Lockwood Distilling Co., the Richardson gastropub known for its small-batch spirits and equally compelling food menu, has landed in Garland.<\/p>\n
The distillery quietly debuted over Valentine’s weekend at 532 Main St., taking over the space formerly occupied by Infinity Arcade. The opening was, apparently, a big hit with Garland locals.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got our butts kicked, and last night was the BOMB,\u201d the restaurant shared in a Facebook<\/a> post, noting that it would close for a few days for \u201cmaking some changes\u201d and \u201chiring some folks\u201d before Lockwood Distilling makes its official debut later this week. <\/p>\n This is the third location for Lockwood Distilling<\/a>, joining the original in Richardson and a McKinney outpost that followed in 2024. A Fort Worth location closed<\/a> last fall.<\/p>\n Owners Evan and Sally Batt had been \u201ccourted\u201d<\/a> by the city of Garland to bring their popular concept to the increasingly food-centric downtown Garland area. The buzzy neighborhood is also home to Intrinsic Smokehouse and New Haven-style pizzeria Fortunate Son<\/a>, and will soon have its own outpost of popular Bishop Arts restaurant Taco y Vino. <\/p>\n Unlike the Richardson location, Lockwood Distilling Garland won\u2019t be making its Texas-style gin or straight Bourbon whiskey. Instead, it will be more of a showcase for those spirits, with a 5,000-square-foot taproom and dining room that will serve cocktails made with Lockwood\u2019s spirits and an extensive menu of Southern cuisine.<\/p>\n Dining options range from snacks like smoked pecan pimento cheese dip to heartier fare like a smoked bologna muffuletta and a 44 Farms skirt steak that\u2019s served with chimichurri and confit marbled potatoes. <\/p>\n Perhaps not surprisingly, the cocktail menu is extensive, with a solid line-up of frozen libations like the Lockwood Bramble, mixed with gin, pineapple rum, berries, and lime juice; and the Little Red Corvette, which swirls together the Bramble with a potent (and also frozen) Bourbon Sidecar.<\/p>\n Drinkers can also order flights of Lockwood spirits, including its Honeysuckle Gin or Bourbon Cream, plus classic drinks like martinis and Cuba Libres. <\/p>\n Lockwood Distilling is set to officially open its doors for full lunch and dinner service on Wednesday, February 18. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lockwood Distilling Co., the Richardson gastropub known for its small-batch spirits and equally compelling food menu, has landed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166798,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[116,118,117,10510,2184],"class_list":{"0":"post-166797","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-fort-worth","9":"tag-fort-worth-headlines","10":"tag-fort-worth-news","11":"tag-h-e-b","12":"tag-jobs"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166797"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166797\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166797"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166797"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
