DALLAS - Two of the last remaining food and drink spots from the early days of Victory Park – Craft Dallas and the Ghostbar – will close soon, according to a statement from the W Dallas Victory hotel. Craft Dallas, celebrity chef Tom Colicchio’s North Texas expansion, will close at the end of summer and reopen in the early fall as Cook Hall, an American gastropub.
Ghostbar, on the 33rd floor, will close later this month.
Hotel management sees the change as a “natural evolution.”
Well, I honestly don't know what's more devastating, that this great city will soon be losing it's finest lounge, or that it was completely buried in everyone's story by the closing of a run-of-the-mill steakhouse for yet another gastropub. Either way, it's been a real rough stretch for the great Ghostbar. First it's founder did himself in last November, now the legendary institution itself will soon be found lifeless in an enclosed garage with nothing but a running foreign sports car and tearful regret. Say what you will, but of all the many cheesy ultra lounges in this town, you couldn't beat the Ghostbar's starpower or view. Was truly a must-visit. No word yet on the real reason for the closing, or what will become of the some of the hottest square footage in town, but tip some Grey Goose and palm-slap a high-dollar escort's ass tonight in its honor.
