With a TABC notice taped to the window, a Sugar Land bar named Club Blaunsch has declared dibs on this space at the northeast corner of Main and Rusk streets Downtown, in the former site of the Reserve Lounge. The storefront at 723 Main St. in the ground floor of the Houston Bar Building had been eyed last year by Springbok — before the South African restaurant changed its plans and moved in 2 doors north on Main to the Capitol Lofts building instead. Club Blaunsch is currently located in the second story of a strip center next to the Target across I-69 from Sugar Land Town Center.

Club Blaunsch
Blaunsch? What an awful name. I wouldn’t hold high hopes.
Flying Saucer is the only establishment on that block that has shown lasting popularity, though Springbok has recently shown signs of life. The population increase in the area provided by the Marriott and BG building might help, but I think the space is too gloomy and uninviting…and the name definitely will not help.
