thedistrict84 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 4 hours ago, ljchou said: "Common Desk" signage is up. Looks like they are currently setting up inside the south side of the building. No word on Bishop Cidercade. The Austin location just opened, which means it should free up their development team to target Houston. It's still listed on their website as "Coming Soon" with no additional updates. I’m very concerned that this will ultimately be canceled. I don’t know that any type of arcade is a viable business in this post-COVID world. The amount of staff needed for sanitization efforts alone would be problematic. Have Dave & Busters or Main Event reopened? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that you mentioned that in your post. If they just reopened, I think that it’s a bit premature to say they are doing ok. We will have to wait to see what happens I guess.

JBTX Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I thought it was "Cider + Arcade" since they are a Cider Bar + Arcade and wanted to do something different than Barcade. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedistrict84 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I walked my dog past the Cidercade last night around 8, it seemed to be pretty busy for a Tuesday night. Great to have something like this drawing people to the area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonMidtown Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 The one thing I noticed, they have 3 sets of doors - but only 1 is an entrance. The doors in the pic above, below the "Open" sign are "Exit Only"....the big white arrow on the building points towards the real entrance...when you get around the building, the next door is also an "Exit Only" door....finally down the walkway is the entrance....and the entrance door doesn't have any steps up to the walkway near it.....no biggie once you have been there a few times but seems like strange planning to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljchou Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 There's a permit for a "Pizza Bar and Kitchen" at 2320 Canal Street, which shows up as the block. The permit has a buyer listed as "McIntyre Services", who also a permit in for changes at Equal Parts Brewing. Not sure if it's a permit company, or a company that is making changes in the neighborhood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the case. The permit is a plan review fee for a buildout of a kitchen. Southside flying pizza is on the 2200 block, as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
