Eclectic indoor / outdoor bar with weekend daytime life music. Usually a few food trucks, or permanent cheesesteak stand next to bar. If you end up in the Lower Greenville neighborhood we also recommend Single Wide, Rapscallion, Teppo, HG Supply and Greenville Ave Pizza.

Great culinary display of all things Dallas. Check the hours and it doesn’t open quite as early as a traditional farmers market. The produce shed across the street has the typical produce and food vendor offerings and is usually going earlier than the food hall.
