SCENE
EVENT: THE GENERAL PUBLIC VIP PREVIEW NIGHT
WHERE: THE GENERAL PUBLIC

The General Public shook Houston’s
CityCentre with the VIP Preview Night of the
spirited restaurant and bar, complete with
signature cocktails and tastes of the meticulously designed menu. Guests were greeted
with a glass of champagne while they sampled bites from the gourmet cuisine.
Partygoers didn’t leave empty-handed and
were given all the ingredients to create their
very own “Sundown Toast” cocktail, one of
The General Public’s classics.

EVENT: BOWL & BARREL VIP PREVIEW EVENT
WHERE: BOWL & BARREL
Bowl & Barrel made its mark on Houston at the
VIP Preview Night of the upscale bowling alley on
Tuesday, August 2. The founders of FreeRange
Concepts, Josh Septowitz and Kyle Noonan, hosted a night full of unique bites, cocktails and bowling entertainment. As they made their way from
the entrance to the bar or the lanes, guests were
presented with an array of tasty options from Bowl
& Barrel’s handcrafted menu. High-definition TV
screens displayed the Astros game, so
Houstonians could cheer on their hometown baseball team. The comfortable, rustic atmosphere
made for the ideal setting for mingling or friendly
competition between guests.
