Upscale Tavern Taps Waterloo Brewing's CBD Space

AUSTIN-Wichita, KS-based Fox and Hound Smokehouse and Tavern searched for awhile, but finally settled on the warehouse entertainment district for its first location in Austin. The upscale tavern operator could open doors by August's end.

AUSTIN-An empty CBD space is going to the hounds–the Fox and Hound Smokehouse and Tavern that is. The Wichita, KS-based chained plans to open an Austin restaurant in the building at Fourth and Guadalupe streets that housed the Waterloo Brewing Co.

Rett Corson of Dallas-based Mays & Co., which represents Fox and Hound, says the company is still working with the city of Austin for approvals, but expects the restaurant to be in operation by the end of August. He says Fox and Hound, a concept from Wichita’s Total Entertainment Corp., is an upscale tavern and restaurant with games such as billiards, darts and shuffleboard. It can accommodate private parties and other events.

The restaurant will fill a downtown void left when Waterloo Brewing Co., the state’s first brewpub, closed in 2001. The location is in the heart of the warehouse entertainment district, now getting the attention of residential developers. Plaza Lofts, which towers just north of the restaurant building, is opening and an AMLI Residential project is to open nearby as part of the developing city hall project.
