Just within the past few days, we’ve gained two new additions to Houston’s bustling craft brewery scene, Local Group and Urban South – HTX. To boot (sorry, I may have rodeo on my mind), they are located in two of my favorite neighborhoods, the Near Northside and Arts District Houston, respectively. If you are a fan of craft beer and good food, I would highly recommend adding these to your list of new places to visit!

Local Group

  • Opened on February 28
  • Located at 1504 Chapman St. 77009 next to the future Hardy Yards development
  • Opening with 4 small-batch craft beers on tap and a full menu of elevated American comfort food with a focus on quality. Additionally, they will have cold-brew coffee, wine, cider and sodas with new brews rolling out in the coming weeks.
  • The brewery will feature a dog friendly patio with a great view of Downtown Houston. It will also have a walk up window for easy service to the patio.

Urban South – HTX

  • Opened on February 29
  • Located at 1201 Oliver St. 77007 in Sawyer Yards
  • This is an R&D brewery and Taproom for Urban South Brewery in New Orleans, Louisiana. The HTX location is going to “focus on pushing the boundaries of American beer.”

Born, raised, and now biking in Houston! Catherine proudly attended the High School for Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA) before heading off to the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland. Houston has always been home though, so she moved back here after college and started working on building relationships, a career in real estate, and continuing to create art. Catherine’s artistic background and exacting eye as a designer help her as a realtor in everything from marketing to staging to inspection. Catherine is an avid cyclist (who's proudly completed the MS 150!) and it's been a pleasure to watch the bike movement in Houston evolve through the years. Of course growing up in urban Houston means keeping a finger on the pulse of Houston's burgeoning urban lifestyle, so if you ever need help finding a bar, B-Cycle Station, brewery, or bite to eat, don't hesitate to ask Catherine!
