Father's Day in the DDD Done Right

Let’s be real, Dad doesn’t need another pastel shirt that’ll sit in his closet. He’s not looking for a mimosa tower or an endless waffle bar, either. What he wants is a day that feels like him: simple, solid, thoughtful, and spent with the people he loves most.

If you’re showing up for Dad this year, start in the Dallas Design District—where good taste, great food, and quality time begin. 

Cidercade | 2777 Irving Blvd

If Dad’s the type who claims he used to be unbeatable at Pac-Man, Cidercade is where you test that theory. Located in the Dallas Design District, this spot gives you unlimited access to over 140 arcade games for just $10 — no tokens, no time limits, no stress. Just a whole lot of competition and a cider (or local beer) in hand. Whether he’s reliving his pinball glory days or discovering the chaos of four-player air hockey, it’s the perfect way to kick off Father’s Day.

Bowlounge | 167 Turtle Creek Blvd

Remember the first time Dad taught you to bowl? Here’s your chance to return the favor or at least try to beat him. A hidden gem in the Dallas Design District, Bowlounge offers retro lanes, cold drinks, and a whole lot of character for a perfect Father's Day. If Dad’s chasing strikes or just here for the wings and beer, it’s a laid-back way to celebrate, no scoreboard needed.

Reserve your lane

Ferris Wheelers BBQ | 1950 Market Center Blvd

If smoky brisket, backyard vibes, and live music sound good to dad, Ferris Wheelers BBQ is awaiting your arrival. It’s everything you want in a BBQ spot, laid-back, lively, and built for big appetites. This Father’s Day, live music and cold drinks will be served up in the kind of setting where Dad can kick back with the people he loves most.

Peticolas Brewing Company | 1301 Pace St

If Dad’s one wish was a cold beer in hand, he’d feel right at home at Peticolas Brewing Company. This Dallas-born brewery in the  Dallas Design District has built a reputation on bold flavors and a deep love for craft done right. The taproom strikes the perfect balance, laid-back but thoughtful, with plenty of space to catch up, sample what’s on tap, and enjoy a drink. If Dad knows his beer (or likes to think he does), he’ll be in his element.
