Tennessee-Style Barbecue and Axe Throwing Will Soon Arrive at Sawyer Yards

When “creative arts community” Sawyer Yards makes its debut in fall 2019, diners will be able to score everything from Houston-made cider to Tennessee-style barbecue.

Days after Eater reported that New Orleans’s Urban South Brewery would open a “satellite” location at Sawyer Yards, the developers behind the project that will take over an abandoned warehouse at 1201 Oliver Street have announced that a second outpost of Houston’s own Fainmous Barbecue will debut this fall. For those unfamiliar with the Houston-born barbecue restaurant, it’s known for its Memphis-style ribs, smoked chicken, and rib tip sandwiches.

In exciting news for axe-throwing enthusiasts, Sawyer Yards will house the first Houston outpost of Urban Axes, a growing Austin chain that will take over 13,000 square feet of space in which people can throw axes, according to a press release. Also opening at Sawyer Yards alongside Fainmous Barbecue and Urban South Brewery is City Orchard, a cidery that will produce crisp sips from apples sourced from the Great Lakes region.

These new additions join Irish restaurant Poitin at Sawyer Yards, along with a forthcoming virtual golf bar called Loft18 that’s set to arrive this summer and the first permanent location of “allergy-friendly” bakery Awesome Bites Co.

Expect these new hotspots to land at Sawyer Yards sometime in Fall 2019. Stay tuned for an official opening date.
