Beer Brews on Tap
UNION BEAR
Union Bear is a brewery and restaurant concept inspired by a West Coast casual beer approach fused with local roots in North TX. The space is driven by a signature line of craft beers and complemented by an extensive bar offering and menu of approachable, chef-driven plates. Access to the brewers working inside the space and a highly trained staff round out the personalized experience aimed at bringing elevated food & drink pairings. The location offers indoor and outdoor seating with ample parking and access to the Boardwalk with great views of the water from the back patio.
UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY
The third floor of one of the nation’s largest and most unique food halls, Legacy Hall, houses a fully functioning craft brewery, Unlawful Assembly Brewery & Tap Room, featuring classic pub fare and 21 operating tanks used to crank out its portfolio of premium year-round beers, along with a rotating tap selection of highly creative, collaborative and seasonal beers. The brewery opened with six premium beers: the Antagonist Amber Lager, Public Dissent Pale Ale, Deviant Behavior Belgian Wit, Real American Brown Ale, Idol Time Passion Pineapple Wheat, and Barrel Aged Brown Ale.

Coffee Brews
1418 COFFEEHOUSE
1418 Coffeehouse in downtown Plano has a living room-style feel with several couches and chairs for you to relax in. Aside from their locally-roasted coffee options, they also serve delectable pie slices from the popular Emporium Pies as well as house-made sandwiches.
MUDLEAF COFFEE
Walk into a very BOHO vibe at this hidden gem coffee joint. Mud Leaf offers a full espresso bar, and non-coffee favorites such as chai tea, apple cider, and hot chocolate. They use locally roasted beans from Cultivar Coffee. Some of their “favorites” include maple bacon latte, lavender honey latte, wedding latte, mocha latte, and a lavender London fog.
STARBUCKS RESERVE
Starbucks Reserve at Legacy West celebrates the demand for quality coffee. Don’t fret; they carry the usual Starbucks menu, but much more. Starbucks Reserve includes a full selection of their reserve unique brews and small-batch coffees. These are the rarest coffees from very remote farms with limited harvests. At the Reserve bar, customers can order from a large selection of these rare coffees and have them brewed like normal Starbucks drinks or as pour-overs. This is the second location in Texas and among only a few across the country.
