Dallas is home to a new Raising Cane's that's been given a one-of-a-kind Post Malone x Dallas Cowboys makeover.

Located at 2255 W. Northwest Hwy., the restaurant can be seen from afar thanks to the 32-foot-tall light-rimmed star that forms an entrance to the drive-thru and the custom silver vinyl wrap around the exterior.

Inside are silhouettes of Post on stage, blue lighting throughout, Dallas Cowboys memorabilia, a suit of armor, and a vending machine featuring exclusive merchandise.

Malone's partnership with Raising Cane's began after he persuaded founder Todd Graves to open a location that Post designed near his home in Midvale, Utah.

He's also a big Cowboys fan.

Key restaurant features include:

An exterior wrapped in a silver vinyl that features silhouette images of Post Malone and his iconic on-stage moments
An iconic 32-foot-tall Dallas Cowboys star greeting customers as they enter the drive-thru, adorned by classic images of Post Malone
A patio that's a nod to Post's love for "pong" with the tables and chairs placed accordingly, giving customers and fans a fun place to dine and enjoy their Box Combos
Cane's red logo, replaced by the blue Post Malone x Cane's logo on the building and pole signs
A wall behind the front counter that morphs from the Raising Cane's x Post Malone collab logo to an on-stage image of Post Malone as they step closer to order
A vending machine with exclusive merch that can't be found anywhere else including socks, drink sleeves, hats, foam football, keychains, magnet, T-shirt, and lapel pin
A Post Malone fan mailbox inside the restaurant for fan mail, which is regularly picked up and delivered to Post himself

Displays throughout the restaurant feature vintage Dallas Cowboys memorabilia including an early 90s autographed game jersey, custom cleats, and more.

Wall displays include a knight suit replica of a 1400s Gothic Armor produced in the 1800s as well as a variety of displays that pay tribute to Post's iconic style and tours including:

Post's jorts and sneakers
Broken guitars
Custom Post Malone Dallas Cowboys hat
Outfits worn by Post at Posty Fest in 2019 from a performance at a show in Texas
the "I Like You" music video
the Times Square performance

LED screens feature small animations that dance across the screen to bring to life the artwork featured on the Post x Cane's x Cowboys cup along with footage from the Midvale opening.

Post's booth area features a custom painting of Post Malone by artist Patrick Ganino.

"Growing up in Dallas, I've been a fan of the Dallas Cowboys and Cane's since I was a kid, so it is an honor to be part of this collaboration with two of the greatest brands in history," Malone says in a statement.

And Dallas Cowboys owner/president/general manager Jerry Jones chimes in.

"First the Post Malone x Cane's Cowboys cups and now an entire Restaurant. We just love the partnership and friendship with Todd Graves, Cane's and Post Malone," Jones says. "We're very proud to be part of this innovative new store and concept and seeing that big Cowboys star in position to greet everyone will be a great reminder and reflection of how much we value and celebrate our continued collaboration."

Coffee News

Pinkies brews up coffee and cocktails on Cedar Springs in Dallas

Pinkies

Coffee at Pinkies

A gay bar in Dallas' Oak Lawn neighborhood has transformed into a coffee and cocktail lounge: Called Pinkies, it's now open at 3900 Cedar Springs Rd., in the space previously occupied by the Mr. Misster bar.

Pinkies comes from Trey Stewart and Meghan Harris, who also owned Mr. Misster, which they opened in 2019.

According to Stewart, they were looking to provide a more relaxed and cozy space, one that was less focused on nightlife. They figured others might also appreciate a coffee and cocktail concept along the Cedar Springs strip.

"Myself and my husband, who I met at Mr. Misster four years ago, no longer find ourselves out on weekends as consistently as we used to," he says. "We enjoy a nice craft cocktail, a cappuccino after dinner, a comfortable setting, and a place where we can socialize with our group of friends."

The menu features coffee and espresso drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos, and mochas, as well as teas including a popular matcha latte. A small selection of pastries includes doughnuts, coffee cake, blondies, and sweet breads including lemon-blueberry and white-chocolate-raspberry.

Cocktails incorporate some of their morning ingredients such as their espresso martini and matcha martini; they also offer martini flights.

They've updated the space, including painting the exterior a vivid pink, to make it easy to spot. Inside, there are magenta accents and it still feels a little clubby, with purple tile walls and touches of neon lighting. One wall is covered with floral wallpaper and a massive Pinkies Up neon sign. Furniture is a mix of modern white tables and big tufted banquettes.

They hope it will still fit in with the lively night scene in Oak Lawn, since it’ll be a coffee shop by day and high-energy lounge by night.

"Over the past six years, Meghan and I feel that we accomplished our goal of shaking things up on Cedar Springs, and some of the elements that once made Mr. Misster so special have slowly been replicated and duplicated down the block," Stewart says. "That was always our initial intention, to spark change and growth."

"With Pinkies, we wanted to offer a place where you can plug in, sip something great, and get things done without feeling out of place," he says. "Unlike a grab-and-go coffee spot, we want you to sit and stay for a while."
