    Bottle Service News

    Bottle service comes to Hub 121 in McKinney via buzzy new social bar

    Getting social at Black Rabbit Social.

    Black Rabbit Social

    Bottle service has arrived in McKinney, via Black Rabbit Social, a new venue that just opened at The Hub 121, the mixed-use entertainment center at SH121 and Alma Road.

    Black Rabbit Social sits in a luxuriously-appointed 10,000-square-foot space that, according to a spokesperson, opened softly on April 28, with a primary focus as a nightclub offering bottle service, but also with a full kitchen serving food until 11 pm.

    The venue's multiple uses and nooks include:

    • dance floor
    • rooftop bar
    • secret garden
    • private booths
    • patio overlooking a creek that runs through the property

    They also promise a superior audio-visual system and an opulent design, as well as a menu with a strong Italian bent, including pizzas and snacks like fried ravioli, as well as burgers, salads, and fun desserts.

    "You can eat any time until 11 pm when the kitchen closes and the nightclub aspect becomes more prominent," a spokesperson says.

    They also position themselves as a destination for weekend brunch.

    Appetizers include mozzarella sticks, crispy Brussels, battered fries with Parmesan cheese, a Caprese salad, bruschetta, and charcuterie board.

    Burgers are half-pound Angus and like all sandwiches, come with choice of battered fries, sweet potato fries, or onion rings, priced from $14 to $17. Signature options include with cheddar, bacon & blue cheese, or mushroom & Swiss.

    Sandwiches include a chicken parm, a "L'Italiano" with pepperoni & salami, and a vegetarian sandwich with mushrooms and mixed greens, all served on toasted hoagies.

    Pizzas are 10-inch in choices such as pepperoni, supreme, meat, California (BBQ chicken), and Mediterranean with provolone, mozzarella, tomato, & arugula. Desserts include NY cheesecake and funnel cake fries.

    Brunch features omelets, chicken & waffles, benedicts, bagel with smoked salmon, BLT, French toast, and a brunch board sampler. The cocktail menu is still getting its finishing touches, details on all that are still to come.

    Their name brings on a little happy jolt of nostalgia to the glorious pre-pandemic days of 2019, in which every bar and restaurant wanted to have "social" in their name. Praise the baby Jesus, are we back to normal?

    Black Rabbit Social is from Billy J. Lynch, whose prior experience includes managing Electric Cowboy in Lewisville. His goal, he says, is to provide a place for people to socialize, especially in the northern part of DFW, which has fewer options for a population that's growing.

    Beyond the usual nightclub audience, they're pitching themselves as a place to celebrate birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate events, and happy hour.

    They'll be open Wednesday–Sunday, although the spokesperson cautions that they're still in soft-opening mode and this week won't open until Thursday May 11. But that's also the night they'll kick off their Happy Hour, which runs every Thursday and Friday from 5-9 pm, with $6 well drinks, $8 call drinks, $4 domestic beers, $6 premium beers, and $5 seltzers.

    Italian Restaurant News

    Italian restaurant The Saint makes debut in Dallas Design District

    A swanky restaurant is relocating from one hip Dallas neighborhood to another: The Saint, the Italian steakhouse from Hooper Hospitality Concepts which originally opened near Deep Ellum in 2023, is moving to a new address in the Dallas Design District.

    The restaurant will open at 1000 N. Riverfront Blvd., and it's happening soon: According to a release, it'll open on Saturday, January 3.

    It's going into same building that will be home to Night Rooster, The Saint's sibling Asian concept which will open sometime in 2026.

    Hooper Hospitality Concepts CEO Andy Hooper says in a statement that "the Design District offers the ideal setting for the experience we’ve created. It gives us greater visibility, a setting that matches the sophistication of our menu, and a chance to welcome even more guests into the world of The Saint."

    Decor
    The 1,800-square-foot dining room seats 85. Highlights include a golden-tiled stairway leading to the restaurant’s second-story landing, crowned by an 18th-century gilt chandelier, counterbalanced by a graffitied antique oil portrait hand-tagged by Design District artist Kelly O’Neal.

    It's a whole opposites theme, creating a space where both “saints and sinners” feel at home. The wallpaper features a vivid interpretation of saints-and-sinners iconography, blending flora, fauna, snakes, doves, and talismanic motifs into a damask pattern.

    Scalloped upholstered booths soften the room with elegant curves under the pink glow of an antique 1920s Parisian glass-domed chandelier. Nearly every seat captures a view of the downtown Dallas skyline.

    New chef
    The kitchen is now led by executive chef Sergio Esquivel, a Dallas-born chef whose culinary roots trace back to early days cooking beside his grandmothers. He attended The Culinary Institute of America and has worked at Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse, Georgie by Curtis Stone, Harper’s, Nuri Steakhouse, and as personal chef for the Jones family at AT&T Stadium.

    His style blends steakhouse tradition with Italian technique, Peruvian brightness, American comfort, and Korean depth, with a commitment to crafting everything in-house.

    His menu will include dry-aged cuts from Texas ranchers, Wagyu selections, housemade pastas, seafood, and vegetarian and vegan dishes.

    Standout menu items include

    • Texas Wagyu Tartare with truffle carpaccio and balsamic cured egg yolk
    • Shellfish Platter with Maine lobster, king crab, oysters, and prawns with cocktail sauce
    • Wild Mushroom & Black Truffle Tagliatelle
    • 32-oz Bistecca Alla Fiorentina

    The bar program will continue to offer inventive cocktails and a notable wine selection, now enhanced by a lineup of new signature drinks such as the In Good Faith with Ford’s Gin, Ramazotti Apertivo, hibiscus syrup, lemon and sparkling wine; plus new smoked whiskey decanter drinks, offering a mesquite-smoked Manhattan and Old Fashioned in regular and top shelf selections.
