The development of a bar and brewpub in the former site of Little Elm Crafthouse is moving forward.Â
In its Tuesday meeting, the Little Elm Town Council unanimously approved the issuance of a specific use permit for a pending craft beer bar named Almost Home Taphouse. Records indicate that an LLC with the same name was registered to an address in Oak Point in February, four months before the permit was recommended for approval by the Little Elm Planning and Zoning Commission.Â
Almost Home Taphouse will be located at 850 W. Eldorado Parkway, in the same strip mall as Jimmy's Big Burgers, Margarita Hut To-Go and Sawaii Indian Restaurant. The business will occupy 1,859 square feet of space, 355 of which would comprise an outdoor patio.Â
According to town planning documents, the applicants are planning to get Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission certification for beer and wine only, with all the beverages having to be consumed on the premises (many craft bars offer alcohol to-go via growlers.)Â
The applicant still has to procure a certificate of occupancy and undergo other measures. Still, Almost Home Taphouse is actively running a Facebook page and said on Thursday that they tentatively expect to open in September.Â
