If any company can lay claim to having completely disrupted how we consume entertainment media, it is Netflix. Launched in 1997 with mail-order DVD rentals, it subsequently evolved into streaming services in 2007, and quickly came to dominate what was an entirely new way for viewing content.
But now the company has stepped into a different pond with its Netflix House Dallas, which opened last December. One of only two in the nation (the other opened in suburban Philadelphia), it occupies the space vacated by Belk department store at the Galleria. It completely fills the two-story building, and features attractions based on the streamer’s iconic shows, along with arcade games, merchandise, and a cafe and bar with menu items inspired by its impressive catalog.
If cool merch is your thing, bring your credit card (the facility is cashless), because the Bridgerton, Outer Banks, Squid Game, and Stranger Things apparel, collectibles and accessories will have you drooling. I couldn’t resist…
