Deep Ellum Neighborhood

Young, hip and vibrant, Deep Ellum has become the east downtown hub. Galleries, shops, even museum-quality brisket. Artistic brisket? Yes, no typo there. As it sits before you on that canvas of wax paper, so much Texas BBQ is a work of art. Burnt ends, please! As for the neighborhood, it's dense, which is fine. Most of the buildings only have smallish units though. There's not a single three-bedroom listed for rent on Zillow in the entire neighborhood and there's only one for sale. While I probably couldn't live here, it's obvious why it is appealing to the up and coming 20 and 30s singles' crowd.

You can definitely tell the lame-asses from the reviews that use "hipster" over and over.This is a fun arts district, with lots of restaurants, bars, galleries, music venues, street art. It's very pleasant and walkable, with a lot of alfresco/outdoor patio dining.It could use a little help . . . there are several venues that are boarded up or shut down . . . but it's the most walkable section I've found in Dallas, and tons of dining and entertainment options in a small section.People complain about lack of parking, but honestly, I think there is too much commercial parking in the area. A bunch of paid parking lots, and annoyingly, these spots are home to a lot of the murals, so you're having to shoot around cars and signage. Someone compared this swath of town to New York City. As someone who spends over half my time in NYC, that's ridiculous. Not even close. But it's the closest thing to being artsy, accepting, and cool. So if you'd like to step outside of the way the rest of the country sees Texas . . . Deep Ellum is the way to go.

Very fun neighborhood to walk around and explore. There are many amazing, beautiful, and colorful murals all along the buildings that will have you staring. Pretty dead during the day, but it really comes alive at night when all the bars start opening up. My guy and I spent hours here visiting a ton of different places. It's a nice distance from a lot of other areas as well like downtown or the farmers market.

This area is eclectic and has an eccentric style with a lot going on. This is my second time in Deep Ellum and they have built up since I was last here 7 years ago. It's so much to see and do here. A plethora of places to eat, drink, shop, music venues and entertainment for all. It's always a fun time in this area.

Awesome place to explore and check out the amazing artists and murals. There has got to be around 100! When you are walking, make sure you turn around and look at the buildings behind you! Right now is the 150th year, and events are happening! Across from Serious Pizza is a street that will have local artists and vendors showcasing their talents around noon. There are so many great spots for food and drinks after your walk around!

Paint the town! This is an absolute must-go to if you're in Dallas. If you're looking for street art, this is the spot. You can walk up and down and through all the alleys to see so many walking exhibits. The whole town gives off a Miami art district vibes. The artists are all so skilled at what they do. Painting on a large scale is no easy task. The colors are vibrant and the art alone is what adds a pop of color to this part of town. I actually went to bishop art district and I was not as impressed.

This area just east of Downtown Dallas has a long and storied history. Reaching back into the 1930s it rivaled Chicago for a few years before fading away.Blues Legends such as Robert Johnson and Blind Lemmon Jefferson were mainstays.It's had ups and downs and false starts for decades with mostly nite clubs and restaurants. Recently after a long dry spell an investor bought up blocks of the area and is now developing substantial multiuser projects that will at last stabilize the area.The addition of a mass transit stop has helped as well as several new restaurants.Definitely a go if you're visiting from outside Big D

Such a vibrant and colorful neighborhood. Deep Ellum is an artistic soul of this town. There are hip restaurants, music venues, art installations and murals everywhere you look. It is an absolute must to understand how this city breathes.

Great neighborhood, lots to do and see. Many options for food, drinks and music. Twilight was so amazing.

Went during daytime so there wasn't much to do or see. Roads were pretty bad due to construction and/or repaving. Could be a different setting at night as it looked capable because of kind of establishments there. Started to walk, but ended up deciding not to because of sparseness of shops and how spread out area was.
