A new bar lounge is set to open in the Heights in late January, according to a Jan. 15 news release.

The details

Starduster Lounge on 3921 N. Main St. is a bar that combines the rugged charm of West Texas with the energy of Houston's North Main Street. The bars inspiration ties to the vibrant energy of '70s Texas—where cowboy culture, Tejano rhythms and counterculture collided, per the release.

Starduster Lounge is the passion project of local entrepreneur and musician Will Thomas—who also created White Oak Music Hall and Dan Electro’s—alongside bar owner Benjy Mason of Johnny’s Gold Brick and Winnie’s.

The bar is housed in a restored 1940s building that once housed the iconic Spanish Flowers restaurant, with a colorful history as a Latin music venue. Today, the space features vintage fixtures, hand-painted tiles, archways and a desert mural by local artist Carissa Marx-Beaty.
