Jaquval Brewing Company is now open in Bishop Arts

Amy Wallace Cowan and Jason Roberts have spent more than 15 years creating the Bishop Arts District’s famous street parties and are the masterminds behind Oddfellows, a cafe; Revelers Hall, a jazz bar; and AJ Vagabonds, a retail store. They are excited to now bring Bishop Arts a new nanobrewery and pub (Jaquval) and deli (Trades) to enhance the district’s current retail offerings. Located at 312 W.

Oddfellows has just debuted a new aperitivo cocktail menu with six new Spritzer cocktails created to get you through the Texas summer.  Each of these refreshing beverages are $11 each and can be enjoyed inside the restaurant, as a part of your al fresco dining experience on the patio, or at one of the outside-window seats by the coffee bar. By continuing to serve top notch beverages and inspired, farm fresh food, Oddfellows continues to fulfill their vision to be a hub for community activity and a vibrant cornerstone of the streetcar-stop-turned-district as they move into their thirteenth year of service.

Encina Opens Oct 9th

Encina – a warm and inviting neighborhood restaurant offering New American cuisine will open to the public on Friday, October 9 for happy hour and dinner Monday through Saturday (with Saturday/Sunday brunch service in coming weeks).

Located at 614 W. Davis Street in the beloved neighborhood of Oak Cliff in Dallas, Encina was created by chef/co-owner, Matt Balke (formerly Executive Chef of Bolsa) along with co-owner Corey McCombs (formerly front of house at Stephan Pyles, FT33, Flora Street and SMOKE) to offer an uncomplicated yet adventurous menu with influences from Texas, California and the South. With a very deliberate and thoughtful focus on seasonality and fresh ingredients, the name Encina is Spanish for Holm Oak – which is not only a type of tree but also the original name of Balke’s hometown of Uvalde, Texas. This is where his appreciation of quality, authentic ingredients and locally sourced produce and protein were born.
