A self-proclaimed “loyal reader from the First Ward” ventures into Woodland Heights to snap and send this photo documenting construction taking place at the former gas station at 2631 White Oak — home most recently to Beer Island — and the continuing transformation of White Oak Dr. When construction is complete, the spot on the corner of Studewood will become the 5th Houston location of Little Woodrow’s.

Little Woodrows does know there is a Christians right down the street right? There are only so many douchebags to go around people!
This situation is probably not as poetic, but the same basic scenario (including elements of the original clientele of the vacating bar) was dramatized in the famous Southpark episode, a la ‘300’ style.
I know it was not the case here at all, but I still giggle hoping it was…
“..the Washingtonification of White Oak Dr.”
FTFY.
I spent many an afternoon/evening and many a dollar at Beer Island and I’ll miss, but it was like they were almost trying to make it a dump. Sad to see Beer Island go, but excited about Woodrows. Hopefully it will be more like the Midtown location and less like the East End location.
whats the east end location like? never been
Come on….there’s no comparing the douches on Washington to White Oak. Not yet anyway…
No kidding. Woodrow’s is a neighborhood bar. They won’t have a bouncer with a clipboard and velvet ropes.
@Josh……It’s a freakin icehouse dude. Would you rather an Emo’s Houston? You need to go one size up on yer skinny jeans bro.
…looks like the Public House Heights down the street will be better.
Jimmy’s still rules!
