Upscale movie theater and dog-friendly restaurant coming to Glade Parks

A dog-friendly restaurant and a luxury 12-screen movie theater are coming to the booming Glade Parks development.

Last week, the City Council unanimously approved site plans for the Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar and for a Cinepolis 12-screen movie theater complex that features a full restaurant and bar.

Construction is scheduled to start on the restaurant and theater this spring.

“This is another great addition to Glade Parks,” Mayor Linda Martin said during the council meting.

The movie theater and restaurant will be easily visible from Texas 121 and will be near the residential portion of Glade Parks where K. Hovnanian is building single-family homes.

Mike Collins, director of planning and economic development for the city, said an 8-foot masonry wall will be built to screen the theater from the residential area.

Cinepolis

Cinepolis is a Mexico-based company with locations in 13 countries including the United States, India and Spain. According to its website, Cinepolis is the fourth-largest movie theater exhibitor in the world.

Cinepolis has locations in California and Florida, and the company is expanding in Texas. The company is building an eight-screen theater in Victory Park, a mixed-use development in downtown Dallas. The theater should be finished in 2017.

The Euless location will offer moviegoers options including reserved luxury seating, a full restaurant and bar and the “more traditional” setting where people can walk up to a counter to buy their tickets, purchase concessions and watch a movie.

Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar

The Lazy Dog Restaurant is bringing the growing popularity of dog-friendly patios to Euless. People like having their dogs with them when they are out and about, and the restaurant features a 1,400-square-foot outdoor patio that will give dogs and their owners plenty of room.

Recently, the City council adopted an ordinance that spells out requirements that the restaurant must meet before pooches are allowed on the patio.

State law allows cities to grant variances for dogs on restaurant patios as long as there is a separate entrance to the patio, dogs do not go inside the restaurant, and the area is cleaned regularly.

Collins told the Star-Telegram previously that Euless would decide each request to allow dogs on outdoor patios individually.

Fort Worth and Dallas have their share of restaurants that welcome dogs on their patios.

Cinepolis and the Lazy Dog will be built near the Belk department store that is under construction and scheduled to open in March.
