Griffen wrote:OK folks, I can give you the backstory on the venue. I decided to go have lunch there today since I hadn't been there in awhile. I wanted to be sure there were no 30.06s and 51% issues to avoid. As I pull up Las Colinas Blvd, I first thing I see is that the sign has been changed. My familiar "Texas Bar and Grill" has been changed to "The Cellar". For you fans of the venue, yes, its a sad passing.
The place has completely changed looks. Gone are the rusic barnboard walls and beer-stained wooden floors. Its now a more contemporary and modern look. Its still an open restaurant with the outdoor patio seating next to the canal. The menu is burgers, sammys, wraps, and salads. Ironically enough, the pool table is still in the back. It appears they are set up with a small stage for happy hour bands I assume.
I spoke with the owner and he gave me some background. Apparently TB&G closed last summer, and he went through extensive renovation. He told me stories about removing the walls and floors. (The walls are now adorning some new bar in Rockwall) The Cellar opened on Superbowl weekend in February. I let him know we are considering his place for lunch, and he offered to set up a drink special for us, rope off a section of restaurant, set up a menu discount, etc. if we give him some advance notice. (BTW, I do have his card and menu if you're interested) He seemed like an owner who is interested in attracting this group to his place, and is willing to set up whatever we wanted to gain our business.
The venue is not too much further from Elm Fork than Micardo Juarez - its just in the opposite direcition towards highway 114.
On a personal note, I've been going to the old TB&G for the last 20 years since moving to Dallas. The place has always been known for getting an ice cold beer and a good sandwich whenever I worked in or stopped thru Las Colinas. I've spend many Friday happy hours unwinding from work, loosening the tie (when we wore them), and contributing to the stained floor I'm sure. For the Western boot wearing crowd - you would have fit right in and feel right at home. I am sorry to see its passing.
