A site that once hosted a sleep clinic will soon be waking up Alamo Heights. Dallas-based oyster and martini bar Hudson House will open its first San Antonio location in the revamped Nix Health building at 5307 Broadway.<\/p>\n

The East Coast-inspired concept hails from Vandelay Hospitality Group, a prolific restaurant company known for several concepts including Jack & Harry\u2019s and Drake\u2019s Hollywood. Since its 2017 debut in Dallas\u2019 tony Highland Park neighborhood, it has expanded to 11 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and Houston.<\/p>\n

Commercial real estate firm SHOP Companies teased Hudson House in their original property flyer, saying it has attracted an unnamed \u201cEast Coast-inspired oyster and martini bar with American cuisine.\u201d The renderings showed a placeholder concept called \u201cMartini House Oysters and Raw Bar,\u201d which surely winked at the new tenant.<\/p>\n

The menu combines global seafood favorites with classic American cuisine. Each location\u2019s offerings are a little different, but the concept is known for flying in East Coast oysters daily, fish tacos, lobster rolls, and maki such as a rice-free Signature Roll with salmon, tuna, crab, tempura flakes, and spicy ponzu.<\/p>\n

Landlubbers can also expect dishes like cheeseburgers, a salad with popcorn chicken, chicken parm, and steak frites. And the San Antonio menu will undoubtedly feature Hudson\u2019s famous whipped avocado dip served with ranch chips.<\/p>\n

Hudson\u2019s beverage program is led by the \u201cWorld\u2019s Coldest Martini,\u201d a Grey Goose cocktail served on tap and chilled to a frosty 10 degrees. Additional martinis include blue cheese, lemon, and espresso variations.<\/p>\n

Design-wise, the brand takes its cues from West Village neighborhood spots, decorating with warm wood, brass and opal glass fixtures, greenery, and navy leather in booths and barstools. The d\u00e9cor doesn\u2019t scream nautical, although globe lights are wrapped in a little net.<\/p>\n

A Vandelay rep did not immediately return a request for more information. But new project details filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation give some clues. According to state records, the $1.6 million buildout is set to finish in April 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
