June is Pride Month. What does pride mean to you? Is it a rainbow flag billowing on a street corner? Is it a community where everyone respects each other’s differences? Or is it a country where everyone has equal rights, despite their gender or sexual orientation?

The food and beverage industry has undergone serious shifts over the last several years. Specifically, bars and establishments focused on beer have taken hits as consumer habits changed and investors chased new trends like experience-based entertainment venues and so-called "third spaces". In other words, it's been hard for small, neighborhood watering holes and hangouts to stay alive.

Star Sailor was recognized for its commitment to creating a welcoming environment for everyone..

Amid all the economic struggles surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, a new taproom and restaurant is serving guests in the Greater Heights Area. Star Sailor HTX has been open since Dec. 5 but will host a grand opening event on Dec. 19.

LOOKING FOR A SPOT TO DO A LITTLE WORK, sip a local craft beer, eat a light lunch, and buy some handmade products on the way out? Star Sailor HTX, an all-in-one casual food-and-drink concept, is open and ready for you.

A long career in the hospitality industry has given Marin Slanina a breadth of knowledge on how to create the concept she’s envisioned for years. And last Saturday, Star Sailor, a one-stop shop for craft beer, wine, foods and retail products, had a soft opening at 1710 W. 18th St. Beginning this week, it will be open Thursday through Saturday, with a grand opening celebration on Dec. 19.

National Hamburger Day kicks off the summer grilling season, so at the end of this month, up-and-coming smash burger pop-up Novi Burger is teaming up with craft beer and wine boutique Star Sailor, located at 1710 West 18th in the Lazybrook neighborhood. The event — held the day before National Hamburger Day on Saturday, May 27 from 3 to 8 p.m. celebrates with a special menu featuring new items from both teams.

According to the Houston Chronicle, H-Town is known as one of the best food cities in the U.S., so it's no surprise there are hundreds of places to grab a delicious burger. And while you could just as easily fire up the grill and make your own at home, there's something special about eating one from a restaurant. The quality of the beef you get combined with the establishment's house-made sauce, seasoning mix, or pickles just really makes it so much better, despite the cost and the time you take to drive there.
