Recess, a new business coming soon to Houston, will feature supervised kids' play areas on the first floor and a full-service bistro and bar on the second, according to the establishment’s website.

The overview

Located near River Oaks Shopping Center, the space will prioritize both parents and children equally.

The restaurant and bar will overlook the play areas, which the website states will be secured by staff-controlled gates. Additionally, Recess plans to integrate wristbands that track individual children.

“By meeting families where they are, parents have an opportunity to relax or work knowing their children are playing safely,” states a note on the website.

How it works

Recess will have two primary play areas: one supervised by staff and one by parents. Children who are potty-trained will be eligible to play in the staff-supervised area, while younger toddlers and infants will play under parental supervision.

According to the website, access to Recess will require a reservation for families, and the space will be available to rent for events.
