In like Eight Row Flint

Eight Row Flint is described as an ice house that serves whiskey, beer and tacos. Customers are constantly asking co-owners Morgan Weber and Ryan Pera what the name means, which they reveal on FOX 26 Morning News. Located in a former Citgo fuel station in the Houston Heights, the cocktails and food there are getting rave reviews from critics and diners alike. Weber demonstrates some of his cocktails and culinary director Vincent Huynh shares his food ideas with us.
