    cheap pints and good times

    DFW Airport is home to the No. 1 best airport bar in the U.S.

    TGI Fridays DFW Airport

    An ice cold beer on draft will run travelers $5 at TGI Fridays at DFW Airport.

    TGIF

    Airport bars are not known for being much more than a pitstop in between flights. But among airport drinkeries, DFW Airport reigns supreme: According to a recent study by online sports betting website BetUS, DFW's own TGI Fridays seized the No. 1 slot for best airport bar in the U.S.

    In the survey, called "The Top 10 Airport Bars in the U.S.," BetUS experts determined the rankings by comparing the location of each bar within each airport, plus Google review scores, menu size, and menu item pricing.

    TGI Fridays earned high marks for its budget-friendly status, thanks to its relatively affordable prices for a draft beer, cheeseburger, and French fries.

    "With their draft beer priced at $5, their cheeseburger priced at $12.98, and their French fries priced at $2.86, TGI Fridays within the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport provides not only Texas travelers the best and most affordable airport bar option, but the best option for travelers across the United States," the report said.

    For context, Billy Goat Tavern at Chicago O'Hare International Airport – which ranked one spot behind TGI Friday's – had the most expensive price for a draft beer ($8.50) out of all 10 airport bars on the list.

    Pedal Haus Brewery (No. 7) at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport had the most expensive cheeseburger ($16), and Providence Provisions at T.F. Green International had the priciest French fries ($7) among the top 10.

    TGI Fridays also boasts a 3.9-star ranking on Google with more than one thousand reviews, which offers further proof as to how well-received the restaurant is at the airport.

    TGI Fridays first opened in Manhattan in 1965, and has since expanded to become a staple suburban hangout known for its ribs, loaded potato skins, and distinct decor embellished with red stripes and Tiffany-style lamps.

    The casual restaurant chain operates not one, but five total locations at DFW airport, which means there's plenty of cheap beer to go around without worrying about each haunt being too busy. Sadly, they are the only remaining TGIF locations in Dallas-Fort Worth after the brand filed for bankruptcy in early November and closed its six non-airport Dallas-area locations.

    The top 10 best airport bars in the U.S. are:

    • No. 1 – TGI Fridays at Dallas-Fort Worth International
    • No. 2 – Billy Goat Tavern at Chicago O'Hare International
    • NO. 3 – Chili's at Milwaukee Mitchell International
    • No. 4 – Gourmandise Euro-Diner & Bakery at Salt Lake City International
    • No. 5 – Village Pub Vegas at Harry Reid International
    • No. 6 – SkyDine Services at Sioux Falls International
    • No. 7 – Pedal Haus Brewery at Phoenix Sky Harbor International
    • No. 8 – Bardenay at Boise Airport
    • No. 9 – OMB at Charlotte Douglas International
    • No. 10 – Providence Provisions at T.F. Green International

    "The convenience, ambiance, and comfortability these bars provide travelers in enjoying a nice drink and or even a good meal with it before a flight is desired more than ever these days," the report said.

    Dallas developer to open boutique Hotel Dax in Addison

    There's a new hotel coming to Addison from a well known Dallas developer: Called Hotel Dax, it'll open at 14315 Midway Rd. at the northwest corner of Spring Valley Road, and it's from Centurion American Development Group, the owner of the Statler hotel in downtown Dallas.

    According to a release, Hotel Dax will open in early 2026 as a lifestyle-focused property that will function as a destination for travelers, meeting planners, and a social hub for locals.

    The property was previously the Crowne Plaza Hotel, which was built in 1984 but closed during the pandemic.

    Renovations include nearly 32,000 square feet of meeting space, four dining and beverage venues, a resort-style pool, a Top Golf Swing Suite, and design-forward interiors by Dallas-based Merriman Anderson Architects.

    A second phase of development is planned for 2027, which will include the reenvisioning and renovation of the hotel’s 426 guest rooms and suites, marking continued significant capital investment in the property. Guest rooms at opening will already feature contemporary design and upscale finishes, but the 2027 renovation will be an improvement.

    The name references the Dallas Addison Exchange, acknowledging the area's role as a business and cultural center since the town's incorporation in 1953. Centurion American previously transformed and renovated The Statler, a historic downtown Dallas hotel, into a luxury destination that reopened in 2017, and now brings that same vision for elevated hospitality to Addison.

    Addison — with more restaurants per capita than any city in the U.S., corporate headquarters, and entertainment district — has vibrant energy that attracted Centurion American.

    “Addison has always been at the crossroads of business and hospitality, and Hotel Dax will celebrate that history,” says Centurion American CEO Mehrdad Moayedi in a statement. “There is such a high demand for quality meeting space and first-class hotel accommodations that this property can fulfill. We look forward to being an active part of the Addison community.”

    Since 1990, Centurion American has developed well over 200,000 single-family lots in dozens of premier communities across North Texas. In addition to its extensive residential footprint, Centurion has expanded its portfolio to include a wide range of commercial, mixed-use, and multifamily projects that further enhance the communities it creates.

    Dining concepts
    Hotel Dax will feature four separately branded venues designed to attract neighborhood traffic alongside hotel guests:

    • Top Brass is an American bistro anchoring the property with a menu built on bold flavors and elevated comfort food. The restaurant balances polish with personality, delivering Southern hospitality without the formality, in a space designed for genuine connection and memorable meals.
    • Bar Dax is a social hub where guests and locals can gather at communal tables for wine, cocktails and shareable plates. The space features large big screens for catching games, curated happy hour experiences, and an inviting atmosphere built for lingering well into the night.
    • Outdoor Pool Lounge serves as a destination, whether guests are swimming or simply gathering at the bar. The landscaped venue will be open to locals and available for private events, creating a resort-style amenity in the heart of Addison's business district.
    • Brewed, operated by the locally acclaimed coffee brand, will offer specialty coffee and a grab-and-go market for both hotel guests and neighborhood residents.

    Design and amenities
    The hotel will feature a resort-style pool, a 5,000-square-foot 24-hour fitness center with dedicated space for classes and wellness programming, a Hertz service desk, and a Top Golf Swing Suite.

    The property will also offer events and experiences designed for hotel guests and local residents to reinforce its role as a community gathering place.

    A courtesy shuttle will provide access to the new DART Silver Line, connecting guests to destinations across North Texas including DFW International Airport.

    Management
    Centurion American selected Dallas-based Dreamscape Hospitality to manage the property, drawing on the company's track record in lifestyle and boutique hotel management. The hotel will participate in Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International's loyalty program, providing guests with access to the brand's global network of properties and benefits.
