- Located in restored 100+ year-old grain silos in downtown Celina
- Features include private cabanas, firepits, an outdoor stage, and a 32-foot observation deck
- Executive Chef Tony Sanchez curates distinct menus for each concept
- Designed as a modern-day “adult playground” with Texas hospitality at its core
The Vision Behind the Silos In Celina
The Silos in Celina is the result of a post-pandemic dream shared by owners Michael and Kim Arani and Director of Operations Eric Harnett, who brought decades of hospitality experience to the project. Their goal? To create an “authentic Texas experience” in a one-of-a-kind space that blends rustic charm with elevated service.
Harnett calls the venue an “adult playground,” a phrase that captures the diverse energy found throughout the space—from whiskey tastings and firepit chats to fine wine and Wagyu meatballs. For co-owner Kim Arani, the priority is simple yet meaningful:
“I wanted this to be upscale and welcoming. I wanted people to walk in and be treated like family.”

Explore the Three Core Concepts
🍽️ The Restaurant
The fine-dining hub of the Silos, the main restaurant features refined American fare in a sophisticated setting. Rich leather seating, brown tones, and an extensive whiskey and wine collection define the space. Diners can enjoy dishes like Beef Wellington, Steak Frites, and Crab & Jalapeño Hush Puppies, all crafted under the guidance of Chef Tony Sanchez, whose culinary roots include work with Michelin-starred chefs.
A private upstairs room and balcony overlook the yard, offering an elevated view and a perfect space for private events or overflow seating. Reservations are highly recommended.
🌿 The Yard
Outdoorsy, casual, and buzzing with energy, The Yard is a massive open-air space designed for relaxation and socializing. Think picnic tables, striped umbrellas, live music, and shareable comfort food. Popular menu items include Jumbo Wings, Brisket Tacos, Fried Pickles, and Waffle Fries—best enjoyed with a cold drink in hand by one of the eight cozy firepits.
Additional features include:
- Seven rentable cabanas, each with a TV and personal service
- A 14-foot media wall for game days
- A raised stage for live performances and DJ nights
🥃 Cigar & Cocktail Lounge
Hidden within one of the original 115-year-old grain silos is Celina’s only cigar lounge—a speakeasy-style gem that oozes atmosphere. Featuring exposed brick, moody lighting, and premium leather chairs, the lounge is built for indulgence and connection.
Inside, Chris the Cigar Aficionado oversees a carefully curated humidor, offering:
- Boutique cigars
- House blends (Maduro, Habano, Connecticut)
- Heritage brands like Arturo Fuente and Drew Estate
- Infused options including Deadwood Tobacco and Tabak
**Guests can pair cigars with crafted cocktails from Maya, the resident mixologist, and enjoy small bites like Wagyu Mini Dogs and Bayou Bites. No reservations required.**

A New Icon in Downtown Celina
At nearly 40,000 square feet, The Silos is more than just a venue — it’s a downtown anchor, helping shape Celina’s emerging identity as a destination for dining and entertainment. From the 32-foot observation deck (the tallest publicly accessible viewpoint in the city) to the historic character of the silos themselves, every detail celebrates both past and present.
The venue is also well-suited for private events, from weddings and corporate gatherings to birthday parties and casual meetups. Indoor and outdoor spaces can be customized for any occasion.
