White Rhino, expected to open sometime in the next few weeks, will offer mezcal, craft beer, tropical drinks and an array of food trucks in a plant-drenched atmosphere at 319 Milby Street. True to its name, the bar plans to donate a portion of its sales to conservation efforts, specifically organizations working with endangered species like white rhinoceroses. The bar takes its inspiration in part from Tulum, the ultra-hip but laid-back Mexican beach town where a lack of infrastructure has led restaurants and hotels to turn to solar electricity, sustainable cooking and composting, water collection and other eco-friendly measures. At White Rhino, that translates into touches like lots of air-purifying greenery inside, special paint on the walls that helps reduce carbon dioxide in the air, a glass-crushing machine that will turn liquor bottles into sand for the bar’s patio, and a reverse osmosis water generator that pulls humidity from the Houston air and converts it to drinking water. The building is also home to a majestic old agave plant that White Rhino’s owners have taken care to preserve. Co-owners Bobby De La Rosa and Rodrigo Salinas have tapped general manager John Stewart, previously of Wooster’s Garden, to create a menu of cocktails that include tiki classics like the Sufferin’ Bastard, made with bourbon and ginger beer, and the Jungle Bird, with pineapple, dark rum and Campari, alongside riffs on other classics, like a mezcal margarita. Grant Keaton of Cambio Culinary Concepts, who has worked at other Houston-area bars like Lazy Oaks and Buffalo Bayou Brewery, helped round out the project When it opens, White Rhino hopes to host a diverse rotation of food trucks. Initial hours will be Tuesday to Sunday 4 p.m. to midnight. Once the bar expands its hours, it’ll also serve coffee and light bites. Stay tuned for a firm opening date.
