UB Preserv’s New Late-Night Menu Helps Things Feel a Little More Normal

UB Preserv’s New Late-Night Menu Helps Things Feel a Little More Normal

Those with late-night cravings — or restaurant and frontline workers searching for a post-shift bite — have had trouble figuring out where to go and what to eat throughout the pandemic. Finding non-fast-food options after 10pm has been a struggle, but UB Preserv’s newest initiative aims to change that. UBP After Dark, which takes place on Thursdays from 10pm-1am, features a delicious menu, cocktails, fun music and both indoor and outdoor seating.

Beginning tomorrow, score specials like Korean fried ribs or an A-1-drenched Thicc n’ Hearty burger (stacked with bacon and fried onions!). Fancy something (a little) lighter? There’s also the Al Pastor mushroom quesadilla, or pretzel bread with pimento cheese. And everything tastes better washed down with a bev like the Spooky Juice (frozen midori, rum, coconut and pineapple). The aptly named Post Shift special is a Karbach Horseshoe pilsner and a shot for just $10.

The restaurant is currently accepting reservations for UBP After Dark.

Leadership in Action: Entrepreneur Saba Syed of Moroccan Bath Determined to Build ‘Lasting Legacy’

Saba Syed, Founder of Oasis Moroccan Bath

How did you get to where you are today? My journey began with a need to be financially independent and an even a deeper drive to create a lasting legacy. The centuries-old Hammam tradition has always fascinated me—not just for its relaxation benefits, but for its holistic approach to cleansing the body, mind, and soul. So, combining my passion with a vision to bring an authentic yet luxurious Hammam spa experience to Houston, I took the leap less than two years ago to open my own spa.

With New Concept Album, Jacob Hilton Processes Mental-Health Struggles

Dakota Garrett

Jacob Hilton, a.k.a. Travid Halton, at home in his kitchen, where he enjoys cooking as a form of therapy.

PINK FLOYD'S THE Wall. Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours. Beyonce’s Lemonade. Three divergent examples of the album as a cathartic, psychological, conceptual work, meant to be experienced in a single sitting. Houston singer-songwriter Jacob Hilton, 37, who records as Travid Halton, a portmanteau of his mother and father’s names, might balk at being mentioned in such company. (This is a thoroughly unpretentious man, who describes himself as an “archaeologist turned singer-songwriter.”)
