HANS’ BIER HAUS ON THE ROCKS 
Restraining orders may have put a little damper on the back-and-forth between Hans’ Bier Haus and some of the fun-loving residents of the 2520 Robinhood at Kirby condo building that towers over it next door, but Miya Shay reports things are back to uh, normal now. Bar owner Bill Cave tells her he “believes a big chunk of ice crashed through his roof and into the bar” in the wee hours of this past holiday weekend. But gosh, where’s the evidence? (Note: Video posted with the story is out of date; Hans’ Bier Haus already renewed its license.) [abc13; previously on Swamplot] Photo: Jack H.

Those condo owners are pitiful, move you passive aggressive snobs.. Ice doesn’t just randomly fall in Texas, especially Houston..
It has to be just one guy because it doesn’t seem likely to have that many petty crazies living in one building, although condo buyers are a very special type of person in this town.
Where is the evidence you ask? Look at that puddle of water over there. It was a chunk of ice last night – I swear!
:)
Affluenza..
People who have been diagnosed with Southampton Syndrome should be quarantined. Preferaby in South America somewhere.
At some point someone may get killed as a result of the homeowners. And, again, I hope the disrict attorney’s office charges all of the homeowners with capital murder.
Someone really should post a list of the owners somwhere so we can avoid them.
We already know to avoid Robert Durst.
The crazies are the the ones perpetuating this stupid lawsuit. What would be really funny is if the one tossing all of the refuse, ice, meat, etc, fell down while committing these crimes, broke his neck, and was paralyzed. Then he would have to sit in a wheelchair with one of those rubber mouth joysticks and hear the great time going on below.
I did post a list of the owners, but it was struck down a few months ago. Check hcad.org. Type in the address and you will have a list of everyone that owns a unit.
Reminds of that Alfred Hitchcock Presents episode where Barbara Bel Geddes kills her husband with a frozen leg of lamb and then cooks it and serves it to the detectives.
Is there a “Mythbusters” episode which tells you how big of an ice block you need to crash through a roof? Reminds me of those old stories of huge chunks of “toilet water” ice falling, from passing jets, and smashing into some unfortunate chump’s living room.
That Alfred Hitchcock piece was based on a Roald Dahl story.
Typical Houstonians. Move into a neighboorhood, then think you can change it because you didn’t do a little research as to who your neighboors are.
Don’t look now, but someone is getting ready to open ANOTHER bar on the other side of this building. Stayed tuned…the owner of this new establishment has a rather, um, interesting reputation.
Don’t look now, but someone (Andrew Jarecki, who made “Capturing the Friedmans”) is coming out with a film based on the life of Robert Durst.
Maybe that is contributing to the general angst stirring up the highrise anthill on Robinhood.
Looks like some of the high rise tenants are on a posting frenzy. If they are representative of the rest of the condo owners, well…….
Oh wow, this is getting intense. Maybe channel 13 ought to report on the alleged comments by alleged members of both parties.
How can you hate a (practically) public bocce ball court though? I mean…how???
Actually, @PYEWACKET2, those comments all came from the same person, posing as several different people, which of course is trolling. They’re gone now.

It’s called Southampton Syndrome. Like a plague at this point. Inevitably the victims proclaim that they’re “pillars of the community” so they should be “accomodated.”
If you want to learn more about our “pillars of the community” go put your name on the waiting list at Brazos Bookstore or Barnes and Noble or on the back order list on Amazon for a soon-to-be-best-seller titled Monster in River Oaks. The author probably should be titled it Monsters in River Oaks.

I missed the good stuff again?
The owners / managers are #ssholes. I am personally glad that somebody at least brought Hans’ some physical damage. I was not allowed into the bar just because I had a concealed handgun license, and no… I wasn’t carrying. I even offered for the manager to pat me down. I have not been back since and will never go to Hans’ again.
09 – I’ve been to this place many times. It’s one of my favorite low-key just grab a beer and hangout place. I’ve never had anyone be rude to me there in the past 7 years. I’m not a regular, only been there maybe 12 times, but over the years everyone has been nothing but pleasant. And how did they even know you have a CHL? I doubt there was someone at the door asking people if they have a CHL as they were walking in.
From Sam:
And how did they even know you have a CHL?

Maybe he has a copy of his CHL on his T-shirt? Or maybe, do I dare say this, he had a bulge in his pants and they thought it was a gun and asked if he had a CHL and then decided they didn’t want him or his bulge in the bar?
I think 09 is telling tales. Maybe he also likes to toss ice cubes from his hirise garage on the bars below?
Maybe 09 was rockin’ his “Got Glock?” t-shirt, again.
HOUSTON THE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE.
LMAO!!! I was there last night. The hole is pretty big. Those A@#holes in the apartment need to quit it before someone gets hurt. @90: I think I just lost IQ points from reading your fiction. Please don’t do that again. If that actually happened, it wasn’t because of your concealed handgun license. It was because you are a resident of the evil condo next door and there is a restraining order keeping you off of the property. Mental Midget.
I like Hans’, and I wish everybody would just cut the crap. It’s not loud, it’s rarely crowded and has terrific outdoor seating…hardly a biker bar, or post-college drinkathon dump.
Just a small pub, minding its business.
If they run Hans’ off, I nominate the dearly departed Emo’s to step in AND ROCK, BABY.
Yeah, 09 is probably another troll.
Sadly emo’s location is now high end lofts and apartments or condos now. Beautiful building, but somehow it’s not the same, even the neighborhood around it is nice, a marked change from what I recall from the early to mid 1990’s. You’ll find me at Keneallys anyway..

I remember this incident. Instead of showing me his DL, passport, or military ID, this dumbass pulls out his TX CHL. Hell no I am not going to let him in. It is not a valid form of ID and it should be kept to himself and LEOs that comes across, not a door guy at the bar.
