I didn't think Lazy Oaks was that bad. $5 pints. I typically hop between them and 4J since I live in between them. I am looking forward to Kirby's opening but also can't wait for that traffic to get fixed.Boats and Hose said:Totally agree. I really like Lazy Oaks but it's not cheap drinking. I wonder what their approach will be when Kirby Ice House opens up on Gessner this spring? Have to believe that they would lose some of their customers.drumboy said:Bums don't drink Art Car so no need to price them at $7 a pint. Don't have cheap Coors and you're fine.Motis B Totis said:
Shoot the moon is too Far East for me. I honk it's in the old beef and bun location. Lazy oaks is great but I agree the drink prices are way too high. May guess is it keeps the bums out.
I get Cobble & Spoke charging those prices since they sell only small-brewery beers you can't pick a 6 pack of for the price of a pint/snifter.
I am just glad to see the overall direction of the area being positive.
Whoever decided to time the Witte closure with the Gessner construction needs to be hauled to the Dirty Branch town square and hung.
I love the sign right before Witte mentioning the Gessner construction and find an alternate route.
Um, the alternate route is mother effin closed you morons.
Oh well. Welcome to the Dirty Branch where you'll figure it out and be fine.

That coupled with not timing the new light at the car wash with the feeder light at Gessner.
The other day the traffic due to the cluster fck on Gessner was backing up and blocking the feeder intersection and the feeder from Bunker Hill to Gessner was a stand still. Took me 30 mins to get from the Bunker Hill Academy through the light at Gessner.
The best part was seeing people bob and weave through the logjam at all costs to get to Witte thinking they can through.

Traffic at westview and bunker hill almost extends all the way to Witte... any end in sight? Everything coupled with holiday shopping in the area has been a headache.
While I'm excited to celebrate the birth of Christ tomorrow celebrating the return of somewhat normalcy to the intersection of 10 and Gessner will be a close second.
Had to do some final clean stuff at the rent house we moved out of behind CostCo and I do not miss that traffic. (But Blalock makes it bearable)
If you're backed up on Witte/Westview just wait it out at the Blue Lagoon.

Lazy Oaks had some pretty good beer specials during the Astros playoff games. But I'm looking forward to seeing how Kirby Ice House and Mias turn out over there. I'm ready for this area to develop a little faster than it has. Would be nice to have a few less tire shops and maybe a decent coffee shop or a nice restaurant.
I only visit the Blue Lagoon on Friday's for the Karaoke of course haha
I only remember one beer special during Stros games and it was for a foreign owned beer and I'm a local beer drinkin neck beard.
Friday karaoke at the Lagoon is pretty damn funny. You ever see the dude that brings the bird and it'll sit on peoples heads and shoulders?

Can't say I have... Is that you?
I've only been a handful of times and probably been a good year ish since my last visit. Just always seem to fall on a Friday... I just hate waking up Saturday to some of the lyrics on my google search.

Are you back in TGrove now? (I probably missed a post about it)
Went to Lazy Oaks recently and had a horrible experience with the service. It was just all around unpleasant. I don't think I'll be coming ask for a few months.

Yep. Moved back about a month ago and don't miss Bunker Hill traffic. But I do miss walking to CostCo.
Damn, that was 2 streets from our old house (really makes ya think).wessimo said:

4:54 pm is my first recording of someone igniting fireworks in the Dirty Branch. Anyone have an early recording?
Well, I assume that was fireworks...

They just started going off in Spring Shadows. Might be an interesting night now that we have a little one at the house.
I told yall.....yall dont listen. Yall don't believe me that it's a bad part of town.
Lmao, the no habla apartment dwellers by me started on the mofuggin 23rd of the month. Used to piss me off, now I just laugh and hope the interspersed pistol round doesn't fall on my house.
Call me crazy but this didn't seem as bad as last year or the 4th. Granted I had two very loud white noise machines going.

If you think spring branch is a bad part of town wait til you see Cypress or north of 10 Katy. Y'all some scary MFers on here.
I heard just as many fireworks on Christmas Eve than I did last night.
Does anyone know why there were about 300-500 people standing along I-10 EB at Gessner around 10:30 yesterday morning?
Thanks. Quite the crowd.
This is our first Christmas in memorial. Any experienced folks know the pickup schedule for Christmas trees? Can we put it out with regular trash?
The Dirty Branch appears to be getting the first Treebeards outside of Downtown.

Too soon to complain about their food quality going down since they got greedy and expanded into a chain?Chewy said:

Not sure about how well that will do. I've always liked their food and the price point is good, but to me this is a work time tunnel destination, not something I would go to outside of work.

I used to work downtown and would eat in the tunnel location 2-3x a week. It's hard to make it downtown for lunch anymore so this will be good for people like me who like their food but don't have the opportunity to go during the week.
I too wonder how well Treebeards will do outside of a Downtown lunch. I like it for a quick and easy lunch with a good price point but not sure it would ever be a destination dinner spot. It's kind of like Cafe Express to me. Maybe that's a need in this area though as there's really not much of it.
In related news Lupe Tortilla will be expanding into the old Kobe sushi joint next door. They're going to put in more tables obviously but also a bigger bar.

It'll do just fine there.
It's within walking distance of that business complex with Nexen, Murphy, Air Liquide, and all that so it'll get decent weekday lunch traffic.
It'll be a good spot to grab casual lunch of the weekends. They'd be smart to include a weekend brunch menu.

So treebeards is going to be part of the new development with Masraffs etc? I think I read Texadelphia is going in too?
Lived across from downtown location, and because I saw a picture of cheese in their red beans I never ventured in. Seeing that was the first picture on that article it looks like I'll never visit this location.
