Hawthorne Craft Bar & Kitchen, a new neighborhood dining and entertainment spot in Southwest Las Vegas, is opening on Thursday, Nov. 12, with food, craft cocktails, beer and a rotating lineup of entertainment.

Founded by restaurateur Robert Parekh and partners, Hawthorne was created to give locals a place to gather for Happy Hours, casual dinners, live music, karaoke and nights outs. With a focus on food, drink and experiences, Hawthorne aims to become a staple for unwinding, connecting and enjoying a night out.

“We wanted to create a place where people feel comfortable coming in for any occasion, whether it’s grabbing a drink after work, meeting friends for dinner or enjoying a night of entertainment,” said Parekh.

“Hawthorne is about bringing people together over good food and drinks in a welcoming atmosphere where they can relax, have fun and make it a regular spot.” Menu highlights include:

• Charcuterie Board ($18): Chef’s selection of meats, cheeses and condiments.
• Caramelized Onion and Tomato Flatbread ($14): Roasted garlic cream sauce, provolone, chives and grated Parmesan.
• Mediterranean Lamb Sandwich ($18): Slow-braised lamb, cucumber, pepperoncini, crispy shallots and tzatziki on a brioche bun.
• Fish and Chips ($26): Beer-battered cod, fries and coleslaw remoulade.
• Hot Fudge Sundae ($16): Vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, caramel, peanuts, sprinkles, Oreo crumbles, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, cherries, toffee pieces and whipped cream.

Hawthorne’s beverage program complements the menu with signature cocktails featuring distinctive spirits and fresh ingredients: 

• Garden Variety ($15): Motleto tomato gin, Dolin dry vermouth, lemon, yellow bell pepper, sea salt and tonic.
• Italian Smoke Break ($14): Del Maguey Vida Single Village mezcal, Campari, pamplemousse, lime and sparkling water.
