While City Works officially opens its doors on December 9, diners will have the opportunity to preview the eatery and pour house with the “First Draft” Soft Opening Charity Event. Guests can be the first to explore Fort Worth’s newest restaurant and enjoy select dishes and an open bar while supporting Cook Children’s. The concept comes to The Shops at Clearfork by way of Bottleneck Management, offering over 90 local, regional, and global craft beers, with nearly half of those sourced locally, paired with upscale American cuisine.

One hundred percent of ticket sale proceeds for the First Draft soft opening event will be donated to Cook Children’s, which works to improve the health of every child in the region through the prevention and treatment of illness, disease, and injury. Guests are also encouraged to bring a brand new teddy bear to be donated to Cook Children’s, which are given to patients who need encouragement or support after a painful procedure, during a lengthy stay, or during difficult times. Teddy bears must be brand new with tags on and with no religious sayings.
