Hawthorne Craft Bar & Kitchen is one of the newest concepts set to hit the Valley this fall. The elevated sports bar is expected to open in the Southern Highlands within the KAKTUSlife plaza at 10620 Dean Martin Dr, Suite 100, according to a Clark County permit.
What Now Las Vegas briefly spoke with the man behind it all: restaurateur Robert Parekh.
“I’m very excited to be opening Hawthorne Craft Bar and Kitchen,” Parekh said via text.
Parekh excitedly confirmed the opening, but was unfortunately unable to share further details by the time of this publication. But, as Parekh and friends work through construction and permitting, it is understandable. We suspect the new eatery is on its path to opening this fall, as the brand’s website suggests.
“Hawthorne Craft Bar & Kitchen is a vibrant and welcoming neighborhood concept presented by restaurateur Robert Parekh and friends,” the Hawthorne Craft Bar and Kitchen website reads.
“After overseeing some of the most successful sports bar concepts on the Las Vegas strip, Robert decided it was time to open his own place. In 2026, Hawthorne Craft Bar and Kitchen was created.”
Parekh is known for his work with Fontainebleau, the TAP, and Trustworthy Brewing, where he was brewing beer, something new and exciting on the Las Vegas Strip.
His new concept promises an enticing happy hour and live entertainment.
“Our goal is to give you an elevated sports bar experience with innovative cocktails, craft beer, and food you crave incessantly,” the Hawthorne Craft Bar and Kitchen website reads.
“Add exemplary service, lots of TVs, live entertainment, and mind-blowing audio visual enhancements, and we hope to make Hawthorne Craft Bar and Kitchen your neighborhood hangout!”
