Cold Beer Co. is a low-key beer garden on the east end of Deep Ellum – east enough that East Dallas locals get split custody. The bartenders are attentive and knowledgeable, and the place has a fantastic selection of local beer: 24 taps with 36 more options in cans, some that rotate seasonally. And, perhaps […]

One of the more popular modern galleries amongst the city’s art aficionados, this Design District gallery’s plain brick exterior belies the avant-garde works you’ll find inside. Bathing suits encrusted in nails? Random-seeming arrays of switches, wires and speakers that create “sound art”? Childlike drawings scrawled on old book covers? Check, check and check.

Hand-cut Italian Carrera marble, dark-wood paneling, leather, gas lamp, a water wall and its location – below street level – give Dakota’s an oasis touch.
