Four Corners Brewing Co.
The cedars · Latino-Owned · Est. 2012
Four Corners Brewery is a Latino-owned craft brewery, set in a historic carriage house in The Cedars neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. More than just a taproom, Four Corners is a cultural gathering place where la buena onda flows as freely as the beer, a space built on flavor, community, and soul that helped put Dallas craft beer on the map. As one of the few Latino-owned craft breweries in Dallas, Four Corners blends traditional brewing with Latino culture and hospitality in a way you won’t find anywhere else in the city.
Hungry? Our on-site food vendor, Pacheco Taco n Burger, serves smash burgers and great vibes right in the taproom, so you can pair a cold pint with a hot meal without ever leaving the brewery. And if you’re stopping by earlier in the day, Olmo at the Cedars now serves coffee inside the Four Corners Taproom Thursday – Sunday from 11am to 6pm, making this historic Cedars carriage house a one-stop spot for craft beer, coffee, and food any time you visit.

2 TAPROOMS · DESIGN DISTRICT
INDUSTRIAL COOL
Warehouse walls, award-winning ales, and biergartens that mean business. The Design District brings serious craft credibility to Dallas’s most aesthetic zip code.
PETICOLAS BREWING COMPANY
Design District · EST. 2011
Founded by Michael Peticolas, a lawyer who left his practice to open one of the first two breweries in modern Dallas! He then spent years on the Texas Craft Brewers Guild board helping rewrite the state laws that had kept breweries like his from existing. The tri-level warehouse taproom still has the ping pong and foosball to show for it.
1301 Pace St, Dallas, TX 75207
Signature Pours: Velvet Hammer Imperial Red Ale + Golden Opportunity Kölsch
COMMUNITY BEER CO.
Trinity Groves · EST. 2013
Brews under the motto “Beer for the Greater Good,” with a house yeast-propagation program that lets the team develop new strains for each recipe. The 70,000-square-foot production house and biergarten now doubles as an events hub, supporting local artists and musicians along the way.
📍3110 Commonwealth Dr, Dallas, TX 75247
Signature Pours: Mosaic IPA + Texas Lager
1 TAPROOM · MEDICAL DISTRICT
A Cosmic Pour
Not the first neighborhood you’d think of for craft beer, but Celestial Beerworks makes it worth the detour.
CELESTIAL BEERWORKS
Medical District · EST. 2018
Started by home-brewing engineer Matt Reynolds and his wife Molly in 2018, built around a shared obsession with hops and an art-and-science theme that shows up in the constellation murals overhead. Thursday trivia and Sunday BYO-Vinyl keep the picnic tables full.
📍2530 Butler St, Dallas, TX 75235
Signature Pours: Hazy IPAS + Ube Tropic
1 TAPROOM · Oak Cliff
NEIGHBORHOOD ROOTS
Oak Cliff’s brewery keeps it local, creative, and real, a natural pre-game for a walk through nearby Bishop Arts.
OAK CLIFF BREWING CO.
OAk Cliff · EST. 2018
Founded by Oak Cliff native Joel Denton and cousins who grew up in the neighborhood, under the tagline “Beer with roots.” The taproom sits inside Tyler Station, a converted 1920s wax-paper factory now shared with local artists and makers. Mural-adorned walls and a dog-friendly beer garden included.
📍1300 S Polk St #222, Dallas, TX 75224
Signature Pours: Limeade Paleta Weisse + Neighborhood Lagers
2 TAPROOMS · WEST DALLAS
COLD WAR, WARM WELCOME
Small-batch and Cold War–themed at one end, award-winning and family-founded at the other. West Dallas has quietly become one of the city’s best two-stop brewery pairings.
MANHATTAN PROJECT BEER CO.
WEST DALLAS · EST. 2018
Started in 2013 by Karl and Misty Sanford and their friend Jeremy Brodt after years of “beercation” trips turned into a business plan. The West Dallas taproom leans into the atomic-age name with puns like Hoppenheimer, backed by a full espresso bar and a dedicated chef running the kitchen.
📍2215 Sulphur St, Dallas, TX 75208
Signature Pours: Half-Life Hazy IPA + The Espresso Bar
WHITE ROCK BREWING CO.
WEST DALLAS · EST. 2017
Started in 2017 by longtime friends Dave Kirk and Greg Nixon at their original White Rock Lake alehouse, before this larger West Dallas location gave them room for a full 20-barrel brewhouse. Their Big Thicket Blonde has picked up medals at both the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup. We recommend trying it alongside a wood-fired pizza on Trivia Tuesday.
📍2477 N Beckley Ave, Dallas, TX 75208
Signature Pours: Big Thicket Blonde + IPO IPA
2 TAPROOMS · DEEP ELLUM
BEER & CIDER ROW
Dallas’s original arts and music district, where beer and cider still flow at Westlake Brewing and Trinity Cider.
WESTLAKE BREWING COMPANY
DEEP ELLUM · EST. 2015
Opened by former semiconductor engineer Art Harvey, who decided mid-run with his neighborhood running group in 2016 that it was time to quit his corporate job and open a brewery. He built Westlake on a simple idea , “refreshing simplicity” over one-upmanship with a quieter patio than Deep Ellum’s usual scene. Local tip: grab seafood from The Crab Station across the street.
📍2816 Commerce St, Dallas, TX 75226
On Tap: Craft Beer + Cider + Mead
TRINITY CIDER
DEEP ELLUM · EST. 2018
Opened by Evan Kalstad in 2018 as one of only two cideries in Dallas at the time, known for playful fusion flavors and cider takes on a sake bomb. It outgrew its original space and moved a block down Main Street, bringing along Picadera, a Dominican street-food kitchen whose chimi burger has its own local following.
📍2721 Main St, Dallas, TX 75226
On Tap: Rotating Ciders
1 TAPROOM · DOWNTOWN
ART DECO & ALEs
Beer hasn’t been brewed in the central business district since the 1930s. Pegasus City brought it back in a building that looks the part.
PEGASUS CITY BREWERY
DOWNTOWN · EST. 2017
Founded by three friends who quit their day jobs to brew full-time, Pegasus City’s downtown taproom sits inside the 1931 Art Deco Dallas Power & Light building. The first brewery to operate downtown since Prohibition. Original 1930s chandeliers hang overhead, and the flagship Nine Volt tripel is named after the building itself.
📍1508 Commerce St, Dallas, TX 75201
Known For: Rotating Flights + Art Deco Taproom
1 TAPROOM · LAKE HIGHLANDS
NEIGHBORHOOD PUB ENERGY
East Dallas’s brewpub: less spectacle, more consistency, plus a scratch kitchen and morning coffee service.
VECTOR BREWING
DOWNTOWN · EST. 2017
Opened in 2020 by Craig and Veronica Bradley. Craig spent six years building the brand at Lakewood Brewing before starting something smaller and more neighborhood-focused with his own family. Vector has since been named Texas’s small-producer Brewery of the Year, and the scratch sourdough pizza kitchen holds its own against the beer.
📍9850 Walnut Hill Ln #405, Dallas, TX 75238
Known For: 7-Barrel House Beers + Stone-Deck Pizza
1 TAPROOM · GARLAND
WORTH THE DRIVE
Just east of the city line, one of Texas’s most beloved craft beers has a taproom built around it.
LAKEWOOD BREWING CO.
DOWNTOWN · EST. 2017
Founded in 2012 by Belgium-born Wim Bens, who started home brewing in search of the Belgian-style beers he grew up with. Temptress Imperial Milk Stout, the beer that came out of that search, is now the best-selling craft stout in Texas. It’s worth the 20–30 minute drive from downtown Dallas for the taproom’s rotating two dozen taps alone.
📍2302 Executive Dr, Garland, TX 75041
Known For: Temptress Imperial Milk Stout + Beer Garden
