A lively sports bar and restaurant known for DJs, karaoke, dancing and plenty of TVs is coming to Bedford. Scooters Sports Bar & Grill has signed a 10-year lease for an 8,168-square-foot space at Harwood Shopping Center, at 3508 Harwood Rd., according to a release.<\/p>\n
The restaurant is aiming to open by mid-2027.<\/p>\n
The Bedford location will be the third in the area for Scooters, which also has outposts in Arlington<\/a> and Garland<\/a>.<\/p>\n The bar and grill combines sports-bar staples with a party atmosphere, including DJs, karaoke, dancing, widescreen TVs, dart boards and pool tables. There are also multiple bars, dining areas, and patio seating.<\/p>\n The menu includes several burgers, including a Spicy Jalapeno Burger with Fries; along with chicken entrees and sandwiches, country fried steak, and a catfish or Buffalo shrimp basket. There’s also a long list of shareable starters, including fried pickles or mushrooms, chili cheese dogs, bacon cheddar tots, Irish nachos, quesadillas, and boneless or bone-in wings in a dozen varieties.<\/p>\n \u201cScooters Bar & Grill is a cool concept. It’s a big win for the next phase of Rock Island’s repositioning of the center,\u201d says Chris Kennedy, vice president of Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services, which handles leasing for the center.<\/p>\n Scooters operator Binkley Restaurant Group plans to spend about $1 million upgrading the Bedford space. <\/p>\n Shopping center reno The Illinois-based company, which operates a firearms auction business, converted an 85,899-square-foot former Walmart into its Texas headquarters and auction facility.

It’s part of a much larger project in a well-worn corner of the mid-cities. The 127,121-square-foot Harwood Shopping Center is getting a major makeover under its owner, Rock Island Auction Co., which bought the 11-acre property in 2022.<\/p>\n
