Full Circle Tavern, a modern pub with a neighborhood feel, is opening in South Side in mid-April adjacent to Bill’s Records and 
across from Cedars Social.
From Jennifer Bonner and Lara Whittington of EdiblEnvy Catering, the relaxed pub is sure to become a neighborhood favorite. An extensive craft beer list, hearty sandwiches, vegetarian options, and rotating chips flavors like “truffle” and “Bloody Mary” should ensure that.
“We’re excited to become part of the South Lamar community and can’t wait to share our delicious food and ‘everyone-knows-your-name’ style with our neighbors. Our friends will tell you we love to laugh and have a good time, so we want FCT to reflect that,” says Lara.

South Side’s trendy The Cedars Social is known for having some of the best cocktails in DFW, including the Mexican Monk, a drink that blends tequila, green Chartreuse, serrano chile, lime and agave nectar. They were kind enough to share Michael Martensen’s recipe on their Facebook page today, which got us all kinds of excited.
Make a toast to hump day with The Cedar’s Social Mexican Monk. Cheers!

When: March 6 @ 8 p.m.
Where: Absinthe Lounge
21+
It’s maddening to think of how much undiscovered talent is out there. Thankfully, Dallas-based Mad Swirl is paying attention! Their monthly Open Mic takes place the first Wednesday of every month at 8:00 p.m. sharp where they “will swirl it up madly in the live way” in South Side’s Absinthe Lounge. The goal is to provide a showcase for artists in this “mad, mad world.” We’re talking all kinds of artists; from poets and musicians, to actors and Elvis impersonators. All mad talented of course.
Catch this month’s featured performer, Gayle Bell, tomorrow night. Get there early to get one of the 17 spots on their lineup for the night or just take in all the swirled up madness. It’s bound to be great.

Dallas-based developer Jack Matthews, CEO of Matthews Southwest, is redefining the Cedars neighborhood adjacent to Downtown Dallas. Jack sat down with YouPlus last week at the Enroute event, to discuss his role in South Side, his next big project for the area, and what he envisions for the future of South Dallas.
The Rivers (or possibly River City if Jack gets his way) is a 60 acre development along the Trinity River, just south of the Dallas Convention Center. Located amidst the Downtown, South Side, and so close to nature, The Rivers will be a unique mix of retail, restaurant and entertainment venues, and will place a heavy emphasis on residential living.

Imagine this: you’re a CEO who has recently relocated or expanded your business to DFW, and you don’t know a soul. Okay, maybe one soul, but that’s not enough to get you fully plugged in to the corporate scene. You have to start from the ground up, meet well-connected and established CEOs and businessmen and women who have lived there for years and hope to make some connections. That’s what Matthews Southwest CEO Jack Matthews had to do when he relocated from Canada to Dallas in March of 1994.
Then imagine this: you’re a CEO who has recently relocated or expanded your business to DFW, and you don’t know a soul. So you join Enroute, a group of DFW private sector leaders and influencers who welcome you into their network of like-minded people. Their mission: to work collectively with those who helped build it and those who will be a part of its ongoing legacy. Sounds a little easier, right?

In honor of our second consecutive Dallas Observer ‘Best Dallas Website’ win last week, YouPlusDallas took to the roof of the new NYLO Dallas South Side to celebrate. Apart from having arguably the coolest view of Dallas, the rooftop hosts an infinity pool, a foosball table, a fire pit and some seriously tasty appetizers and cocktails. The French 75 was fantastic and the Soda Bar’s cheese plate is top notch. You can never go wrong with a cheese plate.
We enjoyed a little after work chitchat.
Uploaded some videopinions for The Box Score (the work of those at the ‘Best Dallas Website’ is never done).
Ate some Street Tacos.
And took in a breathtaking view of beautiful Downtown Dallas.

Mike Muller, Dan Healy, Mike Rawlings, Pauline Medrano and Jack Matthews at the NYLO ribbon cutting
On Monday, August 20, Mayor Mike Rawlings cut the ribbon for the grand opening ceremony of NYLO Dallas South Side. The third NYLO in Dallas was converted from a 102-year-old building next to South Side on Lamar into a boutique, LEED certified urban hotel. Yesterday marked an important day for those who have worked on developing the hotel, but it also marked a milestone for the revitalized South Side and anyone watching as Dallas transforms into a world-class city.
NYLO Dallas South Side features art created by local artists specifically for the hotel and effectively reflects the soul of the hip neighborhood. The hotel also features the French-inspired Terrace Bistro and the inevitably cool rooftop Soda Bar with infinity pool, casual grill, and an unforgettable view of downtown.

Driving around after a visit to the farmer’s market last week, I stumbled upon a building that caught my interest. I asked a man on the street what the attractive brick-and-pane-glass complex was, and he told me it was a shelter, called The Bridge. He lived there, and said it was a nice place.
I was caught off-guard for three reasons, the first being that this sleek collection of buildings looked more like a corporate headquarters or a private high school than a shelter. Secondly, this man seemed to be proud of his homeless shelter. That struck me as odd.
Then came my third surprise — the ‘Aha!’ moment. Over Christmas, visiting family in Charleston, SC, my cousin roped me into volunteering with her at a local food shelter there. The buzz around that place, Crisis Ministries, was the upcoming groundbreaking of a new LEED certified center, at a cost of $6 million.
It seemed questionable that a city, especially one in the not-so-rich deep south, would be spending so much money on its homeless population. Any questions I had about the merits of dropping that kind of dime on the needy were alleviated after my discovery of The Bridge in Dallas. (more…)

Exploring South Side on Lamar gave me a completely new perspective Dallas hasn’t given me before. As a Dallas native, I usually keep to the Park Cities and Uptown neighborhoods, and rarely venture south of Woodall Rogers. South Side is almost like its own little neighborhood with a mini market, coffee shop, cocktail lounge and restaurant.
The most unique aspect of South Side is the eclectic collaboration of businesses and residences. Many residents utilize their loft as a studio for their work, whether they are an artist, designer or musician, the South Side on Lamar lofts allow residents to have a private area where they can use their creative outlet.
