Located at the "Gateway to Southtown," the Historic and Majestic Firehouse #7 is home to Battalion. After a nearly two year renovation, "The Rock" has been restored as the crown jewel of Southtown. Overlooking the spectacular downtown cityscape and the famous Tower of Americas, Battalion's contemporary design merges perfectly alongside the historic building's strong, yet weathered 1920's craftsmanship. Chef Davis has created an extensive menu of fresh pastas, char-grilled meats, stunning vegetable dishes and Italian classics. Complimenting the menu is a comprehensive wine list and a refreshingly original cocktail program.

    We were celebrating our anniversary and felt special from the moment we walked in the door. The food was absolutely delicious and special, and we appreciated the presentation and small plates. We split the octopus appetizer and it was almost a work of art, as well as being delicious and special. I had the scallops and my husband had monk fish - both were cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. We split the butter cake for dessert and it topped off the perfect meal. Would highly recommend Bliss to anyone who wants a special meal served with impeccable service.

    The team at this location was incredible- everyone was so attentive, and paid attention to their guests. Food was delicious as always, consistent- and had great interaction with all of the staff, from the bar to the dining area. This location is definitely way better experience than in my hometown. And it’s shows, management kudos to you for leading with hospitality!
