NEW OPENINGS

Coal Vines Downtown will open in two weeks with a full bar (yasss), a 45-minute lunch option, and a 400 calorie pizza!

Biertgarten on Lamar is NOW OPEN across from the Omni Hotel on South Lamar!  Stop in for beers and brats!

Fort Worth will be getting two new concepts in early 2016–a Dallas favorite Meso Maya (Kress Building, 604 Main Street), and a new concept from the Firebird Restaurant Group, Tortaco (2829 Morton Street).  Meso Maya will offer Chef Nico’s Mexican-inspired menu and Tortaco will offer “a chef-driven menu … [and] a full bar with signature cocktails.”

NEW OFFERINGS

Max’s Wine Dive is now serving liquor!!!  I mean … it’s about damn time.  Stop in for their always-delicious fried chicken with a side of Old Fashioned!  (Stay tuned … I’ll be going in to try some of their cocktails later this month and will report back!)

Yard House (Addison) is celebrating its 21st birthday with a limited-release beer from Rogue Brewery.  Pop in starting December 7th to get your mitts on a pint of Rogue Spruce Tip IPA.

Paul Martin’s American Grill is now offering a 3-course prime rib special every Sunday, all day!  For $25 diners will get a green salad, prime rib with mashed potatoes, and homemade ice cream.

EUREKA! On the heels of Ida Claire’s Saturday night brunch, Eureka! in West Village will now offer SUNDAY NIGHT BRUNCH!  Think Huevos Rancheros, Creole Benedict, and Bananas Foster Crunchy French Toast.  Since no brunch is complete without drinks (because really … brunch without alcohol is just a sad, late breakfast), they’ll offer $5 Mimosas and Bloody Marys alongside their craft beer and cocktail offerings.  Stop in Sundays 9pm-midnight for their brunch!

Dinner and a movie is so 2000.  Try brunch and a movie at LOOK Theater‘s restaurant, Ivy Kitchen with their new brunch offerings.  Think pairing their Buttermilk Pancakes served with APPLEwood smoked bacon then seeing “Steve Jobs”.  (Give it a second.)  They’ll also have select $3 drinks to go with brunch … so there’s that.  Brunch is served weekends 11am-3pm.

LIMITED TIME OFFERS

It’s November … so we’re hearing a lot about Christmas starting to early, people’s scraggly (gross*) beards, and also about some local businesses doing some badass things to raise money for prostate and testicular cancer awareness.

Greenville Avenue Pizza Company (GAPCo) and Blind Butcher teamed up and are offering a 12″ mozzarella, Bacon Bratwurst (from BB), and sauerkraut pizza for $20.  You don’t just get the pizza, though … $5 of it goes to Movember and then you get a “voucher for a free Bullzerk T-shirt and a coupon for tea at Plum Yoga.”  … the giving’s good through November.
