Hudson House
Hudson House, known for its East Coast–inspired raw bar and touted “World’s Coldest Martini,” is making its way to Southlake, according to a release. Slated to open in Summer 2026 at 1131 E. Southlake Blvd, the new location will bring the neighborhood-style comfort and classic American dishes that have quietly made the restaurant a local favorite since its Fort Worth debut in December 2023 at 4600 Dexter Ave. Inside the former Celebration and The Ice House locale.
The menu leans on familiar favorites with a polished touch — thin-patty cheeseburgers with house Hudson sauce, creamy Chicken Parm, and The Bouquet, a tower of oysters, shrimp, snow crab claws, and tuna tartare.
Hudson House’s raw bar and casual yet refined approach to American classics have earned it a loyal following. The Southlake location is expected to continue that tradition with leather booths, a wraparound bar, a sit-down raw bar, and an outdoor patio.
The bar menu balances the signature “World’s Coldest Martini” with seasonal and approachable cocktails, including a Lemon Drop, Bleu & Gold, Frozen Bellini, and Strawberry Spritz. The focus remains on drinks that naturally pair with the food and encourage lingering conversation.
“Southlake has been on our radar for years—it’s a tight-knit community that values great hospitality and consistency,” said Hunter Pond, founder & CEO of Vandelay Hospitality Group. “We’re excited to bring our East Coast raw bar, signature cheeseburger, and the ‘World’s Coldest Martini’ to the neighborhood this winter.”
Hudson House Southlake is slated to open next Summer. For updates and future reservations, you can visit hudsonhousehp.com.
