The four-time Olympic gold medalist and likely future Hall of Famer is expanding into hospitality with Austin Sports Club, a new downtown Austin restaurant and entertainment venue scheduled to open this September. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The concept is a collaboration among Durant, Boardroom CEO and business partner Rich Kleiman, Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, and Austin-based Lobos Hospitality.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Kevin-Durant-Rich-Kleiman-and-Airbnb-co-founder-Joe-Gebbia-are-teaming-up-with-Austin-based-Lob-819x.jpeg\" alt=\"Image shows renderings of Austin Sports Club restaurant in Austin. \" class=\"wp-image-37243\"  \/>Image credit: @boardroom<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lobos Hospitality is the group behind Austin concepts including Powder Room, Manny\u2019s, Toasty Badger, and Studio Lobos. Austin Sports Club is Boardroom Hospitality\u2019s first restaurant venture and will occupy a 4,723-square-foot space at 205 E. Third St. in downtown Austin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Described as a \u201ctimeless restaurant reimagined for the modern athlete, executive, and tastemaker,\u201d the Austin Sports Club is a luxury sports bar and restaurant that combines elevated dining, craft cocktails, immersive sports culture, and a contemporary take on the classic American athletic club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Austin Sports Club\u2019s food program will lean into refined American classics rather than conventional sports-bar staples. Steak anchors the menu, including a Snake River Farms ribeye, while seafood-forward options will include chilled lobster rolls and grilled fish. Guests can expect cacio e pepe arancini, lollipop wings, bread served with bone-marrow butter, and caviar paired with tater tots.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Austin Sports Club will add weekend brunch service from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Announced dishes include stuffed French toast and steak and eggs, extending the venue\u2019s steakhouse-adjacent approach into daytime dining.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cocktail program will be equally central to the concept. Early announced drinks include the Wimbledon \u201975, The Dagger, and The Hat Trick, alongside a brunch-oriented Bloody Hail Mary made with bacon-washed vodka and house-made Bloody Mary mix. Wine, craft beer, and rare spirits will also be available.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Austin Sports Club opens in Austin at 205 E. Third St. on Thursday, September 10. Once open, the restaurant will operate from 5 pm \u2013 10 pm Monday through Thursday; from 5 pm \u2013\u00a011 pm on Fridays; from 10 am \u2013 4 pm for Saturday and Sunday brunch; from 4 pm \u2013 11 pm for Saturday dinner; and from  4 pm \u2013 10 pm for Sunday dinner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reservations are highly encouraged. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kevin Durant is a two-time NBA champion, 16-time NBA All-Star, and the United States\u2019 all-time Olympic basketball scoring&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":421878,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[59194,132,134,133,1770,1634,88135,14148,23079],"class_list":["post-421877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-american-food","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-basketball","tag-cocktails","tag-lobster","tag-seafood","tag-steak"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=421877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421877\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/421878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=421877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=421877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=421877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
