RevelersHall
Do you love live music nearly as much as you love soccer? You’ll find that Texas’ rich musical history is alive and well in Dallas – country, jazz, rock, and more all call the region home. And DART can help you discover them all.

On weekends, head to The Rustic for a taste of Texas-style comfort food and live lunchtime country music. Their massive, backyard-like patio features a modern cowboy vibe. The outdoorsy spot is next door to the west portal of Cityplace/Uptown Station (near the West Village, just north of downtown Dallas), which is served by the Red, Blue, and Orange lines. You can also get there on the M-Line Trolley, which travels from downtown Dallas through fashionable Uptown, known for its many shops and restaurants.

For your afternoon, switch things up and go to Reveler’s Hall for some afternoon jazz, featuring the venue’s excellent house band along with other performers. The jazz club is an easy walk from the Bishop Arts Stop along the Dallas Streetcar line. (You can board the streetcar at the Union Station Stop in downtown, which is close to EBJ Union Station.) After 5 p.m., the music continues into the night – or you can head to Deep Ellum, the heart of the Dallas music scene.

Legendary blues musicians once called Deep Ellum home – Blind Lemon Jefferson, Lead Belly, and Lightnin’ Hopkins all busked on its storied streets. Today, you’ll find that live music is still the district’s heartbeat, while well-known restaurants serve up local flavor. Some neighborhood favorites include:
Get to Deep Ellum by taking the Green Line to Deep Ellum or Baylor University Medical Center stations. They’re only a stop or two west of Fair Park.
