Hands down the best restaurant in Dallas right now. You probably won't be able to get a reservation, but they are so hard to come by because they save tons of room for walk ins. If you are a foodie, this is not to be missed.

Drinks & Nightlife

A fantastic neighborhood joint. They only do beer and wine, but they do it well. I recommend grabbing a bottle of Impatience Rose and a seat on the patio and enjoy the people watching.

You won't see a sign outside, but you'll know it by the big, maroon awning. This is a speakeasy style bar serving up Dallas' best craft cocktails. It gets a little rowdy after 11 pm, but it's a good crowd. Not like your typical packed-with-22-year-olds Uptown bar.

Maybe Dallas' most exclusive club right now. It's a great scene inside with a much better atmosphere than your basic nightclub, but make sure you dress well and brace yourself for the possibility of getting turned away.

McKinney Ave's quintessential under 25 bar. Loud music, long lines and tons of people. Tons of fun if that's your scene.

This expansive indoor-outdoor bar is the talk of the town. Don't miss seeing the views from the second story, even if you have to wait in line to get up there. A real hot spot after attending a Mavs game or concert at American Airlines Center.

Entertainment & Activities

Mostly independent or more artsy films, but they show some blockbusters as well. Bonus - there is a bar inside and they serve Campisi's pizza (a Dallas classic).

Getting Around

This is the biggest gem Uptown has to offer - free, clean, air-conditioned public transportation. These are actual historic wooden trolley cars that have been restored for modern use. You'll see signs for stops up and down McKinney Ave. There is a "schedule" but they don't really stick to it. Go to mata.org to view a live feed. I pull this up on my phone to see how close a trolley car is at any given time. It starts in Cityplace (just past the West Village), goes all the way down McKinney, makes a loop through downtown, then goes back up to Cityplace, making stops along the way. I recommend riding it for a whole loop just to see the sights. It's great. I even take the trolley to work most days.
