With somewhat classier surroundings than your average strip club, Cabaret Royale caters to a more discerning clientele -- sort of. While high rollers can buy a wristband and ascend the fancy staircase up to the VIP area (home to the infamous “Champagne Room”), mere mortals can stay downstairs, where the beer is just as cold, the cushy high-backed chairs are just as comfortable and the cocktail waitresses prance around in thong bodysuits. The best thing about Cabaret Royale, though, is the diversity of the ladies: tall, short, thin, curvy, redhead, blonde, white, brown, black, tattoos, piercings -- they have it all. And if all that dollar-bill tossing and canoodling has got you working up an appetite, there’s a chef on hand to prepare everything from pasta to steak, not to mention the breakfast buffet that kicks off at 2 a.m. Legs and eggs, indeed.

A handful of roof-mounted Smokeeters ensure this Egyptian-theme hookah lounge never gets too smoke-filled. A popular after-class hangout, Cairo is located on Campbell Road within walking distance of The University of Texas at Dallas (and a Fuzzy's Taco Shop). The place offers plenty of comfy seating, free Wi-Fi and various special concoctions to drink. Sheer brightly colored curtains cover the windows, and colorful murals depicting various Egyptian imagery cover every wall (mostly pharaohs, sphinxes and the like). For passing time while puffing, the place offers chess, checkers and other board games, a few flatscreen TVs and one large projection screen. Monday through Friday from 3:30 to 7 p.m., Cairo's happy hour offers folks $9.99 Starbuzz specials. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.calaiswinery.com From this shop, rustic with faded brick, a concrete floor and an earth-tone color scheme, owner Benjamin Calais has been releasing his small-batch wines since October 2008. Customers come for the wine tastings held Wednesdays through Sundays. The tastings include not only the winery's stock but also international selections, with themed tastings held every weekend. While the establishment doesn't have a kitchen, patrons are more than welcome to order from nearby restaurants or to bring their own dishes to be paired with Calais' selection. Private and corporate events are often held here, but even if the spot isn't right for your shindig, you might very well find yourself leaving this charming place with a membership to the Wine Club. For $29.95, members receive two bottles of Calais wine every two months. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Open daily from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. and located in a shopping plaza just two miles east of Central Expressway on Belt Line Road, Callisto is, according to one of its long-time bartenders, "equal parts dance club, neighborhood pub and sports bar -- depending on the time of day or event." In the afternoon and early evenings, the place attracts folks from the area with its happy hour specials. After 11 p.m. most nights, DJs spinning a mix of Top 40 hits, hip hop and dance tracks turn Callisto into a full-on dance club. The bar hosts pool, darts and poker tournaments, and in addition to nearly a dozen dartboards and plenty of pool tables, Callisto also has several foosball tables.

http://www.cameodallas.com Dazzling crystal chandeliers, leather booth seating and modern lighting all come together to make this popular club an ideal location for a long night out or a late-night rendezvous. Cameo is located a few steps off Main Street, and has the feel of a posh, underground club. Not to mention, the dance floor is made of plexiglass with water underneath, which can't even be seen during peak hours due to all the people packed onto it. Cameo is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. and offers table reservations and bottle service. While the club is under the same ownership as Mantus and Vice, it has its own unique feel. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.candleroomdallas.com What will you find inside this members-only Henderson-area hangout? Pretty people pounding equally pretty (if pricey) cocktails and having a blast on the dance floor. The dress code is strictly enforced, so leave the flip-flops and football jersey at home. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.capital-bar.com For its young professionals and college crowd, Capital Bar offers a chic, upscale vibe. Candle-lit tables inside abut the black stone bar top, with happy hour all day Sunday through Wednesday. A covered rooftop lounge area with an additional bar overlooks a huge outdoor stage and seating area. Weekends you can see live DJs and bands, and local musicians get into the spotlight every Tuesday. Inside, a baby stage with projector screen occupies a smaller room off the main space, executed with soft earth-tone décor accented with corrugated metal and wood. For the early crowd looking for a quiet spot to sit out rush hour traffic, Capital Bar offers drink specials that last until 8 p.m. each Thursday through Saturday.

http://www.capitolpubdallas.com With an extensive draft and bottled beer selection, dartboards and dark wood, this watering hole has must-stop written all over it. This is further proven by the barhopping mobs along the stretch of Henderson on which Capitol is located. Lunch is served Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning at 11 a.m. There is a Sunday brunch option. The rest of the week, the restaurant and bar opens at 4 p.m., offering its full menu. The choices include everything from cheese plates and salads to pizzas and burgers, like the Capitol (sirloin burger with hickory smoked bacon, caramelized onion and Dijon mustard with Maytag blue or Cotswold cheeses). House-made onion rings and hand-cut fries come with three dipping sauces, basil mayo, blue cheese and caramelized shallot dip and curry sauce. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.myspace.com/caveslounge There's nothing pretentious about it: Caves Lounge is comfortable, with a great jukebox and a huge back patio. It's a college hangout, just across the road from the University of Texas at Arlington. Inside, it feels like a weird vintage shop, covered in eclectic art and curtained in red velvet. Thursday nights are packed for karaoke, and a good mix of domestic and international beers are on various specials during the week. The television in the zebra-print fireplace broadcasts a cozy fire, and another over the bar houses the aquarium. In the back, picnic-style benches and lots of table space offer a good spot to share a Squatter, the lounge's version of the beer pitcher. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.thecellar22.com In recent years, a handful of more adult-oriented places have cropped up in Denton. (Probably because so many University of North Texas students hang around after graduation.) Cellar 22 is one of them. Eschewing the cheap-beer college bar scene of the nearby Denton Square, Cellar 22 is a wine and cigar bar that offers a selection of close to 100 wines. In the front room, patrons can sample wine at the small wine bar or on cocktail tables. And in a back ventilated smoking room, you can light up a selection from the walk-in humidor.

http://www.thecellar220.com Quietly, over the Super Bowl weekend, The Cellar Restaurant & Bar opened in the space that had been previously occupied by Texas Bar & Grill. But instead of keeping with the previous bar's wood-grain Americana style, The Cellar has renovated the space with a sleeker look. Aimed squarely at the Las Colinas dweller who wants to go to a proper club without driving to downtown, the bar's long, cavernous space is filled with all the staples of area ultra-lounges. Neon lights, sleek stone floor, shiny marble bar and a strict non-smoking policy keep the place in step with Dallas hotspots. If the non-smoking policy is a deal breaker, there's plenty of room to light up on the patio, which sits right next to the Las Colinas canal. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
One of Fort Worth's oldest and most aptly named dives, The Cellar is full of character. A walk through the narrow entrance, then down a dark, crooked stairway opens up to a low-lit den with a U-shaped bar. The low-hanging ceiling, held up by walls made of huge stones, gives it a warm basement feel. There's nothing contrived about The Cellar's whimsy, and to say the place has aged gracefully wouldn't be true. But all the imperfections serve as part of The Cellar's charm, which is probably the reason it's a hangout for college kids-that, and the fact that it's near Texas Christian University. It's also popular with musicians playing at the neighboring Aardvark and Moon Bar. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.champps.com This spot in Addison may as well be a neighborhood pub with its strong following of regulars and neighborhood folks, as well as folks from Dallas avoiding the smoking ban. (There's a non-smoking section as well.) Lots of food and drink specials keep folks coming back, like half-priced burgers on Mondays. Daily happy hours offer half-off appetizers like buffalo chicken or Kobe beef sliders, "mile-high" nachos or spinach and artichoke dip. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.champps.com Champps, located in Irving's Las Colinas business district, is the closest thing you'll find to a neighborhood bar in the West Dallas suburb. The bar has a well-worn atmosphere, but the glossy menus, complete with photographs, keep it on par with Chili's. The place is huge, with high ceilings and projection screens that stretch all the way to the top. Games from multiple cities are on at all times, probably because of the bar's proximity to DFW Airport and several nearby hotels. In addition to its impressive drink list, the food menu has more than just pub grub, including everything from a New York strip to wings. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.chanthaidallas.com Since 2004, this North Oak Cliff Thai food establishment has provided guests a relaxed dining experience with a nightclub ambience. It"s sleek and hip befitting this Bishop Arts District gay-friendly spot. Happy hour (4-7 p.m.) attracts freeloaders. It"s then when guests are offered free appetizers along with bottom-barrel drink specials. The menu reads like an All-Star roster of the Southeast Asian country"s culinary offerings. There is panang curry and pad Thai. There are summer rolls filled with shrimp and crab and pineapple fried rice. There are also the chef"s specials chicken or beef citrus, fried meat swimming in an orange sauce speckled with orange zest. Of course, the kitchen has some more exotic specialties, all of which use seafood to spice up your meal. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.charliepalmer.com With installments in New York, Las Vegas, Sonoma, D.C. and Reno, among other locales, chef Charlie Palmer's Dallas increment sits in the Joule Urban Resort in a rehabilitated Main Street building, in all of its Texas handsome, breezy-themed glory. So it at least has an old Dallas pedigree. Chew on the house-cured artisan salumi or the simply prepared vegetables dripping in brown butter without reservation. Savor seared foie gras or spoon bone marrow flan over a dry-aged sirloin. Dine on lentil-crusted monkfish or crisped arctic char. Or duck. The room glows like phosphorescent melted butter. Propellers turn overhead-an ode to Texas as big as a wind energy blowhard. Fiddle with the electronic wine list tablet and combine bottles from regions or grape varieties. Buy your bottles in the New Vintage retail shop to remember your electronically selected sips. No restaurant has brought so much to such a space of concentrated stylishness-doubly good that it's in the on-again, resuscitating downtown core. This is civic boosterism that hits the spot, boosted as it were from a foreigner. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
In an all but abandoned shopping center near the intersection of Harry Hines and Mockingbird in West Dallas, Charlie's Sports Bar, a no-funny-business dive, serves up cheap bar food and even cheaper drinks. Charlie's has occupied its corner for more than 30 years, and the interior décor, a mix between something from the set of Miami Vice and honky-tonk, hasn't changed much since it opened. The eclectic vibe is probably a reflection of the customers, who come from the nearby Love Field Airport and several neighboring hotels. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Chasers deals in Southern pride and novelty bumper stickers. Live country and classic rock five nights a week may hit the spot when giant Jenga, darts, foosball, pool, slots and shuffleboard just aren't enough. Biker photos line the bar and a dance pole crowns the center of the dance floor. Add a weekly happy hour and service industry Monday, occasional swap meets and support of local bike runs, and anyone may find themselves in the mood to buy the house a round. Plus, if you are so inclined, the tenders ring a big red bell just for you. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.thechatroompub.com This Fort Worth bar had built a devoted clientele of regulars in more than five years as a Fairmount-area hangout until musician Brad Hensarling took over ownership from Jon Carney during a dark period in Fort Worth's music history, as the Wreck Room and the Black Dog Tavern were shutting their doors, thanks to massive redevelopment projects in the Seventh Street area. Hensarling's musician friends needed a place to play. Turns out, the Oriental rug along the bar's painting-festooned back wall does quite nicely as an improvised stage. Bartender Ben Rogers works with The Roman Seasonal to book acts and runs sound during the shows. Both see The Chat Room as part of a larger neighborhood effort to keep ownership local and offer an alternative to those who don't want to hang out with the Yuppies, frat boys or tourists drawn to other parts of Cowtown.

http://www.thechesterfielddallas.com The Chesterfield, located downtown, is a tiny, narrow space, darkly lit and plushly furnished, with a feel and tone from a long-lost era. But it’s not the bar’s atmosphere that brings people through the doors. It’s Eddy “Lucky” Campbell and his team of bartenders. The attention to detail paid to each cocktail, including hand-chipped ice, and careful balance gives each drink a personality of its own. Food is competent at times, brilliant others, and occasionally misses the mark, but you came for the booze anyway. When a competent bartender blends fine spirits with passion, skill and balance, the tapestry of flavors to be experienced is as infinite as it is inspiring. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.chesterfields.ws Chesterfield's is a sports bar located at Maple and Inwood in an eclectic strip center that also includes a tattoo shop, check-cashing place, boat junkyard and, inexplicably, a fine wine shop. The menu is heavy on the battered-and-fried, with cheese sticks, poppers and "New 'Amazing' Spicy Fried Pickles" on the apps menu and corn dogs, chicken-fried steak, catfish and sandwiches among the entrees. Dartboards cover just about every vertical surface along with plaques from the dart and pool leagues and a few eight-liner video slot machines. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
