It's super busy with working folks but a great place to sit, visit, bring your kids, watch a movie, read, and relax!

The wait time is kinda long so if you're on your lunch break, you need to already know where you want to eat. It gets super busy inside. Lots of open space, and amazing things to see and do.

Love Downtown Dallas…read more I really like Downtown Dallas. It's clean, easy to explore, and overall feels safe. What really stood out to me was the Southern hospitality--the people in Texas are incredibly friendly and welcoming. My only real complaint is the parking. I honestly think downtown parking should be free, or at least much more visitor-friendly. Don't make it difficult or expensive for tourists who are coming to spend money and enjoy the city. Make it easier for visitors to have a good experience and explore more of downtown. I hope Dallas doesn't become like Downtown San Diego, which felt surprisingly quiet and empty the last time I visited. A vibrant downtown should make tourists feel welcome and encourage them to stay, explore, eat, and shop. Overall, I really enjoyed Downtown Dallas. Great atmosphere, friendly people, clean streets, and a good sense of safety. Definitely 5 stars from me! I include map of M-line trolley. It's free you can explore the area easily.

My earliest memory of Downtown Dallas was my grandmother taking me with her shopping…read more Back in the day, before malls, flagship stores like Neiman Marcus,Titches etc were all downtown. Dallas still had electric street cars back then so I spent a lot of time looking out the window at the amazing sight of a big citys heart. I watched downtown slowly die over the years,the electric street car cables removed and tracks paved over. Shops and restaurants went out of business. Then one day back in the late 80s I was driving down main street and realized it was a ghost town. Literally trash blowing down the street,broken plate glass windows etc. Then after reaching economic obselesence,the investors,devopers and architects did what they do best here... Built new. Kept building and to this day still renewing this great city. Unbelievable change in only twenty years. I love the new " downtown" Dallas

This event was EPIC. Poppin Bottles Yelp Style!…read more Yelp had it's own VIP section. It was HUGE. You feel like your in the middle of it all. We were the party - within the party. The fog, lights, effects and the sound system. The lit up floor. I don't think some of the Yelpers were ready for what was gonna happen. We all danced and some folks finally got lose. Some were scared and others people watched. Everyone had a good time. Yelp had the whole section all night and our own bouncer. Pimp status!

I was going to tell you what Barbie & I did on the lawn in the center of this town last time we…read morewere here, but admitting that on social media would be a little Frisco. I mean Risky. Frisco is a very far distant north suburb of Dallas which is peaceful and affluent and has a high majority of caucasians living in the area. Lots of expensive new housing and sort of like a Suburban Paradise for all of those who want to be very far away from all of the action and kind of have their own little world. It reminds me of the Woodlands north of Houston in a lot of ways, although I suppose it's not quite that far out and remote, but on the other hand the best way to get here is using a toll road so it does have a lot in common. The reason I don't give it 5 Stars - other than it being quite generic and Suburban - is that it has not as many food options, especially ethnic food options, and not that many bubble tea shops, unlike Carrollton and Plano who are its closest neighbours, and therefore the places that I'm most inclined to compare it to. Actually Barbie just insisted that I up it to 5 stars because of the shopping and weather here, so there you go. And she did look amazing here, for sure.
