Betelgeuse Betelgeuse

All the Restaurant Openings in Houston, June 2025 | Eater Houston

"A small, immersive tiki concept opening behind Betelgeuse that aims to evoke the ‘‘space between death and vacation’’ with hyper-stylized, Tim Burton–adjacent decor and a strictly limited capacity (about 50). Creators Chris Cusack and Brian Dibala program theatrical tiki cocktails such as a Brown Butter Rum Old Fashioned (brown-butter fat-washed rums, rich paradise syrup, blended bitters), This Sunset Should Be Illegal (mezcal, acid-adjusted orange juice, orange liqueur, lime punch syrup, fassionola) and a Pistachio Mai Tai (multiple rums, house pistachio orgeat, orange liqueurs, lime, and flambéed finish); reservations are expected to be released on Resy." - Courtney E.
