The Rosewood Crescent Hotel reeks of old money. This could be because the decor in many of its 191 tastefully appointed guest rooms haven’t been updated in several years; then again, it could also be because of its proximity to a plethora of fancy-schmancy shopping and dining destinations. Nobu, Palomino, Arcodoro y Pomodoro, Stanley Korshak […]

This bar in East Dallas has an old soul. From two experienced barkeeps – original mixologist Gabe Sanchez, previously of Black Swan in Deep Ellum, and Ryan Payne – this is a slinky black dress with an attitude of indifference. Sip a cocktail like the Big Booty Trudy or order a boilermaker from the Churched […]
This Greenville Avenue classic offers typical bar fare, including burgers, sandwiches and pizza, and with several HD TVs blasting the big game, it’s the perfect spot to have a beer and support your team of choice. Much of the food is good, not great, but don’t miss the sweet potato fries, which are crispy and […]

George Haber and family’s American-Mediterranean small-plate eatery has the shell of a Greek taverna, the interior of a rustic café-sword-adorned stucco walls included-and the name of an Armenian lake. Selections of the eclectic tapas (kabobs, lamb, falafel, a BLT) can be had inside or on the patio with hummus, taking advantage of the BYOB policy. […]
While some bars are cozy and chill, Sidecar Social is anything but. It’s almost preposterously large, sprawling almost 20,000 square feet. The main bar is flanked on three sides by 18-foot televisions to catch the game. And instead of sitting around, Sidecar Social encourages friendly competition, with traditional bar games such as pingpong, darts and […]
The first Dallas outpost of a popular Colorado-based chain features some of the best shakes you’ll find in the city. Made with Haagen-Dazs ice cream (and very little mix), they are thick, creamy and will make you miss childhood pleasures all the more. The burgers-smashed, naturally-are meaty, dripping examples of Americana. For a quick service […]
Regulars at Smokey Joe’s know that its bricks of fabulously tender and minimally treated pork ribs are unbeatable. And owner Kris Manning’s personal passion happens to be brisket, which might be why his has become the best brisket between Cattleack and Waco. Its balance – not overly smoky, not harshly seasoned, fabulously tender and moist […]
Owned by the gentlemen who brought you South Dallas’ swanky retro bar Cedars Social (a secret agent-themed upscale bar and restaurant), Smyth is a lush cocktail bar with a permeating ’70s vibe. Trained servers do not simply take your orders at Smyth – they seat you in one of the eight exclusive booths, which require […]

Since 1996, this bar and grill has been knocking out customers with its lauded chicken-fried steak, not to mention its burgers. Predictable, as is the classic and indie rock-heavy jukebox, we know, but the ravenous droves who populate the place speak for themselves. On the way home from a night of tossing ’em back, a […]
In this city, there are greasy burger joints and there are joints with good greasy burgers. Snuffer’s is one of the latter. The lower Greenville hot spot (other locations are scattered across the metroplex) offers the epitome of hangover relief in a hand-formed patty that is oh-so-guilt-inducing. Made to order, the devil burgers are not […]
Southside Steaks and Cakes first popped up on many a radar when the family-owned restaurant in South Dallas – situated within 1,000 feet of Fair Park – was added as a concessionaire to the State Fair in 2021. Then, in 2022 fireworks went off when its prison-food-inspired Peanut Butter Paradise won a Big Tex Choice […]
This Deep Ellum landmark has held steady as the scene around it ebbs and flows for more than 20 years now. St. Pete’s straddles the line between a restaurant with a reliably high-caliber kitchen and a bar where anyone can grab a stool and a beer. At the end of the day, every neighborhood needs […]
Destined to be known as that other pizzeria in Deep Ellum, Stonedeck Pizza Pub gives the neighborhood a slice it has never seen before. While Cane Rosso focuses on light, almost wispy Neapolitan pies, Stonedeck offers what they call classic American thin-crust pizza. The description is a mouthful and so are their pizzas. Apart from […]

In case you’re wondering about the name, this historic watering hole used to be a pharmacy – called the Stoneleigh Pharmacy. It’s as classy as you’d expect an Uptown bar to be, yet still manages a humble, welcoming, aw-shucks vibe. The parking lot may be full of luxury cars, but any place that sells $2 cans […]
This movie theater is located off Merchants Row in Arlington. Amenities include a lobby bar, in-theater dining, stadium seating, free parking, wheelchair access, reserved seating and Dolby 3D.
Sugar Factory is, in fact, a “family-friendly” spot. It’s a healthy mix of over-the-top bubbling boozy drinks with colossal burgers and ginormous milkshakes. There are kids dancing in front of the DJ stage alongside groups of adults enjoying a night out, some dressed to the nines, some more casually. There are 49 cocktails on the drink […]
If you haven’t made the drive up to McKinney in a while, now may be the time to gas up your car. The quaint little town to our north is becoming almost as well known for its travel-worthy restaurants as it is for police assaults. Adorably named Sugarbacon stands to further the trend (the food […]
