A new concept dubbed Big Animal is taking over the space that, bringing approachable bar food and “really good cocktails” to the Pearl area.
“We’re kind of billing it as a homier alternative to all of the fine dining in the area … accessible, you could say,” Garcia told the. “The food will be Texas-centric, so people can expect thoughtful burgers, our Frito pie … just low-cost, good food.” “We’re trying to capitalize on existing technology as much as possible,” Garcia said. “People are going to be ordering food from their tables, eliminating the bottleneck effect we would see when people order food at the bar. We’re hoping this means people will see more efficient service and faster food times.”
Peña and his Boulevardier Group launched Hello Paradise in December 2020 with a menu focused on Thai fried chicken, Tom yum noodles and curry. Frozen drinks were a bar specialty. Moving forward — and after “dramatic reimagining” of the kitchen space — Peña will consult on cocktails for Big Animal but leave the food to Garcia.
