Emerald City Lounge is the first cannabis lounge of its kind in DFW, offering a safe and legal space for guests to enjoy hemp-derived consumable products. Cannabis lounges are still a new concept—especially in Texas, where lawmakers continue to debate regulations and push for stricter laws.
“Emerald customers have been asking for this for years,” owner Candice Stinnett said. “The number one request is connection and community. People just want to hang out with other people who also enjoy some good quality herb.”
Redefining social spaces with cannabis
From the moment guests walk through the doors, the lounge is designed to help them unwind and feel at ease. Cannabis-trained and certified staff guide consumers on proper dosing, product selection and consumption methods.
Daytime visitors enter a serene space with soft lighting, cozy seating, coffee and charging stations—perfect for working or relaxing. The subtle scent of cannabis and gentle background music create a calming, sophisticated atmosphere.
In the evening, the lounge comes alive. Guests gather at the bud bar to socialize while a D.J. spins music on Emerald’s entertainment stage. Unlike a typical bar, cannabis heightens the senses, encouraging conversation, laughter and new connections, making experiences at Emerald City Lounge unforgettable.
Cannabis crafted for every taste
No matter what time guests visit, they can count on an elevated menu of safe, 3rd party lab tested and fully legal hemp-derived products.
Infused drinks, including THC- and CBD-infused seltzers, fruit punches and alcohol-free takes on classic mixed drinks, helps consumers to foster a sense of community while reducing the stigma associated with cannabis use.
Guests can enjoy a variety of individually crafted elixirs, including:
- CANN: Grapefruit Rosemary (2 mg THC: 4 mg CBD)
- Willie’s Remedy: Strawberry Watermelon (5 mg THC: 2 mg CBD)
- Cheeg and Chongs: Rolling Loud-Fruit Punch (10 mg THC)
- Cycling Frog: Margarita Mocktail (10 mg THC: 10 mg CBD)
Flower:
- Pineapple Express (sativa)
- Candyland (hybrid)
- Danky Kong (indica)
- Blue Dream (sativa)
- Super Boof (hybrid)
- Northern Lights (indica)
Education is the foundation of the Emerald City Lounge’s approach. All staff are cannabis-certified and trained to help pilot guests on selecting products that align with their goals—whether that’s pain relief, relaxation, creativity or social enjoyment.
For newcomers, this personalized support removes any intimidation ensuring a confident, comfortable first experience. At the same time, experienced consumers can rely on staff expertise to explore new strains and consumption methods, allowing them to elevate their experience and try products they might not encounter elsewhere.
“Built with purpose, our jam is educating our community, serving you all with the cleanest and greenest products from certified sources, and have a great time while doing it,” Stinnett said.
Events to relax, have fun and socialize
Emerald City Lounge offers a variety of events throughout the week, designed to engage the community, encourage socialization and provide fun, relaxing or creative experiences.
- Wednesday: Wellness Wednesday - yoga, sound baths and other wellness-focused activities to help guests unwind and recharge.
- Thursday: Ladies Night - social gatherings with DJs, puff and paint sessions and creative workshops.
- Friday: DJ nights with music for a lively start to the weekend.
- Saturday: live music in the evening followed by a DJ set, offering a dynamic, energetic nightlife experience.
“We’ve pioneered a new business model in Fort Worth. To continue evolving this industry, I hope this concept, with a commitment to consumer safety and knowledge, is built in every city.” Stinnett said.
