The downstairs sibling to the Quadrangle’s theater-in-the-round, Theater Three, Theatre Too! is a smaller venue performing quirkier, darker productions, many of which are original. Whichever one you choose, it’ll certainly be a welcome departure from the typical boozing-with-bros that makes up the majority of Uptown’s nightlife scene. (Pro tip: The air conditioning can be a […]
Nestled into the Uptown plaza known as the Quadrangle, this black-box style theater-in-the-round’s location makes dinner and a show all too convenient (MoMo’s, Dream Cafe and the British Beverage Co. are all just a stone’s throw away). A diverse array of productions has included everything from Enron to Avenue Q. The concentric set-up means actors […]
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, Eddie “Lucky” Campbell knows a thing or two about bars. The long-time Dallas barkeep, who also owns the Standard Pour on McKinney Avenue and Parliament, resurrected the Thomas Avenue Beverage Company a decade after the original one closed. Campbell has created a space that is smart and […]
Three Links’ slogan is “We Never Sleep.” Take one look at its event calendar, and you will agree that these people never rest. Three Links advertises low-priced Tullamore Dew all day, every day and serves a wide selection of tap and bottled beers. If you get there just about any night of the week after […]

Thrive is equal parts nightclub, restaurant and lounge, depending on the time of day or night you drop by. All three Thrives are located in the same space on the ground floor of the Crowne Plaza Dallas Downtown. From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, Thrive Nightclub hosts DJs spinning hip-hop and […]
A cousin to Double and Single Wide, Thunderbird Station is located just outside of Deep Ellum proper on Commerce. With specialty cocktails like the Peel Out – a Push-Up Pop-inspired orange, vanilla and vodka drink – and upgraded spins on Southern favorites like sloppy joes, bologna sandwiches and Frito pie, Thunderbird Station takes its ‘50s […]
Tian Tian’s menu offers a thoughtful blend of Americanized favorites and traditional Chinese delicacies. The space is clean and modern, finished in warm tones. Tables are spread across the dining room, and while a bar sits in the back corner, there’s no posting up for a pre-meal drink, it’s more of a staging area. Diners […]
Two UT students opened their first store in 1999. In 2006, they transported their warm cookies so warm customers could pet them in almost inappropriate ways. This isn’t helped with specials like the All-Nighter Package. If you’re craving the snickerdoodle caress but can’t get downtown, don’t fret. Tiff’s Treats delivers — for a fee. Funny […]

This Deep Ellum staple serves a 100% plant-based menu with a slant towards Tex-Mex (tacos) with a Hawaiian twist along with an expansive coffee and tea selection.
Specialty tacos are nothing novel, but that hasn’t stopped restaurant chains from going over the top. Tin Star Taco Bar is a perfect example. The restaurant is the home of the cheeseburger taco. Naturally, innovation never rests. The cheeseburger taco (served with cheddar, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickle relish bacon and yellow mustard) is […]
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of Deep Ellum, Tina’s Continental is an intimate cocktail lounge that we can’t help but adore. Inside the historic Continental Gin Building, the tiny bar is cozy and inviting, with booths and chairs upholstered in leather the tone of butternut squash that pops against the […]
There are few seafood markets in Dallas as good as TJ’s. So go ahead and ogle the counter cases, with their beautiful and impeccably sourced cuts of fish, scallops, crab, lobster and more. Yes, shopping here can be more expensive than a trip to Tom Thumb, but that’s because TJ’s buys from ethical purveyors and […]

While Thai restaurants in North Texas are plentiful, not many offer Isan food, a cuisine originating in the northeast region of Thailand that has some Lao influence. Tomyumkung Thai Café in Carrollton, however, is one of the few that does, along with a variety of other Thai dishes served up in an authentic manner occasionally […]
The brightly colorful interior here conjures up images of a street food feast, and that’s exactly what you get. Because many of the dishes are huge and focused on one single element – a protein, for instance, or a papaya salad – you need to bring a group to get a balanced meal and sample […]
