The Union Tavern in Houston was the concept of two friends from
Philadelphia (Philly). Nick was in the waste management business for over
20 years and his high school friend, MoMo, has been a contractor in the
Philly area for many years. They have always enjoyed the local bar, tavern
and pub scene in their Philly neighborhoods. So Why Texas for one of
their own places? Nick and MoMo are dear friends of a local family in
Houston, who already operate several businesses. On a recent visit to
their friends, Nick and MoMo decided to finance a local tavern here. They
wanted the working man to experience a decent place to come for happy
hours and evening activities that had a neighborhood feel. It was important
that the staff be friendly and the beverage pricing be fair for the average
worker. Now, you might not see Nick or MoMo at the place, but they will
be "watching" from Philly to make sure the management is operating the
tavern properly and you're having a good time.
