🎯 Local Biz Spotlight
Another Round (West Dallas)
If you’ve ever wished mini golf came with craft cocktails, you’re in luck. Another Round is Dallas’ first indoor mini-golf and bar combo. a locally owned spot that turns date night into friendly competition (or mild chaos, depending who you bring). The 18-hole course mixes humor, neon, and local art, while their side games, like Duffleboard, pickleball, and cornhole—keep things moving. Add their sister spots (Round Two, a retro arcade + karaoke bar, and The Turn, a golf-sim lounge) and you’ve got a full lineup of “grown-up playtime” made in Dallas.
📍 3523 Puget St., West Dallas
⏰ Wed–Sun, 11 am – 11 pm
🍹 Try: the signature cocktails and locally-designed new mini-golf holes
Why we picked it: Because it’s the only place in Dallas where you can sink a putt, grab a drink, and support a business that gives back, donating to neighborhood schools and local nonprofits like Brother Bill’s.
