The restaurant and bar is still open, but crews will be doing a renovation to move the parking lot, expand the kitchen and add a new private dining area. Managing Partner Buddy Cramer calls it a "beautification."
City of Dallas records confirm that the bar's new certificate of occupancy includes nearly 96 parking spots, double the number from before.
On that former parking lot, crews will expand the kitchen and add more bathrooms. Cramer says they'll also space out the existing outdoor patio seating.

I think Hot Joy takes the crown. 3 months. For good reason. And that stupid, racist mural still adorns the building.

To me, it really seemed like it was designed to cater to the drunk/party crowd, so perhaps I'm just not the target audience here.

It looks like San Martin will open soon.
A restaurant is going into the old MAT location. They have gutted the place.
The club moving into the old Idle Rich location looks like it is going to be the worst. Probably will require a membership and $200 bottle to get a table. It will fit in nicely with Circo.

Apologies if this was posted elsewhere, but we may be losing the Fat Rabbit/PL8 + Nickel & Rye buildings + the historic home (built in 1900 according to DCAD) with Methodology Pilates soon. The owner is assembling the land for a high-rise.

Where's the cheap Chinese takeout spots in Downtown and Uptown, for example? There are NONE. Unless you count a couple in the tunnels downtown with very limited hours. The retail owners would rather wait for the Apple store that is never coming to lease their space.

I agree. You could always drive to an ugly strip mall in Richardson for your authentic and cheap Chinese![]()

And how many Apple stores do we need? Uptown alone has 4 Starbucks and at least 2 others not too far away (Hall & 75 and Oak Lawn Ave.). It seems like for these properties it's either a major chain, some pretentious and overpriced place like Pl8 (that lasts about 3 months at most), or sits empty. Very rarely do we get something truly interesting.
