Not sure if mentioned yet but I walked by Karne on White Oak and they closed as well.
I've always felt like its odd when somewhere like a pizza place claims their restaurant has a "mission".Gaeilge said:
Called it.
They're not. 1891 was sublet before they even annouced they were closing. Some other 'dream big' type will step into Grace's and make a go at it.CDUB98 said:
Considering the number of failures, with many of you who have way more insight here than me, strongly linked to high rent, when are owners going to start lowering rent to help keep their cash flow moving?
In the long run, off/on tenants is a money loser versus continuous presence.
Interesting.Quote:

True dat, and most of them are overpriced and meh. Not bad, but not worth the price, IMO.Quote:
There is an oversaturation of pizza places.

Sucks. They had a good happy hour and the smash burger for like $5 was appealing but my wife never wanted to go and there are too many rainbow flags for me to go to alone.
there's a reason for that. we lived walking distance and went 1 time.WES2006AG said:
Is Studewood Cantine next? They have had very few patrons the few times I've been there.
I am also walking distance but after giving them 2 chances I won't be back. The food sucks and the whole DJ booth thing is just odd. Not to mention the service was awful for the 8 people in the restaurant.Furlock Bones said:there's a reason for that. we lived walking distance and went 1 time.WES2006AG said:

Look, I'm not implying anything about the bar's orientation, but they did have a Subaru car meet up at their Saint Paddy's fest.Panama Red said:Lamenting a lesbo bar closing is not a turn I saw this thread taking.drumboy said:Gaeilge said:

A restaurant inspired by cowboy tradition with wood-fired food will open in the Heights area this fall.
Long Weekend will debut at 2042 E. T.C. Jester from husband-and-wife duo Paige and Andrew Alvis. The restaurant was inspired by Andrew's weekends at his family's ranch growing up with cattle branding, campfire cooking, horseback riding, country music and storytelling.
Long Weekend will have a whopping 8,000 square feet of indoor space, including a cozy breakfast cafe and the main dining room. Outside, 20,000 square feet is dedicated to open-air amenities, including a nature-inspired playground, TVs for sports, a water feature and a stage for live music. The couple is working with Texas-based architecture, interior design and branding agency Harrison.
The menu highlights wood-fired cuisine with a Western and cowboy influence. Steaks, fresh fish, quail and elk are all slated for the menu. Lighter options will include salads, seasonal soups and grilled garden vegetables. The bar will offer cocktails and a large selection of beer.
The morning cafe will serve tacos, house-baked pastries, locally roasted coffee and more. The Alvises want it to be an all-day destination.
This is the first restaurant for the Alvises. Andrew is a commercial real estate developer with roots in restaurant and retail development. Paige is a former public accountant. They have two young boys and wanted to open a place where adults could enjoy a quality meal and cocktails while kids play freely.
Went on a date there several years ago and am surprised how long it's stayed open. Seemed like they mastered the nice/casual concept, where you pay nice prices for casual service. But there may be another reason I didn't feel like going there again.BigGuyKy18 said:

Long Weekend is the new restaurant coming soon to the 2036 East TC Jester shopping center. It will occupy the space previously held by EggHaus and King's Bierhaus.
The restaurant bills itself as "an immersive dining experience rooted in Western traditions with Texas flair." They plan to offer "cowboy cuisine, interactive activities, and a warm welcoming environment where guests can connect with nature, community, and authentic craftsmanship, all in a refined sports bar setting."
It appears Long Weekend is the latest dining concept from the team behind Wild, the cafe and dispensary.
As for an opening timeline, Long Weekend aims to debut this fall.
To clarify, the former units leased to EggHaus/EggHaus Gourmet (2042 E TC Jester Blvd) and King's Bierhaus (2044 E TC Jester Blvd) have been combined. This consolidated space will house the new Long Weekend restaurant.

So like beef jerkey, a tin cup of beans, cowboy biscuits, grainy coffee, and a mechanical bull in the middle of the restaurant?

I root for just about any small business (as long as the owners are not hardcore libs that hate me and my family and Jesus Christ), but this concept makes me kind of nervous. Wish em the best.Gaeilge said:

That's where they're going? I'm interested to see how they pull that off. If they do it well, I'll start going back to that place.Gaeilge said:
