The Heights Restaurant And Bar Scene - More Coming

Big blow to the 'hood. Sounds like she will be opening more of a retail storefront nearby. . .

Sonoma in the Heights, the wine bar at 801 Studewood, will close on June 26 after 10 years of operation in the Heights neighborhood.

Owner Farrah Cauley, who built three Sonoma Wine Bar concepts in Houston and Katy, said she was unable to continue her lease at the Heights location. Sonoma’s other locations at 2720 Richmond and 9920 Gaston Road in Katy are unaffected by this decision and will remain open.

“This was not the outcome I had hoped for after several months of negotiations with the landlord, but I had to make this extremely tough and sad decision based on what my business can afford,” she said of Sonoma in the Heights.

Sonoma could not come to terms with its landlord and lost its lease on Studewood.  But the Height's loss is the GOOF's gain.  Sonoma is moving to the Stomping Grounds development (which is finally seeing some momentum in building out restaurant tenants).

Central City Coop took over the space that used to be Steel City Pops on E. 20th.  

Central City Coop bought the old Heights Lights and Things property on 25th and will re-open their brick and mortar store there soon.  They only had a short term lease on the storefront on E. 20th and got the boot in April.

So here is a question - the old Co-op and Birds Barber Shop building was being painted and had work going on today- what's happening there next?!

Leasing brochure, which should always be taken with several grains of salt, shows Kin by Evelyn.  She currently has stands at farmers markets and is no Top Chef Houston right now.

New grab and go concept from the chef who used to run Azzarelli's (more accurately the reincarnation of his grandfather's restaurant by the same name).  It is what is going in the new building at 4606 N. Main St., one door north of Tampico.  Sign went up recently and looks like they will be opening soon.  Not sure whether there will be dine in there will be.  Website only talks about grab and go.  Nice looking building, though.

Oooo a yoyo's brick and mortar store! Very exciting. 

They also started using a food truck at Rice University on the northern part of the campus for parts of the week and late night since they got kicked out of Rice Village.

Great to hear! Still the only hotdog I will eat. Usually in the wee hours of the morning somewhere in midtown, but they really are amazing dogs.
