The south Las Vegas Valley is getting a new neighborhood hangout: Hawthorne Craft Bar & Kitchen opens Thursday, Nov. 12, where Dean Martin Drive meets Southern Highlands, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Thursday.
Where and who
A Clark County permit lists the address as 10620 Dean Martin Drive, Suite 100, in the KAKTUSlife plaza in Southern Highlands, according to an earlier report by What Now Las Vegas. Restaurateur Robert Parekh is opening Hawthorne with partners. Parekh told the Review-Journal the idea was to bring some of the energy of a night out closer to home for south valley residents. What Now reported that Parekh has more than 20 years in food and beverage, including work at Fontainebleau, the TAP and Trustworthy Brewing.
What’s on the menu
The concept, as described in earlier plans, is an upscale sports bar and neighborhood eatery with music, sports on many TVs and live entertainment. Plans called for scratch-made pub fare such as fish and chips, modern American dishes with international flavors, including a Kerala-spiced fried chicken, plus craft cocktails, craft beer and a happy hour. The opening had originally been targeted for mid-October.
What it means for locals and visitors
Southern Highlands and the surrounding Enterprise area have been adding restaurants as the neighborhood grows, and Hawthorne gives locals a game-day option without heading to the Strip. Hours had not been announced; check the restaurant’s channels before going on opening day.
