The Belmont Hotel is Dallas’ very own boutique hotel. It’s a diamond in the rough, really, in the virtual no-man’s-land of West Dallas. But what many people are starting to find out, including Esquire Magazine, is that it houses one of the best bars in the city. Meandering around the hotel grounds is encouraged. Pathways […]
Its building was originally an open air barn built over a century ago to hold cattle for the Fort Worth Stock Show. Since then it has served as an airplane factory and department store before arriving at its true calling in 1981, opening its doors at Billy Bob’s Texas, self-billed as “the world’s largest honky […]
Bin 555 has a kids’ lounge–Wii, Xbox, Playstation, Net surfing, kid movies and chicken fingers and mac and cheese and so on (don’t you dare eat it in the lounge). But it also has wine and savvy bistro food like asparagus with fried egg, veal meatballs with vanilla bean and grilled quail served on bed […]
The interior is small. Dark accent paneling climbs halfway up the red brick walls, which are adorned by a handful of flat-screen TVs. A copper-top bar spans the entire space, and two clear garage-style doors divide the interior from the half-covered patio, where most of the seating is. The menu, like everything else, is German-themed. […]

If you need help deciding, the owners choose every […]
The Boiler Room, located on Elm Street across from Dada in Deep Ellum, received a facelift less than a year after opening. The place still has the general dark feel, with its black painted walls, curtains and neon lights, but the changes, which include a full menu and stage for performances from area rock bands, […]
Just the concept of local ingredients trucked in from the farm every day, the reliance on organic meats and vegetables, and the ever-changing menu would be enough to attract enough of a following to sustain this small Oak Cliff station. But the kitchen is pretty damn good too-even without a deep fryer or walk-in freezer […]
The Bone has been a Deep Ellum mainstay for nearly two decades. It’s a great hangout for locals and a great place to catch a band, but the real beauty of the place is in its patrons. Being a Deep Ellum bar means being a melting pot for hipster, hip-hoppers, bikers, and just about anyone […]

Lying out of sight, The Branca Room is a speakeasy of sorts behind Chimichurri Bistro in the heart of the Bishop Arts District. To find it, slip down the alley just west of Eno’s and look for the red light hanging above the unmarked door. It’s self-described as a ceremonious atmosphere honoring the Argentine culture […]

Broncos Sports Bar and Grill in Hurst is certainly no one-trick pony. Though the words “sports bar” have made their way into Bronco’s title, and the place is filled with bar games, billiards and arcade games, Broncos is known as a country music hub in the Mid-Cities. Opened in 1989 by former NFL players Ron […]
