No fuss, fried foods, furniture that\u2019s probably older than a few people serving in Congress in a building that\u2019s been around since 1940. This bar has become just as much of a landmark as Dealy Plaza at this point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">The Landing is where you go to debunk the myth that Dallas residents are snobs. It\u2019s dark, laid-back, sufficiently noisy, and packed almost to the gills on weekend nights. There are TVs throughout the space, a pool table, and a decently sized patio. The bar feels like a sentient vintage leather jacket \u2014 worn in real good, with billions of stories it could tell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Unless you want to get snarled at, don\u2019t order it before midnight, but the jalape\u00f1o beer-battered corndog is legendary. It\u2019s not that good, but it\u2019s one of the things that makes the bar special, so it\u2019s imperative to try at least once.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Head next door to another iconic Dallas dive bar, Cosmo\u2019s, which has a space decorated with VHS tapes and serves Vietnamese food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lakewood Landing has a reputation for not-so-friendly staff, but that doesn\u2019t matter \u2014 it\u2019s the quintessential Dallas dive&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":363939,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,141333,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-363938","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-dining-report","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115512685886597215","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=363938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/363938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/363939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=363938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=363938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
