As for the food menu, Ly said it changes pretty often, making it hard to put the restaurant under one label. Menu items in February included a take on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich made with foie gras. The restaurant gets its groceries from local farmers markets, and the menu changes to t what is in season. Chef Je Potts also likes to keep the menu changing, Ly said. “Sometimes we get bored cooking the same things,” Ly said. “So, we all brainstorm in the back like, ‘This is it, this is fresh. What do we want to do with this?’ Then we’ll come up with something and just run o with that.” Ly rst planned to only serve beer and wine, but later decided to add cocktails. Like Potts, Bar Manager Tim Vaughan also likes to experiment, changing up the menu around once a month. In the future Ly said he hopes he can pursue other projects, but for now, he said he is focused on the success of 93’ Til. “I want [Houstonians] to know that they’re always welcome here,” Ly said. “Come have a good time. Relax, listen to some music.”
always had a goal of opening his own place. After traveling to Tokyo in 2018, Ly said he visited some of the city’s abundance of record bars—venues where people gather to drink while also relaxing to music played on vinyl. The experience, he said, inspired him to open his own. Ly would eventually open 93’ Til in December 2020, naming it after the Souls of Mischief song, “93 ‘til In nity.” Today, he said the Montrose location is exactly what he wanted. “I think the people in the neighborhood appre- ciate what we do,” said Ly, who moved back to Houston to launch the venture after spending 11 years living in other cities. The record bar and lounge plays a little bit of everything, welcoming fans from all genres of music, from hip-hop to rock to soul. On “takeover night,” Ly said he allows customers to bring in their own records to play. He said he also hopes to soon get a DJ that plays exclusively vinyl.
Owner Lung Ly opened 93’ Til after visiting similar concepts in Tokyo.
