crunchtastic Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I just heard the latest demo rumors. Apparently the Roll-N Saloon At 4200 San Felipe Street, Houston, TX (or rather the little strip center it's in) is slated for demo and to be replaced by an 'upscale retail center.' Could this be part of another project? I have zero confirmation, but my buddy at work just read it on his Houston Aggie alum forum. Too bad. That's the sort of neighborhood bar I wish we had more of.

kylejack Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Makes sense though, with how close it is to the Galleria and etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottonmather0 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I haven't been there in years, but love that place. Great bar. It does make sense that it would be dozer fodder in that location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchtastic Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 So what is where the Roll-N used to be? Is it "upscale"?I'm trying to remember the name--we drove past a couple of weeks ago and saw a sign that said something like The Depot--and I believe with a little tag that said 'neighborhood bar'. Which leads me to believe it's not lounge-y but probably nicer than the Roll-N. Speaking of bars, I hear the D&W in my hood has its mardi gras tree up. Time for a visit.

sozavac Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 The name of the new bar is the RailYard. Went during their first week and I would say it's more upscale than the Roll-N, but then again how could it not be. I pulled a photo from their Facebook page to give you a general idea. Best thing about the bar is that they kept the bartenders from the Roll-N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 One of the Melcher Investments properties. Has anyone ever been to the restaurant in the corner? I've heard great things. Railhead is also apart of this retail shopping center. Here's two photos I took this weekend: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
