This Just In: Magnolia Bar & Grill Shuttering

By Mary Jane on Jun 28, 2010

magnoliagrill.jpg Houstonist received the bad word this weekend: Magnolia Bar & Grill will close it's doors Wednesday. We went by last night for dinner, to have a last cup of gumbo and some of the city's best seafood. We understand that escalating rent, a decrease in business (due to our nationwide economic woes, probably) and the "little" moratorium on fishing, shrimping and oyster harvesting off the coast are all to blame.

While we have not heard of any plans to reopen in another location at a future date, we do have our fingers crossed that they find a new place to hang the oyster plate collection. Don't miss your opportunity to have one last meal with them. Also, please be patient as they close in a couple of days and may run out of some things (like some of the wine selections and the Opelousas Duck). We find this perfectly acceptable, after all, why order a mess of inventory when you are shutting? Makes no sense. To the fine folks at the Magnolia - we hate to see you go and we hope you come back soon now, y'hear?
