Craft beer and food trucks are a match made in heaven. So once great food and booze are added an awesome location, magic happens. And that is exactly why Truck Yard in Dallas has become one of the trendiest spots to eat food from a truck and enjoy a bottled cocktail or draft of Texas brew. Located in Dallas’ neighborhood of Lower Greenville, this hipster hangout is a must-visit to experience local Dallas fare.
The spot where Truck Yard sits now was once a junkyard until Jason Boso got his hands on it. At 9,000-square-feet, the junkyard-turned-beer garden has three bars, a load of outdoor seating options and three food trucks that rotate daily. You will also find delicious ice cream sold out front or the best cheesesteak in Dallas made inside the main building.
The vibe of Truck Yard is definitely casual. The outdoor area’s decor is an eclectic mix, as you’ll find picnic tables, mismatched lawn chairs, pink flamingos and rusty car parts making you think you may have just walked into a junkyard. However the good beer, food and live music prove otherwise.
One of the most impressive parts of Truck Yard is the treehouse bar. This bar, which is actually perched inside an old pecan tree, only serves up bottled, rum-based cocktails made from scratch. As you guzzle down your delicious, carbonated cocktail concoction, enjoy the view below where food trucks and foodies alike come together at this adult playground.
Many people come here to drink the adult beverages, either served at the treehouse bar, the airstream trailer-turned-bar or the air-conditioned indoor bar. However the food from the food trucks here should not be missed. Truck Yard strives to feature the best of Dallas food trucks. Therefore every single time you go to Truck Yard, you may be treated with a different food truck. So no matter if you’re in the mood for pizza, cajun food, sandwiches or Mexican fare, Truck Yard has a variety of options that are sure to please all taste buds.
Truck Yard’s laid-back attitude makes it a great place to grab beer with your buddies or even a Sunday cocktail with your love. Both kids and dogs are allowed in Truck Yard; it’s truly a come-as-you-are establishment. As such, you won’t find big city prices here. The craft beers and cocktails are reasonably priced, which keep regulars coming back and newcomers coming in.
This too-cool establishment may just give Austin bars a run for their money. If you’re in the Dallas area and looking for a bar with a great scene, great food, and even better drinks, Truck Yard is where to stop.
