Things To Do
Katy Trail Ice House
The quintessential Dallas bar located on the Katy Trail and our all time favorite for outdoor drinking. Order yourself a Summer Beer and loaded cheese fries- trust us on this one.
Katy Trail**
**an obligatory mention for the actual walking trail that is the Katy Trail. If you're feeling like an overachiever, take yourself on a walk or run down the trail BEFORE ending at Ice House for the aforementioned Summer Beer and loaded cheese fries. See the website for walking entrances to the trail.
Lower Greenville Avenue
Lower Greenville is a cutie neighborhood filled with a robust scene of bars and an ever-increasing number of restaurants and shops! Our personal favorites are Village Baking Co (coffee & French pastries), Fortune House (Chinese food), HG Supply Co (rooftop bar where Alex FIRST met Bridget and Charlie), Truck Yard (backyard bar), and MKT (shopping!)
West Village Neighborhood
Take a yoga class at Corepower yoga, grab coffee and a macaroon at Bisous Bisous, wander around the shops, have a dive bar beer at Uptown Pub, order yourself a Honeycomb ice cream at Van Leeuwen, hop on the free McKinney Ave trolley for a little ride around Dallas, and definitely pop into Upside, the rooftop bar at the Canopy Hotel that provides our favorite view of the Dallas skyline (you might have seen it on our save the dates or even on this website!).
AT&T Discovery District
Walking distance from the Statler Hotel, The Exchange at AT&T Discovery District, is a food hall with 11 eateries, a bar, outdoor music, and seating in Downtown Dallas.
