The popular restaurant, with two Dallas locations, Oak Lawn and Al Biernat’s North in the Metroplex, welcomed 2026 with its now highly anticipated New Year’s Eve party.
Throughout the season, guests gathered across both locations for brunch, lunch and dinner, enjoying prime-aged steaks, fresh seafood, breakfast offerings, signature sides and an expansive wine and cocktail program for an indulgent event by all accounts, and an escape from the holiday bustle. The restaurants’ private dining rooms and covered patios hosted group celebrations of all sizes, with prix-fixe menus available for parties of 16 or more and full menu service for smaller groups.
On New Year’s Eve, Oak Lawn and North began taking reservations at 5 p.m., and offered a zhuzhed-up version of its classic dinner menu for the holidays. At the Oak Lawn location, a late-night DJ began playing at 10 p.m., while guests at the final seating received festive party props and a complimentary champagne toast at midnight. The celebration continued into the early hours, and Al Biernat’s reopened for dinner on New Year’s Day at 5 p.m.
The restaurants also extended their hospitality beyond the dining room with off-site catering services, including professional staffing for private events, and a holiday gift card program that offered 10% back in promotional dining credit for 2026.
