Lisa and Elia “Tom” Georgalis, owners of Nikki Greek Bistro & Lounge, are launching a brand-new concept called The Devonshire Club, opening Friday, November 14, 2025. Located at 5757 W. Lovers Lane, where Nikki Greek Bistro operated, the restaurant will transition from its Greek fine dining atmosphere and menu into a welcoming, lively neighborhood bar and lounge.
Named after the surrounding Devonshire neighborhood, the new restaurant stemmed from a desire to build something that is guided by the area and belongs to the community. The owners’ goal is a restaurant with a lively neighborhood feel where people can linger and enjoy great food, drinks, and time with family and friends.
The Georgalis family partnered with Chef Jacob Williamson, a seasoned Dallas chef known for his globally inspired and elevated style, to develop the menu, which is designed to be sharable. The menu offers new American lounge fare with global influences, blending Americana, Asian, and French inspirations, and a touch of Greek flair.
Guests can look forward to an assortment of dishes, from the Spicy Tuna Tartare with potato pavé and piment d’espelette, to the Mini Saganaki Burger, featuring TX Wagyu, halloumi, arugula, tomato jam, and oregano dijonnaise. Other standouts include the Smoked Salmon Rillettes served with house-made spoon-shaped crackers, Duck Confit Quesadilla with brie and tart cherry, and Tom’s Fries with béchamel, feta, Fresno peppers, and cilantro. Don’t miss dessert like J. Rae’s Cheesecake, crafted by Chef Jacob’s wife, Audrey Williamson, owner of J. Rae’s Bakery, located just across Lovers Lane in Devonshire. When guests sit down, they can enjoy a small bowl of popcorn dusted with Chef Jacob’s proprietary seasoning blend.
The beverage program curates flavor pairings and seasonally inspired cocktails to complement the menu. The Devonshire Club will also feature a daily happy hour from 3 to 7 p.m., six days a week with special drink and food to create the perfect happy hour experience.
The Devonshire Club will remain open until 2 a.m. on weekends, offering a mix of elevated bar and lounge experiences, including cocktails, billiards, shuffleboard, and darts. The restaurant will also feature TVs to watch a game with friends.
