Late Night Eats: East Dallas

We've been there; it's late and you're hungry.


Let's keep it real; late night food is limited after midnight, so we put together a guide featuring some of our favorites around Greenville & Henderson Avenue. The best part of these East Dallas spots is that there's plenty of nightlife nearby so your night doesn't have to end early.


Check out our East Dallas picks and stay tuned for more neighborhood late night spotlights!

The Old Monk

2847 N Henderson Ave, Dallas, TX | More Info

Serving til: 1am Sun -Thurs 


A classic Irish pub on Henderson Avenue with our favorite fish and chips in town, scratch made sauces and a wide selection of local and foreign beers (and their Trappist beers are literally made by monks). Everything is great here, but don't skip the mini whiskey cheddar bacon burgers, cheese board, or veggie burger - they're all on the late night menu. This place is never empty and has it's own culture of regulars.

The Skellig 

2409 Henderson Avenue, Dallas, TX | More Info

Serves til: 1am Sun -Thurs


Named after the islands off of Ireland that are featured in Starwars: The Last Jedi, The Skellig has a contemporary take of an Irish pub. The late night menu includes a cheese board with a variety of options but our favorite is the St. Andre, a French triple cream soft cheese similar to Brie that pairs great with a pale lager like Kronenbourg. The mini chicken avocado sandwiches are totally worth a mention too.

Zalat

2519 N Fitzhugh Ave, Dallas, TX | More Info

Serves til: 4 am Daily


Located next to Dalat, Zalat is open until 4am, reinforcing the commitment to late night food that it shares with their sister restaurant. This place is all about pizza! But let's talk about their crust because their balance of crisp, charred yet perfectly chewable pizzas are created from their home made dough and baked in an old school deck oven. Plus, it's topped with fresh and delicious options and sauces you'll dream about. 




The list goes on and on and...
