A new location for The Brass Tap is coming to 557 E. US Highway 80 in Forney, Texas. According to available documents, construction was expected to be completed in October 2024. However, completion does not necessarily mean the bar is open, and as of February 2025, there has been no official announcement regarding its opening date.
