Atlas Heights Restaurant will be the third location within the Atlas Cocktail Bar lineup, and is set to be located at 729 W 19th St. Co-owned and managed by Dan Bui, alongside partners Richard Henson and Danny Jester, Atlas Heights aims to celebrate the art of mixology and fine dining in a distinctively communal atmosphere.
The concept behind Atlas is a homage to the classic cocktails that have paved the way for the sophisticated drinks we enjoy today. As such, the restaurant’s cocktail menu will feature both timeless classics and innovative creations, some only found at each respective venue, all designed to captivate a diverse clientele. In addition to its core menu, each Atlas location offers unique food items designed to pair with their beverage offerings creating a fuller experience and fostering a sense of local uniqueness amidst the chain’s overarching identity.
Dan Bui, who has been a prominent figure in the hospitality industry since 2001, expressed his excitement about returning to his roots. After years of cultivating a diverse portfolio, including the upcoming Sports Book concept set to replace the former Krio this May in Dallas, coming back to Houston feels like a full circle moment for him.
The Atlas Heights Restaurant not only promises to offer a blend of standard and location-specific menu items but also aims to involve community figures as minority partners, deepening its ties to the local culture and economy. With its strategic location in Houston and a commitment to quality, Atlas Heights is poised to become a staple for locals and a must-visit destination for tourists, marking a new chapter in Houston’s gastronomic narrative.
Set to open by the end of 2024, the restaurant promises to be a haven for food and cocktail aficionados alike.
