    1000 Ballpark Way, Arlington, TX 76011 (map)

    Combine the favorite pastimes and treats of many fathers all in one outing: peanuts, beer, baseball and male bonding. Check out the Legends Museum and Learning Center while you're there for an interactive and educational look into the history of the game. And for the ultimate cheesy memento, get a picture of you and your dad on a coffee mug or calendar.

    2501 Bass Pro Dr, Grapevine, TX 76051 (map)

    If your pops' idea of fun is catching his own dinner from a freshwater stream, then he'll love this store. Wear comfortable shoes and explore the expansive terrain of fishing, camping, hunting and golf gear and goodies. If you really want to show how much you love him, participate in a workshops to learn how to fly fish or improve that backswing. Oh, the things we do for dear old dad.

  3. 3 3.5 Star Rating: Average Bob's Steak & Chop House - Dallas
    Read Reviews

    4300 Lemmon Ave, Dallas, TX 75219 (map)

    For those of you who grew up like JR Ewing, it doesn't get more dad than steak and potatoes, cigars and scotch. Make a reservation at this Lemmon Avenue favorite and enjoy an energetic but laid back vibe with your plate of Prime Steak and the famous oversized carrots.

  4. 4 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Face Salon Spa Retreat For Men
    Read Reviews

    3000 Blackburn St, Dallas, TX 75204 (map)

    Dad doesn't have to be a metrosexual--or whatever term they're using for a well-groomed man these days--to enjoy a day of pampering. In fact, he could probably use it for those gnarly cuticles (you know who you are). This salon is designed especially for guys who've neglected their aesthetics. With free Wi-fi and complimentary beer, what dad wouldn't start begging for days like this?

  5. 5 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended The Boardroom
    Read Reviews

    2990 Olive St, Dallas, TX 75219 (map)

    If Dad is a die-hard sports and food fan, he'll love this Victory Park restaurant and lounge, where seating is uber comfortable and promises a great view of one or multiple games. A Peroni beer and giant bison chili nachos will make his day a home run, and if you can score game tickets to the American Airlines Center next door, even better.

  6. 6 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Wild About Harry's

    Throw on your flip flops and have a no-fuss Father's Day at this McKinney Avenue hit. Hot dogs and custard set the tone for an easy all American celebration of your dad. He can customize his dog with a huge list of fixins and follow up with his favorite custard flavor and toppings. Take a picture with the giant, oversized hot dog outside to remember this wiener of a day.
