CrockpotandGravel Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) There was a thread for this property started by me in either 2016 or 2017. Since the error of a mod banning my account and deleting over five years worth of content from me, everything I contributed to this forum is gone. I was able to retrieve and save some things, but most of it is gone, including the thread for this property (sans one post made September 2019, a few weeks before all of my posts were "accidentally" deleted). I'll try to repost as much of the previous content I can remember (mostly Loopnet listings, archives and articles), but comments from other members and their photos won't be reposted.

CrockpotandGravel Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 2401 Fannin has been Limelight club and Rich's club over the years. During those times, the building and the property it stands upon has been on the market ( for sale) off and on since the mid to late 2000's (maybe before that, I don't know for sure). The previous thread included an old Loopnet listing (either from 2016 or 2017) for 2401 San Jacinto included photos inside the building. I wasn't able to find on Google cache (and I didn't save it) and and couldn't find the archive link for the old listing. The only for sale listing I could find was from earlier this year, which was updated in August before the listing was removed in early October. From a March 2019 Loopnet listing of Rich's Nightclub at 2401 San Jacinto, Houston.https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2401-San-Jacinto-St-Houston-TX/15485531/ (archive) Brochure: https://images1.loopnet.com/d2/MWRk5NG77Ty31hWVus00xDf1tXpGQ926VcFe3fqVD0c/document.pdf (archive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrockpotandGravel Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 This was in the previous thread for Rich's | 2401 San Jacinto . It's being reposted / reupped since the original thread and other content from me were removed. Originally posted by crockpotandgravel, September 12, 2019 in the thread for Rich's | 2401 San Jacinto . As posted in the Montrose thread, Rich's is closing at 2401 San Jacinto. It's relocating to Montrose. Previous post about it.https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/45330-richs-moving-to-montrose/?do=findComment&comment=600344 On 9/5/2019 at 4:47 PM, j_cuevas713 said: Houston nightlife is getting another big shakeup. Rich's nightclub owner Jeff Harmon announced earlier this week that "after many months of negotiations and very careful consideration of my family, my staff and our business that we are returning to Montrose." There are few specifics, but Harmon says he plans to "rejuvenate and restore a very familiar venue." The announcement was made in a Facebook post. Requests for additional information went unanswered. As expected, social media went into overdrive trying to determine where Rich's would land. The two most popular guesses? South Beach at 810 Pacific or Numbers at 300 Westheimer. A spokesperson for each club denied those claims. Neither option makes much sense. South Beach has been under renovation for more than a year and plans to reopen soon under the same name. Numbers is still going strong and celebrates its 41st anniversary Oct. 5. The former location of F Bar, 202 Tuam, makes more sense. That club closed in 2017 and has been currently operating as Mynt. That venue's social media accounts have not been updated in a long time. Also, the Facebook post never specifically states that the new venue will open as Rich's, just that "many of your favorite bartenders, support staff, DJ's and entertainers will return to a once wildly popular address." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/entertainment/restaurants-bars/article/Rich-s-nightclub-is-relocating-to-Montrose-And-14413447.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Replacing nightclub Space at 2401 San Jacinto St is Privacy. It's a bar and lounge from the group behind Ratio, located at 2301 Main St, Suite 200. I think it will be more of a hookah bar and nightclub. Food is served at Ratio, but I don't know if Privacy will include a dining aspect. https://www.instagram.com/privacyloungehtx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Privacy" is a name used by instagram.com/InfluencersHTX to promote Saturday nights at Space: Instagram.com/privacysaturdays. I know that Ratio was created by either part or all of the Influencers group and seems to be doing well. Space has always been crammed to capacity with $40 cover charge and a line around the block, so I'd be interested to see how they would replicate that cash flow with a lounge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Privacy is used as a theme night for some night clubs and bars, including Space. However, one of the owners behind Ratio recently filed an entity for Privacy. They also applied for an alcohol permit under the same name. While an entity filing, a trade name listed on an alcohol permit, and an Instagram account aren't always conclusive proof (often businesses list one name, but change to another upon opening), in this case, it's more than likely an indication Privacy is preparing to take over the 2401 San Jacinto space. I find it interesting the group behind Ratio is also taking over or rebranding Space. Prior to Ratio opening at 2301 Main St, Rose Gold operated there. Mario Azodinia acquired Rose Gold from Eighty Six'd Group. He also operates Space. Azodinia also owns others bars and clubs around town. Parma - which was previously an Eighty Six'd concept - and Seaside Lounge are among them. He is also linked to the bribery scheme involving Mayor Turner's former aide William-Paul Thomas.

Just noticed that the club at 2402 Austin St. has vacated. Any chance that Privacy intends to take that space instead? Much more likely location for a lounge.
