Keeping It Chef Driven

BY // 10.12.22

After many fits and starts, the long-awaited Lyric Market food hall is set to open this Thursday, October 13 in Houston’s Theatre District downtown. The food hall was created in conjunction with Hospitality HQ, a consulting and management group.

The fastest-growing food hall management company in the country, Hospitality HQ is led by chef, TV personality and cookbook author Akhtar Nawab. Nawab curated the nine restaurant stalls and the bar that will  operate within the new Houston food hall that occupies an entire city block.

“We are thrilled to announce the opening of this innovative food hall in Downtown Houston,” Nawab says in a statement. “Our number one goal is to provide support for best-in-class restauranteurs and truly invest in the surrounding community.

“We are looking forward to becoming a part of the culturally diverse tapestry that is Houston.”

Situated in the stately Lyric Tower at 411 Smith Street, the 14,000-square-foot Lyric Market sits at the center of a sprawling multi-story space. Outfitted with a 7,500-square-foot deck, communal plaza and street-side terrace, the food hall will also offer 10,000 square feet of space inside dedicated to special events and private dining, as well as a conference center and possible shopping opportunities.
