    Eastbound and Down Icehouse Mural

    East Bound and Down Ice House – East Dallas

    What’s old is new again at this Smokey and the Bandit themed bar slated to open late April 2016. The décor will play tribute to the 70’s movie starring Burt Reynolds. The exterior wall of the bar will feature a mural of the stagecoach and horses that were on the side of Jerry Reed’s truck in the film. The large backyard space will include a patio and stage for live acoustic performances. Patrons will enjoy sipping on nothing-fancy cocktails and nearly a dozen craft beers.

    The Goat Ranch – Fair Park

    The Goat RanchFair Park is home to this new country-themed bar with a driving range out back. Boasting a backyard of broken down automobiles, this bar will give patrons the opportunity to release some tension as they launch golf balls with baseball bats and tennis racquets at the busted automobiles on one of their 15 hitting bays. The new space will also feature a rustic beer garden and various billiards, vintage arcade games, tetherball, ping pong and basketball. The bar took over the space of a former meat company and will be decorated throughout, from the patio to the bathroom, with beer signs, taxidermy and hand welded furniture. Guests will have their choice of beverages from 32 Texas craft beers on tap to a full liquor bar. In lieu of a kitchen, the Goat Ranch will be welcoming food trucks to satisfy the hunger cravings of their patrons. Phase 2 of development, includes the completion of the driving range, and is expected to be complete in the summer.
