What Now Austin previews Austin Sports Club, the downtown dining and entertainment concept created by Kevin Durant in partnership with Rich Kleiman’s Boardroom Hospitality, Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia and Austin-based Lobos Hospitality.
The article describes the forthcoming venue as a timeless restaurant reimagined for the modern athlete, executive and tastemaker. Early hiring materials characterized the concept as a combination of luxury dining and immersive sports culture in the heart of downtown Austin.
Designed by Peter Maxwell Bowden and PETERMAX Co., Austin Sports Club elevates the familiar sports-bar model through a richly layered interior of dark wood, tailored seating, marble surfaces, softly glowing lamps and curated athletic imagery. Screens are integrated throughout the room without overpowering the more polished hospitality experience.
At the time of publication, the culinary program was still being developed. The early coverage instead centered on the concept’s high-profile ownership team, its downtown location and its ambition to become a sophisticated gathering place built around food, drinks and a shared love of sports.
