clutchcity94 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Any updates on what the construction crews over at 601 Richmond are working on? Brooklyn Athletic club was the former occupant of this space, but they've been closed for nearly a year now, if not longer. The latest update I heard was that Pi Pizza's Anthony Calleo was opening a new restaurant in the space, but that was last reported on back in July 2018 (source: http://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/07-19-18-whats-eric-eating-podcast-anthony-calleo-pi-pizza-new-montrose-restaurant/#slide=0). Anyone know? I also noticed that the two old brick houses directly adjacent to this space are on the market for a cool $1M each (source: and https://www.har.com/4316-jack-street/sale_33223330 and https://www.har.com/4320-jack-street/sale_27800941).

The bar's name: Lotti Dotti Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lottidottibar/ Website: http://lotti-dotti.com Thanks for the update! Where did you hear the news? I’m hoping this new business can put some pressure on the city to clean up the nearby homeless encampment on the 59 S on-ramp (which is less than 500 feet from this property).

From Houston Food Finder yesterday:As parking can be challenging in this area, the Lotti Dotti team hopes to build a parking garage within walking distance.https://houstonfoodfinder.com/2019/06/25/first-bite-new-houston-restaurant-lotti-dotti-brings-the-party-to-montrose/ There is another parking garage for the purpose of providing parking for businesses under consideration for lower Westheimer. Building a parking garage, eh? That might explain why 4316 Jack St and 4320 Jack St are listed for sale at $999,999 each... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they are cleared out this location will suffer This. My wife and I actually swung by there on Saturday. We were sitting on the patio, right next to the metal fence, when a homeless man on a bicycle yelled an expletive as he threw a full beer can towards the fence. It landed two feet from my wife, luckily on the the street-facing side of the fence. Edited June 26, 2019 by clutchcity94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutchcity94 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Is this location cursed? Or is something bigger and better moving in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crock Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 it suffers from not being in midtown proper or lower westiehmer proper and if you're already getting in a car to go to that part of town you're ending up at Axelrad. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see how this pocket of Montrose develops once the tech innovation area next door is complete. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedistrict84 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Eater article on the subject cites social media pages which ominously hinted at “unforeseen circumstances.” The location isn’t the best, but there is a lot of road construction going on down that stretch of Richmond currently which probably didn’t help. https://houston.eater.com/2019/11/25/20981779/lotti-dotti-closes-houston-montrose-patio-bar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Yeah this location is going to be hit or miss until the Tech District gets rolling. I lived on Jack St and enjoyed walking over when it was still Brooklyn Athletic. Edited December 3, 2019 by j_cuevas713 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clutchcity94 Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 Just did some digging and looks like it’ll be a restaurant/bar/club called Outside.
