Fearing's and The Rattlesnake Bar
Designated Margarita Mile Margarita: Dean's Margarita
Start with dinner from one of Dallas’ top celebrity chefs, Dean Fearing, then retire to the swanky Rattlesnake Bar inside The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas. With late hours until midnight during the week and 2:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, the Rattlesnake Bar has become a see-and-be-seen Uptown destination for nearly 20 years. It’s a jovial celebration every night with hotel guests and locals mingling over margaritas, spirited conversation, and live music each Friday and Saturday night.
Ruins
Designated Margarita Mile Margarita: Azteca 666
Ruins celebrates Mexico’s beloved agave spirits, so this late-night Deep Ellum watering hole is a perfect spot on the Margarita Mile for some shenanigans into the wee hours of the morning. Seven nights a week, Ruins keeps its doors open and the margaritas flowing until 2:00 a.m. Enjoy a variety of Mexican cuisine, along with dishes from the Caribbean and other Latin American nations. Make it a point to catch live music in the Limbo Room, where a full calendar of local, regional, and national acts awaits in one of the city’s most intimate music venues.
ラスティック
Designated Margarita Mile Margarita: Rustic Rita
Settle in at an outside table in The Rustic’s sprawling backyard area, where live music and special events guarantee memorable nights out in Dallas. Most live music events are free, and you can drink your Rustic Ritas and dine with friends, old and new, at one of the communal picnic tables while bobbing along to the beat. But on occasion, a big-name act takes over the space, which deftly converts to a standing-room-only (or should we say, dancing-room-only?) ticketed venue. Friday and Saturday nights deliver the truest late-night goods, with the party going strong until 1:00 a.m.
リボルバー・タコス・ラウンジ
ディープ・エルム
Designated Margarita Mile Margarita: Revolver Margarita
Featured in Netflix’s Taco Chronicles series on the Dallas-centered episode, Revolver Taco Lounge has been locally famous for years. Enjoy a parade of tacos and margaritas traveling from the kitchen to your table until midnight on Friday and Saturday, an ideal first stop for a night exploring the bars and live music venues of Deep Ellum. The restaurant’s noteworthy for its Mediterranean octopus tacos (served either carnitas-style or al pastor), so plan to give those a try if you’re a seafood lover.
Mexican Sugar Cocina y Cantina
Designated Margarita Mile Margarita: Chupa
A sense of Mexican luxury sets the scene the moment you walk through the doors into a bright, airy space with floor-to-ceiling windows upstairs and down. Or get some fresh air under the twinkling night sky as you sip on your Chupa margarita and some ceviche and squash blossom quesadillas to share. And if you’re truly a tequila aficionado, pop by the Agave Library where more than 150 different agave-based spirits can be admired and, better yet, tasted.
