Congratulations! It's a bar
The stakes are high at 2511 Bissonnet: $2,500 bucks and a moniker are on theline
Fans of the Gallant Knight were devastated when CultureMap reported that the second incarnation of the Houston jazz institution would close at the end of the year.
Then, we were the first to report that the owners of Vintage Lounge would take over the location at 2511 Bissonnet on Jan. 1, with plans to add a kitchen and new late hours while retaining the casual, come-as-you-are ambiance.
But the rest of the reinvention of the prime spot near the corner of Bissonnet and Kirby, which has seen its share of openings and closures, is up to you. The new owners are sponsoring a contest to name their new venture, with the incentive of a $2,500 tab for the winner. (That's a lot of drinks.)
The deadline is Friday at midnight, so get your thinking caps on and harken back to the days when your darling-est dream was to open your own bar with your buddies. Submit ideas to namemybar@gmail.com and check back on CultureMap next week for the winning name.
