AND YET ANOTHER BAR IS COMING TO MAIN ST.’S HAPPENING 300 BLOCK 312 Main St., Downtown Houston The stretch of Main St. downtown between Prairie and Congress that’s been nominated for the Ground-Floor Retail Award in this year’s Swampies will soon have another bar to add to its growing collection. A food-and-mixed-drinks establishment named Bar Materia — at least that’s the proposed name — is planned for the spot shown at left at 312 Main. Last week, the folks behind Anvil, Hay Merchant, and Underbelly announced plans to open The Nightingale Room a couple doors down at 308 Main St., downstairs from Captain Foxheart’s Bad News Bar & Spirit Lodge.

I believe that Nightingale Room is going to be in the space beneath the space *currently* occupied by Bad News Bar.

@adr: You’re right. That’s better news; we’ve fixed it above.

I’m now counting 13 bars on this block. Waiting for a good cafe… (corner of main and congress?)

Didn’t that ugly beige storefront in the pic used to be The Hub? Talk about a renovation that shouldn’t have happened.
