Cool New Spots to Check Out

New bar? Hidden café? Pop-up art gallery? These just-opened (or under-the-radar) Dallas gems deserve a spot on your list.

We love a good Dallas classic, but there’s nothing like discovering a place before it goes viral. These are the cool, curated new spots around the city that are giving us main-character energy. Some are fresh-opened, others are lowkey — but all are worth a visit.

• [Spot #1 – Aesthetic Café or Bar]: Think: coffee with cloud foam, or cocktails with fire and flowers. Interior goals + photo ops.

• [Spot #2 – Creative Experience]: A self-guided art walk, candle bar, or immersive room that’s perfect for a low-pressure hang.

• [Spot #3 – New Neighborhood Find]: That place your coolest friend casually mentioned. It’s time you went.

These picks get refreshed often, so make this your spot to check when your group chat says: “Where should we go?”
