The hip neighborhood of Uptown sits in the heart of the city, just north of downtown Dallas. This lively spot is lauded for its cozy cocktail bars and global bistros, serving everything from French patisserie to Vietnamese to Moroccan fare. But the “see-and-be-seen” atmosphere keeps people coming back for more. A strong social scene along McKinney Avenue, home to the free M-Line Trolley, anchors the neighborhood.
The highly walkable streets are filled with an array of spirited nightlife, fantastic shopping, and designer apartments and condominiums. Tree-lined townhouses farther north add privacy while remaining close to all the action. Rentals on nearby Knox Street deserve a look as well.
The Uptown neighborhood is, in a word, lively. In this active, bustling area with lots to do and see, you can always attend a concert, tasting, or fun happy hour to mix things up, and you’ll never be bored by the ever-changing crowd. From coffee shops to sports bars, to pubs and outdoor patios, Uptown is the place to be.
A few can’t-miss dining options include Catbird, Monarch, and Kessaku, all conveniently located inside the posh Thompson Hotel. Fearing’s, a restaurant inside the Ritz-Carlton, and Nobu Dallas are also favorites. Also, Uptown residents all enjoy watching a flick at the Magnolia Theatre, named "Best Theater in Dallas'' by the Dallas Observer and D Magazine.
Athletic folks like to jog the Katy Trail, a 3.5-mile paved trail spanning from SMU to Victory Park. Other notable attractions include Klyde Warren Park, a 5.2-acre park connecting Uptown to Downtown, the Bivins Gallery for modern art, and The Rustic for drinks and live music with friends.
Things To Know

Throw caution to the wind and embrace the hustle and bustle of Uptown, y’all – you only live once!
