    Dallas pool bar Lee Harvey's Dive In opens in time for summer splashing

    This is some propitious timing: Lee Harvey's Dive In, a new outdoor bar outfitted with built-in swimming pool, has arrived in the Cedars neighborhood, next door to its sibling and beloved dive bar Lee Harvey's.

    This urban oasis opened on June 18, in a corner lot at 1315 Beaumont St. that's been empty for nearly 20 years. At a time when the forecast is three digits indefinitely, it surely feels like a godsend.

    The Dive In is centered on an expansive 30-by-60-foot pool, surrounded by container bars, lounge chairs, umbrellas, and cabanas. It boasts a charming retro vibe, with a prototypical '50s color scheme of aqua — the color of its logo rendered in a handwritten-style cursive font — and red, which surfaces on the cheerful red-and-white-striped canvas curtains that set off each cabana.

    Lee Harvey's owner Seth Smith was an early settler in Dallas' Cedars District, just south of downtown, when he opened Lee Harvey's there in 2003. It's won acclaim for its super-relaxed atmosphere and its massive front yard patio, rife with picnic benches and strings of festive lights. He's been visioning the idea of having another outdoor-driven concept featuring a pool since at least 2014.

    "We've been playing around with the idea for years, and went back and forth with the city, but finally got it done," Smith says. "It gets so hot in the summers, and our summer crowd at Lee Harvey's atrophies a little bit. We're hoping there'll be a synergistic effect between the two."

    The pool is open daily from 11 am-10 pm; it's kid-friendly until 5 pm, when it switches to 21 and up, with DJs on Friday and Saturday nights.

    Patrons can book a day pass — $15 for adults, $5 for 12 and under — or buy a season membership: $350 for singles, or $500 for a "family" pass allowing two adults and children under 12. The season pass also affords access to the cabanas, which are not open to day-pass holders.

    There's a plan down the road to serve a dedicated menu of bites such as truffle popcorn, shrimp cocktail, hot dogs, pulled pork sliders, and chicken & beef skewers. For now, the kitchen is serving chicken club wraps and you can always order food from Lee Harvey's next door. The bar is definitely open, with a full menu of poolside cocktails.

    Indoor amusement park chain to launch in Denton with restaurant bar

    There's a whole lotta fun coming to Denton, via Launch Entertainment, an indoor amusement park chain that is opening a location at the Golden Triangle Mall, at 2201 S. I-35.

    Founded in Rhode Island in 2012, Launch started out as a trampoline park, then expanded with games and attractions, as well as an adjoining restaurant and bar for the parents. They've since expanded to 29 locations in 15 states, including Texas where they made their debut in June 2025 with a location in Lewisville; there's a Houston location in the works, as well.

    At 30,000 square feet, the new Denton location will be smaller than the Lewisville location, which spans 47,000 square feet. The Denton location will feature attractions such as duckpin bowling, arcade games, indoor trampolines, virtual reality, obstacle courses, and more.

    The location will also house a branch of their Krave Restaurant and Bar, serving American fare such as pizzas, chicken tenders, nachos, salads, buffalo wings, and pretzels. A full bar will serve cocktails plus local and seasonal beers.

    Bringing the concept to Denton is entrepreneur Satwinderpal Singh, and development is already underway.

    “After spending more than a decade in customer-facing businesses, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is for families to have places where they can truly connect and have fun,” Singh says in a rlease. “Bringing Launch to Denton is about creating a space where kids, parents, and friends can make lasting memories together. I’m proud to invest in this community and offer something new and easily accessible.”

    Singh brings over 15 years of experience in the gas station and quick-service restaurant industries, where he developed a strong foundation in operations management, customer service, and team leadership.

    His business background is rooted in serving local communities, and his move into the family entertainment sector reflects a commitment to offering DFW families a vibrant and engaging destination. Outside of work, Singh values spending time with his family—an influence that shapes his focus on creating experiences centered on connection and quality time.

    “We’re excited to Launch’s location at Golden Triangle Mall and a dedicated operator like Satwinderpal leading the charge,” says Launch CEO Craig Erlich. “His operational expertise, community focus, and passion for delivering memorable experiences make him the ideal partner to bring our vision to life in Denton.”
