10 Things to Do in Dallas at Night

When you finish your day in Dallas, you will surely still have energy to enjoy the night, and in this city you won't run out of ideas to have a great time! You can take a night tour, view the city from Reunion Tower and see the monuments around the city.

In Dallas you will also find fun places to play classic arcade games with your friends. You can also hang out at a rolling pub while pedaling or have dinner while watching a medieval knight battle. Sound interesting? If you like some of these ideas, I invite you to read on to discover all your options.

If you like to visit bars and drink cocktails or new beers, I recommend taking a pub crawl in Dallas. To make it even more entertaining, you can book this experience with a professional guide who will tell you all about the ghosts of Dallas. This city hides many horror stories that you will surely enjoy more if you are in the places where they happened.

Between each story you will visit at least four pubs for almost three hours. One of them is the Green Door Public House. This is a very popular bar and restaurant in the area serving American style food. You can also stop by the Harwood Tavern where you can enjoy a more classic bar atmosphere.

In addition to entering these types of bars, the professional guide will tell you stories of the ghost of Lady White Rock, the spirits that live in the Adolphus Hotel and the Majestic Theater. If you don't want to hire a private service, you can walk around these areas guided by Google Maps.

Visiting the Dallas GeO-Deck observation deck is another activity you can do at night. Although you can also go during the day, at night you can get a different and equally dazzling view. From there you can see the city at 200 meters high.

This viewpoint is located in the Reunion Tower. This is the tallest tower in Dallas and is considered the most emblematic monument of the city. In addition to regular visits, different events are held on the observation deck.

For example, if you travel to Dallas at Christmas, you can celebrate New Year's Eve there. It is an excellent spot in the city to admire the fireworks show. Also, included with your ticket is a free professional digital photograph. The cost of the ticket is approximately 25 €.

Another plan for a night out in Dallas is to go to a bar with live music. You can dine, drink and enjoy local or national bands. The vibe at these places is always good and you are sure to have a great time. If you are traveling with your partner this can be a very romantic option for both of you.

If you take a trip from Dallas to Forth Worth, I recommend you to visit Billy Bob's. In this nightclub and country club in the best Texas style you can have a typical dinner and enjoy a live music show. In this club you will find more than 30 bars with rodeo and dance floors. Keep in mind that the predominant music will be country.

I recommend that you take a walking tour of downtown Dallas. This way you can pass by iconic sites such as the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza. You can also stop by the Sixth Floor Museum where the president was shot. However, you should go earlier in the day if you want to visit this museum.

You can also stroll through Dealey Plaza, the site where President Kennedy was assassinated. All this part of the city is full of stories that you can relive as you walk around.

However, if you do not know much about the most touristic sites of the city and do not know very well its historical events, I recommend that you hire a professional guide. This way you will be able to get to the sites more quickly and if you have private transportation, it will be easier and more comfortable for you.

If you want to go to other areas of Dallas you can use some of the transportation offered by Dallas Area Rapid Transit.

If you want to have a different experience, I recommend you to visit Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. You'll be able to feel like a guest at a royal dinner. You will also see knights on horseback demonstrating their athletic skills and sword maneuvers.

From the moment you arrive at this place you will feel like you are traveling back in time to medieval times. Everything is decorated as if it were a castle. Inside you will see a large space with an arena, where the knights compete and demonstrate their skills. Each person participating in the show has a period costume, armor, weapons shields and more.

While watching the show you can eat a delicious four-course medieval-style dinner. Meals usually include garlic bread, oven-roasted chicken, tomato soup, corn on the cob, castle cakes and more.
