Rising Tides is a new bar and restaurant in East Dallas, taking the place of the Royal Pour on Garland Road. It’s owned and operated by Alex Fletcher, a seasoned veteran of the Dallas bar scene who opened Shaken + Stirred Hospitality, which has partnered with Henry’s Majestic and Punch Bowl Social.

Fletcher took over Royal Pour in mid-August and never closed down, opting to slowly reshape the bar in his design over time instead of shutting out a loyal cast of regulars. Fletcher told us he repainted the walls on his first day in the space and is still working on furnishing the place. Arcade games and additional seating are coming soon.

Although the layout is similar, Rising Tides can be seen as either a much-needed spruce up to the neighborhood bar or the sad loss of a nostalgic haunt.
