Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Sports Bars

    Katy Trail Ice House is a large Uptown restaurant and bar built around its outdoor space, with sports games running on televisions throughout the room and the sound left on rather than muted. It fills up any day the weather cooperates, a crowd spread across the patio and the bar alike with a game always somewhere in view. Order a Deep Eddy lemon vodka Blue Moon Lemonade and find a spot on the patio to watch whatever is playing.

  • Chili

    The Dallas Morning News counts two beers in the chestnut-hued chili at this Routh Street ice house, Miller Lite and Shiner Bock, though it is the tender venison you taste first. Ancho and pasilla chiles push the flavor dark and smoky across a low simmer of several hours, until the venison crumbles apart and nearly melts away. The bowl comes in two sizes. Order the dark beer venison chili in one of the two sizes the paper lists.
