Deep Ellum, Dallas

Travel three blocks east of Downtown Dallas and you will find Deep Ellum. It is a conglomerate of unique shops, eclectic restaurants and residential lofts. Previously deserted historic buildings and warehouses are now thriving with people eating, working, living and playing. Deep Ellum is home to numerous clubs, featuring an array of music, from blues and jazz to reggae and alternative rock, but it is also home to various theatrical and artistic venues. For a sampling of the best music the district has to offer, come out on the first Friday of any month, where you will get into five participating clubs for five dollars.
