A bar and restaurant that was previously private has gone public: Terra Lounge and Restaurant, located at The Terraces office complex in Westlake, has opened its doors to the public, with salads, pizza, and a full bar.

Located at the back of The Terraces, at 1500 Solana Blvd., Terra Lounge formerly was only for tenants of The Terraces, an eight-building, 1.1 million-square-foot office complex. But due to a lack of restaurants and bars in the immediate area, Chicago-based Glenstar,, owner and property manager, opened it so that it could serve neighboring office buildings and communities including Westlake, Trophy Club, Southlake, and Roanoke.

“While we’ve had success in attracting employees and guests of The Terraces, now we want to open the doors to more of our neighbors,” said Kristi Layton, Glenstar’s vice president and general manager of The Terraces. “Westlake has very few restaurants in town, so we’d like to see Terra Lounge become the ‘Cheers’ of the neighborhood, where people can gather as a community, play a game of bocce ball, hear some live music, and just relax and connect with co-workers, friends and neighbors.”

That said, Terra Lounge is weekdays only: Monday-Thursday from 12-8 pm, and Fridays from 12-5 pm. The bar is closed on weekends. Repeat: The bar is closed on the weekends.

The menu includes appetizers, salads, and gourmet pizzas, plus beer, wine, and cocktails. Starters include garlic knots, fried pickles, crispy Brussels sprouts, spinach-artichoke dip, Caesar salad, house salad, and mozzarella sticks.

Pizzas include "classics" like pepperoni and meat lovers, plus "gourmet" with toppings like ricotta cheese and fig. Prices range from $11 to $17.

There are dozens of craft-style cocktails ranging from margaritas, to a raspberry lime mojito, to a smoked cherry old fashioned.

Managed by San Antonio-based ISS Guckenheimer, Terra has room for 99 diners in a 2,400-square-foot space with a fireplace, wood-paneled walls, copper bartop, and lounge seating. A second-level game room offers billiards, ping-pong, and shuffleboard. An adjacent pet-friendly patio with shaded seating allows bar patrons to take their drinks outside.

Glenstar completed a $25 million revitalization of The Terraces in 2021, reimagining a campus originally built in the 1980s for IBM. In addition to the restaurant, they've added a fitness facility with locker rooms, multiple indoor and outdoor seating/collaboration areas with firepits, hammocks, bocce ball court, a conference facility, and covered parking.
