Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Michael Irvin is continuing to be a playmaker, but this time off the field.
Dallas Cowboys fans will remember Irvin as the team’s star wide receiver. He played his entire 12-year career as number 88 after being drafted in the first round in 1988.
Michael Irvin earned the nickname “Playmaker” because of his ability to make crucial, game-changing plays throughout his college and professional football careers.
Fans will be pleased to know that Irvin is still demonstrating his knack for making big plays in DFW with the opening of Playmakers88, a sports bar and restaurant located in The Colony.
From looking at the Playmakers88 Facebook page, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy alcohol, scantily clad waitresses, TVs, and food.
“We aren’t messing around when it comes to hotties and good food. Of course there’s plenty of TVs and booze too,” the establishment posted.
NBC 5 DFW reported that Playmakers88 will officially open this Friday at 5 p.m. The grand opening will feature live music, celebrity appearances, and a stand-up comedian. The celebration will continue into the second day with giveaways, autographs, and more, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Here is more about Playmakers88, per NBC 5:
The restaurant plans to donate a percentage of proceeds made throughout the weekend celebration to the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Dallas, a cause close to Irvin’s heart and family.
“I am truly honored to create an upscale sports bar and restaurant where sports fans can cheer on their favorite teams and athletes while enjoying great food, cocktails, and company,” said Irvin. “My hope is that each person who visits Playmakers88 feels the excitement, energy and love that I have for the entire sports community and the overall DFW area.”
As visitors enter the contemporary-style restaurant, they are welcomed by a recreation of the renowned Ring of Honor, which showcases pictures of Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin — better known as “The Triplets.” Additional Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor members are on display around the bar area as well.
