Yes talking about the little building. Don't know if this link will work or not. http://g.co/maps/mh4uc Yes the location just South has been many things. The Drinkery - sister of the one on Washington has been very successful since it opened maybe 8 mo ago? I think Blackfinn has taken some of their business but they are still busy and love going out in the area on the weekends. The Block has an impressive amount of bars/clubs on it. The Drinkery - Multi Level open 7 days a week BRB - Gay Cowboy Dance Hall - been around forever ? Wonderbar - Club/Lounge - weekends only Red Door - Club - weekends only El Xuco Xicana - Mexican Restaurant/ Bar on top Was wondering about the little abandoned building. Would be a great dive bar, good addition to the drinking block.

We live right in Midtown and have been wondering about this corner of the lot that has BRB, Drinkery ( Formerly Open City, Formerly Cheerz) for a while. Figured you guys could tell me what used to be here and maybe what's in store? The owners constantly replace the glass with wooden boards to keep the homeless out. Extremely busy area on the weekends, surprised they don't knock this building down and charge for parking like many kitty corner lots in the area. Thanks,

Me and my wife walked downtown about a month ago. Had lunch @ Cabo - food wasn't bad - booth was sticky - still no complaints for a place that was actually open at 11am DT. We had a couple uninvited guests at our booth around the time the food came out. Multiple cockroaches on the wall and crawling on the booth. Got our food to go and walked back to Midtown. No love lost on the closing.

Hello HAIF - I've been following this board since I moved to Houston in March from Dallas. So naturally I have lots of interesting perspectives to add. From Chicago - lived in Charlotte (Downtown/Uptown) - Dallas (Uptown) now Houston (Midtown). Very excited for The Scout Square/Blackfinn developement - Blackfinn was one of my favorite bars in Charlotte located in the Epicenter. http://epicentrenc.com Check out what Charlotte has in the Epicenter- Pavillions downtown or Citicenter would be the only thing close - check out the Epicenter though it has everything - Wish Houston / economy would support something similar. The main difference in Epicenter vs Pavillions is - it has full retail/restaurants/has that cool factor - movie theater Aloft Hotel. For now Scout Square is definitely a step in the right direction for Midtown. We love Midtown in general although certain aspects can be very frustrating i.e. eating at Farrago's and being harassed 3-5 times while eating outside by the same / different homeless people. Not to go off topic - but I for one as a frequent patron of Farrago's and all the bars and restaurants in the area was extremely excited to see the barriers up and now might be able to enjoy a meal without being hit up for money while trying to eat my meal. The staff can't do anything because the Police won't do anything. Glad to be on the forum finally. Lorenzo
