Nole23 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Didn't realize the Brewery Tap closed. When I went to their FB page it says they closed, but it will be taken over by new management and will be a different bar. So Hopefully It won't be vacant.

Wow, terrible beer on account of dirty lines, but they've been there since 1987. That's unfortunate. I hadn't been there in years, but distinctly remember hoisting a few pints there the very first day it was open, and for a while it became a semi-regular stop whenever I was in the vicinity. It was opened by the original owner of the Gingerman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Can confirm there's activity at #11. My good friends just opened a clothing store on the second floor called Makers at Main (https://www.facebook.com/makersatmain/). Interesting concept. Edit: Based on the map, Makers at Main might be just next door. Anyone have a link for the Meditation Center? Can't find that national chain.

kylejack Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Live Sports Bar is still a go, they're just moving at a snail's pace even though they took down their Facebook.

skwatra Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Went to My Pie at Skyhouse and the line was out the door and a block long. Was going to be an hour we guessed and with a pregnant wife at home waiting decided against it. At Burger Theory (in Holiday Inn, opened today) now. Yelp reviews are limited obviously but positive. $10 burgers so we'll see. The place has a bar with 12 beers on tap, mostly craft. Will report back on the Holiday Inn thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moore713 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Passed by burger theory this afternoon 1ish nice size crowd.. beats last week were it was dead. Think being a adjacent to the hotel will really help this place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerNut Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I went to My Pie around 2:30pm. Waited inline about 1 hour with friends so it wasn't too bad. Pizza is good. I would definitely consider this place if I lived in the area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think being a adjacent to the hotel will really help this place Friday (1/8) was the first day they were officially open. Soft opening was 1/7.Pretty good burger, a little expensive at $10 but good quality. Price isn't that bad actually taking in to account its a hotel restaurant/bar downtown. But it is a Holiday Inn...

Houstonian1945 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Down the ways from El tiempo was h2o oxygen bar. First experience with one of those was in Vegas. El Tiempo transitioned to El Jefe Bar and later closed around the same time as a two story seafood restaurant on the corner that I can no longer remember the name of. Dont forget grasshoppers, vault, m bar, and now the Roxy is closed as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose1100 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 This all happened a long time ago.Closer to the previous superbowl... The "it" bars opened up on Washington after Main Street dried up. This time around it looks like most of the bars are catering to a more mature audience and not really night clubs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adr Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Talked to a guy who has a lease on 911 Franklin Street, in between La Calle Tacos and the Houston Watch Co. It is being built out as a bar. It appears to be the same guy as Brewery Tap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
