Top 3 Places to Explore in Deep Ellum Dallas, TX

#1 Deep Ellum Art Co.

Deep Ellum Art Co. is more than just a gallery or music venue — it's the beating heart of the neighborhood’s creative scene. Built with a mission to “dedicate this space to the creative and native,” this expansive, indoor-outdoor cultural hub is a one-of-a-kind destination where local art, live music, and community events collide in the best possible way.

Step inside and you’ll find colorful murals, industrial-chic decor, and walls adorned with work by emerging Dallas artists. The gallery constantly rotates, so there’s always something new to discover. But the space truly comes alive at night — nearly every evening, local and touring musicians take the stage, drawing crowds with genres ranging from indie rock and blues to funk, folk, and EDM.

Outside, the sprawling backyard-style patio is equally inviting, with picnic tables, string lights, food trucks, and live painting events that bring the community together. You might find yourself attending an open-air yoga session in the morning and dancing under the stars that same night. It’s a hub for expression, connection, and inspiration.

#2 Pecan Lodge

There are barbecue joints, and then there’s Pecan Lodge — a culinary landmark that has put Deep Ellum on the national food map. This family-run establishment started as a humble farmers market stall and quickly earned a cult following for its time-honored techniques and unforgettable flavors. Today, it’s widely recognized as one of the best barbecue restaurants in Texas — if not the entire country.

The magic begins with quality ingredients and a custom-made smoker that runs low and slow, allowing the meats to achieve that signature smoky perfection. The brisket is the star — tender, deeply flavorful, and cloaked in a rich bark — but the pork ribs, jalapeño sausage, and burnt ends are equally crave-worthy. And don’t sleep on the sides: the mac & cheese, collard greens, and fried okra are full-on comfort food experiences in their own right.

Whether you're hosting friends from out of town or simply treating yourself after a long day, Pecan Lodge delivers authentic Texas soul food in the heart of your neighborhood.

#3 The Factory in Deep Ellum

For live music lovers, The Factory in Deep Ellum is an absolute essential — and living at The Crosby means having one of Dallas’ premier music venues just around the corner. Formerly known as The Bomb Factory, this iconic concert hall has been reimagined as a high-tech, multi-stage entertainment complex that hosts some of the biggest names in music alongside up-and-coming talent.

The venue’s design is equal parts industrial and modern, with flexible staging that accommodates everything from intimate acoustic sets to full-blown, high-energy performances. With a capacity of over 4,000 and a history that dates back to the 1930s, The Factory offers the kind of immersive concert experience that feels both grand and personal. Acts like Billie Eilish, Gary Clark Jr., Nine Inch Nails, and Tyler, The Creator have all graced the stage, making it a key stop on the national tour circuit.

But it’s not just about the headliners. The Factory is also a cultural gathering place, hosting themed dance nights, art events, and special showcases that reflect Deep Ellum’s creative edge. Whether you're catching a chart-topper or discovering your new favorite artist, The Factory ensures that unforgettable nights are always within reach.
