There will also be pops of color from lighting and local art mixed. Gonzales describes the decor of the bar and restaurant as "organic," with wood floors, dark wood tones, concrete and steel counter tops. "We want to take that same vibe, that same love and create an all-inclusive space." "The thing that was beautiful about Hustle was the massive diversity of age, race, gender, non-gender, everyone came," Moody says. Once a month on Sundays, the duo hosted Hustle Tea Dance, a daytime dance party at Kobalt, a karaoke bar nearby. Gonzales and Moody had been working together long before they decided to open a bar. "And because this is me and Matt's first restaurant, we are excited to show the community what we can do." Why they're creating 'an all-inclusive space' "It's a weird way to open a business but it's a way to open the business," Gonzales says. They hope to open for dine-in toward the end of September. While the finishing touches are added to the decor and because of the ongoing safety concerns of the coronavirus pandemic, Gonzales and Moody plan to open the restaurant initially just for takeout. It will also offer beer, cocktails and host live DJ's once gatherings are permitted. Industry will serve burgers, chicken strips and other "culinary riffs on everything you already love," Moody says.
