Better Now: Post Malone Leaves $20,000 Tip During Houston Visit

The tip and, at right, Renee Brown and Post Malone

ON CHRISTMAS EVE, Post Malone and Shaboozey hung out at neighborhood-y bar The Railyard in the Galleria area before joining Beyonce for her Christmas Day halftime performance, which was livestreamed on Netflix.


Post Malone left a big surprise for Renee Brown in form of a $20,000 tip. "I try to go above and beyond to take care of all of our customers, and loved seeing them interact with Post Malone when he visited — he was so genuine and made everyone feel comfortable," says Brown. As a single mother, Brown works two jobs when she isn't homeschooling her daughter. "His generosity with this life-changing gift blew me away. This definitely wasn't the Christmas Eve I was expecting, but one I'm forever thankful to have had."

The Railyard is no strander to hosting celebs; it’s also been visited by David Spade and Keifer Sutherland.

"One of the most amazing things about this bar is that you never know who is going to walk through the door,” says Trey Melcher, owner of The Railyard. “In the past we've had visits from celebrities, but this unexpected act of kindness made all of our holiday seasons brighter."

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.
