Champagne bar The Coupe closed in Fort Worth after about two years in business. A contributor to the Fort Worth Foodies Facebook page<\/a> called it \u201cone of my absolute favorites.\u201d <\/p>\n

Beyond selling sparkling wine and snacks, The Coupe was a popular spot for private events. It regularly hosted meet-up events like candle-making, comedy night, karaoke and more.<\/p>\n

Co-owner Lauren Badgett wrote on social media<\/a> that the closure \u201cis not a farewell \u2014 it\u2019s a celebration of bubbles, community, art and great memories.”<\/p>\n

The Coupe was at 314 S. Main St., Fort Worth. Its last day was Aug. 9, 2025.<\/p>\n

After an impressive 23 years in Uptown Dallas\u2019 West Village, Cru Wine Bar closes Aug. 31, 2025, CultureMap reported<\/a>. The shop near McKinney Avenue was Cru\u2019s first location, and it was a \u201cmagnet for moviegoers\u201d headed next-door to the Magnolia art house cinema, The Dallas Morning News declared in 2002.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis wine bar understands the principles of sipping and supping,\u201d wrote our critic a few months after its opening. The wine bar went on to expand across Texas, to locations in Plano, Fort Worth, Austin and more, as well as to Georgia and North Carolina.<\/p>\n

Inside of 20 years, West Village has seen the exits of longtime anchors like Mi Cocina<\/a> and Taco Diner<\/a> while new restaurants moved in. Cru stayed longer than most.<\/p>\n

Founder Patrick Colombo told CM he planned to move after Cru transitioned to a month-to-month lease in West Village.<\/p>\n

Cru Food & Wine Bar is at 3699 McKinney Ave. (in West Village), Dallas. It\u2019s expected to close Aug. 31, 2025.<\/p>\n

Evan\u2019s Meat Market in Highland Park\"Evan's<\/p>\n

Evan’s Meat Market closed, but its po’boy sandwiches live on in Dallas’ Preston Center.<\/p>\n

Small but mighty butcher shop Evan\u2019s Meat Market served its last cuts of meat in August 2025, after being open on Oak Lawn Avenue since 2023<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Owner Evan Meagher learned that the most lucrative part of his business was the sale of Louisiana-inspired po\u2019boy sandwiches. It inspired Meagher and his team to open The PoBoy Shop in Dallas\u2019 Preston Center<\/a>. It\u2019s now his only restaurant.<\/p>\n

Evan\u2019s Meat Market is at 4266 Oak Lawn Ave., Dallas. Its last day is Aug. 18, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

Drag show restaurant Hamburger Mary\u2019s closed after about two years on Dallas\u2019 Cedar Springs Road, reports<\/a> Dallas Voice. The restaurant moved into the LGBT-friendly neighborhood and hosted events galore: drag brunches, ladies\u2019 nights, taco Tuesday, karaoke and more.<\/p>\n

Hamburger Mary\u2019s hails from San Francisco<\/a>, where the original opened in 1972. Other locations still exist in Las Vegas, Kansas City, Chicago and more, though the Dallas restaurant was the only one in Texas.<\/p>\n

Co-owner Donald Smith told the Voice his team \u201ctried to make it work, but we just couldn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamburger Mary\u2019s was at 4123 Cedar Springs Road, Dallas. It closed in late August 2025.<\/p>\n

Henry\u2019s Majestic in West Dallas\"When<\/p>\n

When Henry’s Majestic left Uptown and moved to West Dallas, it got a much bigger patio.<\/p>\n

\u201cSadly, it is true,\u201d reads a letter on Henry\u2019s Majestic\u2019s website. The West Dallas restaurant closed in summer 2025, after moving to the neighborhood in November 2023. Henry\u2019s Majestic had previously been in Uptown Dallas<\/a>, but the bar and brunch spot was forced to close near McKinney Avenue so the building could be razed and replaced with a high-rise.<\/p>\n

In its newer digs, Henry\u2019s Majestic was more of a patio bar. Think Katy Trail Ice House, but vintage. Owner Andrew Popp outfitted the former Chicken Scratch and the Foundry (and before that, the famous Jack\u2019s Backyard) with wooden chairs circled around fire pits. A re-used shipping container was the makeshift outdoor bar.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear why the restaurant and backyard bar closed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are open to the idea of returning,\u201d the website says, but no plans have been made.<\/p>\n

Henry\u2019s Majestic was at 2303 Pittman St., Dallas. It closed in late July 2025.<\/p>\n

Ocean Ranch in East Dallas\"Ocean<\/p>\n

Ocean Ranch opened in early 2025 and closed in mid-2025. It was an Italian restaurant with steak and seafood.<\/p>\n

Italian steakhouse Ocean Ranch was open just few months<\/a> on Dallas\u2019 Greenville Avenue before it closed unexpectedly. In mid-August 2025, a sign on the door said it was shuttered \u201cdue to an electrical problem.\u201d The restaurant is now marked \u201cpermanently closed\u201d on Google, and reservations are no longer available online.<\/p>\n

This address on Lowest Greenville was formerly Carte Blanche<\/a>. Its chef-owners are opening a new restaurant in downtown Dallas this week.<\/p>\n

Ocean Ranch was at 2114 Greenville Ave., Dallas. It closed in August 2025.<\/p>\n

Two-story restaurant and bar STIRR closed in mid-August 2025 ahead of its lease expiration<\/a>, according to a social media post from the company. The restaurant opened in 2016. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis was our very first restaurant and the one that launched our journey in hospitality,\u201d the owners wrote about the closure. Its rooftop patio had a clublike atmosphere, and Sunday Funday was popular.<\/p>\n

STIRR was at 2803 Main St., Dallas. Owners announced the closure Aug. 11, 2025.<\/p>\n

Swizzle on Dallas\u2019 Greenville Avenue\"A<\/p>\n

A trip to Swizzle in Dallas felt like an escape to the islands, a DMN contributor wrote in 2020 when the Greenville Avenue tiki bar opened.<\/p>\n

Bartenders at East Dallas tiki bar Swizzle served their last cocktails on July 19, 2025. The reasons for the closure are vast<\/a>, the company founders noted on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cThink of a reason, or ten; they are probably all correct,\u201d it said. The bar opened in late 2020<\/a> \u2014 a tumultuous year, to be sure \u2014 but its owners had operated tiki pop-ups for years prior.<\/p>\n

Swizzle will continue on as a pop-up, and a Facebook post encourages fans to consider Swizzle for \u201cevents, corporate lunches, house parties, luaus\u201d and more. <\/p>\n

Swizzle was at 1802 Greenville Ave., Dallas. It closed July 19, 2025.<\/p>\n

White Rhino Coffee in Garland<\/p>\n

One of Dallas\u2019 fastest-growing local coffee companies<\/a>, White Rhino, has closed its shop in Garland as of July 31, 2025. <\/p>\n

The restaurant started in Cedar Hill in 2007 but got a jolt of caffeine in 2018, when co-founder Chris Parvin expanded it to 10 locations in the next five years. Parvin recently stepped down, and Sara Escamilla was named president and CEO.<\/p>\n

Customers at the Garland coffee shop weren\u2019t given a reason for the closure, CultureMap noted<\/a>. \u201cThank you for every cup shared, every conversation sparked and every bit of community you brought through our doors,\u201d said a note posted inside the shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

White Rhino was at 5235 N. President George Bush Highway, Garland. Its last day was July 31, 2025.<\/p>\n

\"WhiteZero Gradi in Dallas, Frisco and McKinney and 400 Gradi in Dallas\"In<\/p>\n

In the past few years, the owner of 400 Gradi wanted to expand the Italian restaurant beyond pizza, to other dishes like crudo (pictured here).<\/p>\n

Chitose Suzuki \/ Staff Photographer<\/p>\n

As the owner forecasted early this year<\/a>, downtown Dallas pizza shop 400 Gradi closed in late May 2025. A few weeks later, in mid-June 2025, he closed his three dessert shops, Zero Gradi. Those locations were in downtown Dallas, Frisco and McKinney.<\/p>\n

Co-owner Igor Stevovic said in early 2025 that rising food costs and high labor costs hurt business.<\/p>\n

400 Gradi was an Italian restaurant with pizza. Zero Gradi was a gelato shop with Italian pastries and espresso drinks.<\/p>\n

\"Zero<\/p>\n

Zero Gradi served sweets in three Dallas-Fort Worth locations.<\/p>\n

Zero Gradi<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been proud to serve the Dallas community for the past six years with 400 Gradi, and four and a half years with Zero Gradi,\u201d he told The Dallas Morning News. \u201cMany wonderful memories were made, and we will always cherish them.\u201d<\/p>\n

400 Gradi was at 2000 Ross Ave., Dallas. It closed May 31, 2025, following the closure of 400 Gradi in McKinney earlier this year, on Jan. 1, 2025.<\/p>\n

The Zero Gradi shops were at 2000 Ross Ave., Dallas; 6975 Lebanon Road, Frisco; and 6701 Alma Road, McKinney. They closed June 14, 2025.<\/p>\n
