  • Across The Street Bar

    Across The Street Bar

    5625 SMU Blvd. Dallas, TX 75206
    214-363-0660

    http://www.acrossthestreetbar.com The Across the Street Bar was named for its location on SMU Boulevard on the other side of Central Expressway from Southern Methodist University, and the auto-garage-turned-bar-and-venue does see its fair share of college students. But it also draws folks from the surrounding area. This Upper Greenville no-frills bar, venue and billiards parlor is in a great location that's seen a recent facelift with several new lofts, restaurants and businesses moving into the area. And, like its sister bar, SMU Boulevard Ice House, Across the Street Bar is known for its cheap pitchers of draft beer. The bar regularly features local musicians and acts on its stage, and for more than 15 years the bar has hosted drum jams on Wednesday nights. More >>

  • Alligator Cafe

    Alligator Cafe

    9540 Garland Road Dallas, TX 75218
    214-821-6900

    http://www.eatgator.com A perennial winner of the Observer's "best Cajun" honor, Alligator Café is a counter-service take on South Louisiana cuisine. The restaurant"s a reliable source of boiled crawfish come mudbug season, and the popular pies tend to sell out before closing time, the East Dallas restaurant"s good cheer and boudin balls have won over eaters. The Cajun eatery also offers occasional live blues on the weekends from the likes of local luminaries like Hash Brown. More >>

  • Arcade Bar

    Arcade Bar

    1825 Abrams Parkway Dallas, TX 75214
    214-827-5253

    http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=arcade bar&init=quick&tas=search_preload#!/pages/Dallas-TX/ARCADE-BAR/238937525174 Located next to the historic art deco Lakewood Theater and underneath the Balcony Club, this dive is popular among people in the Lakewood and Lake Highlands neighborhood. There's some café seating out front under the theater's marquee, but don't be disappointed -- there's no arcade inside. The long wooden bar runs the length of the establishment, and there's lots of seating available at the bar and at tables and chairs along the adjacent wall, which is decorated with old concert posters ranging from The Misfits to Jane's Addiction to Polvo. Arcade Bar offers weekly specials like Procession Mondays with $2 you-call-its all day, and karaoke on Tuesdays and Thursdays. More >>

  • Barley House

    Barley House

    5612 SMU Blvd. Dallas, TX 75206
    214-824-0306

    http://www.barleyhouse.com It's no surprise that this Dallas institution is jam-packed with coeds after dark; it's a beer-pong bounce away from Southern Methodist University. However, the endless rotation of original and cover bands brings in live-show fans from across Dallas. While the kitchen does turn out food, mostly appetizers (e.g., "Totally Fried" Sampler: onion rings, stuffed red chiles, chicken strips, fried pickles and fries) and sandwiches (Barley House "Wing" Sandwich: spicy chicken breast with ranch dressing, carrots and celery), some entrées are available. The emphasis is on the musical acts and beer selection, which includes 17 drafts and more than 30 bottles. And for local historical kitsch: The Barley House is proud to advertise, "Laura Bush mentions the Barley House in her 2009 commencement speech at SMU." More >>

  • Dyer Street Bar

    Dyer Street Bar

    5527 Dyer St. Dallas, TX 75206
    214-282-3765

    http://www.myspace.com/dyerstreetbar It may not be possible for a dive bar to be located this close to SMU, but Dyer Street Bar is the next best thing. The crowd is generally within five years of trading in the fake ID for a real one. It's invitingly smoky and dark, with a scarred hardwood bar, concrete floor, dartboard, a stained pool table and one cheap plastic foosball table. Other coin-operated diversions include a jukebox with a decent alt-rock selection, Silver Strike and Big Buck Hunter. More >>

  • Far West

    Far West

    7331 Gaston Ave. Dallas, TX 75214-4131
    214-367-8800

    Despite its name, this massive Tejano club is located in East Dallas, only minutes away from White Rock Lake. Tejano enthusiasts, scantily clad women and those looking to blow off steam come together on Far West's several dance floors. One room specializes in Tejano music, and another plays dance and hip-hop. The club also features live music and frequently operates as a banquet hall for weddings, high school dances and other private events. More >>

  • The Goat

    The Goat

    7248 Gaston Ave. Dallas, TX 75214
    214-327-8119

    http://www.myspace.com/goatblues This neighborhood dive bar hosts blues bands every night, so sit back to watch the music, join in on an open jam night (or karaoke Sundays) or chill out in the back with the shuffleboard table. More >>

  • Good Records

    Good Records

    1808 Greenville Ave. Dallas, TX 75206
    214-752-4663

    http://www.goodrecords.com The record store with its racks covered in yellow paint and colored light bulbs puts up a stage in the back cranny that usually holds a listening center when local bands have a CD release party or when touring bands want a more intimate showcase. More >>

  • Granada Theater

    Granada Theater

    3524 Greenville Ave. Dallas, TX 75206
    214-824-9933

    http://www.granadatheater.com There is a sign hanging above the stage at the Granada Theater that says "Love Yourself." What it should say is "Treat Yourself." The Granada offers much more than just bar fare. Gourmet pizza, tacos and other made-from-scratch menu items are perfect for a late night snack or a pre-concert meal. The food, as good as it is, takes a backseat to the performances in the main room. Each week, some of the world's most talented musical acts pass through on tour. And to top it off, you'll be greeted with smiles from everyone on the staff. More >>

  • Green Elephant

    Green Elephant

    5627 Dyer St. Dallas, TX 75206
    214-265-1338

    http://www.myspace.com/thegreenelephant Although this pseudo-psychedelic SMU hangout smells like last weekend's booze, the food is above-average bar fare, and there are a dozen draft beers to choose from while you play Golden Tee. The soft tacos were tasty and non-greasy; the Italian meatball pasta was a huge portion with delicious meatballs. The 1/2-pound burgers are excellent, but skip the tepid Buffalo wings. More >>

  • Lizard Lounge

    Lizard Lounge

    2424 Swiss Ave. Dallas, TX 75204
    214-826-4768

    http://www.thelizardlounge.com Maybe best known for hosting goth-friendly "The Church" on Sunday nights, Lizard Lounge also features some of the world's best DJs on a regular basis. Several rooms plus a rooftop deck offer a good combination of dance floor and dark corners. Fun fact: Madonna tried to buy this place. Yes, that Madonna. More >>

  • Muddy Waters

    Muddy Waters

    4314 Live Oak St. Dallas, TX 75204
    214-823-1518

    Although bathed in color-changing neon lights, Muddy Waters' interior is still so dim you can hardly find your way to the pool tables. With a cross section of various ages and races, Muddy Waters caters to crowds of working-class people rushing to get in on the bar’s cheap weekly specials, including Monday’s dollar drafts and Tuesday’s $2 wells. When slow, the bar is a watering hole for weary blue-collar workers. When busy, the bar is packed with college students dancing to DJs or watching solo-acoustic sets on the bar’s small, wooden stage. Outside, a ground-level smoking area is sectioned off by an iron gate, and can seat a handful of people who watch cars pass on Live Oak Street. More >>

  • The Old Crow

    The Old Crow

    1911 Greenville Ave. Dallas, TX 75206-7438
    214-828-2769

    Utterly unremarkable and unpretentious, The Old Crow is the perfect spot on Lower Greenville if you just want to have a few cheap beers, watch a game and maybe shoot a round of stick or throw some darts. From the plywood floor to the Pabst Blue Ribbon and Busch Light to the random assortment of yard-sale decorations, this dive is perfectly un-Dallas. More >>

  • The Old Monk

    The Old Monk

    2847 Henderson Ave. Dallas, TX 75206
    214-821-1880

    http://www.oldmonkdallas.com Just on the basis of suds alone, this English-style pub chugs up high marks with brews from 10 countries including three varieties of Chimay, the heady Belgian beer brewed by Trappist Monks. But Old Monk has other charms, too, from its dark wood paneling fashioned from confessional booths to its bar tables rendered from old barrels. Plus, it has decent bar fodder, including Belgian-style steamed mussels, cheese boards, frites and a German sausage plate. Go for the head, but stay for the belly. Check out the new seasonal beer.

  • Ozona Grill & Bar

    Ozona Grill & Bar

    4615 Greenville Ave. Dallas, TX 75206
    214-265-9105

    http://www.ozonagrill.com Ozona Bar and Grill is named after the tiny, unincorporated West Texas town of Ozona. A town that happens to be the one-and-only town in all of the vast expanse that is Crockett County, and whose motto happens to be "The Biggest Little Town in the World." So Ozona's a fitting name for a bar and grill with "The Biggest Little Award-winning Patio In Dallas." With trees, vegetation and fencing separating the multi-level patio from Greenville Avenue, it's no wonder that the place is a popular happy hours (and beyond) spot for such a great cross-section of Dallas. Naturally, the patio's typically hoppin' in the summer months. The menu offers everything from Tex Mex to steaks to burgers and chicken-fried steak. More >>

    Zubar

    2012 Greenville Ave. Dallas, TX 75206
    214-887-0071

    http://www.thezubar.com With local art prominently displayed and edgy music seven days a week, you can almost forget you're in Dallas. On slow nights DJs spin music reggae, to drum n' bass, mash-ups and other hipster fare in the front room, leaving the back room relatively quiet for anyone wanting to relax on the massive L-shaped couch. For event nights, that back room isn't so peaceful, as the rear bar (with a futuristic red-lit bar top), DJ booth and, needless to say, dance floor are fully occupied. More >>
