Mercury Chophouse – Arlington is about 1 mile and a 4-minute drive from Globe Life Field, on the ninth floor of the Brookhollow Two tower at 2221 E Lamar Blvd. You can see the ballpark from the window wall.

Timing a dinner around first pitch

Rangers weeknight games usually start around 7 PM. A starter, an entrée and dessert takes about 90 minutes to two hours at Mercury, and the drive plus ballpark parking on a game night is 30 to 45 minutes.

Mercury closes at 9 PM Monday through Thursday and 10 PM Friday and Saturday, so a full post-game dinner on a weeknight is tight; the dinner after a Rangers game page explains which nights work.

The view of the park

The dining room has a curved wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that looks south and west over the Entertainment District. Globe Life Field’s roof and AT&T Stadium sit in that view, with the Six Flags tower and Hurricane Harbor closer in along Lamar. Before a night game you can watch the district lots fill from your table. In April the sun sets around 7:55 PM and in June around 8:35 PM, so an early-season game dinner ends in daylight and a summer one ends near sunset.

Window tables cannot be guaranteed, but noting the game and the occasion on your reservation helps the host stand seat you well. If the table is one row back, the curve of the window wall still gives most seats a line to the ballpark, and the grand piano by the windows near the bar plays on select evenings.

Before you book

Reservations are on OpenTable or by phone at 817-381-1157, and game nights fill early, so book the day the Rangers schedule is published if the date matters. The dress code is business casual: unripped jeans and a collared shirt are fine, athletic wear and caps are not, and hats come off at the table. Tables of 6 or more are charged a 20% gratuity. For a group of 8 to 20 before the game, the Boardroom’s large screen can show the pregame broadcast; the dinner before a Rangers game page covers that in detail.

Can you see Globe Life Field from Mercury Chophouse?

Yes. The ninth-floor dining room's curved window wall looks over the Entertainment District, and Globe Life Field, AT&T Stadium, the Six Flags tower and Hurricane Harbor are all in view. Window tables cannot be guaranteed, so mention the game when you reserve and arrive on time.

How long does dinner take before a Rangers game?
