Historic Hogan Building in Fort Worth to welcome a Mexican restaurant
Beverly's Mexican Fort Worth
There's a new restaurant set to open in downtown Fort Worth. Called Beverly’s Downtown, it's a Mexican place set to open in the basement of the historic Hogan Building at 901 Houston St.
According to a release, Beverly's will open in late 2025.
The restaurant is from a team that includes Jeff Payne and Jason Cross, owners of Cousin’s BBQ and the highly anticipated New American restaurant, The Mont; partnered with Jeff Morgan and Steve Maddux, owners of the historic Hogan Building. They've been working on the renovation of the building since 2022.
The team brings a shared passion for hospitality, design, and culinary creativity to a project that aims to continue to elevate the city’s dining scene.
"We’re not trying to replicate the traditional Mexican restaurant experience,” says co-owner Jeff Payne. “Instead, we’re moving the needle forward while respecting the roots of the cuisine — creating something unique, sexy, familiar, and entirely new.”
Beverly’s will be open for lunch as well as dinner and after-hours dining, aimed at locals and visitors alike.
The menu will explore the full geographical and cultural spectrum of Mexican cuisine: from the meats and earthy spices of the North to the coastal influences of the Gulf and Caribbean.
Each dish will start with recognizable tradition but with inventive execution, such as their take on bread service, swapping rolls for heirloom flour and corn tortillas served with cultured butter mixed with pickled onion.
The 7,000-square-foot restaurant is an underground hideaway with an atmospheric, speakeasy-like allure, featuring rustic textures, moody lighting, and curved architectural accents.
Originally built in 1900 and redesigned in Art Deco style in 1937, the Hogan Building has been restored to its historic roots with modern touches.
