Huntsville’s newest restaurant to open is CO/OP Community Table Restaurant + Bar, and it’s definitely worth a visit (or two!). The new restaurant is located inside of the Downtown Embassy Suites Hotel and features a refined farmhouse-influenced design paired with elevated, southern ingredient-inspired dishes.

Executive Chef Luke Hawke (yes, the Chef Luke of Domaine South) has worked alongside Chef Marc Taft to curate a flavorful menu that fuses traditional cooking techniques with a modern flair in harmony with the season. Focusing on regionally inspired cuisine, the menu incorporates approachable ingredients that are regionally sourced.

bar & cocktail lineup

The bar features modern craft cocktails, local brews on tap and a chef curated wine list Curated by Chloe Smith, CO/OP offers up an all-star signature cocktails line-up. If you love pickled okra, we highly recommend CO/OP’s creative play on the traditional martini, the ‘Dirty South’ Martini. We also loved the Wild Horses which pairs a smokey mezcal with coconut milk.

The new space reflects the history of Huntsville with its warm aesthetic and thoughtful blend of modern design which includes a spacious covered patio (almost complete) and walk-up bar adjacent to the riverwalk. The patio will feature live music from popular and aspiring local talent.
