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. More >>

5101 W. Lovers Lane Dallas, TX 75209
214-956-9552
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. More >>

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. More >>

214-526-6365
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." More >>

1705 Airport Frwy Bedford, TX 76021-5731
817-283-9090
http://www.toadiesbar.com Bedford's no-frills neighborhood bar Toadies isn't named after the famous Dallas rock band. Far more obvious than that, it's a frog-themed bar, complete with a giant frog on the huge sign that sits above the entrance, and frog statues sprinkled within the bar. Almost everyone sitting at the long wooden counter seems well-acquainted with each other, discussing the ins and outs of whichever local team is playing on the pull-down screen behind the bar. The drink selection seems pared down to just the basics, but what Toadies lacks in drink variety, it makes up for in friendly service. More >>

http://www.myspace.com/torchdallas With its adequate sound system, 60-foot bar and hardwood dance floor, the 5,000-sq. foot Torch could be a great addition to the Lower Greenville live-music scene. As it is, though, the club's attempt to be all things to all people (douchebags can get bottle service even if they're wearing shorts) keeps it from being anything special. It's a nice setting for its sporadic, if poorly promoted, live hip-hop shows. The place was the site of a rather inadvertently funny bar-to-MC misunderstanding: moments after a bartender stated that the bar had no drink specials, the host of a hip-hop showcase tried to boost bar traffic by boasting that the bar had great drink specials.

http://www.toulousecafeandbar.com Alberto Lombardi shares his love of Franco-influenced Belgian comestibles and his house specialty, pomme frites, in the Park Cities. The eatery"s amber glow gives it the ambience of a bistro where customers can while away the hours enjoying the Gallic-heavy wine stock or perhaps some frogs" legs. Mussels come in many compelling varieties, their bread-sopping sauces adding to your dining pleasure. The third Monday of the month is when a reservation-required, three-course wine dinner is held. The dining room is small but inviting, decorated by French posters and artwork, and the bar is a cozy, steel-topped vantage to watch the Katy Trail joggers trot the evening away. More >>

1301 W. Glade Road Euless, TX 76039
817-358-8862
http://www.tccigarseuless.com There aren't many cigar places in Dallas where you can buy a drink and a smoke and enjoy them both indoors. But if you're looking for a good scotch to go with your stogie, Town & Country Cigars in Euless is the nearest place. The big front room has plush leather sofas and a big glass coffee table covered with newspapers, ashtrays and cigar magazines. The adjacent walk-in humidor is massive, offering thousands of cigars, and the bar in the back has cocktail tables from which patrons watch sports on a massive TV. The bar, while not as well stocked as the humidor, has plenty of options, whether you're looking for whiskey or a local craft beer. There are several Rahr choices on tap. More >>

Phillip Jester, former GM of Lee Harvey's, and business partner Ken Arkwell purchased this 42-year-old northwest Oak Cliff watering hole from longtime owner Dennis Wood in September 2009, assuring regulars that he wouldn't change a thing. But despite promises that Tradewinds' bar staff and its revered biweekly karaoke night would remain intact, neither has proven true. D&D Karaoke, the beloved karaoke team featured in "Dallas's Most Authentic Dive Bars.", has been replaced by the hipster-pleasing DJ Mr. Rid's Scaraoke. Hours have changed to shut out morning drinkers, and the crowd is decidedly younger and hipper. But if that's what it takes to keep Tradewinds' doors open--and bring edgy live music such as Darktown Strutters and Museum Creatures to Oak Cliff--so be it. More >>

http://www.trecerestaurant.com The Travis Avenue bar and restaurant scene is a favorite hangout for the uptown crowd. From the porch of Mexican kitchen and Tequila Lounge, you can look out on a street lined with fancy cars and beautiful people, or you can look inside at the breezy California-style dining room, rich with dark cherry tables and floors, and white adobe walls. Walk into the bar area and sample any of their 100-plus tequilas-they even have several top shelf tequilas on tap. Have drinks with friends or sit down for a delicious gourmet Tex-Mex meal.Here you can get the most virile tableside guacamole known this side of the Minute Men; a place where haute Mexican regional cooking unfurls in fresh clear flavors, including the prime New York strip ranchero; short ribs braised in cabernet and Mexican chili; and nachos with lobster, black bean puree, avocado and jalapeño jelly. Trece is where good Mexican lives in Dallas. Here"s hoping more follow suit. More >>

http://www.treesdallas.com This is the place where all Dallas rock music fans have been at one time in their lives. Visiting Trees is like a rite-of-passage for area high-school seniors, who have assured their parents that they're safe and sound at a friend's house. It's a place with great history and legend, like Kurt Cobain's infamous fight with a bouncer, and many ear-splitting performances from The Flaming Lips. In recent years Trees shut down and reopened with the help of new management. A fresh coat of paint and some remodeling around the bar has the once ramshackle operation looking as sleek as any ultra-lounge in town. A trip to Trees is a history lesson--plus you get to hear some great local and national bands. More >>

http://www.trinityhall.tv Upon first visit, Trinity Hall seems like just another faux-Irish Pub, of which there are many in North Texas. But what sets Trinity Hall apart from the others is that it's run by an actual Irish dude. There is a huge selection beer, and a Scotch menu that is intimidating to the faint-of-heart, and weak-of-wallet. It's not your typical sports bar, but Trinity Hall is the perfect place to watch soccer. They screen games from the World Cup and the English Premier League. Drop by one Saturday, order a Guinness and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More >>

http://www.trinitytaverndfw.com Located on the eastern fringe of Fort Worth is Trinity Tavern, one of the area's sleeker watering holes. Managing partner Joel Fincher describes his bar as "a little bit of Uptown with Fort Worth prices." It's certainly not anything like the massive ultra-lounges in Uptown Dallas, but its stone floor and wooden ceiling give the place a somewhat sophisticated feel. So too does the no-smoking policy and the art hanging on the walls, all of which is for sale. What keeps the place casual is the light dinner menu and the bar's cozy space. More >>

Like J. Blacks and Beauty Bar before it, The Trophy Room is another Austin establishment replicated for Dallas drinkers -- complete with stage for live shows, antlered "trophies" mounted and hung on the walls, and, perhaps most important, the mechanical bull. The bucking machine is placed front-and-center on Trophy Room's front patio and has helped earn this new Uptown bar plenty of early buzz. And the building's orange-painted facade makes it easy to spot, while the brown and green walls and warm wood accents keep the hunting "theme" going. More >>

http://www.tumbleweedssportsbar.com You'll find Tumbleweed's Sports Bar at the furthest edge of Fort Worth, situated among a few gas stations and restaurants on the south side of Loop 820. The first thing you'll see upon walking inside the bar is a mounted buffalo head and a wooden Indian. The regulars here include local service industry types getting off work and anyone else wanting to shoot pool on one of Tumbleweed's six tables. Most likely, they were lured by the free pool that Tumbleweed's offers on Sundays or Mondays. The walls aren't plastered with televisions, but there are enough screens to find the game you need. If you're hungry, the nearby Dickie's BBQ delivers straight to the bar. More >>
