Day 1: Arrival & Brews
Kick off the weekend by checking into Hilton Garden Inn Dallas/Allen. Once you’re settled in, walk over to Armor Brewing Co. to sample craft beers brewed in house and enjoy the laid-back vibe. If you’re up for some brewery hopping, take a ride share for a short drive to TUPPS Brewery (McKinney) and Union Bear Brewing Co. (Plano). Just looking for some dinner? Armor Brewing Co. has a great menu from wings or burgers to chili or salmon. You can’t go wrong with grabbing dinner near the hotel and a few friendly rounds of darts.
Day 2: Sports, Adventure & BBQ
Start your morning with a dip in the pool or a few reps in the gym. Then it’s time for a round of golf at The Courses at Watters Creek, featuring pristine fairways and a challenge for every skill level. If it’s a rainy day you can still practice your swing with the golf simulator at Terrell Recreation Center! After working up an appetite, grab lunch at Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q. Their Texas Sized Beef Ribs are a weekend favorite – only available on Saturdays. Don’t sleep on Cochinita Pibil (smoke pork) tacos either. The afternoon calls for some high-speed excitement at K1 Speed Indoor Karting (Richardson). Race your buddies on the track and see who claims bragging rights. If you prefer something more outdoorsy, take a hike or go fishing at Bethany Lakes Park.
Wrap up the day by catching a game at Credit Union of Texas Event Center, home to the Allen Americans hockey team and other live sporting events. Celebrate a great day steps away from Credit Union of Texas Event Center at Kelly’s at the Village or The Smoking Lamp Cigar Lounge.
