IntheKnowHouston Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 On 6/2/2023 at 8:07 AM, IntheKnowHouston said: Idle Hands closed its Houston outpost at 910 Westheimer Rd a few months ago. The rooftop bar was located in Montrose Collective.

Le Ciel Hospitality is the team behind Ciel, the supper club dining concept at 4411 San Felipe St, Suite 101. I haven't reached out to the restaurant group for details. The website for Montrose Collective's has nothing about Idle Hand's replacement. Furthermore, I am unable to find a website or social media accounts for a possible concept. However, I did notice a recent entity filing that seems to back up the rumor. Le Ciel Hospitality filed an entity for 910 Westheimer LLC last month. So, maybe the group is working on something for 910 Westheimer. Hopefully, whatever is planned for Idle Hand's former space will be reported by year's end. 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/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week, the name for one of those accounts was changed to Sophiehoutx. I am assuming that one is the bar's official Instagram. Sophie is a rooftop bar and lounge for Le Ciel Hospitality. It's one of the latest additions to Montrose Collection. Sophie replaces Idle Hands at 910 Westheimer Rd. https://www.instagram.com/sophiehoutx Edited February 19 by IntheKnowHouston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She draws inspiration from the constant movement of our world. Her work, deeply influenced by comedy, ballet, & dance, will grace the walls of Sophie Cocktail Bar & Terrace, offering a captivating journey from life to abstraction. https://www.instagram.com/p/C4TYJpPMVbI Sophie is a new cocktail bar opening soon in Montrose Collective.

Texasota Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 That's standard-issue artist blurb and is really just about the art they're using not the (bar?) itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 1 hour ago, hindesky said: Is it $76 mil or $760 mil? The boast is off by an order of magnitude. $76 million ≠ $760,000,000, even in real estate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 “Construction is already underway for the new Freed-Montrose Neighborhood Library, which will be in the Montrose Collective mixed-use shopping center,” the statement read. The updated timeline lists the third quarter of this year — between July and September — as the completion date. https://houstonlanding.org/houston-library-to-permanently-close-montrose-branch-due-to-safety-concerns/ 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, Sophie is a new cocktail bar and lounge from La Ciel Hospitality. It's opening soon Montrose Collective. According to an Instagram post from the brand, the bar will span two levels. The upstairs terrace is meant to remind guests of sunset on the French Riviera, and the downstairs bar will be painted darkly with rich textiles. https://communityimpact.com/houston/heights-river-oaks-montrose/dining/2024/03/22/new-cocktail-bar-coming-soon-to-montrose/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToolMan Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I've heard from a good source on what will become of the vacant Picnic and The Chelsea restaurants that have recently closed. Mi Luna will replace Picnic. Yes, the old staple in Rice Village. The group that runs Doris Metropolitan will replace The Chelsea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
