Moore713 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 But ar least the expansion of the bar/social scene continues to expand. .here hoping retail can follow a similar path ..It just takes one or two business to have the balls to take a chance. . Like they okra and others did on main Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a great crowd there. I was there tonight enjoying a burger and a Lawnmower. Great sportsbar and the outdoor patio w/ fountain will be a nice spot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealEstate Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Went up yesterday in the former Subway ground-floor retail for the Hermann Lofts. ProvisionsLLC Hmm. Provisions you say? I'll take a Pass on speculating. Map updated! The former Subway space occupied by Provisions, LLC will be a new Tex-Mex & tequila concept by a group that owns several bar and food concepts around town. The Thai space will be a new outpost from the owners of Morningside Thai. The area is quickly filling in. This may be the place to be in 2016.

Nole23 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Awesome. I plan on going there this Thursday to watch the first NFL game. Looks bigger on the inside than I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Awesome. I plan on going there this Thursday to watch the first NFL game. Looks bigger on the inside than I would have thought.I went yesterday. Super nice people. It is quite large. Big bar, lots of tables. Good food, beer, shots. Pool, table shuffle board, basketball. They are still working on the patio but it will be amazing when they are ready to open it. This place is a HOMERUN (pun intended) for downtown. Very exiting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nole23 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Awesome. I used to go to the one in Midtown all of the time when I lived at Post for 2 years. I hangout downtown more often now so I was pumped when I heard this was coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downtownian Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Mia Bella on Main is closed due to substantial water damage. Unfortunate because of the historic nature of the building.

Nole23 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Just left Christian's Tailgate to catch the game. I really like this location and can't wait until the patio is complete. I had a group of about 10 people and none of them even knew this place existed or was in the works. I guess that's the perks of reading HAIF every day.

102IAHexpress Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I checked out Christian's Tailgate last night. Looks promising. Tried getting a bite to eat, but it was actually full at the bar. Place had a strange smell though. Anyways, the fact that it is busy is a good thing I think. I hope it works out, but sports bars have not done that well in the past in downtown. NFL games are only 20 or so Sundays a year maybe a few more games sprinkled in on weeknights? What's the sports going to do the rest of the year? Live had trouble with lunch time crowds. But I won't be a Debbie downer. Like I said it looks promising. Big huge windows on congress (live was like a cave) nice patio, feels like part of the neighborhood. What's the food like? I heard they have good burgers.

cspwal Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I think the smell is from the rubber drain mats at the bar - they're brand new and I think they still smell like that. There are more sports than football[citation needed] like Astros games, Dynamo games, and Rockets games. And with more downtown nightlife and residents, having a place to watch sports is a good addition to the mix of bars. I had the shrimp po-boy and it was good, while my girlfriend said the burger was good but didn't finish it.

102IAHexpress Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Not to mention college sports. True. College football is another 12 Saturdays a year. Like I said I think it's promising but I think sports bars in downtown need to attract lunch crowds. There's no sports on tv during weekday lunch. Good, inexpensive, reliable lunch food would be a big plus. Then anything they get in the evening is gravy. I'm going to check them out for lunch one of these days. It's raining today so maybe not today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably 100+ days/nights of college basketball every year. Edited September 11, 2015 by Houston19514 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
