Life is sweeter when spent with loved ones, which is why it’s important to take the time to carve out space in your week for your sweetheart. To get out of your comfort zone for your next date night, Dallas’ Victory Park is a must. The booming dining and entertainment district is continuing to build up its list of impressive restaurants and bars, so it’s the perfect time to get a feel for the area.
There’s a lot to do in this part of Dallas, American Airlines Center and House of Blues included, but we want to take you on the road less traveled in Victory Park. Make the most of your trip out east by stopping by these sweet spots.

Sweet Tooth Hotel
When Sweet Tooth Hotel debuted last May, it brought beautiful displays of candy, cakes and sugar to Dallas. Its tasty artistic exhibitions acted as sweet backdrops for people looking to up their Instagram game or just as an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon. This year, Sweet Tooth Hotel is doing it all again – this time with a twist.
DISCOTECH will open on May 25 and promises to take guests on a sensory adventure with interactive audio-visual installations. Patrons will each get their own silent disco headphones that will put them in the spirit while exploring the 5,000 square foot space. Swing by the studio’s bar on your excursion to get the most of your experience.
Imoto
Imoto
With a world-class sushi bar, exquisite drinks and an upscale ambiance, Imoto made a splash in the dining scene after opening its doors last year. The elevated pan-Asian fusion concept, created by chef Kent Rathbun, uses fresh ingredients to put a twist on cultural classics. Start off with a smooth sake or vibrant cocktail before trying their unique signatures, like their Tempura Lobster Shooters with kaffir red curry and scallions or their Little Sister’s Korean Fried Chicken with gochujang butter and honey soy glaze.
Whether you choose to enjoy the fruits of the sea in one of their sophisticated rolls or from the land in their entrees, diners can expect to be wowed by their vibrant flavors and beautiful presentation. For an interactive experience, order the Traditional Hot Rocks with Texas Wagyu or A5 Miyazaki. Or, to get a sampling of an array of their dishes, stop by for their Omakase Wednesdays, a seven-course tasting prepared by their world-renowned chefs.
Popbar
Popbar
Just down the way from Imoto sits Popbar, a sweets shop known for their gelato on a stick. The storefront offers everything from PopBites, praline sized treats you can eat on the go, to Popwiches, a bar with two crunchy chocolate cookies on either side.
For a sweet for later, pick up a pack of their Hot Chocolate On A Stick. Available in dark chocolate, vanilla white, caramel, mocha and peppermint chocolate, these little treats give you all the velvety goodness you look for in a hot chocolate. And all you need to do is add hot milk and enjoy. It’s a great dessert to bring home and enjoy with the whole family after spending a day out in Dallas.
