Deep Ellum

Dallas · United States

Deep Ellum is Dallas's most creative neighborhood, a former industrial district east of downtown that has evolved into the city's arts and music hub, where live music venues, galleries, craft cocktail bars, and street murals cover nearly every wall. The neighborhood's warehouse buildings and rail yards gave birth to the legendary Dallas Blues scene in the 1920s, and it retains its role as the incubator of Dallas's creative scene. Walking the muraled streets reveals a constantly evolving outdoor gallery of local and international street artists.
