Things To Do
Restaurants
Terry Black's Barbecue
True Texas BBQ that we love. Parking can be a bit tricky, but it's worth it. And don't sleep on all of the sides! đ
Torchy's Tacos
Not your typical Texas taco, but definitely worth a stop. Dillon loves the the Wrangler and the Crossroads. Laura's favorite is the Trailer Park Trashy and the queso and chips (+ a margarita) đŽ
Casa Navarro
Our favorite local Tex-Mex spot. Laura's favorite is the Mexican Flag Enchiladas đ
Seoul Garden
Great Korean food! Dillon's favorite is the Salmon Teriyaki, and Laura loves the Bulgogi (but her favorite part is really all of the banchan) đ
Laura's Fav Breweries
ODD Muse Brewing Company
Laura's favorite beers here: the Jaritos sours, and any of the IPAs. She also recommends Woodpecker Lips! AND... it's super close to the hotel where we have a block đ
Truck Yard (Beard Science Sour House)
As you can guess, the Beard Science Sour House mainly has sour beers (Laura's favorite). BUT the Truckyard is much more than just the Sour House! There are food trucks, karaoke rooms, and our favorite... the Toilet Seat Museum! You have to see it to believe it đŊ
3 Nations Brewing
We love this brewery, and it's RIGHT by our venue! Laura's favorite beers here: Sucker Punch (Sour) and Devour (Creme Brulee Stout) đē
Hop and Sting Brewing Company
This is our favorite spot for trivia! Laura's favorite beers here: Miracle Wheat (Orange Wheat Beer), Masterminds (Hazy IPA), Funkadelicious (Sour) đ
Dillon's Fav Activities
Fort Worth Stockyards
When you think of Texas, this is the place. Lots of shops to checkout, a real rodeo, longhorns walking the main road twice a day, and a big ole honky tonk đ¤
Buc-ee's
This is not just a gas station... it's a southern cult. Sure, you can get gas here, but you're gonna want to spend some time in the store đĻĢ There is another Buc-ees closer in Fort Worth, although it's about 60% of the size of a normal Buc-ees in case you decide to go there instead. It's still good, just not quite as amazing
Cowboys Red River | Dancehall & Saloon
Great spot for Texas two-stepping! They also have free two-stepping lessons each night from 7-8pm đ
Lakeside Access - Northshore Trail
This is one of our go-to trails! There may not be mountain views, but it does follow along the shoreline of Grapevine Lake! Just make sure to watch out for mountain bikers zipping by đĨž Heads-up! There's free parking at the dog park down the street
National Videogame Museum
For anyone that grew up playing videogames, this is a great place to checkout! Especially since they let you play most of the classics đšī¸
Cidercade Dallas
It's an arcade bar! Grab some cider, and then for only $12, and you get unlimited play of all of their new and old arcade games đž
The Dallas World Aquarium
Don't let the "aquarium" name fool you. This is a cool indoor zoo... it feels like you're walking through a tropical rainforest the entire time đ¸
Josey Records
A super cool store with a huge selection of records, CDs, DVDs, tapes, posters, and more đļ
Other Iconic Dallas Spots
Perot Museum of Nature and Science
A fun museum in the heart of Dallas that has a lot of interactive exhibits. Make sure to check out the Texas Instruments area while you're there đ¤

Offers a tour and memorabilia (in a museum) from the iconic "Dallas" television series đ¤

A museum about JFK and his assassination, right where it happened
