Douglas Bar and Grill to Close March 30
Diners have a final chance to visit Douglas Bar and Grill before the Snider Plaza restaurant closes its doors on March 30.
Douglas serves BBQ staples and prime steaks, with a mix of southern favorites. It will continue taking Easter holiday orders through March 27.

Park Cities native Pickering saw his business grow from a backyard Big Green Egg where he cooked a single brisket at a time. He said he is taking a break primarily to focus on his family, including his three children, ages 4, 2, and 11 months. Snider Plaza’s parking crunch and economic challenges have also played a role in his decision to close.
“It was a tough decision to make, but at the end of the day I had to choose my family over my business,” he said. “You can always make money back, but you can’t get time back.”
