Office Building With Retail - 416 Main St.

[IntheKnowHouston]

I don't know if there is a name for the building at 416 Main St. It's in the Central Business District in downtown Houston.

According to Houston Time Portal, the building was home to a bar and billiard parlor named The Cabinet. Moritz Weil Cigars was located there too. The building was also home to Gordon Jewelry Co, according to Arch-ive.org.

The lot at 416 Main St is situated between the Byrd Building (420 Main St) / Byrd's Lofts (919 Prairie St) and the State National Bank Building (412 Main St).

Three entrepreneurs that formed a company last month to open and operate bars and restaurants in the Central Business District have signed their first deal.

Joe Martin, John Zotos and Jeffrey Yarbrough have leased the space at 416 Main Street, formerly home to Saba Blue Water Cafe, and are in the process of renovating the 3,600-square-foot location. It will reopen as a yet-unnamed Mexican restaurant.

This will be the first new restaurant along Main Street since the Downtown Entertainment District opened in October 2003.

As of this past weekend, both Barringer and Bovine & Barley are now open.  Great spots.  One on the 400 and one on the 100 block of main.

As noted in another topic, Bovine & Barley at 416 Main Street is closed. The bar & grill closed in January.

Bovine & Barley was a concept from local hospitality team Eighty Six'd Restaurant & Bar Group.

Sorry if this was already mentioned but it looks like Bovine & Barley and 416 Main St. has permanently closed. Google maps mentions it as permanently closed as well.

Bummer, was a good spot. But it was empty the last time I was there on a Saturday night, so not exactly surprising.

It was the place to be when it first opened but it slowly died over the years.  I watched the Astros win the World Series here so it’ll live on forever in my memory!

I'm not entirely certain, but I think a new concept is already in the works for the former Bovine & Barley space.

Yokoso Hospitality Group ( or YOKOSO Hospitality Group) may have plans for the space. I don't know if this is a newly formed hospitality group or not. I also don't know if its a rebrand of Eighty Six'd Restaurant & Bar Group since all of Eighty Six'd's concepts now fall under the YOKOSO Hospitality Group umbrella.

Listed on YOKOSO Hospitality Group's website is a new concept: Yokoso Club. It's marked coming soon. An address isn't provided but this may be what's planned for 416 Main St.

A domain for Yokoso Club was registered in November; however, the website isn't up and running.

I could be way off the mark and the space could be leased to someone else. Maybe we'll find out later this year.

A plan review for repairs at 416 Main St was filed earlier this week.

Bovine & Barley previously operated here. I think Yokoso Club is opening in its place. Both are from Yokoso Hospitality Group (previously Eighty Six'd Restaurant & Bar Group).

I'm still not for sure if Yokoso Hospitality is still leasing the ground floor space at 416 Main St.

Several days ago, the restaurant group published job postings for a speakeasy concept. The location for the concept is Uptown.

Occupying the ground floor unit at 416 Main St is Off the Record. It's a cocktail bar and record shop opening soon. 

I'm not entirely certain of the operators involved with Off the Record. Steve Rogers (5015 Bar, The Warwick, Rockhouse) has promoted this new nightlife concept on his social media platforms. Still, I'm not sure if he's involved or not. I think at least one of Off the Record's owners is the proprietor of local marketing/event company The Midas Group and party promoter.

Bovine & Barley was the previous occupant of 416 Main St. The bar and grill closed in December. All the posts from Bovine & Barley's Instagram were removed. Additionally the account's name is now Off the Record.

From Bovine and Barley to "Vinyls" and Crosleys. 

It'll be interesting to see if a decent amount of square footage is dedicated to records, or if they're just going to have a shelf of Taylor Swift and Tyler the Creator albums for sale to sell the concept. 

Snark aside, a well done concept that combines something like Sig's Lagoon and Double Trouble could actually be cool in that location.

93'Til is one of my favorite bars in the city so I'm all for more record bars.
