Monday 23 May 2011: Prepping for Towel Day at The Hobbit Cafe

mike — Mon, 23 May 2011 16:37:28 +0000

Martin Freeman has been tapped to play Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming movie adaptation of The Hobbit. This brings together three beloved works of geekdom, as Freeman also plays John Watson, M.D., in the BBC’s modern version of the Sherlock story, and he played Arthur Dent in the (somewhat regrettable) movie version of THHGTTG.

Wednesday (25 May) is Towel Day, so come along to celebrate this “elementary” convergence at the Hobbit Cafe, 2243 Richmond Avenue. Even though there will be no Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters on offer, all the froods will be there. See you at 8 PM.

The Texas Beer Festival is happening in Humble, TX on May 7th. There are a number of related events (a pub crawl and a number of beer dinners) happening during the week before and the week after the fest itself. Looks like it will be an interesting time to be in Humble and and the greater Houston-Humble-Tomball-Cut-n-Shoot-Clute Metroplex.

Well, the Oscars are over and there are a few friends of Middle Earth who should be pretty happy right about now. Celebrate (or not) and at least have a nice pint of brew and possibly something to nosh on at The Hobbit Cafe, 2243 Richmond Avenue. See you there around 8 PM.

Wish your buddies from Middle Earth a happy new year, as Afteryule is the first month in the Shire Calendar. Come join the fellowship at 8 PM tonight at 2243 Richmond Avenue, home of possibly the Houston Parking Lot of the Year (2010, Gregorian Calendar). Additionally, a nice small rotating tap list is complemented by a good bottle selection and great food.

Autumn has begun here in the Bayou City, and with it comes temperate weather for outdoor beer drinking. Join us at the Hobbit Cafe, 2243 Richmond Avenue, at 8 PM. And although we plan to sit outside on the deck, keep your hairy hobbit feet covered up. It’s still no shirts, no shoes, no shire.

Monday, 21 June 2010: Midyear’s Day at The Hobbit Cafe

mike — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 13:47:23 +0000

According to some reckonings of the Shire (Hobbit) calendar, today marks the either the first or second day of one of the year’s two most important festivals, Lithe. I’m sure I don’t really know how to celebrate it–except to eat and drink at that most Hobbitish of restaurants, The Hobbit Cafe at 2243 Richmond Avenue. While it’s true that not all who wander are lost, try to be there around 8 PM and let us know if you’re planning on being there so we can reserve the proper table.

Not all those who wander are lostn

Monday, 22 Feb 2010: The Hobbit Cafe

john — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:04:19 +0000

A Return to Middle Earth or at least The Hobbit Cafe, 2243 Richmond Avenue @ 8PM. After our recent trip, that we enjoyed very much, we were impressed by the very nice selection of beer and tasty food.

This goes without saying but please remember to bring cash and be nice to your waitstaff, we are after all treating a smallish restaurant like a pub.

Also please let us know if you’re coming by posting a comment so we can arrange for enough seating.
