Word from the man himself, Mike Martensen, is that The Establishment — the long-awaited, long-delayed, reservations-driven cocktail lounge in Knox-Henderson — is finally up and running.

Located at 4513 Travis Street, the ambitious, three-pronged magnum tipplus from Martensen and Brian Williams — the brains behind The Cedars Social south of downtown — will eventually feature an oyster bar along with its vinyl music tracks in the space once occupied by Trece.

Get over there and let me know what you think!
