    Opening News

    Mediterranean restaurant and nightlife spot moves into Dallas' Victory Park

    The Goat Dallas

    The Goat Dallas in Victory Park will have brunch.

    The Goat

    A new restaurant and bar is rolling the dice on Dallas' Victory Park: Called The Goat Dallas, it's a Euro-Mediterranean restaurant and nightlife experience, opening at the Link building at 2601 Olive St. #100, at the intersection of Harry Hines Boulevard.

    According to a release, it'll open in spring 2024.

    There is a Goat in Lakewood, but it's more of a dive bar. This Goat was founded in Tulsa in March 2020 by cousins and business partners James Alame and Nabil Alame, whose vision was a modern dining concept with international flair and a dynamic atmosphere. The Tulsa location has earned awards such as Best New Restaurant in Tulsa, and Best Bar & Lounge in Oklahoma.

    "Our vision for The Goat Dallas is to create a space where guests can indulge in exquisite cuisine, enjoy innovative cocktails, and immerse themselves in a lively atmosphere," James Alame says in a statement. "With our Euro-Mediterranean menu and upscale lounge ambiance, we're excited to offer a dining and nightlife experience unlike any other in Dallas."

    They're joined by Executive Chef Ozzy Samano, formerly of Bob’s Steak and Chophouse and also a guest chef at the PGA Masters tour in Augusta, Georgi; and and Chef Pascal Sanchez, a Michelin-starred French chef, with more than 30 years’ experience working in and managing an international roster of kitchens in France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

    They'll open initially for dinner, then add lunch and brunch, with dishes such as Lobster Organata, Dynamite Shrimp, and Baked Goat Cheese Dip, representing what Sanchez calls "a fusion of flavors and experiences."

    There will also be craft cocktails, live entertainment including DJs and performers on weekends, and an electric violinist on Saturdays. The 7,000 square-foot space will comprise an upstairs private lounge with a DJ booth overlooking the first floor.

    The release promises that the venue's upscale lounge vibe, delectable cuisine, and electrifying entertainment will make it a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike.

    There's a hot new holiday restaurant now open in a cool spot in downtown Dallas: Called Rudolph's Rinkside Cafe, it's a dining pop-up located at the first-ever CultureMap City Rink, presented by Verizon, at Main Street Garden in downtown Dallas.

    The cafe is a partnership between DRG Concepts, the Dallas-based restaurant group behind Wicked Butcher, Wild Salsa, and Chop House Burger; Downtown Dallas, Inc. (DDI); and CultureMap Dallas to celebrate the season with a culinary activation that serves rinkside food and drinks.

    Located in the center of Main Street Garden at 1902 Main St., the ice rink will be open from November 26 through January 5, 2026. A Tree Lighting Ceremony marked the official grand opening on November 28. Rudolph's Rinkside Cafe brings DRG’s signature hospitality outdoors with a warm, inviting café serving freshly made churros, Mexican hot chocolate, tacos, nachos, and chips & queso — the perfect fare for skaters and families coming to downtown to enjoy the holidays.

    “Downtown Dallas has always been at the center of our story,” says DRG Concepts CEO Nafees Alam in a statement. “With Rudolph’s Rinkside Café, we’re extending our love of downtown into an open-air fun activation of our culinary — combining food, community, and celebration in the heart of the city.

    An adjoining cocktail hut (for guests 21-and-up) called the Apres Chalet featuring Shiner Spirits and FLIGHT by Yuengling resides next to the rink, with outdoor lounge seating around solo stove heaters and warm string lights.

    Special holiday-themed cocktails include:

    • Holiday Mule: Ginger mule + Shiner Moonshine + Cranberry Juice
    • Holiday Screwdriver: Shiner Vodka + Orange Juice + Splash Grand Marnier
    • Holiday Mimosa: Cranberry Juice + Lamarca
    • Cinnamon Cider: with Shiner Cinnamon Moonshine
    • Boozy Coffee or Hot Chocolate with Irish Coffee: Coffee + Jameson + Brown Sugar syrup
    • Peppermint Patty: Hot Chocolate + Peppermint Schnapps + Whipped cream + Peppermint Stick

    Classic cocktails include a Moonshine Margarita with Shiner Moonshine, Agave Nectar, Lime, and Orange mixer; Old Fashioned with Cinnamon Shiner Corn Whiskey; Lavender Rose Collins with Shiner Vodka and Shine Gin; Espresso Martini with Shiner Vodka; and Ginger Mule, also with Shiner Vodka.

    There's also wine by the glass including One White Sauvignon Blanc and One Red Cabernet Wine; beer by Yuengling including Yuengling Lager and Light Lager; plus Ready-to-Drink beverages such as Ranch20 Tequila Variety and High Noon Vodka Variety.

    Beyond the rink, DRG Concepts will activate its downtown restaurants including Wicked Butcher, Wild Salsa, and Chop House Burger with limited-edition menu items, warm-up cocktails, and “show-your-skate-ticket” specials available throughout the season.

    DRG Concepts will also be collecting donations for Toys for Tots at Rudolph’s Rink Side Café and at all dining locations.

    Downtown Dallas, Inc. President & CEO Jennifer Scripps says that "together, we’re turning Main Street into a connected experience for Holiday 2025 — where people can skate, dine, explore, and enjoy the city’s holiday magic all in one place."
