Extensive global beer selection & pub fare in lively pub setting
"After 25 years in business, Addison’s Flying Saucer Draught Emporium will close for good on December 31; I was struck by its place as one of the Metroplex’s first craft beer bars and by the beer hall’s signature offering of more than 100 rotating taps of craft brews. The closure was announced on the bar’s Facebook page, which said the Addison Saucer would permanently close after last call on Thursday, December 31 and that the team chose to celebrate what they’d achieved. Founder Shannon Wynne told the Dallas Morning News he is opting not to renew the lease and that plans to build an outdoor patio were rendered untenable by City of Addison parking regulations. The Addison location — the second to open after Wynne’s original Fort Worth spot, founded in 1994 — was also known for its UFO Club, in which beer lovers earn personalized golden “saucers” for sampling many of the hundreds of beers; saucer-owners have until January 15 to pick up trophies that were at the Addison location. The Fort Worth original and the Saucers at Lake Ray Hubbard and Cypress Waters will remain open." - Brittanie Shey
"A downtown draught-focused bar whose frontage along Main Street is included in a temporary street-closure initiative that will create expanded outdoor dining and drinking space from Rusk to Commerce through March 2022." - Brittanie Shey
"A Fort Worth–born beer bar is polling patrons in the presidential race by selling red and blue pint glasses—$15 in-store and $20 online—embroidered with caricatures of the candidates that customers choose based on who they voted for. One glass labels the Democratic candidate as “Stuttering Joe,” while the other reads “versus a very ‘stable genius,’” and the designs also include an explicit image of the parties’ logos in a sexualized pose. The cups, promoted on the bar’s Instagram, echo past public mockery of the Democratic candidate’s childhood stutter (which he has discussed publicly) and similar comments from campaign surrogates; the owner, Shannon Wynne, told the Dallas Morning News the designs were intended not to stir controversy and that “they had to be equally bad.” After about 2,500 patrons participated via cup purchases, the bar reported the Republican candidate leading in its informal poll." - Amy McCarthy
