Although restaurant officials are still working to determine an opening date, the first Cypress location of Pluckers Wing Bar is on target to open in early 2018 at 25310 Hwy. 290, Cypress, near the Skinner Road intersection.

The Austin-based restaurant is known for its chicken wings—which are served with a choice of more than 20 homemade sauces—and for broadcasting football games and other sporting events. Besides the wings, popular menu options include the Holy Macaroni and the Bypass Burger, topped with bacon, cheddar, grilled onions and jalapenos.

Other Houston area locations also host events and weekly specials, including trivia nights, discounts for teachers and weekend drink specials. Diners can also join the Pluckers Club to earn points that can be used to get discounts and free items. www.pluckers.com/posts/location/cypress
