trymahjong Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I saw on a neighborhood yahoo group that Late nite pie might be closing? Could that be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 They've already been locked out a couple weeks ago. This seems to happen every year, but this time it seems to be for good. The new owners were running the business very stupidly. The beer selection had dwindled to almost nothing and the pizza quality was plummeting. The surly service used to be something sort of adorable that you would put up with to have a good time, but lately it was just annoying and the icing on the cake.The week before they closed they wouldn't let my friend pay for dine-in with credit card. Credit cards were for delivery only, they said. So yeah, it looks like they were intending to not pay their rent and get as much cash in hand as possible before it went under.

HoustonMidtown Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 There is a sign on the building that says under new management -- is that old or is it open again ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 That sign's been there since roughly 2 months after they moved locations.

NenaE Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 And all I could think of is " that old building is burning, what a shame". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 how old was the building? I would go past it maybe once or twice a week, and the building itself never stood out as an old structure that was anything special. other than the front of the VW bus sticking out, it wasn't exactly unique.

trymahjong Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 the next morning early--maybe 6 am all the strrets were blocked off and you could tell the firman had gone all the way to avondale and helena to use that hydrant--I guess the building was only cinder block-- but I liked the cylinder looking part, the front door and the vw in the wall--whatever happened to the plans for the building across the street?

Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 This building?http://g.co/maps/f42pvHopefully they will do something keep Growing Midtown moving South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) The uneven roofline, with columns higher, is what makes me think it was old. And the corner entrance that looks like it was expanded. I saw it on the television as it was burning. From a historical perspective it could be noteworthy, if not architecturally. It's a matter of opinion.Was the interior really made of cinderblock? then I could be wrong. Stucco can cover up a lot, as well.

trymahjong Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) This building?http://g.co/maps/f42pvHopefully they will do something keep Growing Midtown moving South.I asked because I had posted this last January on the Fbar thread and haven't heard anything since=>The owner of Pub Fiction brought renderings of the building to a Midtown Planning meeting awhile back. If plans haven't changed since then... the building is going to be awesome w/ a nice entrance on the corner w/ columns. It will be multi story (I think 2 or 3) with a roof bar thing w/ parking in the backI don't get to go to as many meetings as I did last year. . . . . .

kylejack Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Looks like it used to be Mela's Tejano Country (lesbian Tejano bar) from 1980 to at least 2005 (it won Houston Press awards in 2002 and 2005). The owner was grand marshal of the Pride Parade in 2002. Edited February 11, 2012 by kylejack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skwatra Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 HCAD shows an 1164 sqft building originally built in 1929 and a second 1800 sqft building built in 1970. Not sure how it was integrated to the original building or what improvements they did. never been there sober... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I was just curious what happens to the lot. I knew about the arson. Thinking about it some more; could be a while before it gets sorted out sold/taken from him. Saw some squatters inside in the former beer garden while riding my bike over the weekend.

HTexas Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 So any news on what will become of the old Late Nite Pie? Such a prime location. It just sits there as an eye sore when it is the perfect spot for a restaurant, bakery, or a much needed coffeehouse down in this part of Midtown. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntheKnowHouston Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) 302 Tuam St and 310 Tuam St were listed for sale last year. 302 Tuam was the previous home to Late Nite Pie restaurant. 310 Tuam St is next to breakfast and brunch restaurant Harry's ( 318 Tuam St ). A Loopnet listing for the properties shows it was unlisted in early December: https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/216-220-302-310-Tuam-Street/24174938/ Â Edited December 22, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
