Exciting New Cocktail Hangout: The Kid to Open in Houston!

Hey there, cocktail lovers! Houston is about to get a whole lot more exciting with the opening of The Kid, a brand new cocktail bar taking over the space that used to be home to Flying Fish at the busy corner of 19th St. and Durham Dr. Set to open its doors in April, this one-of-a-kind venue promises to bring a fresh twist to the Houston bar scene!

A Family Affair

The Kid is not just another cocktail bar; it’s part of a family of beloved establishments owned by the same company that ran Flying Fish, the craft beer haven Flying Saucer, and the popular burger joint Rodeo Goat. Joining in on the adventure will be Asa Hanrahan, the beer director for several Flying Saucer locations, who will spearhead this exciting venture. The inspiration for The Kid actually came when Hanrahan had his eye on the location long before it transitioned from a tire shop to a taproom, and once Flying Fish closed in November, he jumped at the chance!

Classic Cocktails Done Right

What should you expect when you walk into The Kid? Well, get ready for a chic yet welcoming atmosphere that combines the laid-back vibe of a neighborhood dive with the sophistication of an upscale cocktail lounge. The interior aims to be family-friendly, making it the perfect hangout for all ages, without feeling snooty!

As for the drinks? Stay tuned because the cocktail menu is still being fine-tuned. The focus will be on classic cocktails, prepared with precision, served in the right vessels for ultimate presentation. Whether you’re craving a traditional martini or maybe something a bit more adventurous, you’ll probably find just what you’re looking for at The Kid!

What About the Brews?

For those who love a good beer, The Kid will feature only five beer taps. Although the exact selections are still under wraps, it’s sure to include some fantastic brews that will satisfy your thirst without taking over the cocktail experience. Plus, with nearby local breweries like Eureka Heights, Great Heights, and Brash in the area, you won’t be short on beer options!

Delicious Eats from Rodeo Goat

The Kid won’t just be about the drinks, though. A food menu featuring the acclaimed burgers from Rodeo Goat will be available, touted as “the best burger in the city” by Hanrahan himself. So you can sip on those cocktails while indulging in some mouth-watering bites that are bound to make your experience even better!

Adding to the Culinary Scene

And that’s not all happening in the neighborhood! A brand-new Shake Shack is also gearing up to open on March 19 in Town & Country Village. This new Shack is joining a lineup of tasty newcomers, and we’re all for the upgrades to the restaurant scene in the area!

Shake Shack is famous for its delicious burgers, like the iconic Shack Burger with a griddled cheeseburger topped with ShackSauce and fresh veggies (yum!). They’re also known for their chicken sandwiches and a variety of vegetarian options. To kick off their grand opening, the first customers will receive free tote bags, and for every sandwich sold, $1 will be donated to the United Way of Greater Houston. Talk about a tasty way to give back!

Wrapping It Up

With exciting additions like The Kid and Shake Shack, Houston’s food and drink scene is really flourishing! So, if you’re around the area, mark your calendars and get ready to dive into some delightful drinks, scrumptious burgers, and a warm and friendly atmosphere. Cheers to new beginnings in our vibrant city!
