Kansas City-based 54th Street Restaurant & Drafthouse has big plans central Texas in the next two years, according to recent public records. The chain will be opening a Cedar Park location at 1330 East New Hope Drive and a south Austin location at an undisclosed location.
What Now Austin briefly reached Area Director Jonas Fangman to inquire about these two developments. Regarding the Cedar Park location, Mr. Fangman stated “It’s probably two years away from opening.”
Regarding the south Austin location, Mr. Fangman then stated that the south Austin location would open much sooner, likely in “early 2024.” While no address was provided, Mr. Fangman stated it would be found in the Sunset Valley neighborhood.
