http://www.myspace.com/tanstaaflpub Laid back since 1976, Tanstaafl is a well-kept local secret, possessing more character than you'll know what to do with. With a beer garden in back and dartboards for weekly tournaments, it's like drinking in a space that's a cross between an Irish pub and your own living room. The name refers to a Robert Heinlein novel popularizing the phrase "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch," though there are usually free hot dogs, Chex mix or popcorn, especially for Wednesday night drink-in theater. Bluegrass bands take the tiny stage Thursday nights, and cover bands and solo acoustic acts on Saturdays. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.thetapin.com Despite its suburban location, downtown Grapevine is bustling with late-night activity almost every night of the week. Evidence of this can be found at Main Street's Tap-in Grill & Pub -- a smoky joint, big on stiff drinks, pub grub and live music. It's not a huge place, and its rich, dark-wood interior contributes to its cozy feel. On a recent weeknight visit, one of the servers sat in the corner of the bar playing old covers on his acoustic guitar. It was enough to keep the 30 or so bargoers entertained while they downed their drinks and ordered from a late-night menu. In between songs, he asked if anyone needed anything, but all he got in return was a handful of song requests. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Situated in the industrial part of Oak Cliff, adjacent to the Pilgrim’s Pride factory, is an old converted taquería and convenience store. Although the shabby building is in need of some serious TLC, the music venue is a haven for young show-goers looking to see the latest punk, metal and noise-rock groups Dallas has to offer. With concrete floors and walls, a small bar and just one couch, the venue is a far cry from cozy, although its well-constructed stage, lighting and sound are what really matter most to Tapatio’s regulars.

http://www.tatesdallas.com There’s a Victorian-style house on Mckinney and Worthington in Uptown that sat dormant for a while before John Tate, who goes by JW, decided to open his own place. The atmosphere at Tate's is upscale, thanks to the dark wooden walls, vaulted ceilings and the high concentration of very, very good-looking people, each of whom is a perfect advertisement for the cocktail they hold. Once you warm your seat at the long wooden bar, the bartenders engage you in friendly conversation and offer plenty of suggestions from the extensive cocktail and food menus.

http://www.teiteirobata.com Owned by Teppo Sushi proprietor Teiichi Sakurai, Tei Tei may well join Ferraris and long sabbaticals in Fiji as a slice of exotica vigorously lusted after. The "specials" chalkboard regularly features rare varieties of sashimi such as trigger fish and cristal fish, plus grilled baby barracuda and sea snail. And Tei Tei has Kobe beef steaks, an exclusive and rare grade of meat from Kobe, Japan, known for its extraordinarily melting tenderness, full flavor and marbled richness. Virtually everything here is fresh and meticulously prepared. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.tenbellstavern.com Ten Bells Tavern may be the perfect neighborhood pub. They pour solid pints of beer, serve great bar food and have an unassuming patio where you can drink to the setting sun. You can get Buffalo wings anywhere, and they will likely come with processed blue cheese and pale celery. Here the dip is played up with chunks of delicious moldy cheese and the strands of celery are crisp and edible. If fish and chips are your thing, don’t skip them here. The kitchen subs flounder for traditional cod, but the resulting dish is delicious. Not all that hungry? Grab a pickled egg. The selection changes with the seasons, but if the curry version is available it’s a must-order. The English were definitely on to something, and Ten Bells Tavern carries that torch.

http://www.tensportsgrill.com With drink specials galore and ample space - and elbowroom - to watch the big game, Ten Sports Grill makes for an ideal downtown sports bar. And, because of its proximity to the American Airlines Center, the bar often sees visits from local and national athletes after sporting events. It has 10 huge HD TVs plus a 110-inch projection screen, so anywhere you're seated, you're guaranteed a great view of the game. Happy hour specials run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Mondays through Wednesdays; Thursdays, dubbed "Thirsty Thursdays," offer all-day, all-night happy hour prices. "Ladies Night Saturdays" offer $3 "top-ten" martinis, $2 mimosas and $2.50 frozen drinks, and on weeknights the Ten offers "2 for $10" specials on menu items like burgers and fries or grilled chicken pasta, and the kitchen's "super bowls," like the fire and ice (a soup of chicken, Portobello mushrooms and white rice with coconut, red curry and lemongrass), are among the biggest sellers.

http://www.tephejez.com With live jazz performances downstairs and a dance floor with DJs upstairs, TePheJez jazz club (pronounced "tuh-phee-geez") feels like two different clubs under one roof. Upstairs, the warm, low lighting, the seating and the bar have a much more loungey feel than the downstairs, live-venue portion of the club. The space downstairs is lit with strands of Christmas lights and there is plenty of seating. But even on a busy night when all the tables are taken, there's still room to stand near the bar. VIP table reservations are available and provide patrons tables close enough to the stage to reach out and touch the instruments between sets. TePheJez is on Elm Street between downtown and historic Deep Ellum, and there's plenty of parking nearby. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.thetexastheatre.com Best known as the place where Lee Harvey Oswald was apprehended after assassinating JFK, the Texas Theatre keeps a considerably lower profile these days, mostly showing indie and horror flicks, silent movies, rough cuts of new projects from local filmmakers and playing host to art shows and special events. Located on Oak Cliff’s Jefferson Boulevard among quinceañera shops and taquerías, the charming retro lobby boasts a full bar and an appropriately old-school record player, making it an ideal spot to hang out before or after a movie -- or just pop in for a cocktail to absorb some of that historic vibe. Bonus: Jefferson Boulevard offers plenty of metered parking, a welcome respite from the forced valet omnipresent in the city’s tonier areas. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.thethirstyarmadillo.com Located in a strip of century-old buildings in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards is Thirsty Armadillo, a honky-tonk with a vast selection of whiskeys and bourbons. Weekend crowds head to the bar for live music and dancing, sporting expensive cowboy boots that track dirt and dust into the venue's spacious interior. Weekdays are more sparse, catering to the handful of locals who show up for acoustic acts and to sit at the large oak bar. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Filling the space that was once rock music venue La Grange, Three Links has found a home in Deep Ellum. Opened and operated by three Dallas music and arts scene veterans -- former La Grange manager Scott Beggs, Tactic Productions talent buyer Kris Youmans and Elm Street Tattoo owner and tattoo artist Oliver Peck -- Three Links hosts an array of rock, hardcore, indie pop and electronic bands from inside and outside of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Beyond a conjoined taco shop next to it, a newly built stage and some different decor, old La Grange regulars won't notice much of a difference between the spaces. The building still has the same great outdoor patio around back. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.threesheetsdallas.com Located on the cusp of downtown, ThreeSheets doesn't advertise, but the bar still manages to get packed to the gills -- or, we should say, shelves. One wall of the bar is a library decorated with dark wood and old books, giving the place a cozy neighborhood feel. If a little light reading isn't enough to attract the Uptown crowd, there are always the food and drink specials. ThreeSheets offers free brick-oven pizza on Mondays, and on Tuesdays all draft beer is $3 -- even the expensive imports. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.thrivedallas.com Thrive is equal parts nightclub, restaurant and lounge, depending on the time of day or night you drop by. All three Thrives are located in the same space on the ground floor of the Crowne Plaza Dallas Downtown. From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, Thrive Nightclub hosts DJs spinning hip-hop and Top 40 hits. Thrive Lounge, where you can sip a drink under the bar's striking hammered copper ceiling, is open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Thrive Restaurant serves "New American upscale cuisine" in the same "chic modern atmosphere" in which the nightclub hosts its lingerie parties -- with some creative rearranging of furniture and buffet tables, of course.

If you're looking for trance-inspired DJs around lower Greenville, Tiger Room serves up a change of pace from neighboring hip-hop and hard rock bars. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.tillmansroadhouse.com The restaurant may still have New American leanings, as opening dishes like crab cakes with orange-chipotle sauce suggested. But it has since drifted west, with chef Dan Landsberg crafting upscale country cuisine-meaning venison frito pie, port-glazed quail, salmon with Texas honey and the ever popular chicken-fried hanger steak. Of course, you can also settle in the lounge for a drink and some of their popcorn with truffled butter. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.totdfw.com Located on Lovers Lane near Inwood Road, this divey sports bar is a popular watering hole among neighborhood folk and has been since it opened in 1988. On any given night, Time Out Tavern fills up with everyone from students to the average arm-chair quarterback to urban cowboys in full Western wear to folks wearing business suits. Inside the walls are covered floor to ceiling in sports memorabilia, and while you can have a seat at one of the many tables, most people prefer to stand around and mingle. On weekends the dive gets so packed that it's all but impossible to play on the pool table in the center of the bar, but that doesn't stop folks from queuing up to cue up. This bustling, high-energy bar features an impressive assortment of high-end scotches, and happy hour specials run from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.timestencellars.com When walking into this Lakewood winery's front doors, you're welcomed by the sweet smell of fermenting grapes. And, like the sweet smell, the décor in the winery's tasting room and lounge area is homey and inviting, with the warm hues, vaulted ceilings, lots of cushy seating and candles lit throughout. But don't be surprised to find more people outside smoking cigars and cigarettes on the spacious fenced-in back patio. Times Ten Cellars features a wide selection of wines made from grapes grown in its own vineyards, and while it doesn't have a wide food selection (the menu offers up meat and cheese platters, hummus, etc.) they have arrangements with several local eateries that deliver right to your table, couch or barstool. The tasting room is open Monday through Sunday, but check the website for hours, which vary from day to day. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
http://www.tinroom.net Located a few blocks from the bustling Cedar Springs/Oak Lawn-area, The Tin Room attracts a predominately gay crowd, with its dance floor, drink specials and theme-party nights. This is a family-owned and -operated 18-and-up club, and has an underground feel, thanks to its eclectic décor (the free-standing building's painted hot pink on the outside with tin walls on the inside), tucked-away location and, well, its dancers. "Buns, abs, and bad boys"--that's the way the Tin Rooms' website describes the club's 60 or so "sensual male dancers" who take turns entertaining patrons. Expect huge crowds for the club's popular theme and costume parties, like "Studio 54 Night" and "Sex Dungeon Party." Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
