New Restaurant Inspired by Korean Soju Bars Debuts in Uptown - Eater Dallas

"Neighborhood eatery Victor Hugo’s, known for its eclectic menu, will close in late May after seven years in Oak Cliff. Owner Victor Hugo and wife Brianna Ruelas said in a statement that they “held on as long as we could,” but that the COVID-19 pandemic hit their business hard. According to Culturemap, the couple had a second restaurant in the works that was roughly 75 percent complete when the pandemic first hit in early 2020. Despite advances made with vaccines and restaurants being able to reopen fully in Texas, they’ve opted to take a pause and focus on other ventures, such as catering and private dinners. Diners have until May 30 to visit Victor Hugo’s, at 1115 N. Beckley Avenue." - Brittanie Shey
