This teeny-tiny “alternative theater” in Expo Park may have relatively limited resources, with room for only 45 patrons, but its productions — many of the originals penned by ensemble members — pack a punch. The resident troupe puts on some of the more envelope-pushing productions you’ll encounter in the Dallas theater scene, from slapstick workplace […]

When Oddfellows brought in chef Anastacia Quiñones to introduce a dinner menu, Bishop Arts had no idea what it was in for. The all-day-breakfast diner, famous for coffee, waffles and hipster patrons, is now even better at dinnertime. Indeed, the fabled brunches that drove gentrifying Oak Cliff types to stand in hourlong lines Sunday mornings […]
While Italian cuisine has defined Julian Barsotti’s other restaurant ventures, Odelay is his first foray into Tex-Mex. It’s the cuisine Barsottoi missed most when he lived out of state, and Odelay is an homage to those memorable meals with a focus on high-quality ingredients without compromises. That means wagyu brisket from Rosewood Ranch that makes […]
Owner Dwight Harvey and son started Off The Bone as a catering venture, but the pecan wood-smoked ribs garnered enough followers that Harvey Sr. was able to free himself from the shackles of a day job. The spotlight here is on the shredded brisket as thick as a fist, barely containable by its whole grain […]

It all started as a hipster wet dream: a semi-quiet spot in Deep Ellum to browse through vinyl records while drinking beer – exposed brick walls included. But record shop + bar Off the Record became a line-down-the-block, the-doorman-doesn’t-know-you hotspot thanks to a constant nightly rotation of Dallas’ best DJs. The small space found new […]
This Oak Cliff collective offers art lovers the chance to not only purchase works of art, but to create their own via workshops and classes in an insane variety of media, from shooting Polaroids and writing manifestos to making natural beauty products or weaving baskets. There are kids’ classes too, if you suspect your rug […]
Owner Ben Ojeda’s modest culinary beginnings began when the owner supplemented his Army rations with chiles and veggies during World War II. In 1969, he and wife Cecilia Ruiz (Mama Ojeda) rented the old Peter Pan Grill and opened this staple of the Dallas Tex-Mex restaurant scene. The rich and famous (President Bill Clinton and […]
Ojeda’s is unabashedly Tex-Mex, without even a hint of “Fresh-Mex,” “Mod-Mex” or any other such stabs at upscale Mexican and/or healthy food. Sometimes you just gotta have a chili relleno or some enchiladas smothered in greasy chili, and if that’s what you’re craving, Ojeda’s is the place for you. Other menu options include tacos, fajitas, […]

Old 75 Beer Garden is on the southbound side of Central Expressway and is 20,000 square feet of picnic tables, oak trees, as well as two separate bars if you’d prefer to do your drinking under a roof. There’s a stage for live music that will be on hand most nights of the week. And […]
The humble Old Crow is wholly unpretentious, and it’s just the kind of dive bar that you’d make a beeline for directly after getting dumped. No, it’s not the fanciest club in all of Dallas, but it’s still got a certain je ne sais quoi that keeps patrons coming back week after week. Want to […]
Old Hickory Steakhouse is newer and fancier than its name implies. Just like the Gaylord Hotel it resides inside, it’s pretty grand, with a circular staircase, leather booths, lots of dark wood and a granite bar with a fireplace. The “steakhouse” part of the name definitely rings true, though – the menu showcases huge slabs […]
The Old Monk on opened in 1998 along Henderson Avenue and has been a Dallas staple since. Generations have given this place their days, sipping dark beer through the night, followed by brunch behind big sunglasses in the morning. Their fish and chips are tops in the city. The bar has draft beers from around […]

This tiny University Park outpost serves genuine Neapolitan pizza pies smoldered in a brick oven fueled by split oak. Housemade tomato sauce (secret process) is simmered from tomatoes imported from Italy. Housemade mozzarella too. Crust is thin, crackly, moist and pillowy in all the right places. When the ovens and cooks are riding on the […]
