Sign up at space on Church St. where Burger Boy, Daily Ruckus, Soho, etc. was saying "Coming soon: Rough Branch whiskey bar."


I believe you mean rough draught. Looks like a nice place. They are going to open the sides up to make a patio type atmosphere facing church street. Inside will be an L-shaped bar with thirty beers on tap.

I saw the other day that The Oaks Food Mart on 29th has closed. That place had been there for decades.

Oaks sold a year or so ago. The guy that ran it the past several years is at the store at villa Maria and carter creek.

Oh, so they're knocking out the wall between the old Burger Boy/Daily Ruckus/Soho and the former Apartment Finders/MacResource Center/MaroonBikes? Cool.

Wait, what? So does that mean that the other Spoons stay open? Why is that one closing? I thought they did a good business...

No, I believe the sake bar still owns that restaurant area. Rough draught, who is owned by Duddley's, might partner to use their kitchen though. But it will be two separate places. It isn't going to be a huge bar but it might feel a bit larger when they open up the walls to the outside.

I went to the Bryan spoons last night to try and get some info on the "closing." They claimed they had just had an emergency manager's meeting yesterday afternoon and were told that the franchise owner is selling these Spoons to a franchise owner from Huntsville. It will still be Spoons and they MIGHT close for a week to reorganize but they probably won't close at all during the franchise ownership transition.

So... don't panic.

Updated with some new stuff.

On Soho--so is it closed? Is it going to be a part of Rough Draught?

There's also a place on 2818 (next to the new site of C-Ment, near Quality Used Furniture) called "Tea Leaves Boutique", left it out because it's been open for several months now.

Trying not to panic, but I get quite a bit of leverage out of promising Spoons as a reward for the baby egret!

(I can't imagine that place closing for lack of business. I've seen lines out the door in February. I've never been the only in any of the 3 locations any time I've gone there.)

I'm not sure if it's closed. But it will not be part of Rough Draught.

It appears the trend in reviewing places that aren't open yet has spread beyond Greg D:

http://www.yelp.com/biz/casa-pachita-college-station

This appears to be a soon to open Mexican restaurant of sorts...but those of you on Yelp may wish to flag this review as well.

Flag it for what? It's not really a review it's just talking about what it's going to be.

Flag it for not being a review of a customer experience. Everything on Yelp is a review, and this is reviewing a conversation between the manager and a dude, not an experience in a restaurant. If Greg D posts reviews of businesses before they're open and before he's even eaten their food, and they stay up, other people like this guy are going to do the same, thinking it's ok.
