From Michelin stars and other accolades, to serving some of our favorite artists and friends, to a family of staff that believed in what Dusek’s was all about. We would like to send a heartfelt thanks to the team who gave life to this restaurant on a daily basis and throughout the years. You truly made this space a favorite for so many.”

Thalia Hall along with bars Tack Room and Punch House will remain open.
