500 Bistro and Staghound Bar.

Recently opened in late December “500” Bistro is a fine restaurant serving a popular variety of great food located Downtown at the bottom of the Prosperity Bank Building.

Open Sunday through Thursday from 5 – 10pm, and Friday and Saturday 5 – 12am, this is a classic French bistro in a cozy neighborhood spot serving moderately priced simple but great tasting meals in a nice yet comforting environment.

“500” has been inspired by the classic French bistro and has been given its’ own South Texas touch with a variety of great food choices on the menu all coming from the freshest of local meats, seafood and produce.

The Staghound Bar has been inspired by the renowned 19th century French artist Hermann Leon’s Painting which hangs elegantly at the bar coming straight from Paris, France. The bar serves a variety of vintage cocktails and fine wines that are also available to you whilst dining. The Staghound Bar also holds our signature “500” bottles of wine representing the name of the restaurant. The name derives from the restaurant street address whilst also representing the simplicity and strength for which “500” aims.
