It has a hip feel and I loved all the street art everywhere, including the Robot Sculptures. Some funky places to eat, drink and shop too. The Texas BBQ place, Pecan Lodge, is well worth a visit for some authentic, delicious BBQ.Visited November 2023Travelled with friendsWritten November 12, 2023

After eating at Twisted Root Burger in Deep Ellum, I walked around the area for a bit to explore. However, based on how I was feeling, it was too cold and windy and not a lot going on in late October, so I requested an Uber to go back to the hotel.

This was a nice hang out spot in the past. There was so many options when it came to rock bars and venues. Now it’s a hipster place with hip hop bars and high school kids running around. Not the same at all and has definitely changed my outlook about it. I will not be returning sadly because I use to enjoy deep ellum. Hopefully they bring back rock bars and it’s venues.

Lot of things to do here. We visited tiki loco and ate some amazing vegan food. They have many arcades and photo booths too. We also loved the artwork on the walls

Deep Ellum (Deep Elm)
Dallas
Worst city in Texas so far.
What a dump… after paying 10 dollars to park in a unguarded I fenced parking lot. You are surrounded by trash, broken bottles, and drug addicts you find overpriced thrift stores and restaurants. Walked back to my car a homeless drug addict jump out from behind a building hit me and started a calling me and my family the N word and telling me he was going to kill me in front of my family while trying to strike me. So while trying to walk away he gave chase to my children before three cops showed up to detain him. This was all before 1 in the afternoon 0-10 never visit if you can help it.

It's a street full of bars, restaurants, and shops. It's nice and there's a great BBQ place called Pecan Lodge which is quite an institution. We also went to Punk Rock karaoke at the Three Links where you can get up and sing with a live band. Some of the people were really good! Very entertaining

Is there any bars that have DJ's or bands that play top 40 or rock ? I'm 40 and trying not to go to actual club

You have several places you can go to. I'm 41 and enjoy most (not all) of the restaurants, bars, DJ's, and live music. My personal favorite spots are: the green room, brick & bones, witz end, dot's, the free man!! Well to the 40 family..ENJOY!!!
How old do you have to be to drink at the bar? What if your 20 years old can you still drink ?

Like any big city today you must be aware of low traffic areas. Stay in the public places and if possible travel in a group. This section of Dallas is pretty safe. I've never felt uneasy in this vicinity. Falls is a friendly city and the cops here take security serious
