Looking for a spot to do a little work, sip a local craft beer, eat a light lunch, and buy some handmade products on the way out? Star Sailor HTX, an all-in-one casual food-and-drink concept, is open and ready for you.
Star Sailor, located at 1710 W 18th St on the edge of Lazybrook and Greater Heights, opened more than a week ago and is hosting its grand opening December 19. It's the brainchild of Marin Slanina, who has spent her career in the hospitality industry, most recently at local brewery taprooms like Urban South HTX and B-52 Brewery.
Her last gig was running the floor at Urban South, where her husband, Justin, works as head brewer, but Covid-19 changed her direction. Without a taproom to manage, Slanina decided it was time to set out with her own concept. Star Sailor, she says, is the combination of all of her passions, perfectly aligned for a time when she feels people are craving a small and safe space to see people and hang out.
