https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/visiting-dfw-look-here-first-summer-edition.511408/ I'd suggest looking here first. There's been a lot of discussion about this. It largely depends on the part of town you are going to and what types of beer are your favorite.
Deep Ellum is just across the highway from there. Deep Ellum Brewery is just over a 1 mile walk and Braindead Brewpub is closer. I've liked some of Deep Ellum beers but when I went there I had trouble distinguishing the beers. They all just tasted like the same IPA. The other central Dallas breweries are also close by. Peticolas is the best with a variety of beers.
Oh. If you like Americanized Thai food you can go to Malai Kitchen in north Uptown. They have a handful of home brewed beers. If you like lagers their Bia Hoi is a great rice lager. They supposedly have a good juicy IPA although I don't know if that's at the Dallas location or will still be on.
