CecilsPub Houston

Join us tonight for some live music. Also, our final pool tournament at 600 will be tonight. Sign in at 8pm.

Thank you Houston!

5 days left…join us tonight. Word on the street is there will be a surprise bartender behind the bar helping Jay.

Thank you Montrose!

Holly Whitaker…one of the coolest peeps on Earth. Her playlists are stellar. Come by the pub tonight, listen to great music, and have some drinks.

Thank you Holly!

Jay Malone-Stein, the king of flannel, has worked behind the bar at Cecil’s since New Year’s Eve 1994. There is no Cecil’s without Jay. As we count down our final days at 600 W Gray, come in tonight and chill with Jay. Hell, let’s pretend it’s New Year’s Eve and celebrate Jay being here 30 years.

Thank you Jay!

A lot of people have expressed concern for Frida, and we greatly appreciate that. Frida is part of our family. She will be moving into a great and safe home with Jay. Frida and Jay have a special bond with each other. She will hang with us a little longer before moving to her new home.

We are reaching out to everyone today with hard hitting news. The landlord of our property has decided to sell and the incoming landlord has elected not to sign a lease with Cecil’s. So we have to announce that after over 34 unforgettable years, Cecil’s will be closing its doors at 600 W Gray tentatively on November 10, 2024.

For decades, Cecil’s has been more than just a bar—it’s been a second home. A place where strangers walked in but left as lifelong friends, where laughter echoed through the walls and stories were shared over countless rounds. From birthday toasts, to first dates, to celebrations of life, to spontaneous nights that turned into unforgettable moments, Cecil’s has been at the heart of so many cherished memories.

Sadly, Cecil’s faces an uncertain future. Though we don’t know what lies ahead, we’ll always hold onto the memories that made this place more than just a neighborhood pub—it made it a Houston institution. While we’re still considering the next steps, we’ll keep our Cecil’s family informed as we navigate this transition.

Until we say our final goodbyes, we invite you to come by for one last drink, reminisce about the good times, and share your favorite stories with us. Let’s celebrate everything Cecil’s has meant to us all.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

Trust your intuition and have faith in your journey.

This weekend everyone is Irish. ☘️

Cecil’s Pub will be closed next Saturday afternoon for the Celebration of Life of Jim Herd, one of our beloved owners who recently passed. The pub will officially open at 7pm, but if you knew Jim and wish to join us to share stories, the event starts at 3pm. We ask all to respect this Celebration of Life, and if joining, please bring your Sarcastic ‘A’ game. Jim Herd was a truly great person and his influence can be felt all over Houston through his work in Design and Build. He loved Cecil’s Pub and took great joy meeting with patrons at the end of his work day in the side office within Cecil’s.

Food will be provided by one of his favorite Houston establishments (while it lasts)

We miss you Jim!

This week we lost one of our beloved owners. Jim Herd was a force. He loved Cecil’s, he loved his craft, which was designing and building Houston’s finest bars, restaurants, homes, offices, etc. When in need, he would help. Sometimes that help came in the form of sarcasm just to make you laugh and help you deal with the issue at the moment. His intelligence was unequivocal. His charisma was unbelievable. He will be missed. He will never be forgotten.

We will be hosting a Celebration of Life soon. Details to come. We love you boss Jim.

Thank you , Collaborative Projects Construction, and most importantly our patrons

Gotta take advantage of this weather while we have it, amiright? ☀️

May you always have a clean shirt, a clear conscience, and enough coins in your pocket to buy a pint! Sláinte! ☘️

Éire go Brách 🍀 🍻 Join us tomorrow!

Happy Sunday! Doors open at 3:00 🍻

See you there! 🇮🇪

I’m feeling lucky.

All the good luck will be at Cecil’s this Saturday. Irish dancers @ 5PM 🍻 ☘️
