Where to go in Dallas: events, concerts, games and shows worth your night
Dallas is the sports and arena capital of Texas, with the biggest stadium in the NFL and an arts district that spans twenty blocks downtown, and it has kept the club district that gave the city its music: Deep Ellum, a mile of venues east of the freeway. Below is where to go in Dallas for a night out, with addresses, and what tends to be on when.
Concerts and live music in Dallas: Deep Ellum and the AAC
Deep Ellum is the strip: The Factory in Deep Ellum (2713 Canton Street), the 4,000-capacity room for touring acts, Trees (2709 Elm Street) for the mid-sized shows and a history that includes Nirvana, and a dozen smaller bars with a stage. Arena tours play the American Airlines Center (2500 Victory Avenue) and the stadium shows AT&T Stadium in Arlington; the Dos Equis Pavilion in Fair Park takes the summer amphitheater tours. The Kessler in Oak Cliff is the listening room.
Dallas nightlife: Deep Ellum, Lower Greenville and Bishop Arts
Deep Ellum runs latest, with bars and clubs open until 2 a.m. and food trucks after; Lower Greenville has the neighborhood bars and the Granada Theater; Bishop Arts in Oak Cliff the restaurants and cocktail bars. Uptown is the smarter end. The DART light rail stops around midnight; rideshare is the way home.
Theater, opera and symphony in Dallas
The Dallas Arts District has the Winspear Opera House (2403 Flora Street, attpac.org) for the Dallas Opera, the Texas Ballet Theater and Broadway tours, the Meyerson Symphony Center (2301 Flora Street), I. M. Pei’s hall for the Dallas Symphony, and the Wyly Theater for the Dallas Theater Center. The Majestic on Elm Street takes comedy and the smaller tours.
Sports in Dallas
The Cowboys at AT&T Stadium (Arlington, on fall Sundays), the Mavericks and the Stars at the American Airlines Center from October to April, the Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington from April to October, FC Dallas in Frisco. The Cowboys are the hardest ticket in Texas; a Stars weeknight is the easiest way into the AAC.
Museums and galleries in Dallas
The Dallas Museum of Art (1717 N Harwood Street) is free and open late on Fridays; the Nasher Sculpture Center next door and the Crow Museum of Asian Art complete the block. The Design District galleries open together on the first Saturday of the month.
