New Restaurants and Bars in North Texas
Waves of similar restaurant concepts often sweep through North Texas, like the influx of Italian restaurants that happened a few years ago, and the hot chicken craze a few years before that. This fall is shaping up to be full of new openings, but the types of restaurants and bars opening are quite varied.
Here is an alphabetized list of recently opened spots in North Texas.
Bagel Bros in Casa Linda
There’s a new bagel shop in town. Bagel Bros, owned by two brothers who used to own and operate Benny’s Bagels, is now open along Garland Road in East Dallas. More than a dozen bagels are on the menu, and soon croissants, biscuits and wraps will be added.
Bagel Bros opened Oct. 11, 2025, at 9219 Garland Road, Dallas.
Tucked inside a tiny, L-shaped bar is the new Boogies, a dance club. You knew it in the past as The Whippersnapper, now retired. Boogies opened Oct. 3, 2025.
Boogies in East Dallas
“A little wild, a little sophisticated and a lot of fun” is the vibe at this new discotheque, according to one of its owners. Boogies, with its disco ball and its dance floor, replaced The Whippersnapper near Henderson Avenue. It’s a cocktail bar in the evenings, but by 10 p.m., it transforms into a dancing destination inspired by New York’s legendary Studio 54.
Boogies opened Oct. 3, 2025, at 1806 McMillan Ave., Dallas. It is open Wednesdays through Sundays in the evenings, and closed Mondays and Tuesdays. boogiesdtx.com.

CuppaPug in Frisco
This newly opened cafe in Frisco is a pug lover’s dream. For $25, guests can make a reservation to sip coffee while surrounded by pugs. The beverage options at CuppaPug are bottled drinks from Frisco-based Evergreen Coffee & Energy for now, but soon the cafe will launch its own food and drinks, including cocktails.

Gelato La Boca in University Park
This Argentine gelato has been available at Commissary Market in downtown Dallas since 2023, but its first brick-and-mortar shop is now open in Snider Plaza. They’ve got gelato flavors like dulce de leche and cold brew, and a handful of vegan sorbet flavors, too.
Gelato La Boca opened Sept. 19, 2025, at 3406 Rosedale Ave., Dallas. It’s open seven days a week. gelatolaboca.com.
Hinoki in Frisco
The team behind Kinzo Sushi, an omakase restaurant in Frisco, recently opened another Frisco restaurant called Hinoki. Hinoki is a “family-friendly sushi spot created to fill the gap between casual dining and fine omakase,” said its executive chef Leo Kekoa, who previously worked as a chef at Nobu Dallas.
Hinoki opened in October 2025 at 8050 Preston Road #106, Frisco. It’s open for lunch and dinner every day but Tuesday.
Michy’s Chino Boricua Kitchen in Grand Prairie
Michelle Lao, who grew up as a Chinese immigrant in Puerto Rico with restaurateur parents, opened Michy’s in Houston in 2021. Her third restaurant and first in North Texas opened earlier this month in Grand Prairie. The family-owned restaurant serves “what Puerto Rican people know as Chinese food.” Think lo mein and mofongo.
Michy’s Chino Boricua Kitchen opened Oct. 4, 2025, at 2155 N. TX-360 S, Grand Prairie. It’s open for lunch and dinner every day but Tuesday. michys.co.
