New Irish Pub Jack & Ginger’s Opens First Houston Location This Week - Eater Houston

"After its opening was pushed back due to as-yet-unnamed delays, the Houston outpost of Jack & Ginger’s is set to arrive at 2416 Brazos Street in Midtown, joining the original Jack & Ginger’s that opened in Austin in 2015. A project of Union Venture Group, the bar will be a destination for beer — more than 82 different brews will be on offer — and traditional pub grub. When it debuts, diners can look forward to dishes like Guinness-battered fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, and potato skins. The Houston location will also serve an “Irish-style” burger topped with Irish cheddar and crispy potatoes, along with avocado hummus. On Sundays, a brunch buffet will take over the restaurant, and early-morning boozers will be able to build their own Irish coffees and Bloody Marys, then pair those drinks with dishes like maple-butter biscuit sandwiches and a BLT sandwiched between two cheesy waffles." - Amy McCarthy
