See you in San Antonio, July 12-13, 2026!
ONE INDUSTRY. ONE WEEKEND.
ONE SHOW TO GET BUSINESS DONE.
The 2026 Texas Restaurant Show is bringing the entire hospitality industry together like never before.
Following the Texas Restaurant Association’s acquisition of the Texas Bar & Nightclub Alliance and the Texas Bar & Nightclub Convention, the Show now unites restaurant, bar, nightclub, and hospitality operators under one roof - this is not just a scheduling alignment. It is a deliberate move to bring food and beverage together in one place, at one time, for one purpose: helping operators run stronger, more profitable businesses.
For years, restaurant and bar owners have had to divide attention, budgets, and teams across multiple events. Now, everything they need lives under one roof as the Texas Restaurant Show, presented by Eat Local. Eat Often. will now feature within its show floor, the Bar & Nightclub Showcase.
What This Means for Exhibitors and for Operators - One show. One weekend. Total access to the full hospitality ecosystem.
Adding even more energy to the event, the inaugural Lone Star Tapas Showdown - the first officially sanctioned World Tapas Competition event in the United States - will bring chefs, culinary talent, media attention, and live competition directly to the Show floor.
