I was surprised by this place. It was in Garland and not too busy, yet it has some of the best beers I have had. I highly recommend trying their different stouts. The location is pretty unassuming and not as flashy as some of the other local spots, but there beer is far superior to most. If you have the time when in DFW, try going out of your way to enjoy a few hours here. You will relish it!

This old theater in downtown Garland has been beautifully restored. Since it is a small theater there are no bad seats. I have seen plays and live musical performances there! Good prices and great fun. Beautiful original art of “old” Garland hangs on the walls.

Curtis Culwell Center

Reviewed By CyndiG20

This event center is conveniently located just off the GWBT. It is continually booked with a full myriad of community events, from multi-city graduations, craft fairs, seminars, church events, comedians, you name it, it has well hosted events. Parking is great, the center staffs their own attendants all the way from the parking to throughout the center. Each time is open drink and food vendors are contracted. It is safe. I have been alone to several events and always felt safe. There are canned questions below that are not applicable. The center hosts many different types of events. Go to website and follow what is available.
