Hopscotch, a tasteful and detail-oriented new bar, will soon be opening on South Lamar, according to recent reporting in Eater. The bar establishment will be run by the owners of the widely-anticipated Elementary, slated to open just next door.

The publication reports that Hopscotch “will work as a small space — only 15 bar seats — serving natural wines, cocktails, tinned fish, and other snacks.” 

“Co-owners Colter Peck, Chris Arial, and Allan Bautista see the wine bar as a space to use up food scraps and trimmings from Elementary in order to minimize food waste, which means that the menu will change often and quickly.”

Further articulating the joint vision of the two spaces, Eater reports that Hopscotch “is meant to work as a space for drinks and snacks before, after, or while waiting for a table at Elementary, which will serve a full dinner menu with New American dishes.” 

“The names work in junction with that whole childhood/school theme: Hopscotch as the playground and Elementary as the school. A rep for the restaurant/bar describes the Hopscotch space as being ‘moody’ and ‘darker’ than ‘Elementary’s vibrant tones.’”
