Boxcar

Boxcar is our favorite new bar in Dallas. Hands down. This tiny sliver of a space is fashioned to look like a old-timey luxury passenger train car. Instead of actual windows, TVs line the walls all synced to passing landscapes. Elegant and mysterious (who knows where you’re going!), the only thing this spot needs is […]

Bryan Street Tavern

It’s a wild scene at Bryan Street Tavern on weekends. Indie-rock and punk acts perform in the music venue, a separate room located in the back of the bar, while other patrons play pool or sit and eat pizza from the bar’s kitchen. A glass shatters on the floor, but only a few look up […]

Cafe Duro

Cafe Duro is a new all-day spot from Duro Hospitality, the same group responsible for the adjacent restaurant, Sister, as well as The Charles.

Candle Room

What will you find inside this members-only Henderson-area hangout? Pretty people pounding equally pretty (if pricey) cocktails and having a blast on the dance floor. The dress code is strictly enforced, so leave the flip-flops and football jersey at home.

Capitol Pub

With an extensive draft and bottled beer selection, dartboards and dark wood, this watering hole has must-stop written all over it. This is further proven by the barhopping mobs along the stretch of Henderson on which Capitol is located.

Casa Rosa

Casa Rosa originally opened in 1981 and for more than two decades lorded over Tex-Mex in the Park Cities. After several spin offs and closure, the iconic spot noted for bringing fajitas to Dallas, reopened this year along Lemmon Avenue. And thankfully it’s back to its old wonderful self proving that good Tex-Mex is for […]

Central Market

The big sellers at this nifty little restaurant within the supermarket are the pizzas and, no surprise, the wraps, like the veggie selection. However, the menu hits all the culinary possibilities. There are Asian dishes, like the shrimp stir-fry, pastas, lasagna, salads (Cobb, anyone?) and a kids menu. The specialties offered include pan-roasted salmon Ni

Charlie’s Creole Kitchen

Big Easy transplants the McGuinness clan opened Dodie’s in 1989. They serve family-inspired recipes that are a gumbo blend of Cajun and New Orleans cuisine.

CheapSteaks

Chilangos Tacos

This East Dallas Chilangos Tacos locations is much like the original: brilliant unfussy tacos.

Chiloso Mexican Bistro

This locally owned fast casual spot offers bowls, tacos and all the usual suspects, but pay close attention to the grilled avocados here. Topped with your choice of meet and in a pool of queso, this is the dish that sets this spot apart. Chiloso also has breakfast tacos. Be sure to get a house-made […]
