Cowboy-inspired, family-friendly restaurant rides into prime inner loop space
A rendering previews the exterior of Long Weekend.
A new, family-friendly restaurant is coming to a prime inner loop location. Called Long Weekend, the new eatery takes inspiration from Texas’ cowboy culture.
Slated to open this fall in the former King’s Bierhaus and Egghaus spaces in Lazybrook/Timbergrove, Long Weekend is the latest project from husband-and-wife duo Paige and Andrew Alvis. A commercial real estate developer by day, Andrew Alvis is also a partner in Wild, the cannabis-focused restaurant and coffee shop with locations in Montrose and the Heights.
Inspired by the Alvis family ranch, the couple wanted to create a concept that would appeal to the many young families in the area. The restaurant’s prime location near the Heights and its ample parking convinced them to take on the space, which will offer more than 8,000 square feet of indoor seating and a 20,000-square-foot outdoor patio — complete with a kids’ play area, TVs for watching sports, and a stage for live music.
As for its food, expect a wood-fired menu built around steaks, seafood, and wild game such as quail and elk. They’ll be joined by salads, grilled vegetables, and other lighter fare. Beverage options will include cocktails and and a substantial draft beer selection.
The former EggHaus space will become an all-day cafe serving tacos, pastries, and locally-roasted coffee. More details about the couple's plans will be shared as the opening draws closer.
