CRAFT Restaurant & Beer Market is excited to announce its first U.S. location, set to open in early 2026 in Preston Center, Dallas, Texas. This marks the company’s highly anticipated entry into the American market, building on a strong presence and success across Canada.
In 2019, CRAFT founder PJ L’Heureux partnered with Tom Gaglardi, owner of both the Dallas Stars and Moxies Restaurants. This collaboration set the stage for CRAFT’s expansion into the U.S. market. With Gaglardi’s extensive business experience, deep understanding of the market, and strong community ties, Dallas emerged as the ideal choice for CRAFT’s first location south of the border.
Known for its vibrant atmosphere, unparalleled selection of craft beers, and innovative food and cocktail menus, CRAFT is bringing its signature community-focused restaurant concept to the heart of Dallas County. The flagship U.S. location will feature over 100 beers on tap – including local Texas brews – along with great cocktails, wine, and a globally-inspired menu.
The Dallas location (5974 West Northwest Hwy) will comprise a state-of-the-art, 10,500 sq. ft. space designed in partnership with Canadian boutique interior design firm Way of Normal and local Texas firm ID Studio 4.
Diners can anticipate a modern, welcoming interior, with warm woods, industrial accents, and a massive 360-degree bar as its center. The space will also include a 5,250 sq. ft. rooftop patio, complete with a full bar, cozy booth seating, lush greenery, and a games area, offering the perfect atmosphere for both casual gatherings and special celebrations.
