Friday, 3rd of July 2009 at 01:45:26 PMWe’re looking for a new venue for the Startup Houston Happy Hour held every first Thursday of the month from 6pm – 8pm.
The venue should be easily accessible to most people – even the Katy-Sugarland-Woodlands-Clear Lake area folks. In the past we’ve held it at Sonoma Wine Bar, the Tasting Room on Alabama and most recently at Saute Bistro.
Ideally, we would like lots of cheap or free parking, drink specials ($2-3 beer, $5-6 wine sounds about right) and plenty of space for 100 or so startup entrepreneurs and the people who love them to chat in an open, comfortable environment. We’re not looking for ’scenesters’ or blaring music of one kind or another, just a place that startup people can talk shop with a little social lubrication.
We have to pick a place before the next one rolls around on August 6th.
Here are a few suggestions – leave any you can think of in the comments and we’ll add them to the poll.

I like the options but thought I’d throw another one on the west side, Rattan (http://rattanbistro.com). Good drink specials and it’s quiet.
IGDA (Independent Game Developers Association) has been using the Saucer – Downtown. They have an upstairs area which can be reserved. Parking isn’t too difficult…
I spoke with the Berryhill on Post Oak and they want to host. Plenty of free parking, $2.50 drafts, $3 bottles, and they said they would give the event $3 margaritas as well. They have $2 taste teasers as well. Contact BerryhillLOVE on twitter for more info. http://www.twitter.com/berryhilllove
Let’s try Tinto’s. Tapas. Good wine bargains. Easily accessible from Memorial and Allen Parkway, it is behind the River Oaks Plaza on West Gray.
Let me know when you got it figured out so we can come by. Good luck see ya soon!
