    This is a lovely little shopping district south of downtown Dallas. There’s a large parking lot at one end (pay by phone). There’s one corner that seems to be owned by the same restaurant group, and they have three or four different restaurant concepts - and they’re all charming. They were getting ready to open Casablanca when we were visiting, so we stopped in for lunch at Paradiso instead. Then we just wandered up and down North Bishop and stopped into boutiques, game stores, Dude, Sweet Chocolate (which was an experience of its own), cafes, etc. - excellent half- or full-day outing for girlfriends - go on a nice day, not a rainy-day destination

    OMG! I fell in love with this place. I haven’t quite visited a place like this. It’s an eclectic arts area with cute boutique shops and restaurants. We visited at the end of the day when many shops were closed but enough were open to get the vibe of the area. There was cool art pieces and decor in almost every store m, it was clean, and there were many Instagramable areas to capture photos. Just on the edge of Bishop Arts was a crystal store called Luna. Check it out!

    I’ve seen a lot of posts about the area and decided to go, my friend thought it was too cold out, but it was actually really nice and I walked around. They had an art show for the weekends with all sorts of vendors and it was fun. I would recommend going at least once.. Parking is horrendous but the people watching is great! I wanted to try the Boba store but I couldn’t find a parking spot and they only had an hour where I parked. Definitely worth a visit especially on the weekend.

    Just a fun and funky part of town. Lots of great shops with unique clothing and crafts for every taste. Some nice restaurants and shops... I recommend the pie shop and the chocolate shop. A side of Dallas we didn't expect, and we're sure glad we went.

I live in Dallas, near Bishop Arts, so it’s understandable to visit my beloved Bishop Arts once a month at least. There’s lots to eat - pizza, pie, empanadas. I definitely recommend the restaurants below:

“Eno’s Pizza Tavern”
Eno’s is one of the best pizza places I’ve been to. Their pizzas are delicious, and they’re thin-crusted pizzas. You could sit outside, but right now, you can sit literally in the road, and sometimes it would get scary. It would look like a car would come towards you. After COVID, Eno’s has made their menu “virtual”. Basically saying online.

“Espumoso’s” I don’t know if this is the correct spelling -
They have great empanadas. Definitely try. And my mom loves the coffee. They also have this little lounge where you can have coffee and work, or simply enjoy the scenery.

“Oddfella’s”
Great breakfast. I love the chicken for breakfast. Amazing đź‘Ś

I was in town for just a weekend for a wedding. I had a lot of free time on Saturday. As I began reviewing highlights and tourist attractions of the city I mostly learned about the arboretum, JFK Memorial, the Aquarium, Zoo, and Reunion Tower. All might have been city highlights but when I asked my uber driver the one thing he would suggest, he mentioned the Bishpp Arts District. I was thrilled that I listened. It had a little bit of everything I love - eclectic shops and boutiques, safe, walkable area, a variety of restaurants, some history, and a warm hospitable vibe. I am so glad I tried something that isn't typically hyped in travel literature.

This was one of my favorite places to visit. We strolled and peeking in the many little shops, noting all the restaurants, bars, and cafes. Along the way, you'll find Cafe Brazil (one of our favorite restaurant/coffee shops. Then there's, Hunky's for American foods like burgers and fries and you have to stop at the window and pick out a pie at Emporium Pies-I recommend the chocolate silk. There are street musicians on the corner and plenty of music wafting from the bars.

I saw a lot of murals that I enjoyed. I walked a tiny shopping street for the pedestrians. It reminded me of Yokocho in Japan. Yokocho is alleyways off to the side of the main street. It was an early morning, but if I could walk at night, I could see a lot of people.
I really loved this area. Please stop by some coffee shop, then enjoy your zen moment!

This was our favorite neighborhood that we visited during our stay in Dallas. It was also the busiest as well but could have been due to the real nice day in the 70s.

Similar to Deep Ellum the stores and restaurants had a lot of character but a more urban appeal to us.

We ate BBQ at Lockhart Smokehouse and drooled over the pies slices at Emporium. We listened to guitar players outside of Parker Barrows and the competing one down the same block outside Whitehall Exchange. The was even a band playing inside Revelers Hall (not real sure how they fit along with guests) but the place was jamming.

Clothing, outdoor gear and even a vintage record store, Vintage Records, were great places to stop by and shop. Need a haircut then checkout the garage setting at Brass Tacks Barbershop and get your hair cut next to Harleys.

Further down Bishop Road was a new and modern building along with a large parking lot. The lot was nice since it was tough finding street parking (free on Sundays).

I've visited Bishop Arts district 3 times now and each time I've found somewhere new to go. There are plenty of small shops, restaurants, and coffee shops to try out. Street parking is confusing so I recommend valet, so you don't have to worry about it.

Great selection of shops and restaurants here. Lots of items available made by local artists and crafters. It was a nice place to spend a Sunday morning to grab brunch and shop. This area is very pet-friendly. Parking may be a little challenging during busy hours.

Recommend ENOS (closed on Mondays) thin pizza cracker and love the Pig Smiley, and Hunky's Hamburgers - Beef and Turkey Burger. Can park on side streets and one parking lot added north of Hunky's. Go back all the time because they add new house vendors and eating places. Very Strollable. Vintage vendors. Check out antique store by Hunky's. Expect some Latin Art. Lockhart's BBQ is on best BBQ list in Texas Monthly. Roll food up in brown meat market paper. More take out orders than sit in. Few tables to dine in but not many.

During our DFW tour, we drove down the main street of Bishop Arts district. It also happened to be the day of a Mardi Gras parade. We went back to the District after the tour of Kennedy's assassination and the Sixth floor museum. We were lucky enough to be there the day of the Mardi Gras parade. It was a wonder full day and I would encourage all to include this afternoon trip into their travel plans.

Met my date at 303 Bar and Grill to watch the Cowboys/Cleveland game. Great drinks and brunch menu. Left at end of third quarter to walk around the district. Lots of neat stores, bars and restaurants in the area. More than one visit is necessary to take in what Bishop Arts District has to offer.
