Guests at the Encore rooftop in daytime
About Encore

Three floors, one welcome

One address in downtown Waco, three different nights. A new restaurant rising at street level, the long hang on two, and golden hour on the roof.

The story

We built a night, not just a venue

A great night out rarely stays in one room. It starts with dinner, picks up over a cocktail, and ends somewhere with a view. Encore stacks all three inside the Hippodrome, a Waco landmark with more than a century of show nights behind it.

Executive Chef Cayman Colunga leads the kitchen, sending elevated Southern plates to every floor, and the bar program gets the same attention. Old building, new energy, and a welcome that carries from the front door to the roof.

The house rules

Three rules, every floor

Make it good

A chef led kitchen, a real bar program, no shortcuts. If it's not good, it's not on the menu.

Make it welcoming

First date or fortieth birthday, you get the same welcome at the same door.

Make it memorable

A night here should end with a story. We build the room for it.
