ljchou 374 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Anyone know what's going on here? Corner of Milby & Garrow. Saw them rebuilding the exterior walls and now they have siding board up. Construction workers there every AM when I drive by. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ljchou 374 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 (edited) Found a company "White Rhino Cantina" registered with active sales permits for the co-located address (319 Milby St.). They have a Facebook and an Instagram, but neither have been updated in a few years. Curious if the same company is still planning on this location. Looks to be a Mexican restaurant with a beer garden. The land owned is the current building and the lot next door with the Winnebago in it.

I believe there was an old TABC notice in the window of that building (before the renovations started) from maybe 2017 that alluded to White Rhino. Whatever that was intended to be, I imagine it was canceled and this construction is for something different. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linearmovement 106 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Mexican food is great and all, but this area could really use more diversity of cuisine. That spot would make a great beer garden, though. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Montrose1100 3619 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Is that lot going to be a giant patio or parking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ljchou 374 Posted September 21 Author Share Posted September 21 Looks like there's an outdoor bar attached to the window and some plants/gravel going in outside.They're calling themselves a "beer garden" on their facebook page so I could see this becoming mostly patio. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Â that's totally cool.
