DALLAS, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – CRAFT Restaurant & Beer Market has officially opened its first U.S. location in Dallas’ Preston Center, bringing a 500-seat, high-energy dining and social destination featuring over 100 taps, a chef-driven menu, and one of the area’s first rooftop patios. CRAFT’s expansion into Texas marks a major milestone for the brand as it brings its community-driven hospitality model to the U.S. market. “Dallas is an exciting market for us, and opening here represents an important next step for the brand,” said founder PJL’Heureux. “We’ve created a space that’s designed to be versatile and welcoming—whether it’s a quick lunch, rooftop brunch, or a large group celebration.”
Built for Scale: 500 Seats, Rooftop Patio, and Group Dining at the Core. Designed as a true social hub, the Preston Center location accommodates more than 500 guests across indoor and outdoor spaces, including a rooftop patio that anchors the experience. The restaurant is purpose-built for everything from everyday dining to corporate events, private parties, and large group bookings.
The menu balances approachable favorites with globally inspired dishes, including Miso Salmon, Korean Sticky Ribs, Brewmaster Chicken Sandwich, and Crispy Salmon Sushi. The beverage program features over 100 taps alongside a curated cocktail list, including Strawberry Mezcalrita, Oak-Aged Old Fashioned, Espresso Shaft, and Rosé Lemonade.

As part of its commitment to community engagement, CRAFT has partnered with Heaven’s 27 Foundation. Through this initiative, $1 from every CRAFT x Dallas Star Allumni Marty Turco’s Kingsville Brewery Light Eh! Lager purchased will be donated to the foundation, supporting its charitable programs and ongoing community impact efforts.
