    There's a celebration of all things watermelon this week.

    August starts with two chances to detox and retox: there's poolside yoga paired with margaritas and a boxing class paired with low-carb beer. After all that extra sweating this week, cool off with a watermelon party by week’s end.

    Wednesday, August 2

    Movement Live by Michelob Ultra at American Airlines Center
    Combine beer with a boxing-based workout during this complimentary group fitness class and dance party hosted by Michelob Ultra. Participants will take place in a 45-minute shadow boxing and strength workout followed by a party with DJ dance music and Michelob Ultra. The multi-city workout tour – which has already made stops in Charlotte, Atlanta, and Chicago – is in partnership with Rumble Boxing and Live Nation. Doors open at 6 pm and the workout starts at 6:30 pm.

    Thursday, August 3

    National IPA Day at Four Corners Brewing Co.
    It’s National IPA Day and the independent Dallas brewery will celebrate with beer specials on the super cheap. All IPAs will be $5 a pint from 3-11 pm both Thursday and Friday. The lineup includes Hace Frío cold IPA (7.3% ABV), El Chingón American IPA (7.3% ABV), La Chingona double IPA (9% ABV), Chingo Haze New England IPA (6.7% ABV), and Imperial Hazy double New England IPA (8% ABV). All to-go cans of IPA will also be 20 percent off. Don’t miss Four Corners’ lively game of Loteria (aka Mexican bingo) on Thursday, too.

    The Snider Plaza steakhouse will host a four-course whiskey pairing dinner featuring Michter’s Distillery. Guests will indulge in seared scallops, miso corn soup with bacon bourbon jam, espresso-rubbed Wagyu strip loin, and peach cobbler with whiskey caramel sauce. All courses will be paired with straight whiskey pours. Dinner is $175, plus tax and gratuity, and starts at 7 pm with an Old Fashioned cocktail.

    Jamaican Independence Day Celebration at The Island Spot
    Relish in Jamaican culture and cuisine during this celebration at Carrolton’s authentic Jamaican restaurant, The Island Spot. There’ll be a live reggae band from 7-10 pm and $6 rum punch to wash down dishes like fried plantains, jerk wings, curry goat, brown stew chicken, and braised oxtails. Friday also means it’s hookah night.

    Saturday, August 5

    The fifth annual event will feature everything watermelon, including complimentary slices, a watermelon eating contest, and even photos with the 2023 Watermelon Queen.

But there’s more. All participants will also be treated to a complimentary skin refresh from HeyDey Skincare and a chance to shop The Eclectic Chain permanent jewelry pop-up. Class begins at 10:30 am.

    Monday, August 7

    Wine Night at Oddfellows

    Dudley's Sports Grill to open on Dallas' hot-hot Henderson Avenue

    A new sports bar is joining the mix on Dallas' hot-hot Henderson Avenue: Called Dudley’s Sports Grill, it'll open at 2927 N. Henderson Ave., in the space previously occupied by Smithy, a gastropub that closed in June after seven years.

    According to a spokesperson, Dudley's will open at the end of the summer — "we're only making a few cosmetic changes," the spokesperson says.

    Dudley’s is the brainchild of three Dallas bar veterans — Gabriel Rhodes and Jordan Carson (Christie’s), and Patrick Gorman (Ill Minster Pub). The trio debuted the concept in 2024, when they opened the first location in Rockwall.

    The bar is named after Carson’s grandfather, Floyd Dudley Hitt, who owned land in Rockwall and Royse City. Carson and Rhodes graduated from Rockwall High School in 2006 before coming to Dallas for other restaurant ventures — including working at Christies while it was still in Uptown. (It closed in 2020, then Carson partnered with Ashton Christie to reopen it on Greenville Avenue.)

    Their menu — devised by Dallas chef Eric Freidline, winner of CultureMap's 2019 Tastemaker Awards for Rising Star Chef — is elevated with a barbecue twist, with dishes like queso made with aged white cheddar, thick-cut bacon with fig glaze, brisket flatbread, and brisket grilled cheese.

    Cocktails include the mule served in a boot-shaped glass, and an old fashioned garnished with cinnamon and cloves. Dudley’s also boasts a variety of beers on tap, as well as an assortment of margaritas, all of which are served in ice-cold schooners.

    Dudley’s prides itself in maintaining an unpretentious ambiance, a place where regulars and newcomers alike feel comfortable and welcome — something they thought would work on Henderson Avenue.
