Why Arlington is the natural midpoint
Arlington is in Tarrant County, and I-30 runs straight through it: east to Dallas, west to Fort Worth. Highway 360 crosses I-30 a mile from the restaurant and runs north to DFW Airport and Grapevine, which is what makes the spot reachable from the northern suburbs as well as the two downtowns. The Lamar Blvd interchange on 360 is about a mile east of the tower.
The location is also why the district around it exists. AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Six Flags Over Texas and the Arlington Convention Center are all within about 1.5 miles, and the between Dallas and Fort Worth page lays out how each side of the metroplex gets here.
What you get for the drive
Mercury Chophouse – Arlington is on the top floor of the Brookhollow Two office tower, and its dining room has a curved wall of floor-to-ceiling windows over the district. Sunset lands on the room directly, since the glass faces west and southwest, around 7:35 PM in September and 5:25 PM in December. A glass-front wine wall stands at the entrance and a grand piano by the windows is played on select evenings.
The steak list runs from a 6 oz Center-Cut Filet at $62 to the 27 oz Wagyu Long Bone Ribeye at $210, with a Hand-Cut Ribeye at $75 and a Dry-Aged 36 oz Porterhouse at $175 between them. The wine list is deep in Pinot Noir, West Coast blends and Bordeaux, from $77 to $686 a bottle, with wines by the glass as well.
Booking a meet-in-the-middle dinner
Reserve through OpenTable or call 817-381-1157. If the Dallas side and the Fort Worth side arrive separately, book under one name and tell the host stand that the party is coming from two directions; the first to arrive can wait at the marble bar. Parties of six or more carry a 20% gratuity, and groups of 12 or more are presented one check.
For a business meeting in the middle, the Boardroom seats 8 to 20 at one table with an integrated AV system and a large screen, and semi-private seating takes up to 28. Weekday lunch runs from 11 AM, dinner ends at 9 PM Monday through Thursday and 10 PM Friday and Saturday, and the restaurant is closed on Sunday. The Fort Worth page and the DFW Airport page cover each approach in detail.
Parking when everyone drives
Because the restaurant is in an office tower rather than inside the stadium district, parking is in the tower’s own garage and outdoor lot. Guests park free in the garage or the outdoor lot, walk into the lobby and ride up to Suite 910 on the ninth floor. On game and concert nights the lots around the stadiums fill and close, but Mercury sits north of them on E Lamar Blvd, off the main event parking, so arriving from I-30 or 360 does not mean threading through the district core.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Mercury Chophouse from downtown Dallas?
About 20 miles, roughly 25 minutes west on I-30 outside rush hour and event traffic. Take the Ballpark Way exit or continue to Highway 360 and come south to E Lamar Blvd. The restaurant is on the ninth floor of the Brookhollow Two tower at 2221 E Lamar Blvd, Suite 910.
How far is it from downtown Fort Worth?
About 17 miles and 22 minutes east on I-30, which makes the Fort Worth side of a meet-in-the-middle dinner slightly shorter than the Dallas side. From the freeway it is about a mile north to the tower on E Lamar Blvd, just past the stadium district.
Is the restaurant close to DFW Airport for someone flying in?
Yes. DFW Airport is about 12 miles north, 15 to 20 minutes down Highway 360 to the Lamar Blvd exit. That makes Mercury a practical dinner for a group where one person is landing and the rest are driving from Dallas or Fort Worth.
What time should a Dallas group leave for a 7 PM reservation?
Allow about 40 minutes on a weeknight, which covers the 25-minute drive plus parking and the ride up to the ninth floor. On a night with a Cowboys, Rangers or concert crowd in the district, leave earlier and expect the last mile on E Lamar Blvd to be slower than the freeway.
Where do we park if everyone drives separately?
In the garage or the outdoor lot at the Brookhollow Two office tower, then ride up from the lobby to Suite 910. The garage and outdoor lot are at the door. The tower sits north of the stadium lots, so game-night parking closures in the district do not affect it.
Is there a private room for a meeting between Dallas and Fort Worth offices?
Yes. The Boardroom seats 8 to 20 at a single long table, with a fully integrated AV system, a large screen and windows over the district. Semi-private options reach 28. Parties of 10 or more meet a food and beverage minimum quoted in the proposal, and the room is one check.
