The Marquis II on Bissonnet is currently closed and undergoing renovations, but is expected to reopen by early July.
The City of West U approved a permit for a remodel of the interior in April.
Some of the improvements to the building include a new bar area, ADA compliant restrooms and new windows.
Floor plans on file with the city indicate that the new bar will be built in the center of the building and the restrooms will be installed in a corner area of the facility.
The estimated cost of the remodeling project is $80,000.
According to the Marquis II’s Facebook page, the business is hoping to reopen on June 30, but a July 7 opening is more likely.
Excellent! Thanks for the update Sara
This is great news. Haven’t been there since New Years Day. What a good time that day.
Will it now be called Marquis III?
I think the Marquis building was once a donut shop. In 1960, February 12 or so, Houston had a big snow and my husband and I stopped there to warm up. It was like a restaurant, but I only remember donuts. Another long-time resident might be able to confirm this.
What an eye sore. This place should be leveled.
