The History
BEHIND CHIC ANTIQUE
Chic Antique was inspired by Market Square’s fusion of unique historic architectural elements with a stylish modern edge. It is our signature blend of complementary yet unexpected pairings, like timeless interior spaces that feature vintage swagger and contemporary flair, and precision cuisine with sophisticated plating served in a casual setting. We’re lively yet relaxed — guests can dress up or dress down. Established in 2008 with the original Hearsay, Chic Antique has become the embodiment of our brand’s unique charm and elegance.
Exotic Spirits
THAT SATISFY
Hearsay’s bar program channels the allure of a vintage speakeasy, elevating it with Prohibition-inspired cocktails designed by our expert team. Each drink balances character and creativity, offering a spectrum of flavors that appeal to both adventurous explorers and classic purists.
Behind the bar, fresh ingredients and house-made infusions set the stage for a collection that shines with rare finds and prestige labels alike, including Macallan Rare Cask, 1792, and the legendary Pappy Van Winkle.
Culinary
EXCELLENCE
Our chefs source high-end products like Wagyu beef and use fresh, local ingredients to create flavorful dishes with sophisticated plating. At Hearsay, you can expect all the classic elements of fine dining, but in a laid-back, casual atmosphere. We consistently provide our patrons with exotic and enticing dishes they can’t find elsewhere. Come and experience culinary excellence that blends tradition with innovation.

Historic
MARKET SQUARE
WHERE HISTORY MEETS MODERN INDULGENCEThe building was given new life in 1994 when it was purchased by Houston artist and architect Lee Benner. Known for his unique merging of modern eclectic designs and folk genre with local history, Benner applied his signature style to the new design of the building, including the iron and brass staircase and railing, along with whimsical artistic elements throughout.
