MML Hospitality announced in February that it launched a partnership with the owners of Bartlett’s to launch a second location in south Austin. The new restaurant will be located in the former Threadgill’s space, which shuttered in 2020.
Construction on the new Bartlett’s is estimated to cost $4 million, according to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

The announcement came just months before Bartlett’s celebrated its 40th anniversary, according to previous Community Impact reporting. The restaurant is known for its hand-cut fish and steaks, fresh-ground burgers, and other scratch-made items.
MML Hospitality, the group behind Clark’s Oyster Bar, Neighborhood Sushi and Jeffery’s, will oversee service and culinary operations, according to a social media post.
Next steps
Olson Kundig is designing the 9,000-square-foot space, according to MML, which is expected to feature green space, outdoor seating and booths.
A recent Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation project filing shows that construction on the new Bartlett’s is estimated to begin in early 2027, wrapping up in late September.
