Marketing materials for 1735 Westheimer Rd show surrounding businesses including the forthcoming wine bar and tapas restaurant chain Barcelona at 1731 Westheimer.

The map indicates it's opening Fall 2022. It's possible the opening will be much later like early 2023 or early spring 2023.

So there will be both a Barcelona and a BCN in Montrose soon. Interesting.

Barcelona / Barcelona Wine Bar is opening its Houston location at 1731 Westheimer Rd. It's also a tapas restaurant.

The restaurant and its sister concept Bartaco have been eyeing the Houston market for a few years. According to previous marketing materials for Montrose Collective, both restaurants showed interest in the development. 

The parking lot is currently home to a food truck park that may be named Montrose Food Park. I don't know if the food truck will continue to operate in the parking lot. I'm assuming the food trailers will probably relocate or find new locations to set up shop so there's room for customers' vehicles.

I wonder if they are associated with the Barcelona in Vintage Park?

Barcelona / Barcelona Wine Bar may have a late spring or summertime opening in mind.

Over the weekend, new hiring posts seeking a sous chef and manager. The job listing doesn't mention an opening timeline.

Barcelona is coming to 1731 Westheimer Rd. It will occupy the Hollyfield Cleaners Building in Montrose.

According to the Google Maps listing for Barcelona / Barcelona Wine Bar, July 7 is the estimated opening. I don't know if it's accurate or not. 

Barcelona is a wine bar and tapas chain. There are several US locations. The Houston restaurant will be located at 1731 Westheimer Rd.

Below is more on the preservation of the Hollyfield Cleaners Building at 1731 Westheimer Rd. The following is from the media alert posted to Davis Commercial's website a few weeks ago:

 

“I’m so excited that we were able to preserve these cool buildings and find tenants that appreciate and embrace both the history and architecture of the structures,” said Davis.

“Being a relatively new city, Houston does not have that many older buildings, and so to be able to retain some of Houston’s history while bringing some neat tenants to the neighborhood is a real win-win.”

...The Hollyfield Laundry building at 1731 Westheimer, now home to Barcelona Wine Bar, originally opened February 9th, 1930 as a commercial laundry facility.  In an article in the then Houston Post Dispatch, J.H. Hollyfield was quoted as saying “ For its cash and carry patrons, a feature in which the new laundry will specialize, is that the customers’ room is large, light, and supplied with an unusual number of receiving and delivery bins that make for the quick and satisfactory handling of all personal laundry bundles brought in by customers.”

Interestingly, Mr. Hollyfield  told the mayor at the time, Oscar Holcombe, that he needed to be able to park his delivery trucks in the street in front of the building in order to proceed forward and buy the property.  So to this day, that is why you can park on the south side of Westheimer.
