Sisu Uptown Resort

Sisu Uptown Resort is one of the few Uptown aqua lounges that does not require a club membership. Open to the general public, Sisu's pool accommodates Dallasites looking to swim year round.

Lake House Bar & Grill

Located less than a mile away from White Rock Lake, just off of Northwest Highway, Lake House Bar & Grill is a far cry from an actual lake house, although it'll do just fine after a long day of work.

What looks like an actual treehouse, if it were first an old fraternity house, is a spanning two-story bar directly next to the heart of the University of North Texas campus, and caters mostly to students.

W.W. Fairfield's
147 N. Plano Road Richardson, TX 75081-3827
972-231-3844
http://www.wwfairfields.com A North Texas tradition since 1978, W.W. Fairfield's boasts some dedicated employees who've been punching a time clock at the honky-tonk for more than 25 years. One of its bars in the back even has "reserved" spots for equally long-time regulars. W.W. Fairfield's is sandwiched between Yum Yum Greek Restaurant and Pho Bac Vietnamese Restaurant in a Richardson strip shopping area, but the strip offers plenty of parking even on busy Friday and Saturday nights. The country and Western bar features a large wooden dance floor and live music on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with dance lessons available Monday through Thursday. It offers a bar menu of sandwiches, burgers and appetizers like cheese sticks, cheese fries and stuffed jalapeños, and there are dartboards, pool tables and big screen TVs.

Weekends Sports Bar
600 Cooke Drive Rowlett, TX 75088
972-412-1978
Half beach bar and half honky-tonk, Weekends is the boot scootin', live-music party center on Lake Ray Hubbard. On one side in the cabana bar, a young party crowd can be entertained by cover bands, a dance floor, a huge game room, happy hour margaritas and a free late-night taco bar. A second space calls out to the country fans, with more live bands in this Western-style, Texan-friendly watering hole. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>

Whiskey Cake
3601 Dallas Parkway Plano, TX 75093
972-993-2253
http://www.whiskey-cake.com Located just off the Dallas North Tollway at Parker Road in Plano, Whiskey Cake takes over the old Plano Tavern location, remodeling, renovating and reinventing the spot into a farm-to-kitchen gastropub -- complete with potted herbs in a grow room. Opened by the folks behind the Ranch in Las Colinas (and Twin Peaks), Whiskey Cake offers contemporary, "scratch-only" American cuisine prepared with fresh, local, seasonally available ingredients. Beer is served ice-cold, and classic cocktails are made even classier with fresh ingredients like homemade syrups and fresh-squeezed fruit and vegetable juices (huge industrial-size juicers, as well as heaps of produce, are visible behind the bar). Also, no soda fountains -- the soft drinks at Whiskey Cake come in bottles. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Whiskey Girl Saloon
2413 Ellis Ave. Fort Worth, TX 76164
817-945-2055
Whiskey Girl Saloon is nestled in the heart of the Fort Worth Stockyards, with country bars and honky-tonks cornering it on all sides. The 5,000-plus-square-foot bar is one of few in the area that serves as a venue for local country, alternative and indie acts alike. Catch the venue on one of its “open bar” nights and pay less than $20 to drink and watch performances by local lineups that play on one of the venue's two large stages.

White Elephant Beer Garden
106 E. Exchange Ave. Fort Worth, TX 76106
817-624-8273
http://www.whiteelephantsaloon.com Do you like the fake six-gun shootouts at Six Flags? Then you"ll love this place, with its brass foot rails, a history that traces back (in name, anyway) to the 1880s and regular appearances by some pretty great country troubadours who like to kick it old-school, such as Brian Burns. Giddy up. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
White Rock Sports Bar & Grill
718 N. Buckner Blvd. Dallas, TX 75218
214-321-6979
This unique Lake Highlands-area dive bar is located in a strip shopping mall just a stone's throw from White Rock Lake. With plenty of TVs and seating, the neighborhood sports bar makes for a good location to catch a big game while enjoying White Rock's drink specials. At night, you can't miss the joint thanks to the bright-as-day glow from the huge neon sign that runs the width of the bar. The kitchen cranks out typical bar fare (the burgers are popular with the regulars - "Damn good," one said), and bring quarters in case you feel like playing some arcade or pinball games. Billiards and shuffleboard are available, too. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Whitehall Exchange
500 N. Bishop Ave. Dallas, TX 75208
214-946-3900
https://www.facebook.com/whitehallexchange There's a certain art-forward, laid-back feel to the restaurants and bars popping up in Oak Cliff's Bishop Arts District. Whitehall Exchange, a relaxed wine bar on the corner of Bishop and Seventh, follows the shared attitude. It feels nothing like a stereotypical wine bar. It feels almost like an old neighborhood haunt with its pressed tin roof and faded dark blue walls with chipped paint. It's friendly too. Even on a busy night the bartender is willing to entertain an endless amount of wine tasting requests before patrons commit to purchasing a glass or bottle, which can be accompanied by a number of flatbreads.

The Wild Rooster Bar
3204 Camp Bowie Blvd. Fort Worth, TX 76107
817-332-9453
http://www.wildroosterbar.com Fort Worth's Wild Rooster is considered part of the Seventh Street Corridor, though it sits alone on the fringe. But being located apart from the other neighborhood bars isn't a bad thing. It means people who visit the bar aren't going to barhop up and down the street. They're there for the night. And Wild Rooster gives them reason to be. The roomy bar is cavernous but never feels empty, thanks to an abundance of seating and décor that covers the red walls. On weeknights, you can sit at the bar and watch the game. On weekends, you can catch one of Fort Worth's best country or rock acts on the Wild Rooster stage.

The Wild Turkey
2470 Walnut Hill Dallas, TX 75229
214-351-5383
http://www.wildturkey.net Since 1978, The Wild Turkey has been the site of much gobbling - of food, that is -- in a rustic setting, reminiscent of a honky-tonk and sports bar combo. There are plenty of televisions broadcasting local and national sporting events as well as some arcade games, but the emphasis here is on the down-home cooking and casual atmosphere. Specialties include chicken-fried steak and pot roast served with the restaurant's signature garlic rolls. There are a healthy variety of hamburgers and sandwiches, like the namesake double-decker of fresh smoked turkey breast and lettuce on wheat toast with the house special dressing or mayo. Finger foods are popular on game days. However, the menu veers into Tex-Mex, pasta, steak and children's menu territory. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Willhoite's Restaurant
432 S. Main St. Grapevine, TX 76051
817-481-7511
http://www.willhoites.com The folks who run Willhoite's in downtown Grapevine are awfully proud of their city's roots. After all, they named their restaurant and bar after Andrew Willey Willhoite, the man who opened a gas station in the bar's space in 1919. In an homage to him, a vintage car sits atop a buffet where you can serve yourself what the place calls "contemporary fast food." Willhoite's biggest attraction, though, is the nightlife. The place bustles with light-beer-guzzling fortysomethings, most of them waiting their turns for karaoke. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Windmill Lounge
5320 Maple Ave. Dallas, TX 75235
214-443-7818
http://www.windmill-lounge.com There's a line in bartender Jason Kosmas' book, Speakeasy, that talks about the benefit of hanging out in the old man’s bar. Wisdom is passed down, advice is doled out, strong drinks are poured. Windmill owner and barman Charlie Papaceno is certainly no old man, but his bar seems to be the go-to drinkery for the area's best bartenders. The Windmill, located just beyond the outskirts of Uptown, finds its charm in its divey digs. The dark room is lined with second-hand tables, and the songs on the jukebox hit the spot almost as well as the drinks. And at the heart of the place is Papaceno, who makes each drink with a smile and friendly conversation. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Wine Squared
110 W. Oak St. Denton, TX 76201
940-384-9463
http://www.winetimeswine.com Wine Squared, located on the Denton Downtown Square, proves that not all college students want to spend an evening with a cheap beer in their hands. This shotgun hole-in-the-wall wine bar takes pride in its highbrow approach to nightlife. The bar staff is primarily comprised of University of North Texas philosophy majors, so good conversation is almost guaranteed with a good glass of wine at a decent price. Where most wine bars inflate the price of bottles, Wine Squared sells them for slightly more that cost. The bar also offers a nice view, with the work of UNT art students covering the walls.

The Wine Therapist
1810 Skillman Ave. Dallas, TX 75214
214-821-9463
http://www.thewinetherapist.com Inside this Lakewood wine cafe, the vibe is half wine cellar/tasting room and half warm, inviting living room. There is a nice variety of comfortable seating from couches to tables and chairs, hundreds of bottles of wine displayed on the walls, and a smoke-friendly patio outside. The Wine Therapist also features a food menu designed to complement the large variety of wines, and includes items such as hummus from Café Izmir and an assortment of meats and cheeses from which to choose. Customers order wine by the bottle, by the glass, or a flight of four wines is available for $20 for those who like to sample. And if you just want a bottle for enjoying at home, those are half the price (most bottles are under $40, with the average hovering around $25). One employee says the majority of the regulars come from the surrounding Lakewood area and Lake Highlands. Also worth noting, The Wine Therapist is dog-friendly.

Wish Ultralounge
3001 Knox St. Dallas, TX 75205
214-389-5723
http://www.wishultralounge.com On a typical night at Wish, my friends and I breezed through the non-line Friday and hiked up some stairs to a red-lit room with an industrial black ceiling, white curtains and sofas that surrounded the shoulder-to-shoulder sea of tights, tantrums and testosterone-chemically engineered or otherwise. It wasn't Halloween, but with the costumes and cover-ups going on, you wouldn't have known it. We did a lap around the place as the DJ spun the dance music of recent and of yesteryear. Girls in barely butt-covering dresses lured in sex-crazed males with their moves attempting not to show off their goodies. We spotted a chemically engineered musclehead wearing a skintight Armani v-neck and rosary beads. Rosary beads as a necklace, at the bar…perhaps an attempt to show the ladies that he really did have a soul, despite his perfectly rounded biceps and small head? The three bartenders did their best shuffling and liquor slinging to keep the crowd hydrated, but still it took a little time and/or some attention getting techniques to acquire a beverage. And, living up to its ultra lounge moniker, vodka-Red-Bulls were $9. Outside, the wraparound balcony, designated for the coffin-nail-lovers, overlooked the parking lot filled with Bentleys, Mercedes, and Audis. A few love sack sofas lined the window side.

Wits End
2724 Elm St. Dallas, TX 75226

Taking over the spot that used to be rock 'n' roll music venue The Bone, Deep Ellum's Wit's End is carrying the torch. With just a handful of beers on tap and a decent liquor selection, Wit's End is the place you go to catch live local bands. A bar, main stage and plenty of seating entertain the downstairs crowd while a large rooftop patio, smaller stage and speakers project live music into the Dallas night. For people walking down Elm Street, the hoots and hollers of twentysomethings and show-goers on the building's rooftop entice those looking for something loud and fun to get into.

Wizards Sports Cafe
747 S. Central Expwy Richardson, TX 75080
972-235-0371
http://www.wizardssportscafe.com This Richardson sports bar is open seven days a week from 11 a.m.- 2 a.m., and each day, from first pour to last call, it has an "All Day Happy Hour" that features $2 domestic drafts and $3 wells. So don't be surprised to see folks, young and old, hanging out or playing pool at all hours. Smoking is still allowed indoors in Richardson, and the patrons keep the place hazy. Wizard's offers games like billiards, darts and shuffleboards as well as several arcade games. And there are plenty of TVs over the bar, making it a good place to catch a game. For $25 an hour, Wizard's "Skyboxes" can be reserved for, among other events, bachelor parties, business meetings and birthday gatherings. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>

817-732-4936
http://www.woodystaverntexas.com Located in the same strip center as The Horseman Club, Woody's spacious interior sports a wall of big screen TVs, shuffleboard, darts, and an easy on the eyes clientele. Live country and rock bands play on the weekends and occasional weekdays, but the real draw is the eye candy, large bar and plentiful seating. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
