This week, it came to light that Patagonia in Deep Ellum is shutting down. Meanwhile, Queen’s Head Pub is reportedly looking forward to a May opening.
Patagonia, the clothing and gear store for sporty and outdoorsy customers, opened in 2021 and is expected to close on April 23 at 2626 Main St., according to D Magazine. The reasoning? Deep Ellum’s ever-changing vibe.
“Changes in the surrounding neighborhood have made it difficult to maintain a long‑term, sustainable future for the location as the area has trended more toward restaurants and nightlife than retail foot traffic,” spokesperson J.J. Huggins said to The Dallas Morning News. “This move comes after careful deliberation and consideration for our team.”
Patagonia will reportedly continue working with wholesale partners and local environmental activists, according to The Dallas Morning News.
Around the corner at 2713 Elm St. is the incoming Queen’s Head Pub, to be nestled among the likes of Trees, Armoury D.E. and Club Dada in the former Brick & Bones space.
This is the second launch from Deep Ellum Collective, which is looking to open neighborhood-revitalizing hospitality concepts, according to CultureMap Dallas.
The new pub’s tagline is “long live the local” — an interesting choice for an English pub in Dallas.
“Queen’s Head Pub is what happens when a proper English pub puts down roots in Texas. Part London, part Deep Ellum, all neighborhood local,” reads the pub’s about page on its website. “Full pints, hearty plates and the kind of friendly atmosphere you only get where people actually know each other’s names. We’re for after-work regulars, match-day diehards, first dates, old mates and anyone looking for a place that feels instantly familiar. Around here, loyalty is royalty, and the crown belongs to whoever’s sitting next to you.”
The full menu isn’t available yet on Queen’s Head’s website, but it is expected to include “shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, fish and chips, shareable plates, and a well-curated bar.”
