Dallas this weekend.. LSU Game

McKinney Ave has ton of bars. That is mostly mid to late 20's and early 30's crowd.

Deep Eluum has a few good spots too, and there are a few breweries down there as well. If you are out late in Deep Ellum Easy Sliders is a great spot for late night grub.

There is also a good bit to do on Greenville Ave. HG Sply Co. is a great place to grab some food. The Libertine bar is another good spot to to catch some games on Sat.

I would highly recommend hitting a BBQ joint while you are here. But be prepared to wait. Lockhart, Pecan Lodge, and Hard 8 are some good ones to try.

Getting to the game best bet is an Uber but it will not be cheap.

Tex Mex recommendations?

---

If you are in Deep Ellum then Revolver Tacos is excellent.... They got a James beard nomination last year. It's tacos, not Tex Mex. Mia's is great Tex Mex as is Desperados. People may suggest Mia Cocina but it is overpriced avg. Food.

The new bar scene around cowboy stadium and Globe Life should have been done in time for this weekend...

Im assuming that will be a hot spot.

Not a place I would want to hang out if I wasn't already there for a game that day/night.

Uber

Deep ellum is fun to walk around, more of a laid back area. Braindead has great beers and really good food. Revolver is great tacos. Pecan lodge right across the street is probably the best BBQ here. If you have a big enough group, go in the side door to the express line and order 5 or more pounds. Green room is nothing really special, but it has a cool rooftop with a view. Deep ellum brewery is a fun atmosphere, but the beer is meh.

Lower Greenville is another spot to walk. A little “fancier” than deep ellum. HG sply has pretty decent food and some weird drinks, but an awesome rooftop patio. Rapscallion is the best food there since blind butcher closed. Good upscale southern cooking. The libertine is a cool pub with good bar food. Company cafe is a good brunch spot. Truck yard is a good day/lunch spot because they rotate food trucks in and out.

Uptown can be the heart of pretentiousness, but has some cool spots. The common table has a great beer selection and isn’t fancy. Malai Kitchen in West village is good Thai and they brew their own beer. Most other places will be a mid 20s spoiled kids crowd with daddy’s credit card. Obviously a lot of fine dining there and oak lawn with some of the best steak houses in town located there. Al Biernat’s on oak lawn is a favorite.

Bishop arts on the south side of town is a lot of fun too. Lockhart bbq is right up there with pecan lodge IMO and you won’t have a wait. Hattie’s is awesome southern food with a great brunch. Some really good fried chicken. Boulevardier, which is the same owners as rapscallion on Greenville, is a good French bistro type also with a good brunch. Taqueria el si hay is just west of there on Davis and is a great taco stand.

Mexican I would do mia’s or desperados for old school Tex mex. Mannys is my favorite of the chains here, but desperados is my favorite overall. We’re there all the time.

For upscale Mexican, Javier’s is the best. They also have a cigar bar for your dessert.

They have a good happy hour.
