Deep Ellum

St. Pete's Dancing Marlin is a Deep Ellum landmark. Serving lunch and dinner as well as drinks from a full bar, St. Pete's is a great place for dinner for 2 or dinner for 200. Bring your friends and enjoy live music on Fridays and Saturdays - we recommend sitting at the bar, which, according to their website, is the "longest bar in Dallas." That's what she said.

Deep Sushi is known for serving some of the best sushi in Dallas. With a bar, small dining room and fantastic happy hour specials - how could you go wrong? They stay open late on weekends, so you can get a Philly roll fix almost any time. Hours: Mon-Wed 11am-2:30pm, 5pm-11pm Thu 11am-2:30pm, 5pm-12am Fri 11am-2:30pm, 5pm-1am Sat 5pm-1am

July Alley is a neighborhood bar in Deep Ellum. An eclectic crowd, small patio, cheap drinks and pool tables make this a great place to stop while bar hopping or to hang out and make a night of it!

AllGood Cafe keeps with Deep Ellum's alternative, eclectic vibe. Pairing diner food with live music Wednesdays through Saturdays, AllGood is a place to grab some grub and chill. Their MySpace bio says it best: "It's like goin' to Austin wihout havin' to pass thru Waco." We completely agree.

Cowboy Chow is the latest project from the owners of Twisted Root Burger Co., just down the street in Deep Ellum. According to their website, "Cowboy Chow is simple quality driven dishes that are darn cheap for what you are getting." And we're talking really cheap - brisket tacos (yum!) for just $9!

Twisted Root Burger Co. in Deep Ellum is the place to go in Dallas for sassy atmosphere and even bolder burgers. The staff is relentless (salads are referred to as "sissy food"), and the "twisted roots" (french fries) are fantastic alongside homemade root beer.

Deep Ellum has its fair share of unique places to eat and drink, and Twisted Root does the neighborhood proud. After you grab a burger, stick around for an "adult-only milkshake", with ice cream made by the restaurant's own pastry chef.

Its name says it all. The Double Wide Bar serves up some down home, All-American dive bar atmosphere alongside classic canned beer. Y'all can also check this place out for its live music and fun patio!
