ABOUT US

Crafted with Care, Designed for Connection.

Founded by Houston locals Carly and John Whitehurst, The Board Room is more than a wine bar—it’s a neighborhood gathering space where great food, beautiful design, and meaningful experiences come together. Nestled in CITYCENTRE, The Board Room blends casual elegance with curated flavor in a space built for both connection and comfort.

“We wanted to create a lifestyle destination that’s as flexible as it is thoughtful—a go-to for busy professionals, social gatherings, and everyday indulgence.”

At The Board Room, we believe great taste goes beyond the plate. That’s why we proudly partner with local makers who bring heart and craft to everything they do. From gourmet bites to florals and art, our shelves and boards highlight the best of Houston’s small business community.
