The wedding is getting closer, which means it's time to gather the crew for one last big weekend before the big day. From local breweries and pizza to sports, live music and late-night entertainment, Arlington has plenty of ways to celebrate. 

Here's your guide to two days of food, drinks, entertainment and fun in Arlington. 

 

Division Brewing cheers beer

 

Day 1: Drinks, Dinner & Entertainment 
 
Start With a Beer at Division Brewing 

Kick off the weekend in Downtown Arlington with a cold beer at Division Brewing, Arlington's first locally owned and operated brewery. Grab a pint, hang out on the patio and let everyone settle into the weekend. 

Dinner at Old School Pizza Tavern 

Keep the casual vibes going at Old School Pizza Tavern. Located in a historic house on West Abram Street, this neighborhood favorite serves specialty pizzas, wings, sandwiches and craft beer. 

Order a few pizzas for the table, grab a drink and enjoy a relaxed dinner before heading to the Entertainment District. 

Head to Texas Live! 

Once dinner is finished, make your way to Texas Live! for the rest of the night. With multiple restaurants, bars and entertainment venues all in one place, it's easy to keep the evening going. 

Grab a drink, catch some live music or head over to Sports & Social Arlington for bowling, arcade games, shuffleboard, ping pong and more. 

And if the group is up for it, check out PBR Texas for live music, dancing and a little mechanical bull action.

Day 2: Sports, Steaks & One More Round 

 

Start With Breakfast 

Take the morning slow with breakfast and coffee before getting ready for another full day in Arlington. We suggest checking out Breakfast Brothers or Huckleberry's for your favorite southern classics! 

Spend the Afternoon in the Entertainment District 

Make Saturday your sports and entertainment day. 

Catch a Texas Rangers game at Globe Life Field, take a tour of AT&T Stadium or plan your weekend around another event happening in the Entertainment District. No game on the schedule? No problem. Head back to Texas Live! for more games, drinks and entertainment, or explore another part of Arlington. 

Grab Some Texas Barbecue 

When in Arlington, you can’t miss Texas BBQ. Check out local favorites such as Roy Hutchin’s, Hurtado, Smoke’N Ash, or Hard Eight for classic Texas barbecue. Load up on brisket, ribs and all the sides before getting ready for the evening.

Dinner at Mercury Chophouse 

For the big Saturday night dinner, make a reservation at Mercury Chophouse. 

Mercury Chophouse offers steaks, seafood, cocktails and incredible views of Arlington. It's the perfect place to slow down, enjoy a nice dinner and raise a glass to the groom. 

End the Night at PBR Texas 

And because it's a bachelor weekend, the night doesn't have to end after dinner. 

Head back to PBR Texas for live music, dancing, drinks and mechanical bull riding. Challenge the groom, or the bravest member of the group to see who can last the longest. 

 
Make a Weekend of It 

From Downtown Arlington to the Entertainment District, it's easy to fill two days with great food, cold drinks, sports and entertainment.
