HOUSTON – The Tasting Room’s original Uptown Park will close their doors on Saturday, becoming yet another restaurant shutting down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Owner Jerry Lasco said in an email to employees Tuesday that failed rent negotiations and limited revenue are reasons for the shutdown. “In the wake of the pandemic, although we have tried many scenarios, it has not been possible to keep the space running at limited capacity,” said Lasco. The restaurant’s original location opened in 2013 and has provided more than 2,000 meals to hospitality workers impacted by the pandemic, Eater Houston reported. Lasco’s other concept, Max’s Wine Dive and The Tasting Room at CityCentre near Beltway 8 and I-10 will remain open.

Popular eatery The Rustic plans to hire 250 workers at their new location in Uptown Park. Most positions require a food handlers and a TABC certification upon hire. The restaurant, which serves locally-sourced dishes and drinks, is hiring all positions such as bartenders, hosts/servers, and runners. According to owner Kyle Noonan, the restaurant has a tentative opening in late Spring, provided that all city and state ordinances are lifted after the coronavirus pandemic. Noonan hopes to bring those selected candidates “some much-needed work” as soon as the ordinance is lifted in Houston.
