Anyone have information about the purple warehouse on Washington at Reinnerman? I have seen people there working on it everyday. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcc179 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I was driving by Reinerman and Washington yesterday after work around 630pm and saw workers putting up 2 x 4's on the facade of the building at this corner. I then was walking by there around 930pm later that night and people were still there working on it. This is supposed to be a Bronx Bar right? Are they trying to get this open quickly?Right next door 2 more bars (Ei8ht and I forgot the other one) are supposed to open, correct? I guess this block will kind of be like the West Washington version of the 3 bar triangle at Wash/Heights (Social, Porch Swing, and Kobain), except more pretentious. Hopefully, the bar that I forgot the name of will be more relaxed. I'd really like a laid back pub in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it's good to hear that it's laid back. Only thing is, it's not really walking distance from me as much as the places going up at Reinerman and Washington. I'd like a casual bar where I can walk to, but I'll definately check out the Usual sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margokorin Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 ive been to the dubliner, which is across the street from pearl bar in the space that used to be chaise lounge, a few times now. they have a nice little porch and appear to be douche-bag free.

longhornguy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The Lot, next door to Pearl was a pretty nice and laid back place as well. Less douchery than Pearl for sure. I wish there was a place on Washington that had a decent happy hour and cheaper drink prices. I'm getting killed with these $80 bar tabs every night!

I'm getting killed with these $80 bar tabs every night!I haven't been myself, but my friend was telling me about a good happy hour special at Candelari's every Mon-Fri from 3-7. It's something like $2 domestics, $3 house wine, some other specials I forgot, and if you order drinks you can get a 2 topping 12" pizza for $5. BTW, how are the Dubliner and the Usual drink prices?

swtsig Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The bars that really cause problems for neighbors are the ones that are permanent fixtures, such as Rudyard's in the middle of Hyde Park. Those are the bars that should have been blocked by zoning...you sound like a riot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
