Pickley Nickely Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 So does anyone know how parking for East Village works? The valet nazis are kind of frustrating and current construction limits street parking... I've been told that if you tell them you are going to one of the restaurants you can park for free... Pretty sure I did this once before? I recently visited on a non-event Sunday afternoon and they said parking was still $10?! I don't remember seeing any posted prices and the signs at the driveways just say something like "Private Lot - Parking for East Village customers only". As I understand, this area is considered Central Business District so paying to park isn't a surprise. $10 on a Sunday afternoon is kind of steep, or am I just being cheap? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedistrict84 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Just came across this article regarding Conservatory and Prohibition moving to the former Chapman and Kirby spot as part of the East Village development in EaDo, on St. Emanuel.

asubrt Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I'm sure the new space will be great, but this is kind of disappointing for me... Conservatory is my favorite place in Houston and it's a great place to start a night downtown. EaDo is less convenient/exciting imo, though I guess there's a lot of cool stuff around there as well so maybe it's not the end of the world. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastdwntwn Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 As you can probably gather from my name, I am pretty excited about this. Chapman just didn't seem like the right fit for the area. This will be a great addition to the neighborhood. The downtown spaces will recover, but if Chapman had left without a replacement, it would have taken more time to find a suitable replacement. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapman and Kirby didn't have the right vibe for the area (Miss Carousel does it much, much better), and I'm very excited to have Conservatory taking over the space. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the opening of the foodhalls, I was wondering about conservatory's viability, and talking to the pho guys they said it had slowed a little bit. This gives them a chance to breathe and serve a community in need of late night eats. But I do hope the space is being preserved for other cool stuff.

cspwal Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 If you come from the train or the west side of mainstreet, it is a nice walk with active pedestrian life an night If you come from anywhere east of Conservatory, it is more like @Tumbleweed_Tx said - the only people on the sidewalk are the ones who will be there in the morning. Doesn't help that right now, there's nothing in the building on the NE corner of Fannin & Prairie, and that big surface lot seems like a black hole of darkness at night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think the problem is a particularly large homeless population - the problem is that the homeless are the only people consistently in those areas and there's just not enough other people and activities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be situated either next to Chapman & Kirby or part of Chapman & Kirby at 2118 Lamar St, Suite 100-B. The East Village development is also home to Koffeteria, EightyTwo, Seaside Poke, Miss Carousel, Vinny's, Indianola, and the Secret Group.

There isn't an official confirmation from Dunlap ATX, the hospitality group behind the bar, but Dunlap sort of confirms it in a comment underneath Citybook Houston's Instagram post. Lustre Pearl will be located at 2106 Dallas St, Ste 100, which is possibly part of the East Village development.

However, 1201 St Emanuel is the address provided on construction documents uploaded in early February and was also confirmed by Lustre Pearl's representative via social media when I inquired about their forthcoming Houston location. It does seem odd there are two different addresses listed. I probably should have noted the address listed on the TDLR site in addition to their construction documents the first time around. Hopefully, Dunlap ATX will provide more details whenever the group decides to send press releases about their Houston expansion. My apologies for the confusion.

It's a nightlife concept from the group behind Austin's Coconut Club, Neon Grotto, and Cuatro Gato. Paradise Palace was announced on the club's Instagram in February. Neither the address and area of town were provided. Coconut Club's design is fun and festive, at least what's shown in photos. It kind of reminds me of a mix of Present Company, Electric Feel Good, and the shuttered Montrose lounge Her.
