Opening Bell Coffee

Good tunes and bangin’ cups of joe are a given at Opening Bell Coffee. With one of the longest-running open mic nights in DFW, the shop’s stage has seen the likes of Leon Bridges, Charley Crockett and many who have gone on to compete on NBC's The Voice and American Idol. Patrons who attend the shop's open mic will often catch an early glimpse of the next big thing in the local music scene. Whether it’s during an open mic or a show featuring a national touring act, you can sit back and soak in the music while getting cracked out on something off their Java menu. Depending on what you plan to order, you might consider bringing a pair of boxing gloves too. Consisting of a 16-ounce drip coffee mixed with two shots of espresso just for fun, Opening Bell’s Black Eye packs a punch that might knock you on your feet. If you’re not down for coffee, you can always grab a beer or a glass of wine and order something tasty off the food menu, like a sandwich, soup or salad.
