Sorry if that wasn't clear - I was referring to the bolded Whitmire quote. 2 hours ago, ToolMan said: Hamburger Mary's was a bar that hosted drag shows I'm actually wondering now if he was actually referring to The Burger Joint? It'd make more sense. Still not sure what "close to adult entertainment" means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolMan Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 (edited) Oh yeah, didn't think about the Burger Joint. I took "close to adult entertainment" as the gayborhood as we call it. Looking forward to Mi Luna Edited May 18 by ToolMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymahjong Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 (edited) I wonder if our Mayor understands how much positive PR COH got for Montrose “most walkable” usually those types of Walkability stuff are’t through adult entertainment venues—are they? sigh- I was going to post that I’ve finally notice some progress upstairs at what I thought was going to be our new library.

It's a pretty good bet that whenever a politician starts preaching about a pressing need to "protect the children", more often than not it's a figleaf to provide nominal cover for doing something shitty. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 On 2/5/2024 at 3:19 PM, IntheKnowHouston said: Le Ciel Hospitality has leased Idle Hands' former unit at Montrose Collective. The hospitality group is the mind behind Ciel, the supperclub at 4411 San Felipe St, Suite 101. A bar or nightclub is planned for the 910 Westheimer unit. Although there are no permits indicating a name, the bar's moniker is Sophie. There is an Instagram for Sophie. While, the bio doesn't list an address or any other location, I'm certain it's the bar's social media account. It's billed as a rooftop and lounge in its Instagram bio. https://www.instagram.com/sophierooftop/ Sophie is included in CultureMap's round-up of noteworthy restaurant and bar summer openings. As previously mentioned, Sophie is Le Ciel Hospitality's latest concept. It's opening in Montrose Collective at 910 Westheimer Rd. The bar takes over Idle Hand's former unit. According to Sophie's social, the downstairs portion will be a cocktail den. Upstairs will be a terrace bar. More from CultureMap: ...This new cocktail lounge and rooftop bar takes its inspiration from the South of France. Details are light, but the upstairs and downstairs aim to offer different experience. https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/summer-restaurant-opening-preview-list/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
