1. Hook Line & Sinker
Great raw oysters!
Great fried shrimp!
Great crab legs!
I've been meaning to try this place forEVER. I'm glad I finally did. I love that the crab legs come on tray with potatoes and corn on the cob. It was all very good. I can't wait to go again and…More »
2. Cafe Madrid
My friends and I had dinner at Café Madrid last night. Half of the specials on the back of the menu were not being offered because the menu is changing today. That was a total bummer. We started with the cheese plate and bread basket for an…More »
3. Bodega Wine Bar
I don't frequent wine bars often, but this place is hands down one of my favorites. I think they expanded, or either I was just too drunk to realize how big the place really is. The last time I went we had to go through the wine store to get in.…More »
4. Uptown Pub
I don't like to admit that there's a girly-girl side to me, but I do get distracted by shiny things, and could spend hours shopping for shoes.
I'm a beer drinker first and foremost. When I saw the bellini machine at Uptown Pub, my inner girly-girl…More »
5. Dickey's Barbecue Pit
Dallas, TX 75201
(469) 248-3149
Duuuuuudes, there's a drive-through. Always noticed it, but I always thought is was just for the convenience store. Wrong. You can totally order the BBQ too. Win-Win.

This Dickey's is located inside a Texaco Store. I've realized it's just a small detour to stop here… Read more »
6. Yutaka Sushi Bistro
Dallas, TX 75204
(214) 969-5533
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Uptown
Okay, I thought this place was new. Shows you how often I get to uptown. I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I guess I need to get over my aversion to strip mall shopping type places.
Yutaka is very small. We got lucky and snagged a…More »
7. Ziziki's
Dallas, TX 75205

Breakfast & Brunch,

Neighbourhood: Uptown
I hadn't been to Ziziki's in awhile, but some friends and I went for brunch this past Sunday. I forgot how expensive brunch is. I get that it's all you can eat and bottomless mimosas, but sheesh. For three of us the bill was around $80. I…More »
8. Reverchon Park
I've passed by this park a bazillion times going to and from The Grapevine Bar, but never really paid attention to it. Hehe.
I met some friends here last weekend to run on the Katy Trail. I was worried about parking, but there were plenty of spaces…More »
9. Katy Trail Ice House
Dallas, TX 75201
(214) 468-0600
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Oak Lawn
I'm teetering between two stars and three stars. This place definitely has it going on with their patio and location right off the Katy Trail. Finding out the place used to be a swingers club was an added bonus. Who knew?! I could see how parking…More »
10. State and Allen Lounge
I do not come to uptown often, but I enjoyed this place. They have great patio, and it's in a cute neighborhood. We only stayed long enough to have a beer and split a pizza. We got pepperoni and mushroom, and I must say it was pretty good. Our…More »
11. The Alcove
Very cute place. Sat at the bar since I was the first of the group to arrive. Dude working was very nice. They don't have many choices for "by the glass", so I settled on the $5 happy hour chardonnay. It was good. The evening crowd that started…More »
12. Nick & Sam's Grill
This place is crazy busy on Sunday brunch. It's a very festive place too. They were playing all kinds of fun music making it feel more like a dance club. I would not recommend this place if you are trying to nurse a hangover.
Getting seated was…More »
13. The Cupcakery
Dallas, TX 75201
(214) 855-0003
I agree that the cupcakes could be a little moister (is that a word...?) The icing is piled on and super sweet, but I have a big sweet tooth so that made me happy. $21 for 6 cupcakes kind of took me by surprise, but you can't deny the cuteness of…More »

Categories:
American (New),

Neighbourhood: Uptown
I was here for a UYE last night. I remembered where Nikita was, so I found this place right away. I did almost pass it, but just happened to see the Union Bear sign. It's tiny.
The place is pretty big. We were downstairs and our party was broken…More »

Happy Hour (40)Jobs! Those Annoying 8 Hours Before Happy Hour! |
Places to Get a Cold Beer (62)Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver. |
Yelp Discoveries (19)You fine folks of The Yelp have helped me discover these places. |
Valet (15)Places where you'll likely have to valet, so bring cash. |
