All faults aside, Treadsack did lead the restaurant boom in the Heights before imploding. Down House was one of the first to make the Heights a restaurant destination. Many peaks and valleys along the way, but I will miss it. From CultureMap, February 2021: pioneering Heights restaurant has served its last meal. Down House closed after service on Sunday, February 21, the restaurant announced on social media. In the post, proprietor Chris Cusack thanked the restaurant’s staff for their hard work throughout the restaurant’s 10-year run and encouraged customers to post their favorite memories. Hundreds have responded on both Instagram and Facebook. Cusack tells CultureMap the restaurant closed due to a decline in business brought about by the coronavirus pandemic. “The reality is it just didn’t work anymore in these circumstances,” he says. https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/02-25-21-down-house-heights-restaurant-closed-shuttered-chris-cusack/ Edited August 10, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntheKnowHouston Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Goode Co. is leasing the 1801 Yale property, previously home to Down House. From CultureMap: One of Houston's most prominent hospitality groups is coming to The Heights. Goode Company confirmed rumors that it will open a new restaurant in the former Down House space at 1801 Yale St. “Goode Co. is always looking for great spaces and new neighborhoods to become a part of, and we are excited to be opening one of our concepts in the Heights area,” Levi Goode, chef and president of Goode Company Restaurants, said in a statement. “While we don’t have details on the specific concept and opening date, we look forward to doing something Goode in this historic Houston neighborhood.” ...The company operates a number of concepts in the Houston area, including Goode Co.

IntheKnowHouston Posted August 28, 2021 Author Share Posted August 28, 2021 I think the restaurant Goode Co. is bringing to the Heights is Goode Co. Kitchen & Cantina. Goode Co. applied for a TABC permit under the entity GCKC Heights LLC in June. GCKC = Goode Co. Kitchen & Cantina. And this month, a filing for Goode Co. Kitchen & Cantina at 1801 Yale was submitted to the Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like those places, at some point, get boring to the founder, and they close and move on to another project. It's interesting that they seem to run the places for their own reasons, and regardless of success or the customers, they just move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_cuevas713 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 My job is right next to this place and before COVID I used to walk past it often. It's nice to see it get some love from a well known Houston based company. The building was starting to look rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Drove by this today, but didn't stop. The building has been painted a light yellow color. I'm not sure I like it. It doesn't look bad, I just preferred the Down House look. There's also a "Hiring" sign out front. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full landscaping is gorgeous and today I saw decor being loaded inside. Last big item(s) seem to be the deck/patio and the front door. I loved and no doubt will still miss Down House but the Goode folks are clearly doing this space right and sparing no expense. VERY excited to be a neighbor to this... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
