Is there a bar in Houston that has the feeling of a Dixie Chicken and caters to ags? If not, anyone want to open one with me? I'm talking wooden tables for 42, good food, and real relaxed.

They just Built a re-creation of the Dixie Chicken on Washington, it opens this week!

DAMNIT! Seriously?

Trrbl

No bar in Houston is going to cater to ags

Is try armadillo

Blancos

pretty damn good repro, all the way down to the meter

Gingerman?

Not sure about the Ags part, but they have wooden tables outside.

i dont think it's that far fetched. Big Woodrows draws in a huge LSU crowd for their games. Why not something like that for Aggies?

Because we grow up after we graduate.

I hear Brazos River Bottom is pretty close.

You should check that out.

Blanco's

I already told you, Blancos

Good suggestion

Edit: meant for txag79

REBEL's is much more like The Hall or Hurricane Harry's than the Chicken.

Off the top of my head Armadillo Palace seems the closest to the chicken. I wonder if a Dixie Chicken like bar would be successful in Houston for this generation. Even at A&M among current students the chicken isn't the institution it once was. I imagine 25 years ago there were several Chicken'esque bars that were ran out of business by more modern ones.

I would go out of my way to ensure there isn't even the possiblity of me going to a chicken like bar

You're such a SAAB owner, dino

Another vote for Kay's

I have had dreams of buying that big green barnyard looking antique shop next to the railroad tracks on Heights Blvd. and turning it into something similar. Pool tables, 42, badass burgers, maybe even a snake tank and it would definitely cater to Ags. Would be like a Big Woodrow's for A&M alumni. But i dont have any $$$, parking may be an issue, and it probably would fail.

Lot's of Aggies in the Heights.

I'd slam beers there....

Great minds think alike. You got the $$$???

Alice's Tall Texan

haha. I've got some. Would need an investor as well.

and as for terradactylexpress, we get it. You "grew up" after college and hate the idea of a relaxed fun bar for young professionals.

I do find it strange that a "grown up" such as yourself still posts on such a "childish" forum. Here's the great thing about this new bar that is going to be incredibly successful. You can decide not to show up anytime you want!! Yepee! In fact, i'll do you a favor. If you get the urge to one day show up because you have heard how nice and enjoyable it is, just come to the door, ask for me the owner, and then i can tell you to go catch a flight to NYC, climb to the top of the Empire State Building, and jump off onto a bicycle without a seat on it.

Every! Body! Wins!!!!!


But in all seriousness, we need to do this

I left my sweater vest at home

Yawn

I love related fun bars. I frequent them often. I don't see why the need to cater to a certain school

Relaxed

Seriously, paint that b**** maroon, call it "The Station", offer cold ass beer, gameday specials, and the Ags will come.

no kidding! Is that thing for sale right now?

I'll become a regular as long as the men's bathroom isn't a trough.

Don't think so, but I'm pretty sure I have seen the owners and they appeared to be pretty damn old, we could probably take advantage of them. jk

Oh No!! Somebody has different tastes than I do and I'm gonna be a meanie head on the interweebs because their opinion is different. That'll show 'em

Hey, watch how you talk to my much younger, richer business partner!

Senor nice guy. it's fun jabbing. if somebody really tried to talk mean like that, he'd probably get choke slammed by the girl he was in a fight with.

And Brotron. I need to meet these people. Work out a deal.
