We stopped by Glass Uptown last night to check out the unveiling of their large patio club that was billed as a rooftop bar and called Revive. The night would be catered by Nick and Sam’s, DJ’s and cocktails (one of our favorite combinations). But as the winds picked up so did the awnings outside, leaving the party somewhat lacking for its own premier.
Instead, check out Revive this Friday for a sneak peek soft opening.

We followed the pop-up charity fundraising lounge 828 over the past few weeks and it seemed only appropriate that we bring you the final photos for the bar from last Saturday evening.
The lounge that was temporarily located at 828 West Davis in North Oak Cliff enjoyed a busy three week run that was hosted by Cedars Social’s Michael Martensen and managed nightly by the unofficial Oak Cliff ambassador, Rob Shearer. The bar was run nightly by Martensen and Brian McCullough of the soon-to-open Standard Pour. Guest bartenders from across DFW filtered in nightly to lend a hand for the cause. Continue reading

It’s that magical time of year when children make their wish lists, special outfits are purchased in anticipation, and grown men dream of country gravy. Yes, it’s beginning to look a lot like Texas Chicken Fried Steak Day, the one day a year when being naughty is oh-so-nice.
If you’ve never heard of Texas Chicken Fried Steak Day, don’t worry. This is the first official year of the esteemed official recognition. Spearheaded by Jeffrey Yarbrough, CEO of bigInk PR and Marketing, the hope of putting one of the Lone Star State’s most iconic meals on a pedestal became reality when State Representative Ralph Sheffield, Speaker of the House Joe Straus, and Chief Clerk Robert Haney signed the resolution on May 30, 2011.
