IntheKnowHouston Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Someone inquired about Nickel City updates in an unrelated topic. Does anyone have further information on the bar's opening at 2910 McKinney St, Suite 500? Or any pictures from inside? On 11/1/2023 at 10:27 AM, ljchou said: Are there any updates on Nickel City?

I don't know if Nickel City is close to opening or not. However, I noticed Nickel City's Houston location is listed as one of several participating locations for the Sippin' Santa pop-up. Sippin' Santa is a winter holiday-themed cocktail bar pop-up. I think it begins November 20. So, maybe Nickel City will later this month or by early December. And if not, it appears people can get a sneak peek during the Sippin' Santa pop-up. https://www.sippinsantapopup.com/locations Edited November 3, 2023 by IntheKnowHouston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That type of sign used to be absolutely ubiquitous (particularly among bars and liquor stores), but you don't see them very often anymore. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paywall-free Chron.com has an update pertaining to Nickel City's forthcoming location at 2910 McKinney St, Suite 500. In an article published yesterday, Nickel City's co-owner Travis Tober explains the reason for the delay. He also provides a backstory regarding his decision to open in East Downtown. Nickel City was supposed to open in early 2023, but owner Travis Tober says issues with their East Downtown space proved difficult. As it turns out, there's some legwork that comes with opening in a building that hasn't been used in 40 to 50 years... (Much of the delay) was sourcing electrical equipment. There was a shortage on parts and supply chain issues," [said Tober.] ...As for an opening date, Tober is thinking it will be in mid-January, though he's also hedging on early 2024. https://www.chron.com/food/article/austin-bar-expands-houston-18556975.php 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilcal Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 OMG finally! Chronicle coverage: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/restaurants-bars/article/nickel-city-houston-opening-18617440.php Additional info: The rum bar, called the "Florida Room," will open later this spring, Thursday through Sunday, and serve tropical drinks. Tober is pulling inspiration from his time learning how to bartend in Florida. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
