New restaurants like The Presley and others are opening throughout Liberty Station.

Named for his young daughter, Ty Hauter, owner of The Presley and CEO of Good Time Design, just had a soft opening for his cutting-edge outdoor restaurant offering al fresco dining. The new establishment inhabits the former Fireside by the Patio in the Arts District.

With more than 2,000 square feet of patio space showcasing abundant greenery, swinging benches, and pup-friendly seating, the new eatery will be a community-driven hub for family outings, happy hour hangouts and weekend brunching.

We wanted to put a spin on it, create something that would hold up over time, and maintain a higher-level for doing business, that was our first goal, said Hauter. We wanted to create a laid-back place, with reasonable pricing, a place for people to come to, or to host special events, where families can bring their kids and have a good time. Weve had a lot of success with that before, and were hoping to do the same at The Presley.

Good Time Design is the hospitality and entertainment group behind The Blind Burro, Moonshine Flats, and Moonshine Beach. Now with The Presley, Good Time adds a family-friendly addition to their group of social haunts and music venues. Future plans for The Presley, which opened July 22, call for integrating live music and DJs into its entertainment mix.

The Presleys menu, from Good Time Designs corporate chef Todd Nash, will range from salads and shared plates to flatbreads and sandwiches while the cocktails, created by Moonshine Flats Jack Washwell, will include drinks like a Dole Whip Mimosa and Lavender Gin Slushy.

Hauter talked about some of his restaurants other attractions and selling points.

We wanted to bring a relaxing environment that was a little more homespun with group swings outside, and some different areas of couches, where people could feel like theyre out on their front porch or in their backyard just hanging out, he said.

Above all, Hauter likes the synergy of The Presleys location.

Ive always admired the community inLibertyStation, he said. When this opportunity presented itself, it was a no-brainer for us. In my opinion, its an outstanding location, surrounded by fun and exciting businesses with lots of energy and foot traffic.
