If you have any extended dining history in Dallas, there’s a good chance you have been in the company of one or more Tarantino. Chris, Patrick and Matthew Tarantino are all trained chefs who in the late 1990s and early 2000s were creating food in the kitchens of The Mansion…
Whiskey Hatchet, a new ax-throwing bar in Deep Ellum, will open October 2.
Six months deep into this pandemic, there’s no question about it: In terms of economic fallout, bars have been among the hardest-hit businesses.

Thunderbird Station, a new restaurant by the owner behind sibling bars Double Wide and Single Wide, is finally open in Deep Ellum.

Stay a while at Open Palette, have a marg in a can by the pool, or make a cocktail to save the bees!
More than two years ago, we were writing about how one of the hottest brewers of Deep Ellum Brewing Co. left to go “gypsy.” It was then that we got to taste the work of Barrett Tillman in his very own brews under the label BlackMan Brewing, commonly from bottles…

Courtney Luscher could’ve relaxed with husband Brian Luscher after they closed The Grape Restaurant in East Dallas. She did for a bit, but then she got back to work: This week, the sommelier launched The Lusch List, a newsletter and blog designed to give people curated lists of wine they should…
The first time I met John Reardon, founder of Deep Ellum Brewing Co., was in the summer of 2011. It was a hot, bright day, and he was balanced atop a giant wooden spool outside his brewery, drenched in sweat, shirt off, headphones on. While in the midst of building…
Before now, the televisions were dark, the patios were deserted, the mason jars sat empty and the regulars stayed home. That all changed Friday. Stan’s Blue Note, the Lower Greenville Avenue staple that opened in 1952, is welcoming customers again. Mid-August, Mike McRae, the proprietor of Stan’s, which is one…
The Machete cocktail from Mexican Sugar is a spicy and refreshing summer sipper.
With more than 200 people on the call, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission held an emergency Zoom webinar at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday to pass three amendments to regulations that clear a path for bars to reopen under Gov.

Although her face was covered by her mask, Natasha DeHart’s eyes showed how she felt. The message on the mask says the rest: Get Bendt. On the day the second shutdown in Texas was announced, she “was at about a 10-out-of-10 anger level all day,” she says. DeHart is the…
Just two weeks before the ninth annual Big Texas Beer Fest’s scheduled date of March 27, Chad and Nellie Montgomery, the husband-and-wife team who founded the event, postponed it until July. They didn’t know at the time that it was the first of many challenges they’d face trying to run…
It was an audacious move, honestly. Luring pandemic-weary citizens with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos beer and corn dogs at noon on a Wednesday, during prime Zoom call time. Regardless, Martin House Brewing Co. in Fort Worth was up to more of their creative shenanigans with the release of Fiery Crunchy Cheesie…
