Well known nightlife impresario duo Dan Murry and Peter Novotny have decided to move their act from Dallas' Deep Ellum over to the Bishop Arts District with the opening of Trapeze, a French-inspired restaurant.
Murry and Novotny describe their new venture as an old-fashioned bohemian artist enclave, the type of establishment that feels more like a colorful, eccentric studio hideout rather than a neighborhood bar. The menu will be constructed around classic French dishes along with influences from France’s former colonies, particularly Moroccan flavors.

Trapeze will be located at 240 W. 8th Street in a renovated bungalow. Novotny explained to CultureMap that far from a simple turnkey job, the Bishop Arts bungalow was basically rebuilt with the renovation including the replacement of the exterior. Due to the property being located in a conservation overlay, alterations of the exterior were subject to review and had to comply with standards of design set forth by the City of Dallas historic preservation as well as building inspection rules.
Murry and Novotny are noted in Deep Ellum for their highly successful other establishments Ruins and Armoury D.E. They anticipate a spring debut and say they expect to reveal a more detailed menu along with reservation information within the coming weeks. They have high hopes of an April opening assuming construction and permitting go according to schedule.
