WORLD-CLASS BAR
From the Editor

The latest from nightlife operators Army Sadeghi and Brandon Duliakas, the team behind Montrose's Melrose, 1111 opened in May 2026 on Lower Westheimer inside Radom Capital's redevelopment of the historic Tower Theater. The 4,500-square-foot room, designed by Houston's Nina Magon Studio, draws on Mexico City and the Riviera Maya, with a sculptural dome over a custom oval bar built around omakase-style stations where each pour is made in view. Cocktails come from bartenders connected to Mexico City's Handshake Speakeasy, named the world's best bar in 2024; the kitchen, overseen by Emmanuel Chavez of Tatemó, runs modern Mexican small plates and composed dishes like a Contramar-style whole grilled sea bass. Smart-chic dress is enforced. For a Mexico City–minded cocktail room where the bar is the stage.
