From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bishop Arts District is a small shopping and entertainment district in north Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas (USA), near the intersection of Bishop Street and Davis Street (SH 180).
The area was originally developed as warehouses and shops in the 1920s. In the 1930s, a trolley stop along Davis became Dallas' busiest trolley stop. Starting in the 1980s and continuing through the 1990s and 2000s, renovations have taken place to transform the area into a walkable, urban environment. Murals, brick pavers, and other street elements have polished the rough look of the warehouses and have made the area a popular leisure and dining destination.[1]
Neighbors and visitors enjoy an eclectic mix of restaurants including Hatties (American Bistro), Vera Cruz (Meso-American, Mayan, Aztec), Vitto's (Italian), Chan Thai (Thai), El Jordan (Mexican), Grill 400 (American), Tillman's Roadhouse (American), Cosmo Rouge (American Bistro), Jaci's (Mexican) (formerly Tlaque) and Cafe Madrid (Spanish Tapas).
