A Garland party bus connects this diverse city to every corner of the Metroplex. At just 15 miles from downtown Dallas, Garland is one of the closest eastern suburbs — making it an efficient and affordable pickup point for groups heading to Deep Ellum, Uptown, or even Arlington. And for groups exploring Garland itself, a party bus lets you hit multiple restaurants and destinations across the city without worrying about navigating unfamiliar neighborhoods or finding parking at popular spots.

Where to Eat Before Your Garland Party Bus

In the Firewheel area, dining is more mainstream but still excellent. Buca di Beppo serves family-style Italian that's perfect for birthday groups. Fish City Grill offers Gulf-style seafood with a Texas twist. Along the Lake Ray Hubbard waterfront, The Oar House is a laid-back spot for burgers and beers with lake views — a unique pre-party bus setting you won't find anywhere else in DFW. Downtown Garland along Main Street is undergoing a revival with new restaurants and coffee shops near the DART station.

Add your restaurant to the booking notes when you reserve your party bus.

Garland Nightlife & Bar Scene

Garland's nightlife is more neighborhood-pub and live-music than bottle-service-club, and that's exactly what makes it authentic. Intrinsic Smokehouse & Brewery on Main Street is a standout — craft beer brewed in-house, smoked meats, and live music on the patio on weekends. It's become the anchor of Garland's downtown revival. The Baked Bar serves loaded baked potatoes alongside cocktails in a quirky setting that groups love for its Instagram factor.

Downtown Garland's revitalization means new wine bars and taprooms are popping up near the DART station. Lakewood Landing-style neighborhood bars dot Garland's residential areas, offering cheap drinks and a welcoming local crowd. On the Firewheel side, Alamo Drafthouse offers a movie-and-drinks experience. Garland's real nightlife advantage is its proximity to bigger scenes — your party bus can reach Deep Ellum in 20 minutes, Richardson's CityLine in 10 minutes, or the Rockwall Harbor waterfront dining district in 15 minutes.

• Walnut Street dining: The Vietnamese restaurant strip is tight on parking, but your party bus driver will drop you at the door and park nearby while you eat — one of the biggest perks of booking with us.
• Lake Ray Hubbard access: Take Lakeview Parkway to reach waterfront restaurants faster than I-30. The lake views along the drive are a bonus.
