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.

Craft and Growler
3601 Parry Ave. Dallas, TX 75226
214-821-1122
Officially open in November of 2012, Craft & Growler's warm mahogany interior initially seems better suited for a New England setting, although the beer list proves otherwise. The bar's 30 taps cover a diverse selection of craft beers, with a focus on Texas and Dallas-area microbrews. Apart from an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly staff of beer snobs, the cozy bar offers a unique service: You can choose from a wide selection of beer growlers, or bring your own growler and fill it with any of the tap beers to enjoy at home. A haven for beer-lovers of every sort, Craft & Growler is the sort of place that Hemingway would have frequented to finish a novel. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>

Eden Lounge
2911 Main St. Dallas, TX 75226

http://www.edenloungedallas.com A predominantly lesbian bar in Deep Ellum has everyone talking. Open in winter 2012, Eden Lounge is as swanky as it sounds, but with warm and inviting management. Ginda Bayliss, a rotund, middle-aged lesbian who used to be in the Navy, has become a staple in the community from managing a handful of gay and lesbian bars in Dallas over the past 30 years, and is now on board with Eden Lounge. If it's a slow night, no one is getting out of the bar without a bear hug from Ginda. Black leather couches and accompanying tables line the walls of the sleek bar and face a dance floor lit up by overhanging neon lights. A rooftop patio offers one of the best views of the downtown skyline. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
It'll Do Club
4322 Elm St. Dallas, TX 75226-1133
214-827-0262
Since it's opening in winter 2012, It'll Do has become East Dallas' go-to dance club. It's large interior and spacious dance floor are big enough to hold a candle to even the best and largest Dallas night clubs, but without falling privy to any pretentiousness. Young adults, students and trendsetters of every variety gather to dance to the beat of underground DJs spinning everything from indie rock-infused tracks to old school hip-hop mash-ups. It'll Do is the type of club where you are free to dance how you feel--the type of dancing and singing that you do with your hairbrush microphone, in your rubber ducky robe after a shower.

Le Vu'
2505 Pacific Ave. Dallas, TX 75226
214-280-0738
http://www.levudallas.com Le Vu’ is an upscale dance club and lounge on Pacific Avenue that got people talking early in its run. With a top-shelf bar, VIP booths, bottle service and expansive dance floor, the club is a dwelling for Dallas socialites looking to see and be seen. A large marble wrap-around bar is fixated in the center of the room, while booths and tables line the walls. DJs sit high in a booth that overlooks the dance floor, saturated in changeable neon lights and mirrors. A small, walled-off section in the back of the club features a smaller, less crowded bar for those looking to mingle and chat. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
The Meridian Room
3611 Parry Ave. Dallas, TX 75226
214-826-8383
http://www.themeridianroom.com This stalwart of Exposition Park has been a popular hangout for discerning bar goers in Dallas for well over a decade. There isn't a specific draw. Rather, discovering the bar's subtleties will make you a regular, just like the Expo Park dwellers and music fans who hang out in the nearby Deep Ellum neighborhood. The way the sun creates long shadows that fill the narrow space in the late afternoon is sublime, especially with a two- or three-beer buzz. A rotation of local artwork covers one wall, while a tall wooden case holds hundreds of bottles behind the bar on the other side. And the food, a selection of high-brow pub grub, is great for dinner or a late-night snack. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>

Sandaga 813
813 Exposition Ave. Dallas, TX 75226
214-616-0802
http://www.sandaga813.com If Exposition Park is the jazz capital of Dallas, saxophonist Shelley Carroll is king. One such venue at which he performs regularly is Sandaga 813, located on Exposition Avenue in the space formerly occupied by Minc. Not much about the atmosphere has changed. The lounge area along the exposed brick wall is covered by a hut-style canopy. And the chairs and cocktail tables in the middle of the room can be easily removed when DJs spin on the weekends. But really, weeknights are where it's at. The grown-folks crowd, low lighting and really impressive jazz make for a one-of-a-kind experience in Dallas. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Sandbar Cantina and Grill
317 S. 2nd Ave. Dallas, TX 75226
214-647-1424
http://www.sandbarcantina.com The Sandbar Cantina and Grill, a massive sprawl of white sand volleyball courts in that sort of untouched southeastern section of Deep Ellum, features six courts, all of them regulation size, all of them beautiful. Owner Mike Morgan says the most common reaction he gets when new patrons stumble upon the bar is “Holy shit, I'm at a white sand beach, not an unpretentious bar.” He also says there are plans for expansion. Soon, more courts will be built and a second story will be added to the indoor space, which houses a full bar and working kitchen serving Baja-style grub. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Swallow Lounge
2820 Elm St. Dallas, TX 75226
877-373-6851
Deep Ellum’s bars are generally pretty simple. Few offer cocktails beyond a whiskey Coke, but Swallow Lounge seeks to remedy that. The bar, located on Malcolm X Boulevard and Elm Street, is a two-story nightclub that follows the high-end mixology trend. While the drinks don’t match the output of The Cedars Social or The Chesterfield, the long, narrow space is good for lounging. On the back patio, there are dart boards and a cornhole set-up, which will help take your mind off the high prices you’re paying for the cocktails at the bar.

Three Links
2704 Elm St. Dallas, TX 75226

http://www.threelinksdeepellum.com 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 >>
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.
