With scorching and sizzling temperatures in Dallas, sometimes a cold craft beer can do the trick! But what exactly is craft beer? Craft beer is beer made in a traditional way by a small brewery. You can literally find several bars in Dallas with excellent selections that reach the triple digits, but these are just a handful that we recommend for great beer and a unique experience.
Off The Record
If you adore music and beer, be sure to make your way to Deep Ellum to Off The Record. This bar is a record shop by day where you can find some of the best selections to add to your vinyl collection and a hopping bar at night especially on the weekends with live music. Not only do they have great beer, but there are cocktails to choose from as well. There’s even a patio out back to get some fresh air and chill vibes.

Bishop Cider Co. & Cidercade
While cider and beer differ in several ways, they do have fermentation in common and many can’t seem to differentiate especially with cider being incorporated more frequently in beer. In the heart of the Bishop Arts District is the brewery and tasting room for Bishop Cider Co. with their unique flavors including past ciders, Peach Pecobbler and Cinnamango.
With only a fifteen-minute drive, the fun and hard ciders combine for an adult gaming experience at Bishop Cidercade that will take you back to your childhood! Cidercade has more than over 125 new and retro multi-player gaming options which makes this spot perfect for hanging out with friends and letting loose. Admission for all-you-can-play games is $10 per day, but if you’re a frequent gamer, you can pay $20 for an entire month.
