And Both Of Them Will Be Less Than 2 Hours Away From Tyler, TX...

We really don't know how "surfing bars" became a rage but apparently they are the hot new thing in casual dining. Soon, we'll have more surf bars than mechanical bulls in Texas at the rate we're going.

It looks like the effort to turn Texas into California is going according to plan.

We Told You A Few Months Back About Fireside Surf.

Back in March we told you about Fireside Surf, an entertainment restaurant that will include a wave pool for surfing, that made plans to open this summer in The Colony.

The surf pool will have "customizable and endless deep-water waves up to 6 feet" and will have levels for beginners to pros. Fireside will also offer lessons that will include a "skill-appropriate" surfboard. They will also offer a full menu of food and drinks, including cocktails.

We recently checked their website and they plan to now open in September of 2023 but that news may have something to do with the news that came out about ANOTHER planned surf bar in the DFW Metroplex.

Goodsurf has secured its first venue in Dallas, TX.

According to a press release, Goodsurf Dallas will open in the first quarter of 2024 in Dallas' historical Deep Ellum neighborhood at 317 S 2nd Avenue. Goodsurf will feature what it describes as the world's most accessible and authentic surf wave technology, called "Citywave", an endless deep water stationary wave (up to six feet tall) that brings the thrill of surfing to the masses.

Goodsurf also claims it will offer a wide array of food and beverage offerings.

There's also going to be a beach volleyball court, spikeball, bocce ball, and other yard games and beach activities. The concept will come complete with changing facilities and lockers too. You can find out more about "Goodsurf" at its website.

This will soon make Dallas, TX the Surf Bar Capital Of Texas...
