kylejack Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Yeah, it's a pretty fun place, and they have some decent craft beer. Love Racer 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I have gone three times already, saw A Separation there. Nice upgrade from the Angelika. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinDaugherty Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The third Saturday of every month (except June), Houston Roller Derby's monthly bout is at Bayou Place. Come see us! This month, April 21. Doors open at six, action starts at seven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrage Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 It's about time someone brought back the good ole' hi-volume, low-cost meat market. There's a whole new generation of 20 something office types who may now get to experience the joy of $3 wells and hundreds of potential uh, love matches all under the same convenient roof. ahhh....I can hear the extended club mix of Blue Monday like it was yesterday.That version of Blue Monday you always hear in the club IS the original version.. all 7 mins and 42 seconds of it. There is no extended club mix. There are but they're horrible. No one plays it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Otto Mation) Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 elnina999 has added a photo to the pool: Bayou Place is an entertainment complex that houses multiple theaters, bars, and restaurants located in Downtown Houston, Texas. The complex was the former Albert Thomas convention center located in the Houston Theater District at 500 Texas Street (originally built in the late 1960s).

ttuchris Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I drove past Bayou Place last night, it looks like The Blue Fish might be closed permanently. Not sure about the status of Napoli. Assuming AMC survives and Revention rebounds, maybe there is hope for this place. I think a dream scenario would be to tear it all down and connect Jones Plaza, Tranquility Park, and Buffalo Bayou with park space. Expensive wishful thinking.

mattyt36 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Outstanding! Looks like a concept for a new performing arts venue and three residential or hotel towers. I wonder what the low rise is in the east-most residential facing the new venue? Maybe some sort of mixed use pavilion? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbg.50 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Those look like outdated plans…. If any performing arts venue needs a remodel it is the Wortham Cullen Theater. It’s a shame the hall has such good acoustics but the seating in the balconies is terrible (I,e., bad sight lines, super steep angles, compressed leg room, ugly guard rails). The Founders Boxes are worth the money just to avoid the aggravation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate4l1f3 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 These are at least a few years old. I remember seeing them on here somewhere, most likely in this thread. I remember liking the renderings initially but looking with fresh eyes it’s not as impressive as I first thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samagon Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 the place is rife for something to happen. I went to the Skinny Puppy show a few weeks ago, which was only moved here from HOB because I think they needed a bigger venue. but yeah, just a sad state. just this music venue and Sundance (whatever they call it now) movie theater. I struggled to find somewhere to pregame before the show, so I was stuck with movie theater booze (which pours just as well as any bar, I guess, just not the atmosphere I was going for). anyway, I'd guess the movie theater is struggling to find reasons to stay considering how not busy they were on a Friday night, and no restaurants to speak of. I will eventually miss that movie theater though, super easy to get tickets for anything, and in prime seats even on opening night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookey23 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I've been thinking about this a lot recently because I've been riding my bike on the Bagby Promenade to work. Redeveloping Bayou Place would do so much for this side of downtown. As it stands, the building is essentially closed off on 3 sides for a total of 5 blocks and the equivalent of 2 blocks along the Bayou path, creates a sketchy overpass on one block, creates a very sketchy and ugly 2 block stretch on the bayou path, and has an outdated and uninviting setback at the main entrance. They could completely transform the Theater District by tearing down that eye-sore, building some new and exciting architecture with ground floor retail, glass, lobbies, atriums, etc. on all sides, and incorporating the bayou into the plans, instead of completely turning their back on it. The building also completely visually cuts off the Hobby Center, tranquility park, and little tranquility park from the rest of the Theater District. If you're standing out front of the Hobby Center, you don't think "the rest of the Theater District is that direction" because all you can see is a bunch of loading docks. Those Ziegler Cooper plans look infinitely nicer, even if they're not perfect. Maybe something will be announced after Lynn Wyatt Square opens and gets a lot of foot traffic, but I'm not going to hold my breath 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
