The Rabbit Hole Bar and Grill

The Rabbit Hole Bar and Grill is newer place in Old East Dallas that fits the neighborhood like a good worn glove. The bar food is far above average and the outdoor courtyard had a dog run. It’s the best of all of us. Be sure to tried the hand cut and panko-crusted fried mozzarella […]

Rayo Bar & Lounge

Rayo is the final stop before walking into the State Fair, or the first stop after. We don’t offer that as a warning, rather an emergency lever in case you get dragged to the fairgrounds one day against your will; tell ’em you’ll meet ’em outside. Rayo is a great bar with stellar bar food. […]

Razzoo’s Cajun Cafe (Firewheel Town Center)

Ridgewood-Belcher Recreation Center

While it’s certainly no Hurricane Harbor, the Splash Park at this White Rock rec center is definitely a step up from your garden hose. The large amoeba-shaped expanse has plenty of sprayers and fountains for kids and adults alike to frolic and get some relief from the scorching summer temperatures (through Labor Day). It also […]
