(The Devonshire Club is closed Mondays.) There will be lounge games, such as shuffleboard, billiards and darts, as it angles to bring in a late-night crowd with its open-until-2-a.m. weekend hours. There will be TVs throughout the space too for game-watching.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">One final touch: guests can expect a small bowl of popcorn coated in a proprietary spice blend from chef Jacob Williamson, who consulted on the new concept, when they sit down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The Devonshire Club is located at 5757 W. Lovers Lane, Suite 101, Dallas. It opens Nov. 14, 2025, and will be open Tuesday through Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So long, Nikki Greek Bistro &amp; Lounge, and hello, The Devonshire Club.
