A star-studded new restaurant is headed to Downtown Austin this spring. With NBA superstar (and co-owner) Kevin Durant attached, Austin Sports Club will open at 205 E Third St.
For Austin Sports Club, Durant is partnering with “Rich Kleiman’s Boardroom Hospitality, Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia and Lobos Hospitality — the Austin-based team behind retro diner Toasty Badger on South Congress Avenue, sandwich shop Manny’s and cocktail bar the Powder Room, both located downtown,” says coverage by the Austin American Statesman.
It’s described in the coverage as, “a timeless restaurant reimagined for the modern athlete, executive, and tastemaker.” For the moment, the culinary details are not yet available. The American Statesman says the Lobos Hospitality team is still developing the menu.
Lobos Hospitality has already begun hiring for several key positions, including Bar Manager, Executive Sous Chef, and Sous Chef (you can apply on the Lobos Hospitality website).
What now reached out to Lobos Co-founder and COO Eric Kemp on Thursday to ask about the concept. Kemp was not immediately available for comment.
A few snippets from the hiring posts provide some details however:
“Austin Sports Club blends luxury dining with immersive sports culture in the heart of downtown,” says one. Sounds awesome!
