The Metro Bar and Grill opened Wednesday, Aug. 6, in the Twin Stacks Building in Dallas.

Owned and operated by Michael and Nicole Theodore, owners of the Arena Bar and Grill on Coal Street in Wilkes-Barre, the Metro is similar to the Arena but offers a larger wine selection and the menu features several gourmet burgers.

There are 16 different brands of beer on tap and more than 100 of the bottled variety. A large outside deck offers seating for dining and entertainment.

Ten full-time and 30-part-time employees have been hired and the bar/restaurant has seating for 250 people on two levels.

The Metro will be open from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesday through Sunday and will be closed on Monday and Tuesday.
