Haywire rooftop opens après-ski pop-up at Legacy West

Haywire at Legacy West transformed its rooftop into an après-ski–themed pop-up called Après Haywire that opened Jan. 8 and runs through Feb. 8, 2026. The seasonal installation converts the restaurant’s outdoor space into a ski-lodge atmosphere with fireside cocktails, faux-fur throws, fire pits and alpine-style photo opportunities designed to extend Legacy West’s winter nightlife offerings.

The pop-up launched with an opening event on Jan. 8 from 6–9 p.m. that featured live music, a branding iron station and a custom hat bar. Organizers positioned the event as a rooftop, après-ski experience, bringing curated cocktails and lodge-style décor to an area of Plano better known for shopping and office towers. The rooftop setting aims to attract local diners, groups celebrating winter gatherings and visitors already frequenting Legacy West.

For patrons, Après Haywire alters the evening scene at Legacy West by adding covered, heated outdoor seating that prioritizes atmosphere as much as food and drink. The combination of fire pits and faux-fur throws targets colder evenings and gives guests a distinct, seasonal reason to choose Haywire for dinner or a night out. For nearby businesses and the hospitality sector, the pop-up is likely to extend foot traffic into late winter weekends and provide another programming option for Plano’s event calendar.

Practical considerations for residents: the pop-up runs through Feb. 8, so the window for the themed experience is limited. Rooftop spaces with fire pits and curated setups tend to fill quickly on weekend evenings; guests seeking the full après-ski ambiance should plan ahead and reserve rooftop seating through Haywire’s reservation channels. Expect a convivial environment geared toward small groups and photo-friendly moments.

Après Haywire is a seasonal, experiential offer rather than a permanent change to Haywire’s operations. Its presence underscores a trend among Legacy West restaurants to deploy themed pop-ups to draw residents and visitors during slower retail months and to diversify nighttime programming in Collin County.

The takeaway? If you want a fireside cocktail and ski-lodge vibes without leaving Plano, plan for a rooftop reservation and go early — the atmosphere is the main draw, and this one runs only until Feb. 8. Our two cents? Treat it like a short winter escape and bring friends; the rooftop fills fast, and it’s best enjoyed with a plan.
