The 110-year-old post office building in downtown Austin, boasting large white columns in a sea of glass towers, will be transformed into a multi-level upscale restaurant and entertainment venue by Sam Fox and Justin Timberlake — and new details are out.
On Oct. 30, the Austin Business Journal reported that The Twelve Thirty Club will move into the 210 W. Sixth St. building. Fox, behind Author & Edit Hospitality, has once again partnered with Justin Timberlake to open a second location of The Twelve Thirty Club. The original club opened in 2021 in Nashville's Upper Broadway.
Opening a restaurant in downtown Austin can take millions of dollars, but this project is bringing it to a new level with its $30 million buildout of the space. The approximately 35,000-square-foot spot is slated to open in late 2027, with construction set to begin in early 2026. It will be larger than the Nashville location by 10,000 square feet.
AvroKO, the designer behind the club's Nashville location, was also tapped for the Austin project.
The four-story club will be set across four levels: the main level will be The Supper Club, an all day dining and entertainment hub; down a hidden stairway will be a late night Speakeasy; the second level will be the Honorary Member private club; above the Honorary Member floor is a private event space that can host up to 80 guests for bespoke dinners, cocktail receptions and celebrations. The upper floors draw on the tradition of supper clubs as private establishments where members can access a private lounge, VIP priority reservations, invitations to members-only chef dinners, wine events and other gatherings — with an exclusive terrace overlooking the Supper Club that offers a special viewing for any shows.
"After what we created in Nashville, I’m thrilled to be bringing The Twelve Thirty Club to Austin,” Timberlake said in a statement. “This city truly gets live music, and getting to restore the soul of such an iconic building while working with Sam again is incredible. We’re being intentional with how the space carries sound across every level, because how music lives in the room is just as important as the design. We’re creating a space that people will want to experience again and again."
The Twelve Thirty Club’s Austin menu will take cues from Nashville’s location, but Austin will have exclusive dishes and cocktails inspired by the city. The original location offers items such as oysters, shrimp cocktails, Maine lobster, steak varietals, salads and more.
