Once upon a time there was a place in Dallas that was run down and filled with bums, trash and a lot of unsavory characters. Enter a group of people with a vision of cleaning up this area, reinventing the warehouses to be restaurants, shops, boutiques, bistros and bars. Throw in some live music and street performers and you have Dallas' West End located at 1701 N. Market Street. If you visit the West End during the day you can munch at the indoor food court,shop in any of the dozens of stores and boutiques, play a little miniature golf,or have some fun at the video arcade. If you visit at night, that's when the real fun starts. There are a myriad of restaurants and bars and many have outdoor patio seating - take advantage of it if the night is right. There are 5 levels of fun to explore at the West End. The entire basement area is a video arcade. Also, there are 4 levels of souvenir, gifts, antiques and food shops. The top level has a bar, a mall-like fast food court, and an indoor miniature golf course. Open escalators take you from one level to another and if needed there are elevators available.
