Texas alcohol license recorded for Lincoln Bar Midtown on Gray Street
Rule Changes Houston, TX localA Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission mixed-beverage license lists 217 W Gray, LLC at 217 Gray Street; the record does not show whether the bar is open.
Overview
On November 10, 2026, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) recorded a mixed-beverage license for 217 W Gray, LLC at 217 Gray Street in Houston. The record names Lincoln Bar Midtown, but a license filing alone does not show that the business has every approval it needs or that it is serving customers.
That distinction matters because a TABC entry is an administrative record, not an opening announcement. It leaves open whether the address will host a new bar, an existing business under a new license, or no active operation at all.
Why it matters
A state alcohol license puts a bar name and address on the public record, but it cannot confirm the venue is serving.
