Montrose café and bar going up in former Etro space
I was hoping for laid back bar where I could order a cheap beer or a wine for my date. I suppose this will do.

The former Etro Lounge nightclub in Montrose that closed last year and moved to new digs downtown will be home to a new all-day concept that will offer coffee, wine and a menu from a James Beard Award-winning chef.
Details for Penny Quarter – a Montrose Café & Bar were announced Tuesday, a project expected to open in early June from a team that includes the principals of Better Luck Tomorrow and the upcoming Squable in the Heights.
Situated just behind Anvil at 1424 Westheimer, Penny Quarter will be a two-level space inspired by Montrose's café and bar culture, serving high quality coffee, wine and a simple menu from morning to night.
The café and bar's wine list will feature about 100 options, in addition to a beer list and a small selection of spirits (no cocktails). The coffee program will draw from the best coffee available from roasters both local and national.
For the food menu, Yu will offer a morning menu of 10 to 12 dishes such as pistachio butter and burnt honey toast, spicy fried egg and bacon sandwich, and rice bowl with sausage and salsa verde. An evening menu of eight to 10 dishes might feature light snacks, salads and more substantial dinner options such as crispy grilled cheese and Yu's take on chicken and rice.
