RedScare Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hopefully, they won't be repurposing THAT part of the Conoco.That's why I liked Beer Island better. Knifing a guy is more old school than taking a guy out with a gun. Lazy man's murder weapon. This is the historic Heights after all. We don't do things just because it's easy.

SilverJK Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I suppose bludgeoning with a club would be okay right? Also across from this there wasn't there a lady who pulled a gun on people for parking infront of her house or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also across from this there wasn't there a lady who pulled a gun on people for parking infront of her house or something?I know this happened on 10 1/2. It was an African American couple parked on the street. The wife was walking up to Davis Hardware to get her check and her husband was parked under a tree. A woman came out of her house, pointed a shot gun at him, and yelled a bunch of racist epithets and threats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not point a firearm at someone who is legally on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not point a firearm at someone who is legally on the street.I remember that. I believe that initially she was charged with aggravated assault. She lived somewhat behind Berryhill and was supposedly tired of people parking in front of her house.That just shows how wimpy the Heights gets the further north you go. On 10 1/2 Street, they point guns and yell epithets. On 6th Street, they shoot you or knife you or break out every window in your bar (gang fight at 6th Street Bar & Grill). By the time you get to 14th or 15th, they just put rocks on the grass and complain about it on internet forums. On 18th, they invite you to park on the lawn and bring you lemonade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angostura Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Ate here on Saturday. They're taking the sourcing very seriously, and have an onsite dry aging program. They appear to be doing (at least some of) their own butchering onsite as well. Beer program is impressive; wines BTG a little less so. The menu is very... masculine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere is wonderful, and my wife and I had been looking forward to trying the restaurant during this "soft opening" process. However, bland/overcooked food, poor drinks, and slow service are hard to overlook. On Nextdoor, experiences have ranged from similar complaints to ours to food poisoning for an entire family. Hopefully things will change, but that is going to have to include some significant changes in staff and in the kitchen. https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/6065-the-heights-restaurant-and-bar-scene-more-coming/?do=findComment&comment=467806 On 7/14/2014 at 3:24 PM, JCR said: On 7/14/2014 at 10:00 AM, s3mh said: Meanwhile, the El Cantina Superior is getting slaughtered on Yelp and other forums.

IntheKnowHouston Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 A post pertaining to 602 Studewood from an unrelated topic. The post is about Delicious Concepts closing Ritual to open Mapojeong, a Korean barbecue restaurant. On 4/1/2021 at 2:29 PM, hindesky said: Goodbye Ritual, Hello Korean Barbecue DELICIOUS CONCEPTS ON TUESDAY ANNOUNCED that Ritual will end its run at 602 Studewood after Sunday service. But the space won’t be dormant for long—the company will unveil a new concept, Mapojeong Galbijib, in its place around the end of May. Mapojeong Galbijib is a Korean barbecue concept with table-side grilling service. It aims to feature only Prime proteins with an in-house dry aging program, along with house-made kimchi and banchan. “We wanted to create a guest experience that blends the best of my travels to Seoul and my time growing up in L.A.’s Koreatown with a modern attitude and approach,” said Bridge in a press release. Since 2016, Ritual has deftly produced Southern comfort fare inside very trendy environs. https://www.houstonarchitecture.com/haif/topic/45508-2626-white-oak-dr/?do=findComment&comment=634320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 According to posters located in an adjoining space next to Mapojeong, a new dessert concept is coming soon. The dessert concept is possibly named Bbo Bbo Taiyaki. Going off the posters, it appears the shop will specialize in taiyaki filled with soft serve. The Bbo Bbo Taiyaki posters at 602 Studewood have been up for months. Does anyone have any insight regarding this? Below is a photo of the Bbo Bbo Taiyaki posters at 602 Studewood. The photo was shared in an Instagram story earlier this week by BuiltNearby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
