Harwood District

Nestled between Uptown and Victory Park, the vibrant Harwood District is a 19-city block, uber-walkable neighborhood packed with a wide range of dining and entertainment options.

Harwood District’s first development was the Rolex building in 1984, and in the years since, it has grown to include luxury office buildings and high-rise residents, outdoor pocket gardens, and tons of trendy restaurants.

Use our guide to the neighborhood to plan your next outing! While we've mentioned a few spots here, there are so many more to explore! Head out and find your new favorites - and tag @Visit_Dallas on Instagram when you make it there.
