Right next to the American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars, Hero is a perfect destination for burgers, tacos, and plenty of cocktails before or after the game.

A Victory Park stalwart, Cook Hall has been serving gastropub fare inside the W Dallas hotel since long before the revitalization began. It’s open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, serving everything from omelets to lobster gnocchi and duck tacos.

The sweet offerings go far beyond the basic popsicle at this frozen dessert destination. Excellent gelato and sorbet pops await, in flavors like green tea, blood orange, and banana, all of which can be customized with chocolatey drizzles, sprinkles, sauces, and nuts. There’s also ice cream sandwich popsicles and gelato milkshakes.

Brownies, cookies, macarons, and cake pops abound at this Victory Park bakery, which also offers coffee drinks, a lengthy list of teas and tea lattes, wine, and craft beer. Pair a masala chai with a snickerdoodle or salted caramel macaron to find pastry bliss.

The menu at Dallas chef Kent Rathbun’s newest Dallas restaurant borrows from a number of Asian cuisines, which means that a pretty broad assortment of dishes — including sushi, “angry shrimp” served with crispy duck forbidden rice, and king crab roasted in sriracha butter — is on the menu.

Arguably one of the best new additions to Victory Park’s dining scene, Billy Can Can’s saloon schtick belies the chic space and solid dishes that await inside.

Already one of Dallas’s favorite Tex-Mex establishments, Mesero brings a killer brunch destination to Victory Park. Head here on the weekends for chilaquiles, avocado toast, and huevos rancheros, Mesero-style. Of course, the frozen margaritas will also be flowing.

Known for its Roman and Neapolitan-style pies, Olivella’s perfectly charred crusts are topped with freshly made mozzarella, thick tomato sauce, and meats like sausage and sopressata. Save room for the dessert pie, topped with Nutella, pears, and gooey toasted marshmallows.

Chicken-apricot tagine, lamb merguez sausage skewers, and seafood pastilla await at this mostly Moroccan Mediterranean eatery. Pair one of those rich tagines with one of Medina’s “sexy” cocktails, perhaps a mint tea martini or a Moroccan mojito?

Victory Park’s newest newcomer is Dibs, a quirky new eatery with plenty of comfort food and cocktails. Bring a crowd and share snacks like fried pretzels, nachos, and ceviche, then dig into grown-up steak fingers, chicken pot pie, or filet mignon paired with poblano-bacon mac and cheese.
