Amlaham Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I could have sworn this already had a thread but could not find it. This warehouse will be converted into a bar. Apparently it's already under way per houstonculturemap, slated to be completed by this fall. I attached link for all the details. https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/05-12-22-heights-social-1213-w-20th-st-drift-bar-open-champagne-service-brunch-cocktails/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Hmmm, "converted into" looks suspiciously like "replaced by". Not that I'm complaining. New building is a bit awkward but definitely an improvement. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper drainage and nice wide sidewalks would go a long way in improving the aesthetic. Edited January 26, 2023 by j_cuevas713 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasota Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 The sidewalk in front of Heights Social is fine. This is just an ugly, cheap looking building from the outside. But that's also exacerbated by its immediate neighbors. This is perfectly fine infill, but its best neighbor is that awful bar with its unspeakable name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 100% of instances where that is the case, I find the building ugly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
