"The Hightower, on East 7th Street in East Austin, served its final plates. However, its co-owners have held onto the space for a new bar/record shop/burrito restaurant." - Tim Forster
"Dolezal and Farnsworth opened Hightower in 2014, and closed the New American/Texan restaurant known for its great happy hour deals five years later last month. They already planned on holding onto the East 7th space for something new." - Nadia Chaudhury
"East Austin restaurant The Hightower is closing, as announced on social media. Its last day of service on 1209 East 7th Street will be on Sunday, September 8. Based on the shutter announcement, co-owners chef Chad Dolezal and general manager Victor Farnsworth will hold onto the space, as confirmed by Eater. 'Stay tuned to hear about our plans for the space,' they wrote on Instagram and Facebook. They will turn the space into something new with 'some old friends,' as Dolezal told Eater, that 'will be a great fit for our corner.' While the concept wasn’t disclosed yet, it will be revealed at a later date. Dolezal and Farnsworth opened the easygoing New American/Texan restaurant six years ago in January 2014. It was known for its great happy hour and that prime covered patio facing East 7th Street. Highlighted dishes included Brussels sprouts with sambal, pozole rojo soup dumplings, Dutch baby pancakes, and frozen cocktails." - Nadia Chaudhury
"In good news, ATX Brunches is a fan of the Dutch Baby at The Hightower’s brunch." - Erin Russell
