The highly anticipated Harvest Hall, inside Grapevine Main Station, is set to open to the public on Saturday from 11 a.m. – 11 p.m., with Main Line Coffee Bar opening at 6 a.m. and live music from Noon – 1 a.m. inside Third Rail, an exclusive indoor/outdoor entertainment venue.
Harvest Hall, a European-style food hall, is a spacious food and entertainment venue part of Grapevine Main, a $114-million-dollar public/private sector transit-oriented development project, according to a news release from the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau. Harvest Hall — located at the intersection of Main Street and Dallas Road in Historic Downtown Grapevine — will feature thoughtfully selected restaurateurs who showcase high-quality, chef-driven specialty foods. Each kitchen is family-owned-and-operated and focuses on preparing meals that are made from scratch.
When guests enter Grapevine Main Station, reminiscent of 19th century grand rail stations of America, they will be greeted by the Grapevine Concierge Team located in the new home of the Grapevine Visitor Information Center, majestic 40-foot ceilings, a colorful mural that pays homage to Grapevine’s rich heritage and the seven kitchens of Harvest Hall.
Featured Kitchens Include:
Arepa TX – Latin Kitchen specializes in Latin cuisine and artisanal pops.

Harvest Hall will provide guests savory food, spectacular service and some of the best entertainment in North Texas.”
Opening later this spring, additional elements of the 42,000-square foot rail station will open to the public, including Grapevine Main Plaza, large enough to accommodate 3,500 guests, yet intimate enough to lose yourself in the feeling and romance of all that is Grapevine, and a 150-foot-tall Observation Tower, according to the news release. The expansive 38,000-square-foot Plaza will also include the “Peace Circle” art display, with larger-than-life bronze sculptures, depicting an 1843 peace treaty negotiation between then President of the Texas Republic, Sam Houston and ten American Indian Chiefs/leaders. It will also include a regular entertainment schedule. The Observation Tower will offer 360-degree views of the city and beyond. Grapevine Main Station is the only brick and mortar building servicing the 27-mile Trinity Metro TEXRail commuter rail line and Grapevine Vintage Railroad and it contains modern amenities, including meeting and office space and more.
All of these offerings are connected to Hotel Vin, a six-story, 120-room Marriott Autograph Collection property and a 552-space parking garage.
