By there today... Houston is closed for "remodeling" but still awesomely taking resovations as though they are open via open table. A little inconvenient for my party of 5 guests who requested to go here specifically....
The sign says they will reopen end of August as "Houston Avenue Bar" hopefully a step up from their past offerings. I'm sure the updated keg 1 block away added some well deserved competition in the area.
