Item 5 NarrativeA Family of American Pubs in Texas
The Ginger Man is a closely-knit family of American pubs in Texas. We strive to provide the
best selection of fine imported and domestic beer and wine in comfortable surroundings. We are
especially proud of our selections of Belgian ales and lambics, Oktoberfest brews, British &
German beers, and craft beer from microbreweries local to each pub as well as from across the
USA. Each of the Texas pubs has an outside beer garden as well as comfortable inside seating
areas. In the last year, we have added classic cocktails to our menu. As with our beer, our liquor
is a limited offering of traditional drinks.
We opened in Southlake nine years ago and believe that we have been a good neighbor and a
unique addition to the entertainment environment in Southlake. Our pubs create an environment
that invites conversation and interaction among our guests. We do not play music at ear-splitting
volumes, and while our pubs are uniformly popular and often operate at capacity, we are not a
loud and rowdy beer hall. Since we serve premium beer and wine (at prices appropriate to the
quality), we do not attract a huge crowd of young people looking for the most “buzz for a buck”.
Our clientele in Houston, Austin, and the Dallas-Ft. Worth area comprise a mixture of young
professionals and those more established, and an eclectic group of people with an interest in
premium and craft beers.
Our Houston pub opened in 1985, the Dallas and Austin locations in the mid 1990s, and Ft.
Worth and Plano more recently. All are successful, and we have developed an efficient
management style to complement the knowledge required to care for a large selection of various
styles of beer. We know what to serve, how to serve it properly, and how to be a good neighbor.
In summary, we feel The Ginger Man in Southlake will continue to be another successful
location for us, and an asset to the Southlake Town Center.
Our pubs are open Sunday through Saturday 2:00 pm to 2:00 am. Attached are pictures of our
location in Plano, pictures of our food offerings and a copy of our menus.
