Mutts Canine Cantina, a well-loved dog-friendly restaurant located at the Shops at Clearfork in Fort Worth, has announced its permanent closure. The owners revealed the decision on June 29, stating that all locations, including the one in Fort Worth, will no longer operate.
In addition to this closure, several restaurants across the Dallas-Fort Worth area are offering special deals in celebration of America's 250th birthday and the Fourth of July. These limited-time promotions aim to attract diners looking to enjoy festive meals over the holiday weekend.
A new dining option is set to emerge in Old Town Keller, where an upscale steakhouse named Hops Kitchen + Bar will be developed. The restaurant, created by the team behind a popular nearby establishment, is scheduled to break ground in August 2026 and is expected to open in the summer of 2027.
Fort Worth has also received recognition as the second-best city in Texas for celebrating the Fourth of July, highlighting its patriotic spirit during the summer season.
