West Village

Was told it was a 45 minute wait. An hour and a half later and I watched more people get a cut that came after me than were there when I arrived. I left without a cut. I won’t come back

Definitely a highlight of Uptown and a great atmosphere located deep in the Dallas Metroplex. With a plethora of restaurants and retail, people of all ages will enjoy walking around this fun complex. They have a theater (Magnolia), a Taco Diner, and a Mi Cocina just to name a few. I highly advise anyone to take the time and visit this gem.
~Carpe Diem~

I was not impressed with this area. So many shops are so spread out that we didn’t know whether it was worth it to keep going in a certain direction, or not. More restaurants worth going to than stores. A lot of the stores were closed at varying times and on different days, making it harder to make a day out of shopping here. There are better outdoor shopping centers in Dallas.

Fancy little shopping center. Great for a walk around for window shopping (and for shopping, if you have the $$$). Has quite a few good restaurants and a great movie theater, as well.

If you are thinking of moving here, don’t. You will hate your life. It is very VERY noisy at all hours of the day thanks to random construction, the trolley, obnoxious patrons in their noisy cars/​roadsters/​crotch rockets, pigeons (I never thought I’d hate on them, but they have made my patio completely unusable), and noisy drunks/​homeless people passing through. I don’t even understand the chaos sometimes. Also, it’s definitely becoming less safe as more people are «discovering» this area. It’s not worth it.

Uptown has many advantages if you live in the area. Sure it may be crowded, but it’s where everyone else is. Among the numerous apartments and nice restaurants, you have an area for those shoppers. An outdoor setting with many of the basic shops that you see at other shops, except this one is in Uptown.

I have no idea what has happened to West Village… on one hand it’s great there are more stores and such, but most of the shopping is so… boring. You dont go to West Village to shop, (unless you live here) you go to sit on the patio and eat. This is Uptown, you are here to be seen and spend top dollar on average tasting food and $ 10 and up per drink. That’s the cost of being seen, my friend. Otherwise you’re a loser. (sarcasm)
Prime example some chick above said something about «take the trolley here because there’s nowhere to park your roadster.» I actually can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not… I do happen to have a roadster. But anyone with a roadster ain’t about to take the trolley. Not to this place! I always find parking for my roadster in uptown, it’s called valet.
Back in 2008 – 2010 before this area took a turn for the worse, it was like a hidden gem. I loved hanging out here. Now, when I drive by Mi Cocina, I it looks more like everyone in Oak Cliff decided to show up. I’ll just stop here while I’m ahead.

I love this area due to the shopping options and being so close to Starbucks, restaurants and the dog park. It’s the perfect place to relax in on a lazy Sunday afternoon and people watch. The crowd is trendy, preppy, professionals, maybe a bit snooty but hey, better than sketchy, rowdy, dirty, or on drugs right? Anyway, there’s a theatre, coffee shops, Mexican food, burgers, bars, pizza, Thai, Japanese. The dog park is cute and filed on weekends. Overall, this is one of the nicest areas around town.

Located at the north end of uptown, West Village is probably the classiest place in Dallas. Great selection of restaurants and desert places, and a nice movie theater. They have everything here! My favorite is Grimaldi’s.

Great sweet and Spicy Turkey Burger!!! Great atmosphere. This place is a must if you are in the area.

West Village continues to expand and I cannot believe they have the space to do so. Stores are pretty cramped in small spaces and parking is a headache. On top of that, traffic is crazy on any given weeknight and even more so on the weekends. Amidst all this, I enjoy West Village.
I have dined at a few restaurants in this area and they’re all enjoyable. They have something for everyone to enjoy (tex-​mex, american, thai, etc). Just shy of the area is my favorite coffee shop, Sip Stir. I always have to make a stop at Sip Stir when I’m around this area. If you want to shop, you got your regulars such as J. Crew, BR, and Gap. Go up a notch to Tommy Bahama and Club Monaco. Or, shop at the cute boutique stores (Y&U and Pitaya). I’m curious to try one of the nail salons or maybe try a yoga class at Bikram Yoga Dallas.

West Village, what’s not to like? You can park in the parking garage and off you go to shop or eat at a variety of trendy shops and restaurants. If you go on the weekend, you are bound to park on the fifth level of the parking garage and get stuck in a long line to get in and out of the area. If you visit on a weekday you won’t encounter the same level of congestion.
West Village is awesome because it’s not the same old outdoor shopping mall with the same stores as every other mall. There are local boutiques, some national stores, and the restaurants aren’t all chain restaurants. It’s a nice change from the usual shopping center plus the parking being available is a bonus.

Wonderful shopd. I could stsy there all day maybe even all day, I know how I am. I will do it and by mysef.

A GREAT place to hang out ANY day of the week!
You’ve got your shopping, dining, apartment living, it’s like your modern One Stop Shop for any and everything. The cool and comfortable thing about this area is you can park and walk everywhere. FREE parking at that, unless you wanna be fancy shmancy and valet LoL
The Springs & Summers in this area are full of fun, energy, people everywhere, music, just boomin’…social scene on point! One of my favorite places is Mi Cocina. Their patio is the perfect spot to sip on a margarita, their Mambo Taxi specifically, nibble on chips and salsa and enjoy a beautiful day or evening with friends or family. Also, Max’s Wine & Dive and Pop Diner, both have great mimosas, variety of food, both great for brunch, you will not be disappointed.
Whatever you’re looking for, whether it’s for Sunday Funday, a birthday celebration, family gathering, date night, West Village is a perfect place to start!

I always make a visit everytime I come to Dallas! They have everything from Club Monaco to cute boutiques! It is one of my favorite shopping places! Parking can be a bit tricky but it is worth it! FYI they are not an advertiser as I do love many places that are not clients;) had to put that in there:)

This is probably one of my favorite spots in the Uptown area. It is shopping and restaurant heaven! If you want to sit on the patio with some friends throwing back mimosas and get in some prime people watching… definitely come here on a Saturday afternoon. Or get your heart rate up with a fiery Bikram Yoga class and have a kombucha afterwards! Either way you will find something here to enjoy. Definitely a hot spot to bring out of towners and just spend the day. There’s also a ton of lofts and fancy apartments in the area if you’re looking for a living space. Also typically parking is not an issue as there’s a free parking garage and lots of side streets where you can grab a spot.

West Village is one the main highlights of Uptown and it’s easy to see why. Seems like there is a new business springing up here every month.
Shopping for a new fit? They’ve got your staples like J Crew, Ann Taylor, Gap and Banana Republic. Prefer local? Check out their adorable clothing and jewelry boutiques as well (men’s specialty stores included).
And after all that shopping you’ll probably get hungry. No worries, they have plenty of good restaurants at various price points to satisfy your cravings: Eureka, Malai, Village Burger to name just a few.
Date night? How about a movie at the Magnolia? (Extra plus since they carry lots of quality indie films too!).
I love living so close to this center and appreciate that it’s one of few walkable areas of Dallas. Only downside is that parking is almost always congested… garage and all.

What a hip and trendy area! West Village gives you the city feel without all of the city hustle and bustle. There are many boutique shops and restaurants all throughout. If you enjoy more larger scale shopping, the likes of the Gap and Loft are there too. There’s also movie theater! Oh and of course, there’s a Starbucks. I really enjoyed my time hanging out in this area. The residential area is beautiful while the shopping, bars and restaurants are easily accessible.

I LOVE West Village. When I first moved to Dallas, this was my stomping ground. I was immediately drawn to the atmosphere of mixed space — residential and shopping all in one. It reminded me of Chelsea in short blocks of retail space and the constant foot traffic of scattering about with friends.
While I was a student, I flocked to the Starbucks location numerous times. This SB is one of the most spacious ones that I have ever seen, and the only one that is open past 11 pm in Dallas. This made for late night study sessions in a space that I love to be in anyway.
I have also frequented the movie theatre located here as it is a hotspot for independent films — which I love. I am excited that the new phases of West Village are nearing completion, adding some additional 25K sq. ft of additional retail space.
West Village has become a jewel in the heart of Dallas’ Uptown. This is a great place to take visiting friends to get a glimpse of Dallas is becoming.

This is a pop up in the middle of the city type action… I would say desert, but it’s about the same in Texas. Meanwhile there area a number of clothing establishments and a few «other» type shopping places. You have your starbucks and many eateries.
The outdoor mall is pretty good most of the year here in Dallas with the weather and there is a huge parking garage. All in all it’s ok with a couple of boutiques and a little spa. For Uptown it’s pretty important and there wouldn’t be much to do otherwise.
