"Opening on Ross Ave. in East Dallas on December 22, Columbian Country Club was created by Brian Rutt, Justin Kallhoff, and Jonathan Rosenberg (partners in Alice) and was inspired by a 19th-century Jewish country club of the same name; its stated mission is to capture the essence of New York City’s golden era and the timeless allure of the martini, so the martini menu runs deep alongside classic cocktails and a curated array of Champagnes and wines, while the bites skew classic-meets-homey with offerings such as caviar served Texas-style, a parmesan bagel, and Nonnie’s Doozie (a turkey pastrami sandwich on marbled rye)." - Courtney E.
