Rex's Bar & Grill is closing out the year by combining an elevated New Year's Eve dining and live music experience with a packed lineup of official college football watch parties and bowl game celebrations that will keep Fort Worth buzzing through the holiday season. The establishment's dual approach to holiday entertainment demonstrates how local venues are adapting to serve diverse customer preferences during peak celebration periods.
Headlining the season is Rex's signature New Year's Eve celebration titled "One Night. One Table. One Incredible New Year." The New Year's Eve Dinner & Live Concert takes place on Wednesday, December 31, featuring live music by Taylor Young & The Party Crowd from 9:30 PM to 12:30 AM. Guests can enjoy a thoughtfully curated Dinner + Concert Package for $99 per couple, which includes filet mignon dinner for two, champagne toast, dessert, and two concert tickets. Concert-only tickets are also available for $10. Designed for guests looking to skip crowded bars and overpriced parties, Rex's NYE experience delivers a seamless night of great food, live entertainment, and a midnight countdown all at one table. Tickets are available now at https://dinner-concert-nye.tripleseattickets.com/registration/select.
In addition to New Year's Eve, Rex's Bar & Grill is proud to serve as an official watch party destination for several marquee college football bowl games. On New Year's Day, Rex's will open early for the Orange Bowl, serving brunch starting at 9:30 AM ahead of the 11:00 AM kickoff as an official Texas Tech watch party. Texas Tech fans can expect a high-energy atmosphere, brunch cocktails, and a true game-day experience. Rex's will host fans for the Armed Forces Bowl on January 2 at 12pm, followed by a planned pub crawl that extends the celebration beyond the final whistle and into Fort Worth's nightlife.
With the Cotton Bowl taking place locally at AT&T Stadium on December 31 at 6:30pm, Rex's will serve as a prime post-game destination, welcoming fans for late-night food, drinks, and after-party energy following the game. Rex's will also show the iconic Rose Bowl on January 1 at 3pm, continuing its tradition as a premier destination for college football's biggest moments. Known for its elevated menu, craft cocktails, spacious bar, and high-definition screens, Rex's Bar & Grill has become a favorite gathering spot for sports fans, live music lovers, and guests looking for a premium yet welcoming atmosphere.
The coordinated scheduling of these events represents a strategic approach to holiday business operations that maximizes venue utilization during what is traditionally a challenging period for restaurants and bars. By offering both formal dining experiences and casual sports viewing opportunities, Rex's caters to different celebration preferences while creating multiple revenue streams. This model could influence how other entertainment venues structure their holiday programming, particularly in markets with strong college football followings. The events also contribute to local economic activity by keeping entertainment dollars within the community rather than having residents travel elsewhere for bowl game celebrations or New Year's Eve festivities.
