New Stops on the Margarita Mile

Bar crawls and pub crawls are well‑known, but Dallas has taken the idea to a new level with the Margarita Mile—a hand‑picked tour of the city’s finest margaritas. We’ve just added several new stops, giving you fresh neighborhoods to explore and more exceptional margs to taste.

Jalisco Norte
Oak Lawn

Kick off your adventure in Oak Lawn at the Rita Champ. This rosé‑infused Mexican lemonade blends the crisp notes of a Cava Brut sparkling rosé with Milagro silver tequila and blood‑orange liqueur. Served in a tall wine glass rimmed with Himalayan sea salt, the presentation is as memorable as the flavor.

New Stops on the Margarita Mile

While you’re in Oak Lawn:

Stop by Chocolate Secrets for world‑class chocolate. From hand‑painted truffles to a curated wine bar featuring seven countries, their offerings are indulgent. They also serve select ice cream flavors and over 15 pastries, plus a brunch menu that satisfies every foodie on weekends.

Take a stroll at Turtle Creek Park—discover hidden gems and the scenic Lakeside Park, a perfect backdrop for a selfie.

Finish the Oak Lawn visit at The Rustic. Sip local craft beers and cocktails under the stars on their expansive patio, where live music plays every night. Don’t miss the Rimly Rita check‑in on the Mile.

Gloria’s Latin Cuisine
Bishop Arts District

After touring the Bishop Arts District’s galleries, candles, and boutique shops, head to the corner of Bishop and Davis streets and discover Gloria’s Latin Cuisine, a Salvadorian and Tex‑Mex fusion spot that earned its place on the Margarita Mile. Enjoy a Ginger Margarita on the ground‑floor patio or the second‑floor terrace overlooking the bustling neighborhood.

While you’re in Bishop Arts District:

Challenge friends to capture the best mural selfie—start at the butterfly wings on Serve for a memorable backdrop.

Next, explore Spinster Records, where the owner’s 30‑year music career shines through a collection of local vinyl. A great way to taste Dallas’s music scene.

End the day with dessert at Emporium Pies. We recommend the “Lord of the Pies” for a sweet finale. Nestled in the district’s heart, its cottage‑like setting is the perfect way to cap off your visit.
