Dallas has a number of trophies on the mantel for its wonderful bar programs<\/a>. But the latest combines a mind-bending experience with storytelling mixologists. <\/p>\n The immersive art installation, Meow Wolf Grapevine, was named the winner of the IAAPA Brass Ring Excellence Awards for its food and beverage experience, which is offered as part of its Prime Materia exhibit. <\/p>\n Mewo Wolf<\/a> is an arts and entertainment company with six locations across the U.S., including one in Houston. The company was named as the top immersive experience by Time Out in 2023. <\/p>\n Currently, the immersive experience at Meow Wolf Grapevine (located at Grapevine Mills) is\u00a0Prime Materia, and it offers a watering-hole-across-dimensions experience. The sci-fi art space is hosted by a cast of characters known as Gizmo_Mancers, who act as both mixologists and storytellers, creating concoctions from digital code. Guests imbibe alchemical-themed specialty cocktails, mocktails and snacks.<\/p>\n The Brass Ring Excellence award from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions<\/a> is considered the most prestigious in the global attractions industry. Cheers, Meow Wolf.<\/p>\n \u201cPrime Materia\u00a0was designed to dissolve the line between storytelling and hospitality,\u201d said Tommy Schatz-Thompson, creative director of\u00a0Prime Materia\u00a0in Meow Wolf Grapevine. \u201cEvery layer of the show experience, from the narrative environment to the menu itself, reinforces the idea that food and beverage can be an active part of world-building. This award recognizes how deeply that integration resonates with guests.\u201d<\/p>\n Mind-Bending Cocktails and Snacks Prime Materia opened in the summer of 2025 and is the company\u2019s first in-exhibition food and beverage experience. This sip-and-stroll exploration allows guests to carry drinks as they uncover hidden passageways, interactive art, and story threads throughout The Real Unreal. <\/p>\n The award-winning menu includes a Rum Punch Brew<\/strong> with three juices and rum. The Overlocked Margarita<\/strong> is made with mango puree, pineapple juice, ghost pepper tequila and a Tajin rim. There\u2019s a Cold Brew Tincture, a Haspheria Mule,\u00a0and a\u00a0Prickly Pear Essence\u00a0with blue Butterfly Pea Powder, which changes color. You can also order premium liquors and some local craft beer (naturally, they have Celestial Beerworks<\/a>).<\/p>\n For snacks, they have Popped Pixels, which is dill-and-white-cheddar popcorn. Kernel Panic is candied popcorn. And Pretzel Bits are Dot\u2019s Pretzels.<\/p>\n We feel like it\u2019s one of those gotta-see-it things. So just go. <\/p>\n
