Dallas Has Two Of The U.S.’s Top Southern Restaurants, Lockhart Opens Up A Location In Arlington’s Texas Live! Development And Much, Much More.
...Meanwhile, in news that can literally be described as neat, a Texas whiskey distillery is opening its first bar in Arlington. The Waco-based Balcones Distilling is joining the lineup of vendors at the Texas Live! entertainment complex that’s set to open for business this weekend. The bar will feature a variety of whiskey-based cocktails, made with the distillers’ selection single malt and rye whiskeys, just to name a couple.
Another exciting newcomer joining the fold out at Texas Live! is Lockhart Smokehouse, which is also opening its latest location inside the new Globe Life Field-adjacent complex starting on Thursday, August 9. Following the barbecue favorite’s Oak Cliff and Downtown Plano locations, this will be the company’s third outpost.

If Texas Live! succeeds, it does so by helping tourists capture a taste of a stereotypic land that exists only on TV and in Nashville bro-country songs. Instead of highlighting North Texas businesses, most of the food and drink joints hail from other parts of the state or seem like focus-group-conjured “concepts” that use celebrities and/or national brands as a draw. The only thing missing from a traveler’s Lone Star State fever dream is the HGTV Fixer Upper couple hawking t-shirts inside a replica of Waco’s Magnolia Farms silos.
...In all this glam, the collaborative ownership of Texas Live! seems to have ignored the millions of people right outside their own backyard, but perhaps the gamble to trap transfixed tourists will make up the shortfall.
