Mediterranean restaurant and nightlife spot moves into Dallas' Victory Park

A sports bar from the owner of the Dallas Stars is ready to make its debut in Northlake: Shark Club Sports Bar & Grill, the Canadian-born chain owned by Dallas Stars owner Tom Gaglardi, will open at 13850 Chadwick Pkwy. inside the new Children's Health StarCenter Multisport complex.

Opening day is Friday, August 7, according to a release.

The restaurant is the brand's second U.S. location, following a Plano outpost that opened in 2019. It was first announced in 2025 as part of the massive youth sports complex in Northlake, a Denton County community about 40 miles northwest of Dallas.

According to the release, the 5,000-square-foot restaurant is designed to serve families, athletes, coaches, and sports fans visiting the Dallas Stars-affiliated sports complex. It features 37 televisions inside, plus additional TVs on an outdoor patio overlooking the pickleball courts.

Though specific menu details have not yet been revealed, diners can expect many of the dishes served at the Plano location, they say, with shareable appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, entrées, and cocktails, plus some location-specific additions. The Plano Shark Club serves globally-inspired dishes such as shishito peppers and butter chicken, alongside classic American bar food, bowls, salads, and pot roast.

Happy hour specials will be offered twice a day, Monday through Friday, from 3-7 pm and 10 pm-close.

“Sports have always had a unique ability to bring people together, but the most meaningful moments often happen before the game starts and long after the final whistle,” Gaglardi says in the release. “Our goal was to create a place where families, teams and fans can connect, celebrate and build traditions of their own. North Texas remains an important growth market for Shark Club, and we’re excited to continue building our presence here and across the U.S.”

The restaurant is part of the Children's Health StarCenter Multisport, a 225,000-square-foot facility that includes two sheets of ice for hockey, eight basketball courts that can convert into 16 volleyball courts, pickleball courts, and community programming. The complex is the newest addition to the Dallas Stars' growing StarCenter network.

Shark Club was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1993. Gaglardi also co-owns both the restaurant chain Moxies and the Craft Restaurant and Beer Market in Dallas' Preston Center.

Grand opening festivities on August 7 will begin at 4 pm with a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Metroport Chamber of Commerce, followed by dinner and happy hour.

Once it opens, Shark Club Northlake will be open daily: 11 am-11 pm Monday-Thursday, 11 am-12 am Friday, 10 am-12 am Saturday, and 10 am-11 pm Sunday.
