New Restaurants & Bars Opening in Dallas–Fort Worth — Updated Weekly
Dallas–Fort Worth opens more new restaurants and bars than any other Texas metro, and nearly every one of them appears in public TABC license filings weeks or months before opening day. This page lists the newest licensed venues across Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Rockwall, Ellis, Johnson and Kaufman counties, sourced directly from state records and refreshed every Monday. Whether you are watching for the next Deep Ellum bar, a Frisco steakhouse, or a Fort Worth brunch spot, the filings surface it first. And if you sell to restaurants — food distribution, point of sale, kitchen equipment, payroll or insurance — every venue here is a prospective account that has not yet chosen its vendors.
