Downtown Dallas has an official Entertainment District where you're allowed to enjoy alcoholic beverages outdoors—on the streets and sidewalks—within certain guidelines.

​

Here’s what you need to know:

• You can carry and drink alcoholic beverages in the Entertainment District, but only in clear plastic cups provided by bars or restaurants licensed to serve alcohol

  • Current establishments include Vintage Wine Bar, Sal's Pizza, and Hopp Frogg Music​

• Each person is only allowed one drink at a time when taking it outside of the establishment.

• All drinks must be 16 ounces or less—no oversized cups, cans, bottles, or glass containers are allowed.

• You can’t bring your own alcohol or drink anything you didn’t purchase from a business inside the district with the proper license.

• Drinking in the district is allowed during these times:

  • Monday through Saturday: 9 a.m. to midnight

  • Sunday: 12:30 p.m. to midnight

• Drinking or carrying open containers of alcohol in your car—even while parked—is not allowed.

• Businesses can also opt out by posting a sign saying “Outside Drinks Not Allowed.”​

Make sure to stay within the boundaries of the Entertainment District (as shown on the official map) and enjoy responsibly!
