Coming Soon: Hawthorne Craft Bar & Kitchen in Southern Highlands
Hawthorne Craft Bar & Kitchen, from restaurateur Robert Parekh, is aiming for a mid-October 2026 open at 10620 Dean Martin Drive, Suite 100 in the KAKTUSlife plaza. The official site lists planned hours of Sun–Thu 11 a.m.–11 p.m. and Fri–Sat 11 a.m.–midnight (subject to change), with reservations at (725) 222-7711, and Parekh has talked up scratch pub fare plus modern American plates like Kerala-spiced fried chicken. Exact open day is still soft, so treat mid-October as the window and watch the site for a hard date.
