What's going on in Dallas / Ft. Worth

There are some downsides...besides the dead shopping center in Frisco part. You pay extra for the fries, first off. And the fries aren't that great. The burgers, on the other hand, rise far, far above Dallas-area standards. Thick, meaty, with a tr...

When is a burger joint more than a burger joint? When it's a damn good bar, too. This East Dallas beer garden and burger house is a place where you can sit and drink away an afternoon, snacking on bar food and chomping on one of Dallas' best burge...

This two-story Uptown Crescent City-themed bar shares its wrought iron and plant-filled patio (as well as some of its menu items) with its next-door neighbor and sister establishment, Breadwinners. The bar manager says there's even one popular sna...

For more than two decades, Dada has played a pivotal role in the Dallas music scene. Until the club shut down for a while beginning in 2009, the pulse of Dallas music could always be heard coming from the drums on the stage at Club Dada, located s...
