The full menu is still intact and always available, only now it s available well into the night. Plus, there are a few new late-night bar items.
Otherwise, the interior is less cluttered with a new coat of cream paint on a brick wall in the back with a large TV in the middle. A garage door was installed to open the space up with a few tables spilling onto the small patio. There’s a pool table and TouchTunes jukebox too (to play your walk-in music).
Rothman says they might do some live music down the road on the small stage in the corner. The past two weekends they’ve had a DJ at night.

Lucky’s Hot Chicken recently opened a second location, which is a relief because we can hardly find any hot chicken around here. Steven Monacelli previously wrote about the first location offering: “The tenders and wings plates come piled on top of white bread, which sops up the extra spice blend, a Nashville hot chicken tradition.” When it comes to any food that can employ the verb sops, there’s always room for more.
Postino Wine Cafe opened this weekend next to Merit Cafe. This is the third outpost for this spot (the others are in Arizona and Houston). Each location has an art installation that reflects the neighborhood or history of its area. The Deep Ellum location has an entire wall of vintage concert tickets “gathered from the community and Postino fans across the country.” Back in February, they solicited stubs via their Facebook page in exchange for $5 in Postino Bucks for every 10 tickets.
