Within The Den, the exclusive Cigar Lounge, guests will find a refined and welcoming ambiance. This space is designed for cigar enthusiasts to savor their favorite cigars, connect with other aficionados, and relax away the stresses of the day.

Quad Houston is the brainchild of Michael Brockers and Diahron Myers, from On Lock Investments. Brockers, a defensive end for the NFL’s Detroit Lions, partnered with Myers, a 20-year hospitality veteran and legendary high school football coach, to bring more business opportunities to the Third Ward community. The pair embody a pay-it-forward culture with a vision to establish Quad Houston as a community staple that contributes to the growth of the Houston restaurant industry.

Justin Cobb-Bell, the new venue’s Co-CEO and third partner in On Lock Investments, will focus his attention on The DEN Cigar Lounge. The Chicago native has a passion for bringing premium cigars and elevated experiences together.

Time limits at restaurants? Some are trying it after guests stay too long

Some restaurants are enforcing time limits as guests are staying a very long time. Restaurant owners say that's affecting their bottom line.

Quad Houston will also feature live entertainment, trivia nights, and multiple spaces with a vibe that caters to a variety of tastes. The restaurant and sports lounge will have soft opening hours in the coming weeks, leading up to an exciting Grand Opening weekend celebration from July 20-23.
