Cannon's Corner | Irish Pub — Kessler Park
Oak Cliff's own neighborhood Irish pub, Cannon's Corner, was founded in 2019 by a Dublin native inside a charming Tudor-style building dating back to 1922. The vibe is exactly what you'd want from an Irish pub – warm and welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you'll strike up a conversation with a stranger and leave as friends - which makes it the perfect spot!
They pour over 25 beers on tap and stock more than 200 Irish whiskeys and scotches, so drinks are covered. And don't sleep on the food — their vegan options like the Shepherd's Pie are fan favorites!

Jaquval Brewing Co. | Nanobrewery & Gastropub — Bishop Arts
If you want craft beer, elevated bar food, and a laid-back neighborhood feel all in one place, Jaquval is your spot. This Bishop Arts nanobrewery crafts its own European-style beers under Master Brewer Raelle Guerrero, and pairs them with a chef-driven menu that goes well beyond typical bar food. The location gives it a neighborhood feel that keeps things relaxed even when it's busy.

Sportsbook Bar & Grill | Sports Bar — Bishop Arts
Sometimes you just want to be in a room full of people who care as much as you do. Sportsbook is the only dedicated sports bar in Bishop Arts, and on a big match day that distinction matters. Big screens, loud reactions, and a crowd that's genuinely into it - it checks every box. If the atmosphere is the point, this is where to go.

La Comida | Mexican Restaurant — Oak Cliff
La Comida has a good story behind it: two brothers from the Yucatan region of Mexico who started as bussers and eventually built their own place — and that passion shows in everything they do. Word is the owners are fired up for the Soccer Cup, so expect the whole restaurant to be buzzing with energy on match days. Come for the authentic food and cocktails, stay for the atmosphere.
This tournament only comes around every four years, and this one is going to hit different with matches being played right here in Dallas. As a Skyline at Kessler resident, you don't have to go far to find your people! Step outside, find your corner of the neighborhood, and enjoy the tournament in one of the best places in Dallas to experience it.
