Updated July 2024
The weekend is here! Meet up with a few of your closest for an evening on a Dallas patio.
Our top picks:
- Chelsea's Corner in Uptown for good ol' American classics like pizza, burgers, and shareable apps with a revamped patio– charcuterie board anyone?
- El Bolero in the Design District for authentic Mexican dishes and specialty cocktails.
- Visit Artpark at Trinity Groves, a modern new beer garden surrounded by art installations, fire pits, lawn games and skyline views.
You've heard of living on the edge, but how about swimming on the edge?
The Joule features a unique, glass pool that hangs over the edge of the hotel, giving you incredible views of Downtown Dallas and The Eye, a 30-ft. gleaming sculpture found just across the street from the hotel. The pool is open to hotel guests seven days a week or check out the Resort Pass.
The Black Academy of Arts and Letters (TBAAL) hosts the 7th Annual Riverfront Jazz Festival this Labor Day Weekend.
Enjoy a stellar roster of multi-genre performers spanning the gamut from jazz to pop, soul, R&B, blues, and neo-soul music. The 3-day festival is set for Friday, August 30 through Sunday, September 1, and will include two main stages and one promising young artist stage.
Take in the fresh air and spend the weekend outdoors!
Take your bike out to White Rock Lake for a ride around the park, then spend some time visiting the East Dallas neighborhood for an adventure in the city. Lunch and a walk down Lower Greenville sound good to us!
