Dallas is losing one of its best.
Kate Weiser Chocolate announced yesterday that it is closing after 12 years, citing the seasonal nature of the business, rising labor costs, and the financial weight of keeping an artisan operation running in an increasingly difficult economy.

Hickory House BBQ, which has operated from its Riverfront Boulevard address since 1952, has built a reputation on that kind of consistency.

Rye, the chef-driven American restaurant on Lower Greenville Avenue, will close later this spring, bringing an end to its current chapter in Dallas dining. The restaurant’s final service is scheduled for March 7, 2026, after which its adjoining cocktail bar, Apothecary, will expand to occupy the entire space.
The decision reflects a planned shift by the restaurant group to separate the two concepts more clearly. Rye and Apothecary currently share kitchen operations and infrastructure, a setup that has limited each concept’s ability to evolve independently. By closing the restaurant and enlarging the bar, the team aims to give Apothecary dedicated room to grow and refine its identity.

After nearly a decade of music, themed pop-ups, wild nights, and unforgettable memories, The Whippersnapper will be closing its doors for the final time on May 3rd.
Since opening its doors in January 2016, The Whippersnapper quickly became a fixture in Dallas nightlife. What started as a quirky neighborhood bar evolved into something far greater — a cultural touchstone known for its immersive pop-up experiences, creative cocktails, spontaneous dance floors, and unapologetic sense of fun. From “The Whip’s” original speakeasy vibe to its full-blown transformations into everything from The Simpsons’ Moe’s Tavern to The Office’s Dunder Mifflin bar, it never stopped pushing the envelope — or throwing a good party.

Lawry’s will provide outplacement assistance to co-workers to help them transition to other opportunities.
