http://www.the-aardvark.com Located around the corner from Texas Christian University, it's no surprise this rock club has Greek appeal. But housed in the same historic strip that was home to The Hop and Rail, it books the best locals in the Golden Triangle, plus the occasional road show. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Located on the southeast corner of Denton's Historic Courthouse Square, The Abbey Inn is one of Little D's most popular English pubs. And in keeping with a traditional English pub theme, the beer tap is crammed with imported ales and lagers. Not quite so authentically British is their serving temperature: a frosty 29 degrees. Judging by the beer selection and decor, it's clear that the owners have put a lot of thought into the details of the place, including antique 19th Century church pews. Looking for a brunch spot? Head to Abbey Inn for $2 mimosas on Sundays. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
The Denton square is full of spots tailored to meet the boozing needs of college kids at the nearby University of North Texas campus. The Abby Underground is no exception, but it does offer a different look and feel thanks to its – hence the name – underground location. There’s plenty of room to move around, and pool tables on which to pass the time if you’re not ordering shots at the wide wooden bar located in the adjacent room. The green paint on the walls serves a dual purpose, attracting students with the University’s colors and livening up this otherwise dark basement watering hole.

http://www.absinthelounge.net Just south of downtown Dallas, Absinthe Lounge is one of several watering hole options. But there's something delightfully sinister about Absinthe. For one, the drink of the same name only recently became legal in the United States, and Absinthe Lounge takes great pride in the way it serves it. There's a whole ritual involved: the pour, melting the sugar, and adding the water from a specialized dispensary that looks, much like the rest of the bar, like it came from 19th century France. The lighting is low and smoky, which may or may not come from the cigars sold behind the bar. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.acrossthestreetbar.com The Across the Street Bar was named for its location on SMU Boulevard on the other side of Central Expressway from Southern Methodist University, and the auto-garage-turned-bar-and-venue does see its fair share of college students. But it also draws folks from the surrounding area. This Upper Greenville no-frills bar, venue and billiards parlor is in a great location that's seen a recent facelift with several new lofts, restaurants and businesses moving into the area. And, like its sister bar, SMU Boulevard Ice House, Across the Street Bar is known for its cheap pitchers of draft beer. The bar regularly features local musicians and acts on its stage, and for more than 15 years the bar has hosted drum jams on Wednesday nights. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.ad-libs.com Improvisational comedy competition troupe bases its award-winning show on a series of improvisational scenes, skits and professional comedians. Reservations suggested. Must be at least 19 years. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.adairssaloon.com If you've never met a cowboy who could give you a pretty good lesson in punk-rock history, that problem can be quickly resolved at Adair's Saloon in Deep Ellum. The place combines country music with live bands almost every night of the week, with an aesthetic that goes back to Deep Ellum's punk era of the 1980s and 1990s. The venue's raw wooden walls are covered with stickers, and the floor is well-worn from late-night shuffles and line dances. And if you work up a hunger while you're there, no need to go anywhere else. Adair's has one of the best burgers in town. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.improv.com The premier comedy club of the Dallas area, the Addison Improv brings in national comedians, local comics and comedy troupes alike. The dining room setup gives an intimate vibe to the place. During a show in 2009, comic Richard Lewis, claiming to have co-founded the comedy club chain, nearly wiggled loose one of the metal letters from the word "Improv" behind the stage while mocking how cheap he thought the club looked. Cheap or not, where else are you going to witness moments like that? Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.addisonpointbar.net It's the classic Addison burger dive for sports, great food and cheap beer. Since 1969, the well-worn tables and horseshoe bar have drawn the older regulars together with the younger college kids, where on two-dollar burger Monday nights, a bison burger and pitcher of beer run less than ten bucks. Also grilling up turkey burgers, sandwiches and salads for the lighter eaters, the menu draws a horde, as do budget-friendly shot specials on weekends. A game room partitioned in the corner competes with karaoke Thursday through Sunday nights. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.theaftermidnightclub.com Private club. Membership required. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.alexandres.com This popular neighborhood bar and live music venue is located in a busy strip shopping mall in Oak Lawn, sandwiched between a Chinese restaurant and a doughnut shop, just a few doors down from a convenience store and a novelty sex shop. So the sidewalk patio out front makes for an interesting perch for late-night people-watching. Most of the art on the walls features framed record albums by artists ranging from Elton John to Nancy Sinatra, and cozy two-person booths make for a great place for an intimate conversation, but the real appeal of the place seems to be the interaction between Alexandre's bartenders and the regulars at the full bar, which features all-day happy hours on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, as well as $3 Long Island iced teas all-day every day. Plus, the bar features live music every night but Monday. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.theallenwickerspub.com The noble sport of soccer -- or "football" for those who actually watch it -- is notoriously ignored by most of the U.S. Not at The Allen Wickers Public House, though. Pub and soccer décor cover the walls. This Plano pub hosts soccer events of every kind, and is the official watch house for the FC Dallas Inferno team. Along with sports, the bar serves traditional pub grub -- that is, if it were run through a Southern comfort grinder. Waitstaff is particularly proud of its meatloaf/mashed potato sandwich. Just don't root against the Inferno. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
The area in downtown Dallas west of Central Expressway — across the freeway from Deep Ellum — is a gray area between commerce and nightlife. While the two don’t exactly go together, the dance clubs and corporate highrises seem to coexist here. One good example is Allure, a two-story dance club built into a 100-year old building on Elm Street. From the outside, the building looks like a historical landmark, but on the inside it’s a sleek club with a big dance floor and neon laser lights. The big room upstairs, painted all white, is where ?uestlove from The Roots famously DJed a set for a packed house. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.starwoodhotels.com/alofthotels/index.html The makers of the giant W Hotel had the idea to make Aloft, a smaller boutique-style hotel with the jet-setter crowd in mind. Judging by the look of the place, they spared no expense-and that includes their WXYZ bar. Typically, hotel bars are dark, generic nooks in the lobby, but at Aloft, the bar is the lobby. Giant bay windows light large modern couches, and birch wood lines the corners of the bar as well as the ceiling. At night, the windows reflect the beautiful people gathered around the bar's fireplace, located in the center of the room. Aloft combines luxury and simplicity, making the WXYZ bar both modern and comfortable. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.ampmdallas.com AMPM (in the Mosaic building) promises "Dallas' only ultra urban luxury dining experience," which one presumes means that it's the only place in the city where you can enjoy the fine people-watching of an ultra-lounge as well as get a bite to eat. A visit to the restaurant and nightclub reveals that yes, there were plenty of people who appear to spend a disproportionate amount of time at the gym, in the tanning booth and at body-waxing salons...along with their girlfriends. But even people those without an Affliction credit card would enjoy the food, courtesy former N9NE chef Tommy Simpson. Bites include tuna tartare on sesame crackers; watermelon and feta wrapped in a cucumber sliver; and mango-carrot spring rolls with jicama. A row of musician portraits including the likes of Jimi Hendrix--people who would probably never set foot in the place, living or not--greets you as you enter. The place is at once minimal and modern, with smooth black granite surfaces and a polished concrete floor and what has to be the biggest collection of mirrored disco balls in the city.

http://www.theamsterdambar.com The Amsterdam Bar is by far one of the coolest bars in town. It's set up like a European-style bar, with a heavy German and Belgian beer menu. There is vintage fat-tire bicycle that hangs above the entrance. The huge backyard is perfect to sit out and catch the occasional band on warm summer nights.

http://www.andiamogrill.com For more than two decades, this Addison restaurant has been getting saucy (and romantic) with its brand of moderately upscale Italian cuisine. Begin the meal with a plate of bruschetta and move on to Conghiglie al Forno (clams baked with herbs, pecorino and garlic butter) before digging in to any number of pasta, veal or chicken dishes. Some options, like the Capellini Basilico (angel hair pasta with fresh tomato sauce and basil) are light. Others, like Tortellini Bolognese, are substantial. Signature items include many dishes involving the restaurant's name, among them Sole Andiamo and Veal Andiamo. After eating all that and ordering from the healthy wine list, it's doubtful anyone will be able to go anywhere, even if Andiamo means "let's go" in Italian.

http://www.andyslivemusic.com A longtime staple of the Denton bar scene and located on the downtown square, Andy's smokey interior is one of the best places to catch some of the many emerging bands in North Texas. Local acts regularly test new material on a small audience, and occasionally national acts pass through. Other than a stage and a bar, Andy's offers little else in the way of amenities. A few chairs and cocktail tables are scattered around toward the back, as well as a very ramshackle-looking balcony where the sound man mixes during the bands' sets.

http://www.angrydog.com We're reluctant to use the phrase "fancy dive," but the Angry Dog is dark with long tables, mismatched chairs and a wooden bar that runs almost the length of the restaurant. The name comes from its specialty--an all-beef hot dog with a choice of toppings. But the burger (which you can build yourself with a menu of extras) and the chicken-fried chicken sandwich are good, too. You'll find out after only a few bites why we've heaped so many awards on them over the years. You can wash down each bite with one of their 80-plus beers or with anything from their full bar. The Angry Dog also serves its own ice tea, which is a combination of raspberry and regular teas blended locally. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Anvil-Pub-Deep-Ellum/129514830415751 For many years, popular dining and drinking areas of Dallas, from Uptown to Greenville Avenue have had their share of English-style public houses. But, alas, Deep Ellum has never been able to draw a pub within its midst. That is, until Anvil Pub opened in mid- November 2010. Which may explain why -- even on the first weekend of its opening -- the place already had folks from the Deep Ellum neighborhood proclaiming themselves as "regulars." That first weekend, Anvil Pub still smelled of Home Depot, which, coincidentally, is where the family who own and operate the pub bought the supplies needed to build Anvil from the floor up. "Everything but the barstools, the chairs and the metal table bases," came from there, owner Josh Bridges said, while pouring a beer behind the long, dark wood bar. The grease-free "green" kitchen cranks out pub grub ranging from pizzas and wings to "all-natural" burgers from the menu, which boasts lots of vegetarian options.
