Uptown-adjacent restaurant and bar The Henry, located at 2301 N. Akard St., is launching a new pop-up that seems perfect for summer. Called Hank's Hideaway, it's inspired by the tiki culture and the beaches of Tulum, Mexico, and will make its debut on the rooftop of The Henry on May 1.
Part of Fox Restaurant Concepts (Flower Child, Doughbird, Culinary Dropout), The Henry first opened at The Union Dallas complex in 2019, and is no stranger to the idea of temporary pop-ups, having hosted prior seasonal pop-ups such as the Winter Wonderland. The Henry is a bar for all seasons.
Hank's will feature a moody indoor space that segues to a bright, tropical outdoor area, with an abundance of tiki-themed décor and cabanas to bring paradise to the heart of Dallas.
The menu will pour tropical cocktails, many tiki classics, and with a brand sponsor: Ilegal Mezcal, known for its smoky, agave-forward flavor. Drinks include:
- Benito’s Margarita with Ilegal Caribbean Cask Reposado, Havana Club Añejo Blanco, charred habanero, and fluffy pineapple
- Coco Loco made with Bacardi Ocho, Ilegal Reposado, Havana Club Añejo Blanco and drop top sour, served in a coconut
- Frozen Daquiri with havana club añejo blanco, cane sugar, and lime
- Malachi’s Milk Punch with coconut washed Ilegal Joven, Havana Club Rum, guanabana, Spanish vanilla, and lime leaf
- Blue Hawaiian with Santa Teresa 1796, Giffard Curacao Bleu, fresh coconut water, pineapple, and lime
- Scorpion Bowl, a shareable drink for three with Bacardi Ocho, Ilegal Reposado,
pineapple-soaked cognac,
drunken watermelon, spiced orgeat,
pressed orange, and fyre island
The food menu will feature seafood bites with Asian-Hawaiian flavors such as short rib potstickers with toasted sesame; Kalua pork sliders with passionfruit BBQ sauce; and a yellowfin poke bowl. Finish the night off with a lemon olive oil cake with fresh strawberry, lemon curd, vanilla mascarpone strawberry gelato, and basil.
Hank’s Hideaway will be open daily at 4 pm (they'll be open for regular weekend brunch on Saturday-Sunday at 11 am), until July 27, when the tiki torch goes out.
