bookey23 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The only difference I see is that someone colored in the graffiti. Is any work actually being done on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I saw 2 work pick ups in the back, so all work is being done on the inside. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Hey, seeing all this development, how in the heck is Slick Willy's still around? It is such a LooOOoooOoOooong time staple of Montrose so there is that of course...but from what i can tell it never seems to be as busy as it was back in the 90s early 2000's... I wonder if it will ever be upgraded or change hands etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know development has been announced and buildings have been torn down, but so far lower Westheimer is less developed now compared to 6 or 7 years ago (apart from Montrose Collective). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 yeah...don't get me wrong either...i love the older buildings so changing this (and lower westheimer) will make my heart kinda hurt to be honest as i miss the montrose of old (80's/90's) i am just so darn confused about how SW's stays afloat!? haha! Is it way busier than i can ever tell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 i am glad they painted however a darker color would match the vibe i "thought" he would have gone for... we shall see... (i was picturing lots of wood and glass...sort of back to the Hay Merchant look which was awesome in my opinion) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Last week, CultureMap reported Drake's / Drake's Hollywood opens to the public this week. It's scheduled to open August 29. The steakhouse restaurant is located at 1100 Westheimer Rd. Previously Georgia James and The Hay Merchant operated there. More from the article: The decision to bring Drake’s to Houston came after Pond and his business partners purchased the property at 1100 Westheimer. They’ve transformed the space, claiming most of what had been Underbelly and Hay Merchant for the new restaurant. However, they left approximately 2,000-square-feet for a piano lounge that will open later this fall, Pond reveals. https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/new-houston-restaurant-serves-up-steaks-sushi-and-retro-vibes/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Great. A dressy, pizza, pasta, sushi, steakhouse, piano bar concept, all with a Hollywood Celebrity design motif and what certainly will be overly elevated prices, because..."Drake". I give it a year, despite lure of the gratis Vin Scully Fries with ranch dressing. Next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
