Legendary Texas musician Randy Rogers is thrilled to announce his new venture as owner of Lost & Found — a brand-new rooftop bar in his homebase of New Braunfels, Texas. With its grand opening set for this September, the city’s first-ever rooftop bar will fulfill a longtime dream for the Randy Rogers Band frontman, who took a hands-on role in creating the distinct look, feel, and sound of both floors of the two-level space.
“Over the last 25 years of touring, I have experienced some of the greatest rooftops, cocktails, and eats around the country,” says Rogers. “I handpicked what I liked the most and am excited to bring these flavors and experiences to New Braunfels. This is a project I believe in and put my heart into, and I’m proud to own this business.”
With a personally curated menu focused on elevated bar foods — including plenty of healthy options — Lost & Found will open at 11 a.m. daily and provide lunch and dinner service. A prime spot for watching live sports, the family-friendly establishment will offer one-of-a-kind experiences on each floor, including classic features like a fully loaded jukebox as well as a courtyard area complete with misters and heaters. Along with its top-notch wine list, Lost & Found will also feature a private whiskey room for tastings of top-shelf spirits.
Named after a song penned by Rogers at the age of 18 in nearby San Marcos — a heartbreak anthem that’s since become a major live favorite for Randy Rogers Band fans — Lost & Found is a labor of love three years in the making. After purchasing the space and starting the blueprint from scratch, Rogers joined forces with his restaurant partners Cody Reimer and Slate Angel as well as Woolsey Design Build, Schumann Consulting, interior designer Brittany Wheeler, and architecture firm Point B Design to bring his vision to life.
“We pulled out all of the stops for this!” says Rogers, who extends a heartfelt thanks to the city of New Braunfels. “The New Braunfels downtown community is growing and we're proud to be on the cusp of this new era.”
The latest in Rogers’ ever-growing list of exciting business ventures, Lost & Found will open its doors soon after the Randy Rogers Band celebrates the 20th anniversary of their acclaimed breakthrough album Rollercoaster. In addition to the release of a newly remastered and resequenced edition of the seminal LP (August 23), the six-piece powerhouse is now on the road for a whirlwind tour of their native Texas and beyond, including select dates with A-list acts like Parker McCollum, Dierks Bentley, Flatland Cavalry, and Ian Munsick.

With plans to expand and open additional locations for Lost & Found, Rogers has emerged as one of Country music’s most forward-thinking businessmen over the last decade. While earning his name as one of the Lone Star State’s most accomplished singer/songwriters in recent history — and heading up one of the country’s most dynamic live acts — he’s taken the helm as owner of San Marcos’ Cheatham Street Warehouse (the iconic music venue where Rogers got his start) and become a partner in both Roanoke ChopShop Live and Whitewater Amphitheater. Over the years, he’s also teamed up with his wife Chelsea for the opening of River Rose Boutique (a two-location women’s retail store in Lubbock and New Braunfels) and Le Petit Sweet (a downtown New Braunfels shop specializing in nostalgic and trendy candies). Additionally, Rogers has joined several friends in launching Bahnbrëcker (a whiskey company whose first release was a Hefeweizen whiskey called Slow River Blend) and invested in the Cleburne Railroaders (a minor-league baseball team in his hometown of Cleburne).
