HOUSTON — Meow Wolf's fifth permanent installation is expected to open up in Houston's Fifth Ward sometime this year. The company is aiming to drive up hype around the new installment by announcing it will feature a 'surreal' restaurant and bar called Cowboix Hevven.
"Cowboix Hevven promises to transport guests into a surreal dive bar in the afterlife," Meow Wolf said in a release.
The restaurant and bar, which Meow Wolf said will be the installation's centerpiece will be filled with immersive art and a sculpture paying tribute to one of the company's founders, the late Matt King.
"Cowboix Hevven is a love letter from a Texan dreamer," said Cole Bee Wilson, the project's lead artist and creative director. "It’s a psychedelic space that puts the 'all' in y'all and serves as a self-referential, autobiographical take on my Texan imagination. There’s a seat at the bar for all y’all here in Cowboix Hevven."
The food and drinks are meant to "enhance (and reflect)" the installment's atmosphere.
The overall theme of Meow Wolf Houston has yet to be announced, but the company said it will be made public "soonish."
