Will be nice to add a bit more vibrancy to the neighborhood. Yesterday, Lustre Pearl announced it is opening for a sneak peek this weekend in an Instagram story. The bar is located in the East Village development at 2106 Dallas St, Suite 100. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to trying it out. I was reserving judgment because I've found Agricole to be really hit or miss, but HiWay is a hit for sure. Was really impressed with the food and happy to see it well-packed on a weeknight. Great salsa and queso. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bar is located in the East Village development at 2106 Dallas St, Suite 100. I was out for a walk along St. Emmanuel on Sunday and decided to walk into Lustre Pearl when I noticed people peeking from the rooftop. Based on a discussion with the bartender, Lustre Pearl is open. They are pretty much working with a blank slate, so I am interested to see how they will fit into the East Downtown neighborhood and the Houston bar scene in general. They are currently doing drink service only. They plan to serve food in the near future once they have developed their menu. They have a vision to bring in a mix of events and entertainment: trivia, DJ's, live music, drag brunch, etc. I unfortunately did not take any photos. The space is huge! Where the Austin locations are more vintage rustic, the East Downtown location is industrial rustic. The interior on the first level was wonderfully done. Plenty of bar, lounge, and high top seating on the first level. Plenty of standing room on both levels. The rooftop is beautifully done. It has a great view of the Downtown skyline. From what I can tell, there was not a lot of noise bleeding from the surrounding bars with outdoor spaces, such as Truck Yard and Sunset, and vice versa. Looking forward to making this a regular stop in the neighborhood. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a loss for East Village. Hopefully Ancorian can find a new tenant(s) soon. Preferably tenants that are able to execute a good concept and draw crowds.

I hope so, but the language sounds more like doom and gloom for businesses on Saint Emanuel afterall. I hope this is just a conservative/self preservation move by Agricole (which I don't blame them for at all) and not much more than that.

I'm Not a Robot Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 (edited) Foot traffic around this area always seems to be low unless it's a game day. I think the highway project will make foot traffic even worse. Hopefully Seaside doesn't leave, and if they do hopefully they relocate to east river or the mill. I would hate to lose them in this area. Edited September 28 by I'm Not a Robot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.Res Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 I have wondered what the i45-project will do to Eado in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking at similar projects in other cities, and it might be good, or it might be bad, or it might not change a thing. It all seems pretty random. I haven't been following this as closely as I'd like. Are TXDOT's current plans set in stone, or are they still subject to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanjorade Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 The other places around there do well. I think their concepts just didn’t attract people like they thought. Put in a breastaurant and watch the foot traffic step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible, but I'm not so sure. It seemed like HiWay was getting really good traction. Vinny's not as much, and I can't speak to Lightnin's. I suppose it's possible that after the failure of Miss Carousel and Indianola, they felt like that particular location just wasn't worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ate at HiWay's a couple weeks ago, and I am not joking when I say this. Possibly the worse Mexican food I have ever had. Eastwood has so many amazing authentic Mexican restaurants, this was not one of them. Still would rather them be open and not a stupid highway extension. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Ewert Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Dang, that just wasn’t my experience at all. With the caveat they were very much Tex-Mex (which is an entirely distinct cuisine from authentic Mexican in my mind), I thought they were stellar. The handful of times I went there, I was always really pleased with it. To each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
