"Houston’s O.G. food hall Conservatory Hall just flipped into a new venue called Underground Hall (1010 Prairie S Road), reports Houstonia Mag. The subterranean replacement comes from hospitality pro Daut Elshani, who recently helped open the new Buffalo Bayou Brewing Co. facility. To make the basement space more welcoming, he tells the pub he’s working on a bright refresh, as well as improving the main bar and plumbing. The opening vendor list currently includes American-Italian gastropub Crisp, which currently has a location in the Heights. Underground Hall’s retooled bar, dubbed Beer Market, will be outfitted with 30 taps showing love for local makers and popular pours from Louisiana. Underbar, tucked under the stairs, will serve wine and cocktails. He’s still working on filling out the food hall with tenants, hoping to announce a smorgasbord of new offerings by late February. The original Conservatory is “repositioning” in a new space." - Tierney Plumb
