A New Kind Of Tee Time
Miniature Golf And Craft Cocktails Await In Dallas.
New adventures that can be accomplished while maintaining social distancing are difficult to find. But thanks to Another Round, which opened in June in Dallas, it just got a little easier.
This spacious venue, adjacent to Sylvan Thirty, boasts 12 miniature golf holes, each beautifully designed to offer photo-ready backdrops for those looking for their next selfie destination. Founders Alicia and Kendall Spence decked out the entertainment area with an Oak Cliff Country Club theme, an homage to their beloved neighborhood.
“After traveling to the best miniature golf venues across the country, we have drawn inspiration from the best elements of each to bring an elevated indoor version to Oak Cliff,” Kendall says.
Another Round plans to update the theme each year with new installments, but the current concept balances some of the whimsy found throughout the world’s best mini golf courses while also representing the founders’ stomping grounds.
“Mini golf was always a fun activity we enjoyed on vacation, but we realized when we got home we were missing a destination near us to have a similar experience,” Kendall says.
After guests make a tee time online, they will be able to walk in and enjoy a fun outing thanks to Another Round’s safety precautions.
The venue’s floor plan allows for distancing between parties, limited to four people per weekend reservation; QR codes will allow for online menu access as well as bill pay; and putters and golf balls, as well as other sharable items, are wiped with sanitizer per use, so guests can come in and focus on having fun.
Stop by the centrally located bar and grab a few themed craft cocktails, like the Birdie made with Deep Eddy Vodka, Pamplemousse, lemon, lavender and bubbles or the Green Jacket made with Ford’s Gin, Canton ginger, basil, lime and black pepper, before making your way to the first hole. But with other signature options like the Caddie made with Lunazul Blanco, passion fruit habanero puree, cilantro and lime and Hole In One made with Jack Rye, cardamom, angostura and orange oils, you’re sure to come back for another round.
The bar also offers draft brews like Lakewood Brewing Co.’s Please ‘N’ Thank You, Peticolas’ Velvet Hammer and Manhattan Project’s Necessary Evil. Those interested in another buzz can enjoy Kiestwood’s iced coffee, sourced from Oak Cliff favorite Peaberry Coffee.
That’s not the only local name you’ll find on the menu. Another Round offers finger foods from a neighborhood favorite, Cooper’s Meat Market. Those familiar with the meat market and steakhouse know what to expect from the gourmet brand. But one bite into its wagyu beef hot dog should also do the trick.
Kids will love the chophouse sliders, ground chuck mixed with smoked brisket topped with steak sauce, hardwood smoked bacon and white cheddar cheese, while adults can revel in the bacon-wrapped brisket jalapeno poppers and crudite of vegetables with green goddess dressing.
For a fresher take on a comfort food favorite, try the fresh mozzarella and tomato panini, made with herb pesto. But the cheesy delights don’t stop there; Cooper’s chips and queso and charcuterie are sure to be crowd pleasers.
Guests comfortable with sharing the space can reserve a tee time on a weekend. But for those more timid to try it out, Another Round offers Quaran-Tee-Times Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. These tee times allow guests to reserve the entire course for an hour and a half for up to 14 people, perfect for those with a quarantine circle hungry for some fun.
