RedScare Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 They are pouring new sidewalks in front of Mkt Sq and Warren's as we speak. It will be done by Aug 26. Mkt Sq is a nice size, and the owner is really cool. Food and drinks, no age limit. Old building. I reccomend it highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedScare Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I believe they are open from lunch time until 10 o'clock or midnight during the week and midnight on weekends. If there is a crowd at closing time, they will stay open. Don't think they are open on Sunday, but I may be wrong on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 So is Market Square the venue of choice?Last time (GHPA tour) I wore a nametag with the cryptic message H.A.I.F. which seemed to work (and if you want to be recognized). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then at the end we would take a guess on who each of us was? And then the one who got the most correct guesses wins? And THEN.....

tomv Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 So how was the meeting? Is everybody waiting till Monday to file a report on "company time"? Or maybe nobody showed up. Perhaps it's better just to remain anonymous. What's nice about these online forums is that everybody is more or less equal and you can feel comfortable expressing your opinion. If you don't enjoy confrontation, then you don't even have to respond to something if you don't want to.That being said, if there is another meeting, maybe it should be somewhere that offers wifi access, preferably free.

ricco67 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Okay guys, i'm pondering an informal get together would be fun and would like to get a bit if info.The bad news for the subburbanites, it's that it's going to be inside the loop just to be fair to everyone coming from different parts of the city, unless I get a HEAVY response from a particular region.I'm thinking the following:Mings on Montrose888 On WinklerChachos on WesthiemerMaybe bar downtown like either the Last Carafe' or Slainte's downtown.But I'm open to other suggestions in which they will have enough room with our ability to spot each other fairly easily.If that fails, a random Walmart Parking lot and a beer cooler.We can hash it out once we get responses on here. Once we get an initial meeting, we might be able to select some place that will cater to us a bit more exclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachanon Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 i like la carafe, but i don't think it would be an enjoyable place to visit with a party of more than 4 or 6 people.some of the vietnamese restaurants in midtown are great for informal gatherings, especially in mid afternoon. also, for a smaller group, a lounge like zimm's or prive have comfortable areas to kick back and visit. also, scott gertner or "wyattearp" might like to facilitate a gathering for us, being that they have establishments many of us are interested in or concerned about.

native_Houstonian Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Ricco,Thanks for getting this started! We had a good turnout (about 15 if I remember) when we had our gathering in May at Berryhills in the Heights. I've been wanting to do another one, so thanks for taking the initiative!I think a Friday or Saturday evening would be best. And, if you're going to do a dinner, someplace where they will do separate checks or you can pay at a counter would be easiest. Anyway, if you set it up, I'll be there, and I know I can get a few others to tag along.If you need any help with anything, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Truth be told, I don't really know what else is needed except to show up and make a table ready and throw some RSVP's out there.Now if you want me to get a BAR ready..I know of a couple of places I can do that easily.

ssullivan Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I'm all for it as long as it's on the weekend. Weeknights are almost impossible for me since I'm almost never in Houston Monday-Thursday. I really wanted to make it to the last gathering back in the spring, but had a conflict. So hopefully this time it will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 It was fun last time and would love to do more of these.I think central locations are best, that way anyone in the outer parts of the area only has to get to the central houston area...I'm sure someone off of 290 would not want to drive all the way to Southeast Houston, etc. But driving to Downtown/Montrose/Heights is only a half-city trek at worst-case for anyone. I kinda' like the idea of trying out new places. But sometimes it is convenient to have a set place as our "HAIF-hangout" also. Not sure really which is better, as they both have merit. We should also try to avoid the rush-hour too: A 6:00pm time frame means some people are right in the middle of the 5:00pm Friday rush hour! Of course this is a non-issue on a Saturday. Either way, it will be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmainguy Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 WyattEarp may want to host one at his Montaqu...just a thought as he has done a great and generous job so far keeping us informed. http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/haif/i...?showtopic=4944 Might even give him a little moral boost. BTW, afterwards, the rooms are cheap so if there are hook-ups... JK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicman Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 i would say warren's, flying saucer, or agoraunless people want dinner - i can only think of small, cramped places!warren's would be good but those that are lightweight drinkers would be under the table. next door at market square bar and grill might be an option. They have food plus a nice patio in back in the event the weather is cool. you can go to the bar and order from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 How about Kelvin Arms.. Has a bar, Indoor/Outdoor Seating, and a full menu... and its pretty much centered in the city just north of the village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
