Frisco Dining News

2 buzzy Dallas restaurants will expand to Hall Park in Frisco

The Commissary

Two buzzy Dallas restaurant concepts are expanding to Frisco: According to a release, Headington Companies — the hotel and hospitality company owned by downtown Dallas mojo Tim Headington — will open locations of Commissary and Tango Room to Hall Park in Frisco, as part of Hall Park’s ongoing transformation into a premier mixed-use community.

Located at 3101 Gaylord Pkwy., the concepts will occupy ground-level retail space beneath Hall Park’s luxury apartment development, The Monarch, and adjacent to the community’s 5.7-acre Kaleidoscope Park and Hall Park Hotel. Both are slated to open in fall 2026.

Commissary is a café, bakery, gelateria, espresso bar, and neighborhood market, offering everything from morning buns, breakfast tacos, and lattes to weekend brunch and lunch. Its market rounds out the menu with beer and wine, gelato, frozen soups, breads, and pastries, as well as catering options for breakfast and lunch meetings.

Tango Room is known for its intimate ambiance while reimagining the modern steakhouse experience. Its menu features classics including New York strip and pomme purée, alongside newfangled creations like lobster corndogs, uni tagliatelle, and its signature caviar martini. The restaurant will be a dimly lit but lively space, with a robust wine list, a larger bar than its Dallas location, as well as a private dining room for special events and gatherings.

Hall Group COO Ben Brewer says in a statement that their arrival represents a milestone for the community.

“These exceptional concepts will continue to enhance the energy at Hall Park, offering our office tenants, residents, and visitors distinctive dining experiences, from casual, grab-and-go options at Commissary, perfectly located next to Kaleidoscope Park for enjoying bites and drinks during concerts, weekend outings with family or friends, and everyday leisure, to elevated dinners or private events at Tango Room," Brewer says.

Headington Companies president Michael Tregoning says they're excited that Hall Park will be home to the second locations of both of these concepts.

“We have long been impressed by the Hall Group’s vision and approach to development," Tregoning says. "We are confident both restaurants will be highly successful and compelling additions to the fabric of Hall Park, Frisco, and the surrounding communities.”

A pioneering development in Frisco since the mid-1990s, Hall Park encompasses 2.6 million square feet of office space throughout 16 completed buildings. One-third of the park is dedicated to green space and includes three miles of walking trails, over 200 works of art including the Texas Sculpture Garden, the largest private collection of contemporary Texas sculpture made available to the public.

The full masterplan–anticipated to span 20 years of development–will encompass approximately 9.5 million square feet of usable mixed-use space.

Best Happy Hours

Where to drink in Dallas right now: 5 special happy hours for September

This is a most distinguished edition of Where to Drink, CultureMap's monthly column bringing news of the best happy hours around. Distinguished, because these aren't just the cheapest deals. These happy hours are all a little extra, whether it's gourmet chef-driven food, unique location, or a special Korean twist.

Here are the best happy hour destinations for September 2026:

Cipher Lounge
Unique new entertainment venue and lounge in downtown McKinney is an escape room-plus-restaurant and bar, combining food, cocktails, and escape-room experiences under one roof. The Cipher Lounge is not your typical bar or escape room. The lounge boasts a sophisticated atmosphere with craft cocktails and upscale bites. You can stop in before or after the escape room, but you can also just come in for food and drink. And fortunately, they do a happy hour Wednesday-Friday from 2-6 pm with $3 off flatbreads & dips, $3 off well cocktails, $2 off domestic beers, and $1 off import and craft beers.

Malai Kitchen
Small local chain specializing in southeast Asian cuisine is a perennial, with four locations including the original at West Village in Uptown Dallas. They recently expanded their already generous happy hour with more to eat and more to drink, still with the same scratch-made kitchen behind all of it. Signature cocktails are $4 off. Their celebrated house-brewed beer is $6, and their happy hour wines are a cut above: Aveleda Vinho Verde white from Portugal, and Vina Eguia Tempranillo red from Spain, $8 per glass. Bites are $8 or two for $15 including Vietnamese meatballs, cucumber salad, shishito peppers, grilled satay, fried imperial rolls, spicy edamame, Thai chicken wings, and potstickers. Hours are Monday-Friday 3-6 pm, and all day Sunday.

Nuri Steakhouse
Korean steakhouse in Uptown recently launched "Geonbae Hour," its elevated take on happy hour, inspired by the Korean tradition of “Geonbae,” meaning cheers. Featured bites include oysters, bulgogi beef tacos, steak tartare cigar, and truffle popcorn, $7 to $9, plus a Wagyu burger with kimchi-glazed bacon and white cheddar for $20. Drinks include their unique renditions of classic drinks like an old-fashioned, margarita, and negroni for $10; plus beer, wine, and soju, the Korean spirit. It's offered Monday-Thursday 4- 6 pm and all day Sunday.

Two Hands
Australian-style all-day cafe founded in New York, which opened a location at The Quad in 2025, has what it calls a "snacky hour," which is short and to the point: a smashburger for $10, plus $10 cocktails, $3 off glasses of wine (including red, white, and sparkling), and $5 draft beer. Cocktails include martinis (dry or dirty), espresso martini, margarita, aperol spritz, old-fashioned, Negroni, and bloody Mary. Snacky hour is offered every day from 4-6 pm.

Written By the Seasons
Chef-driven concept has two locations in Dallas: Bishop Arts and The Quad. Both host an admirable happy hour 3:30-5 pm Monday-Saturday, with half-off on bottles of wine and significant snacks, including some of their signature dishes. There are smoked Texas pecans, cheese & charcuterie board, boquerones with arugula & crostini, mutabal (the middle-Eastern eggplant dip) with olives and crispy flatbread, and their acclaimed kimchi pancakes, priced from $5 to $12. There's also a burger with American cheese, and a veggie sandwich with cucumber, avocado, daikon sprouts, and shaved carrots on wheat — both $18.
