BARS WITHIN A BAR AT LOWBROW IN MONTROSE 
Eater Houston reports that Lowbrow, the restaurant and bar from Free Press Houston founder Omar Afra, will open tomorrow night here at the corner of W. Main and Mandell in Montrose. This photo shows the mural that’s replacing the former Sophia sign. Inside, there will be even more art: The place will have wallpaper that sports drawings of the Astrodome, Houston Oilers logo, and Barnett Newman’s Broken Obelisk sculpture at the nearby Menil Collection. And it appears that there will also be a channel of rather meta reality programming for you to watch: “[A] projection screen . . . will play scenes from other local bars.” [Eater Houston; previously on Swamplot] Photo: Eater Houston

If I could have bought that property, I wouldn’t have sold our apartment complex next door
What’s your comment, Cody, have to do with the article? This bar sounds horribly boring. What’s the draw?
Cindy, what’s the draw of any bar?
It’s already an eyesore
Love that mural. Michael Rodriguez rocks!
Completely bad idea to have a bar in this area. WTH were yall thinking? The noise from the patio is horrible. Keeping most of us up at night DURING THE WEEKDAY. Mgr did not care at all. Owner wants to buy me a window? Now I have to think about moving. I really did like this neighborhood before. It was QUIET.
