ROFL Riiiiiggghhttt First you told us Live Nation "drilled this stuff into [your] head". Now it magically becomes Isaac Tigret who told you . . . Isaac Tigret has not been CEO of HoB since 1997 and he left HoB entirely in 1998, long before anyone from Live Nation (let alone Isaac Tigret himself) was telling stories to HoB Houston employees. (The Houston HoB opened in 2008.) Edited September 18, 2023 by Houston19514 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerNut Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I have no reason to doubt the source considering industry/HOB connections. End of the month supposed to be last day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've made it clear in above posts, but just wanted to make sure haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerNut Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Yes just the restaurant portion. I would ask for more details but someone commented that it wasn't supposed to be public knowledge. My guess is they plan to rearrange seating to focus on stage and retool menu for basic service. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per their website, the restaurant still seems to be a restaurant, with no hint of a comedy club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't mention a timeline. I guess the door codes won't be 1204 anymore... 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 That's actually great news! Downtown needs a comedy club bad. I'm surprised The Houston Improv hasn't moved Downtown yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post X.R. Posted November 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2023 Tom's did a soft, soft opening on Saturday night as said by their bar manager. Went there after the Rockets game. You don't know how nice it is to be able to walk three streets and find a place to hang out with TV's facing the street and people sitting on the patio with generally good vibes. Food was fine, typical bar fare, burger was good, etc. Good/great drink specials. The bar facing the street/patio has a great view. They will be announcing this later, but they are going to be in partnership with the Rockets and will have the official pre-game location. Wish Crane and Co would hurry with the minute maid bars, the ability to make money is so clear. It was a clear funnel from Toyota Center to the bar, and about 30 mins after the game there were tons of people from the game there checking college football games, talking, etc. 10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely exceeding my expectations. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amlaham Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Punch line Comedy Club, which is associated with the House of Blues, will open in September! It will technically have a separate entrance from the House of Blues. It intends to book at least 350 shows per year! More entertainment will be great for this area. https://www.google.com/maps/place/1204+Caroline+St,+Houston,+TX+77002/@29.7532882,-95.3649556,18.68z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x8640bf3ce70e79cf:0x4ba14150e2e84c33!8m2!3d29.753281!4d-95.3639934?entry=ttu 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 More info. The entrance to Punch Line will be where the HOB restaurant entrance was (not Foundation Room, which is still also a restaurant) (1204 Caroline, to be exact; the address included in Amlaham's map link). Construction/remodeling is evident when one walks by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
