Review: Glorias in Midtown
We decided to finally check out the new Gloria’s Mexican Restaurant in Midtown for happy hour. This place took over the old location of Ruby Tequilas. We weren’t quite sure what to expect, but found a totally renovated and beautiful restaurant that far surpasses Ruby Tequilas. You can check out photos of the place below, [...]
Review: Paciugo Italian Gelato & Caffe
I’ll admit that I’m a sucker for gelato. When visiting Italy, I practically ate it whenever possible. While I have some favorite spots around Midtown for gelato… I’ve been trying to find a place that served gelato like I saw in Italy. The kind with chunks of chocolate and other toppings mashed up in the gelato that [...]
Houston House = Awesome Views (and changed opinion)
This weekend we headed over to a friend’s new apartment in Houston House… one of Downtown’s older apartment buildings currently undergoing renovations. The place is actually very nice inside… with a new club level, decent pool, outdoor grills, gym, basketball court (no wood floors yet), and upgraded appliances. However, the main selling point about this [...]
Phoenicia Foods Downtown Review
We finally headed over to the new Phoenicia Foods in Downtown under One Park Place to check it out… and needless to say we were very impressed. While not enormous, the place was a lot larger than we expected and offers pretty much anything a person could need from a grocery store. Read more after [...]
Pseudo Review: Blackfinn Grille in Midtown
On Saturday night we headed over to the new Blackfinn Grille in Midtown after a dinner at Farrago’s. I’ll let you know upfront that I’m calling this a pseudo review because we didn’t eat dinner (and I didn’t snap any pics)… so it is what it is. Anyways, we didn’t really know what to expect [...]
Tree of Life: Showing off Houston
This past weekend we went to go see The Tree of Life at the River Oaks. For those of you unaware, this is the Brad Pitt/Sean Penn film that was being filmed around Houston last year. The movie itself is VERY different by combining artistic and philosophical elements with a (sort of) storyline. While this [...]
Review: Saint Arnold’s Brewery Tour
If you live in Houston (or Texas for that matter) and have not had a Saint Arnold’s beer… well, there is no hope for you. Saint Arnold’s has been around since 1994. Their first brewery was located off of Highway 290 in a cramped, hot, and dingy warehouse in sort of a strip mall business [...]
Late Night at The Mink
Last night InnerLooped headed out to The Mink in order to check out the scene (and support a buddy in his new taco truck venture). The Mink is a cool bar in Midtown along the light rail at Alabama. They have a bar in the front, a patio in the back, then another bar in [...]
Mai’s Grand Re-Opening with a Dragon Dance
On Saturday, April 16th at 11am, Mai’s Restaurant in Midtown held it’s grand re-opening by hosting a ribbon cutting ceremony to much fanfare. There were Houston Firefighters on hand (some of whom helped fight the fire that destroyed the structure fourteen months prior), as well as representatives from the city, Midtown, and the press. The event started [...]
Review: El Real
Last Saturday night I visited the new El Real Restaurant in Montrose (in the old Tower Theater). We arrived to find a full parking lot, so we valeted and made our way through a crowd of people to put our names on the waiting list. After about 35 minutes, we were ushered to our table [...]
