I thought I was on the Houston Board when I bumped this. Stumbled on it while looking for another thread about restaurants and had to stop and laugh.

Oh it's a great bump

Just realized we were moving towards the third shouting of Beetlejuice!

Maybe not a great idea for that area long term (educated, affluent, etc), but I'm sure they'll have a bump in short term.

First time seeing this article, I know a bunch of cops who will love this place.

This restaurant opened about 6 months before Covid if I remember correctly. Met up with my cousin and a buddy there right before the lockdowns and it was doing very well. Coincidentally, most of our discussion over dinner and beers centered around how serious we thought the virus was and whether we would see any societal interruptions here. We all agreed that there likely wouldn't be a significant response to it in America, then boom, not even a week later, we are all told not to come into the office.

I bet the insane reaction to Covid redpilled the hell out of ownership if I had to guess. This is a gathering place, meant for large groups and children...a place to have a few beers and some grub with friends while the kids run around...it's not really geared to be a takeout place. Their business model could not have been worse suited for a world of lockdowns.



I honestly thought there was no way they would make it through the pandemic and am glad to be proven wrong. Can't imagine how tough that must have been, having only just a few months of operations under your belt before being forced to shut down and/or severely alter your business model.

Don't know the owners, but they did host an event for Alexandra Mealer last year, running against Lockdown Lina.

Was doing very well last few times we went or drove past. Kills it when the weather is nice.

Preslees & their badass Republican owner Brandon are awesome

Yeah that place crushes it. Will be there at lunch today actually. Also, it pulls a lot of different types of people too, truly a melting pot of customers.

Nice turn of phrase....

I think you meant full of leftists and too close to Montrose. It's a gentrifying area where white liberals move in and get burglarized by the Mexicans who were there first. But the point remains that it's a bold move.

This description is wrong in many ways.

It's nowhere near Montrose.

It's not gentrifying. It is gentrified, though it didn't need much.

The area is probably 55/45 commies/normies.

Source? Me. I live about 2 miles from it.

We love this place...used to live about a mile and a half north of there. From my observation, they became heavily redpilled, and very open about it, during Covid. They opened maybe 6mo to 1yr before Covid if I remember correctly, with a business model that is geared about as poorly for government mandated shutdowns as you can be (outdoor recreation seating, playground, meant for large gatherings etc).

It was actually sad driving by it during the lockdowns, after seeing how popular and bustling it had been before the pandemic. Thank goodness business appears to be pretty good nowadays but I get the feeling they barely scraped by to survive. It's just not a "take-out" place.

I eat here about once a week or so, it is in my hood. Great spot. I love how they troll Heights liberals… so funny. Funny thing is lots of black people eat here too for some of the soul food plates, lots of cops, regular innerloopers, so it is a wide variety of people that dont take the trolling seriously or probably agree with it. This place prints cash and has a corner on the market over here especially with Kings gone.

I was a regular at a restaurant in The Vintage until they posted this on a board above their front door. Politics and a diverse group of customers don't mix. pic.twitter.com/EkvLtUPGJ4

Not sure of a need for a "diverse group of customers." Why is that a goal? You want your place full of customers, you want to serve them well with good food and drink, and you want their repeat business and them to refer others. Matters not if they are diverse.
