Red Room

Restaurateur-turned-developer Beau Theriot—the brain behind Tex-Mex mainstay Cafe Adobe and Austin’s Oasis restaurant—has revamped his H-Town portfolio with the addition of the Red Room lounge.

Set above Theriot’s former Brownstone restaurant, Red Room brings River Oaks residents a relaxing place for specialty sips and occasional live music performances. The conversation-friendly spot—which is washed in a rich red and onyx palette—has a 1920s burlesque vibe aided in part, by soft lighting and plush seating.

Indulge in a white chocolate martini, bottle of bubbly or make a selection from Red Room’s signature drink list, which pays homage to nearby neighbors. There’s the John Staub Side Car, Boulevard Bellini, Willowick White Chocolate and Kirby Key Lime with vanilla vodka, fresh lime and cream. The spot is open Tuesday through Saturday until 2AM and midnight on Sundays.
