Another new restaurant will soon join the the second wave of downtown bar and restaurant development that's already seen promising newcomers like Bovine & Barley, Houston Watch Company and twin bars The Commoner and The Boulevardier.

The Moonshiners Southern Table & Bar will begin its soft opening July 8. The Southern-inspired concept is the the latest offering from the Salt N Pepper Group — the offshoot that some of the partners in Pub Fiction, Celtic Gardens and 3rd Floor created to open Beer Market Co. last year.
