"We wanted to pay homage to this exclusive social club," Rutt says. "It was a place that many Dallasites spent a lot of time in while growing up. It was a special place for me and my family in particular.”
Additionally, per the press release, this new cocktail lounge captures New York City's Golden Era with old-world glamour and live piano music paired with martinis and classic cocktails.
Lastly, Rutt says in the press release, “Imagine this as a place you would see them go in The Wolf of Wall Street.”
