Damasita Izakaya

In its first incarnation, Damasita was a tavern with fried foods and bar drinks. After a change of ownership, the dining room has calmed down and become homier, and the menu focuses on traditional cooking. Grab the city’s best gimbap to go – the two-inch-wide rolls, which resemble extra-large maki sushi but with added vegetables, […]

Dan’s Silverleaf

Down the street a bit from the Denton Square is the longstanding bar and music venue Dan’s Silverleaf. Decorated with local art and photos of local musicians, the atmosphere at Dan’s is welcoming to all passersby. With shows held weekly (if not daily) Dan’s is an excellent place to stop in even if you have […]

Deep Ellum Art Co.

Deep Ellum Art Co. is in one of the most trafficked neighborhoods in Dallas, so it makes sense that you’d find a spot that offers live music, lots of art and a good mix of drinks and grub from food trucks. The inside space is a whopping 5,000 square feet and boasts of being home […]
