Downtown Fort Worth Starbucks begins beer, wine sales Tuesday

Now you can pair a beer with your Starbucks coffee in downtown Fort Worth.

The chain’s downtown Sundance Square location confirmed Tuesday that it would begin selling alcoholic beverages at 4 p.m.

A worker said the store will feature a selection of craft beers, along with red and white wines.

The store’s expanded menu, which also includes food items such as truffle mac and cheese, chicken skewers and spinach artichoke dip, is part of the company’s “Evenings,” a concept that started in 2010.

“We learned resoundingly that our customers want to come to Starbucks and have a glass of wine or a craft beer,” Starbucks vice president Rachel Antalek told USA Today in August. “There aren’t that many places to go in the evening where you can go very relaxed, very casual. It’s not loud. You can actually have a small group and hear yourself talk.”

The Starbucks at The Shops at Park Lane in Dallas also started selling beer and wine Tuesday.
