New month on the schedule. New thoughts on the flat top.

October's feature, every Friday this month: the Mushroom Swiss Burger. A quarter-pound patty stacked with shiitake mushrooms, grilled onions, bacon, Swiss, and roasted garlic mayo on a toasted brioche bun. Fall food for people who don't do pumpkin spice.

This Friday only: the Jerk Chicken Dog, topped with roasted pineapple relish, mayo, and house-made mango habanero sauce. Sweet on the front end. Heat on the back.

Barbacoa, but make it a boudin.

Friday only: the Barbacoa Boudin, made just for us by our friends at The Chopping Block Webster — old-world butchers doing new-world damage. Inside the casing it's smoked beef cheeks, rice, roasted poblanos, onions, and cheddar. We top it with grilled onions, jalapeños, Cotija, red sauce, and cilantro.

If you think that sounds delicious, you're right.

Last call for the Chopped Cheese: this is the final Friday for September's sando. Sazon beef, poblanos, and onions off the flat top, cheddar and American melted in, on a buttered hoagie with the works.

Still enormous. Still selling out early.

Trivia's still on hiatus, but the Tuesday specials are still showing up. 😌

Every Tuesday starting at 6pm, the Moontower Platter is 20% off and pitchers of Saint Arnold Fancy Lawnmower are $12. Dine-in only.

The platter, for the uninitiated: your pick of wild game dogs (2 for the small, 4 for the large), sliced and served with house chipotle pimento, pickled onions and jalapeños, Creole mustard, and Vaquero BBQ. Small feeds 1 to 3, large feeds 4 to 6, and either one feeds the crew.

Tuesdays at Moon Tower: bring people, save money.

Thank you for sixteen years and for always showing up like you mean it. Regular menu's back, the patio's open, and year seventeen starts now.

Happy birthday to us. 🎉

16 years of hot eats, cold drinks, loud shows, and a patio that's seen some things. Thank you for every Mug Monday, every glizzy guzzled, every night you picked this patio over everywhere else 🫶

Today: Philly from 11am. $4 TX b**rs open to close. Vendor market at 5. Ringo Deathstarr is here with Fawn opening the show at 8pm. Anniversary merch at the register while it lasts.

Real talk on the road: Canal is torn up in front of us, so your best parking spot is your own driveway — rideshare in if you can. Driving anyway? Check the map in our last post and park down Commerce or the side streets.

The vendor market lineup:
Value Vintage — band tees & artist merch
Deluxe Emporium — pins, jewelry & clothing
Envwares — handmade leather goods & modified jackets
Outcast Armory — punk accessories & clothing
Bleached Buffalo Trading Post — Native American craftwork
J & C Stitch — clothing, collectibles & music
— glass pendants, pipes & marbles
R & D Vintage and Collectibles — clothing, shoes & collectibles

Get a ride, hydrate responsibly, see y'all soon.

Sixteen tomorrow 🤘🎂

But first, the road talk.

Canal is torn up right in front of us — cones, closed lanes, the works.

Honestly, the best parking spot is your own driveway: leave the car there and rideshare in.

Driving anyway? Swipe to the map.
Park down Commerce Street or on the side streets off Canal, and give yourself a few extra minutes to walk up.

The rundown: the Philly un-retires at 11am for one day only. Happy hour sticks around all day, so it's $4 TX b**rs open to close. Vendor market rolls up at 5, Ringo Deathstarr and Fawn get loud starting at 8pm, and anniversary merch lives at the register for as long as it lasts, which won't be long.

The kitchen's running a limited menu so they make it to year seventeen.

See y'all tomorrow.

Sixteen years deserves its own mug 🍺

The anniversary mug hits the shelf Saturday 9/19 in a very limited run. Buy it once and it starts paying you back: bring it in on Mug Mondays for $5 fills on any pint pour, and any other day it's just a buck over menu price to get your b**r in the big mug.

Bar only, mug required, math strongly in your favor.

The anniversary shirt drops the same day. Its perk is looking cool. 😉

First come, first merched.

One more thing before y’all head over: Canal Street is under construction directly in front of Moon Tower, so getting here and parking is a little wonky right now.

Save yourself the headache and rideshare if you can. If you’re driving, swipe for the parking map and look for spots along Commerce or the side streets off Canal.

Plan on a short walk and a few extra minutes.

Intrusive Thoughts got a little unhinged this week 👀

Friday only: a glizzy ode to the mighty BCR (that's Bacon Chicken Ranch, for all y'all fancy folks). Featuring a ranch seasoned smoked chicken glizzy, with bacon and cheddar topped with Shredded cheddar, red onion, lettuce, tomato, and creamy dill sauce.

The September regular: the Chopped Cheese. Sazon seasoned ground beef chopped on the flat top with onions and poblanos, sharp white cheddar and American melted straight in, piled on a buttered hoagie with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and black pepper ketchup. Two Fridays left. Don't be the person who missed it.

And yes, Saturday is the Sweet 16. Consider Friday your warm-up lap 🎂

11am till sellout.

This glizzy identifies as a taco 🌮

Intrusive Thoughts are back, and this week we took everything we love about a carnitas taco and rebuilt it in glizzy form.

One Friday only: the Carnitas Dog a 1/2lb Smoked Boudin stuffed w/ spicy pork carnitas and cilantro lime rice, stuffed and ready. Then it gets topped: roasted corn salsa with red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime, plus Cotija, mayo, and green sauce.

A whole taco truck in one bite.

Friendly reminder: the Chopped Cheese still runs every Friday this month.

Sazon seasoned ground beef chopped on the flat top with onions and poblano peppers, sharp white cheddar and American cheese melted straight into the mix, then piled on a buttered hoagie with shredded lettuce, tomato, mayo, and black pepper ketchup.

Still enormous. Still selling out early.

Our Sweet 16 is in two weeks and yes, you're all invited.
No gifts necessary, just come thirsty.

We're keeping the regular menu limited that day, but the Philly is BACK for one day only starting at 11am. And since it's our birthday, happy hour runs all day: sip $4 TX b**rs from open to close.

Vendor market kicks off at 5 and Ringo Deathstarr and company get loud at 7:30.

And you know we'll have limited anniversary merch. Keep your eyes peeled for teaser pics coming soon.

09/04/2026

Big bodega energy on the patio today and every Friday this month.

There is no elegant way to eat a chopped cheese, and that's the point. Sazon seasoned ground beef, poblano peppers and onions beaten into submission on a flat top, sharp white cheddar and American cheese folded in for good measure, and the whole affair loaded onto a toasted hero with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and black pepper ketchup that are all doing their best under the circumstances.

It weighs about as much as a chihuahua, has zero structural integrity, and will probably sell out immediately. Please don't go scorched earth on our Google reviews if you miss it. You've got three more Fridays to try.

See y'all at 11am.

September's Intrusive Thoughts just clocked in.

Introducing the newest Intrusive Thoughts sando for September: the Chopped Cheese. Sazon seasoned ground beef chopped on the flat top with onions and poblano peppers, sharp white cheddar and American cheese melted straight into the mix, then piled on a buttered hoagie with shredded lettuce, tomato, mayo, and black pepper ketchup. Chopped, screwed, smothered, and stacked. Insanely good and unreasonably large.

Also on shift: the Jalapeño Cheddar Dog. Sharp cheddar, caramelized onions, roasted jalapeño coleslaw, and a drizzle of Carolina Gold BBQ. Don't get attached. This one's Friday only.

11am till sellout.

Say hola to the Chingazo 👊

A chicken sando baddie with jalapeños coming at you three different ways 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Grilled chicken breast, bacon, cheddar, BNB jalapeños, pickled onions, roasted jalapeño cole slaw, crispy fried onions, and house-made Vaquero Sauce on a brioche bun.

No mercy. No refunds.

08/27/2026

There's a pound of pork on this plate. The salad is doing its best.

Chop Night returns Thursday at 7pm: charred bone-in pork ribeye over yellow curried sweet potatoes, with rocket, julienned onion, cherry tomato, Cotija, and house-made MTI honey mustard vinaigrette. $22 and smoky as hell.

First come, first chopped.

You can just about count the Houston breweries that've made it to 10 on one hand. Our friends at Eureka Heights just joined the club, and the party's at our place.

September 2nd at 6pm, Eureka Heights takes over a stretch of our taps with the four OG b**rs that started it all: Space Train, Mostly Harmless, Wicket Awesome, and Moo Caliente, plus a few more where those came from. Come drink a birthday b**r and toast ten years.

No cover, no tickets, just show up thirsty.

When bonito flakes wave at you, wave back.

Intrusive Thoughts is running it back with the exceptionally friendly pineapple teriyaki glizzy. Made by our friends at The Chopping Block, decked out with red onion, jalps, bacon, bonito flakes, and mayo. Sweet, smoky, and spicy, all riding on the back of a pork pineapple teriyaki sausage.

Meanwhile the Jerk Chicken Banh Mi is still pulling Friday shifts: 48-hour marinated jerk thigh, ginger peach jam, the pickled carrot/cucumber/daikon situation, and mayo keeping the peace.

They say the best way to beat the heat is spicy food and copious amounts of cold b**r. Lucky for you, we got both.

Tonight: live music on the patio and it costs you nothing.

Your friendly neighborhood Moon Tower believes you, too, deserve free live music.

Midnight Papers, haha Laughing, and Soft Palms take over starting at 7:30. Free show, cold b**r, hot glizzys — the whole equation just works.

No tickets, no cover, no reason to say no.

Friday’s Intrusive Thoughts are looking real dangerous in a lunch-break kind of way.

The Jerk Chicken Banh Mi is back with ginger peach jam, 48-hour jerk chicken thigh, fresh pickled carrots, cucumbers, and daikon, chopped jalapeños, and a swirl of mayo to keep things cool and creamy.

And because she needs a friend, we’re also running an Alligator Crawfish Pork Boudin Glizzy topped with jalapeños, red onion, crispy onions, Creole mustard, and house-made remoulade.

Friday only. 11am till sellout. Come let the intrusive thoughts win.

08/11/2026

Happy hour is for people who deserve a little patio-based recovery.

Slide through from 3–6pm for $4 TX b**rs (Tuesday- Friday) and let the patio do what the patio does. Cold b**r, good food, and zero pressure to be impressive on a weekday.

Come hang, crush a b**r, and make your afternoon less lame.

Clear your next Saturday night. We already found you plans. 🌙

Soft Palms hits the Tower on August 15 with the kind of hazy, floaty psych-pop that makes the patio feel a little more magical. Local band The Midnight Papers will be joining the lineup too, because one good band is nice, but two is better.

No cover, no overthinking, no “what are we doing tonight?” spiral. Just pull up, grab something cold, and let the patio get dreamy for a bit.

Free show. Good b**r. Fun little Saturday incoming.
