Private Parties

You can rent out an entire movie theater at this Garland entertainment mecca

Like everything else, holiday parties look a little different this year. Luckily, Strike + Reel in Garland has a solution where you and your guests can celebrate together safely while still having a ton of fun.

We all know that the best way to watch a movie is on the big screen, but the safest way is to have the theater exclusively to your group for a private watch party.

For the starting price of only $99, you and up to 30 guests can spread out in front of the gigantic screen, kick back in the heated, reclining loungers, and watch a Fan Favorite flick like Elf, White Christmas, Love Actually, or Scrooged (see the ever-changing lineup here). New movies are added by the end of Monday each week, so keep an eye out for your favorite film.

Of course, you can also dine right in your seat with a menu developed especially for easy nibbling in the dark.

Strike + Reel's modern American kitchen serves dishes prepared by experienced chefs, and its specialties span comfort-food classics to street tacos and charcuterie topped off with a roster of sweet desserts. Complement your meal with a selection of 24 draft beers, 12 tapped wines, and hand-mixed craft cocktails.

If you'd like to keep the party going after the movie or burn up some energy before it starts, tack on some time at the eight separated VIP bowling lanes. There are five private rooms where you and your guests can enjoy a full-on buffet if you choose, or simply socialize away from any crowds.

In accordance with government regulations, Strike + Reel is taking precautions during this time including:

enhanced sanitizing stations for guests
sanitizing theaters after each showing
contactless menu QR code or one-time use menus
individually portioned food
single-use napkins and utensils
team members wear face coverings at all times, frequently wash hands, and wear gloves

To learn more about booking your own private showing or party, simply submit a request here and one of the sales managers will be in touch to take care of all the planning.

You can rent out a whole theater starting at only $99.

Indoor amusement park chain to launch in Denton with restaurant bar

Launch

undefined

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.”
