Check Out The Menu For Night Heron, Now Open In Montrose

Night Heron, the brand new bar and eatery from Agricole Hospitality, has officially opened its doors in Montrose.

The restaurant opened in a hurry at 1601 West Main Street, just a little over a month after it was announced. Agricole Hospitality co-owner and Coltivare chef Ryan Pera has long been a Montrose resident, and named Night Heron for the birds that nest in the decades-old oak trees on North and South Boulevards. The bar plans to offer a neighborhood vibe with exciting food and a solid menu of drinks.

To lead the kitchen, Pera and Weber tapped Jacob Pate, a former line cook at Coltivare and, most recently, sous chef at Nobie’s. Pate will oversee a menu of simple plates, ranging from Gulf clams served Singaporean-style in fermented black bean sauce, chiles, tomatoes, and mint to a 44 Farms burger topped with smoked cheddar. Most excitingly, the most expensive item on the menu, a slow-roasted jerk chicken dish served with kohlrabi and pickled pineapple, tops out at $16.

Cocktail guru Julie Rogers was in charge of developing the bar’s cocktail menu, which offers a selection of “drinks [that] are the canon of America’s classic drinking culture.” As such, familiar libations like the Salty Dog are given ingredient upgrades (think fresh honeysuckle and Himalayan pink salt). There’s also a brief menu of dessert drinks, including a frozen riff on Vietnamese iced coffee made with rum, coconut molasses, and palm sugar.

Night Heron is now officially open for cocktail and dinner service. It will be open from 2 p.m. to midnight on the weekdays, 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Fridays, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to midnight on Sunday.
