WestGrayGuy Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) Last weekend I was able to get a sneak preview of a (gay) community favorite lounge, Meteor. This former hotspot has been closed for going on 3 years I believe. I had heard that over a million dollars was spent on the renovation. It will definitely be the nicest club/lounge in the Montrose area.The interior has been gutted and remodeled with a natural feel. There is a lot of "Austin looking" limestone on the walls. They have added new leather couches with better lighting. They have added a DJ booth in the center of the club. Also, they have added a VIP area with silver beaded curtains in the very center of the club. I had heard that the patio will run several hundred thousand dollars when complete. In the back, a few pool tables have been added.I predict this will be a very popular club when it opens.Club opens September 20th. See you there!

dalparadise Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Meteor was already one of the nicest places in Montrose, with its minimalist interior and video walls. IMO, what they needed was a better location and better parking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you there!Charles Armstrong put a lot of money into it.....tiles imported from Italy (so the rumor goes at least!!), etc.....He is going to have a shuttle run between it and the other clubs (South Beach, JRs area) which should help the location/parking issue a bit...Did you see the special guest while you were there> <G> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestGrayGuy Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I had not heard of a shuttle service. Back when it was open, I used to walk the distance from SOBE to Meteor. Kinda crazy I know as it is not the safest. They are like a half mile apart.Yes it was Lukas Ridgeston of Bel Ami fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HtownWxBoy Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 About time this place opens again! I used to LOVE going there and have been wondering when it would open again. I wish it was located right on the strip near SOBE and JRs and all of the other bars... that would be pretty cool if they had some sort of shuttle... i guess we will see.

WestGrayGuy Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Well, I call it a VIP area. It is just a beaded enclosed area that is directly in front of the door. Originally there were flat panels screens above this sitting area. I predict this will definitely affect Guava. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownWxBoy Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Since when did Houston become like Los Angeles.All big cities have VIP rooms and stuff like that in certain clubs and bars... Houston is no different. A friend of mine who used to live in Beverly Hills told me he actually was surprised at how similar Houston was to L.A when it comes to the club/bar scene.... just Houston was obviously on a smaller scale. When I went out to L.A. i thought the same thing... just my opinion of course. Well, I call it a VIP area. It is just a beaded enclosed area that is directly in front of the door. Originally there were flat panels screens above this sitting area. I predict this will definitely affect Guava. Hope not too bad... I love Guava. My bf and I live right up the road in the Heights, so we usually hit Guava before heading into Montrose... or just go to Guava if we only want to go out for a few drink and not drive into Montrose.

WestGrayGuy Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I know that Meteor will do well. Even after the newness wears off, this will still be a fun place to go which is great as I live 4 bocks away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1126 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I missed that on the first read of the original post, but I agree.Me too. Will there be velvet ropes outside as well? (Actually, I'm only half joking as I suspect there will be.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
