I guess you're referring to the like between drinking, driving, drunk driving, etc. But I guess if they can sell booze at gas stations, they can sell it at a car dealer. Lots of retail spaces get liquor licenses for lots of non-obvious reasons. For example, a fashion boutique may get a temporary permit if it intends to pour Champagne for guests during a fashion show. I don't know what the TABC rules are, but I've seen that exact scenario play out elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasota Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Yeah, but gas stations typically sell *sealed* alcohol. Even if you're leaving by car, you're probably not drinking until later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you can make the argument about gas stations, grocery stores, liquor stores, etc. but those places aren't selling cars. If you're offering drinks as a way to close a sale, I find that pretty irresponsible on all parties. 43 minutes ago, editor said: I guess you're referring to the like between drinking, driving, drunk driving, etc. But I guess if they can sell booze at gas stations, they can sell it at a car dealer.

Enabling drivers before driving off the lot just looks bad in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're missing the greater point of this specifically being a car dealership. I get that other establishments offer alcohol and parking, thanks for that information but my point is this place is enabling drivers to drive off with alcohol in their system. There's def a difference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you're coming from, I just don't see a distinction that sets an establishment that enables people to drive a car after drinking a few with another establishment that enables people to drive a car after drinking a few. to be honest, I would imagine there would be less sloshy driving after visiting a dealership than the normal bar experience. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amlaham Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Nothing is worse than the new drive thru daiquiri shops that legit sell you alcohol while you're behind a wheel. Its all fun and games until someone dies from a drunk driver......which is about every night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 The alcohol permit may have been for the grand opening party and only temporary. https://www.papercitymag.com/culture/porsche-river-oaks-dealership-houston-opening-party/#408801 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Oh my goodness, people. Back in April the TDLR permit was posted for a renovation/alteration of the building at the back of the property to be an event space/storage area. Project Name: Porsche River Oaks Pavilion. Address: 4007B Greenbriar Drive. We now have a notice of application for "mixed beverage permit with food and beverage certificate" (which means they will also serve a substantial amount of food) on the property currently being renovated, i.e., the event space building (NOT on the completed car dealership building). Address: 4007B Greenbriar Drive. Applicant: Aramark Business Dining Services / Porsche River Oaks Pavilion.

j.33 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 A relative said they saw on the West U neighborhood group that the building is having some serious foundation issues? Coming from a neighborhood online forum, everything must be taken with a grain of salt ., but still thought I would post it. Has anyone heard anything about this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
