If you’re a fan of The Pour House in downtown Fort Worth, better enjoy it while you can - the Star-Telegram is reporting that the long-running bar will be closing December 31st.
The 13-year-old Pour House, a well-worn second-story space that Eric Tschetter transformed into a downtown institution some called Fort Worth’s own Cheers, will close Dec. 31 after fighting lawsuits over nearly four years with two successive landlords.
Tschetter said Wednesday that he and the latest owner, XTO Energy, agreed to withdraw their respective suits this summer.
XTO bought the building a while ago, and the primary ground-floor tenant - Mikado Sushi - has been shuttered for some time. I’m not sure what XTO intends to do with the building in the immediate future. I know from various sources that the energy company has a plan drawn up to demolish the Pour House building and the (ghastly) 600 Houston Mall (aka parking garage) and build a new office building that wraps around the historic Petroleum Building occupying the southwest corner of the block, but I don’t expect to be seeing that happening any time soon.
