We\u2019ve done a little bit of the work for you and compiled some popular group dining options in DFW.<\/p>\n

The Rustic<\/h3>\n

Address<\/strong>: 3656 Howell St, Dallas, TX 75204
\nPhone<\/strong>: (214) 730-0596
\nGood for<\/strong>: large corporate parties, wedding rehearsal dinners, and non-profit events<\/p>\n

The Rustic offers three private dining spaces for group events, including a spacious backyard patio. The popular Uptown Dallas eatery also hosts free live music events throughout the week on their spacious outdoor stage. Some of The Rustic\u2019s best bites are the brisket-topped Rustic burger, cactus fritters, molasses-brined quail, and decadent peanut butter pie for dessert. Parties of 20 or more guests should make an inquiry<\/a> in advance to organize an event space or private dining option.<\/p>\n

Charter bus rental parking<\/strong>: The Rustic does have its own parking lots but these can quickly become packed during live music nights. Oversized vehicles will likely need to park on the street, but you can confirm parking options when you reserve your event. Street parking is available along Howell Street.<\/p>\n

The Porch<\/h3>\n

Address<\/strong>: 2912 N Henderson Ave Dallas, TX 75206

Outdoor tables are relatively small, but the restaurant can work with you to accommodate your group.<\/p>\n

Charter bus rental parking<\/strong>: Several parking lots can be found off of Miller Avenue and Willis Avenue. These lots may be able to fit minibuses but likely won\u2019t be able to accommodate full-sized charter buses, so you\u2019ll have to organize off-site or street parking.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning a lunch or dinner, guests have raved about the bone marrow burger, Texas-style pho, and bourbon maple meatballs.<\/p>\n

Charter bus rental parking<\/strong>: The restaurant shares a parking lot with a few other businesses and parking may get tough during brunch. Consider organizing off-site parking at a public lot or along the street.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chelsea Corner<\/h3>\n

Address<\/strong>: 4830 McKinney Ave, Dallas, TX 75205<\/p>\n

Phone<\/strong>: (469) 726-2211<\/p>\n

Charter bus rental parking<\/strong>: Parking is very limited and most guests utilize complimentary valet services or street park in the area.

Tracy Street is usually the least crowded option.<\/p>\n

Braindead Brewing<\/h3>\n

Address<\/strong>: 2625 Main St, Dallas, TX 75226<\/p>\n

Phone<\/strong>: (214) 749-0600<\/p>\n

Charter bus rental parking<\/strong>: A paid public parking lot is located right next door to the brewery. These public lots usually can\u2019t accommodate oversize vehicles, so finding parking on Main Street or nearby roads may be your best bet when traveling by charter bus rental. Keep in mind, roads in Deep Ellum are often quite crowded and your driver may need to park farther away.<\/p>\n

Jaxon Texas Kitchen and Beer Garden<\/h3>\n

Jaxon Texas Kitchen offers a classy yet relaxed atmosphere for groups who may want a fancy ambiance for an event.

They proudly offer local craft beers on draft and craft cocktails like specialty margaritas.<\/p>\n

Charter bus rental parking<\/strong>: Parking in Downtown Dallas can be a hassle. Guests traveling in personal vehicles can park in the AT&T Discovery District parking garage at 1212 Jackson Street. Oversize vehicles like charter buses and minibuses won\u2019t fit in this garage though. So you\u2019ll have to organize parking in a private lot.<\/p>\n
