Cabaret Royale

With somewhat classier surroundings than your average strip club, Cabaret Royale caters to a more discerning clientele — sort of. While high rollers can buy a wristband and ascend the fancy staircase up to the VIP area (home to the infamous “Champagne Room”), mere mortals can stay downstairs, where the beer is just as cold, […]

Candle Room

What will you find inside this members-only Henderson-area hangout? Pretty people pounding equally pretty (if pricey) cocktails and having a blast on the dance floor. The dress code is strictly enforced, so leave the flip-flops and football jersey at home.

Cape Buffalo Bar and Grill

From the curbside out front, Cape Buffalo Grille looks like just another far North Dallas bar and grill. There’s a huge patio, happy hour specials, and a massive central bar with plenty of seating and a full menu from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., but what distinguishes Cape Buffalo from other neighboring establishments is that […]

Capitol Pub

With an extensive draft and bottled beer selection, dartboards and dark wood, this watering hole has must-stop written all over it. This is further proven by the barhopping mobs along the stretch of Henderson on which Capitol is located. Lunch is served Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning at 11 a.m. There is a Sunday brunch […]

Cave’s Lounge

There’s nothing pretentious about it: Caves Lounge is comfortable, with a great jukebox and a huge back patio. It’s a college hangout, just across the road from the University of Texas at Arlington. Inside, it feels like a weird vintage shop, covered in eclectic art and curtained in red velvet. Thursday nights are packed for […]

Chan Thai

Since 2004, this North Oak Cliff Thai food establishment has provided guests a relaxed dining experience with a nightclub ambience. It”s sleek and hip befitting this Bishop Arts District gay-friendly spot. Happy hour (4-7 p.m.) attracts freeloaders. It”s then when guests are offered free appetizers along with bottom-barrel drink specials. The menu reads like an […]

Charlie’s Star Lounge

“Be Kind, Unwind” is the tagline for this bar right outside of Deep Ellum in the location of the old Starlight Lounge. Allen Falker, owner of Nines in Deep Ellum, and general manager Corey Howe had to replace almost everything in the building: plumbing, electrical, roof, floor, HVAC, bathrooms (for ADA compliance), the parking lot. […]

CheapSteaks

There’s a long list of new, glitzy restaurants in Deep Ellum. CheapSteaks is not one of these. Here you’ll get honest food and strong drinks at a fair price, a reflection of the original neighborhood’s gritty character. True to its name, CheapSteaks offers up a trio of beef cuts that punch above their weight class. […]

Christies Sports Bar & Grill

When the soup of the day is “mimosas” and sangrias come in towers, you know you’ve found home. Not to mention the spicy and tropical F*** It Bucket. And while we all loved (sometimes too much) their original Uptown location, their new spot has a large outdoor space; every seat on their patio, rooftop and […]

City Hall Bar (Social Lobby)

If people-watching is on your LinkedIn profile as a skill, then the bar at the center of the historical Adolphus Hotel is your Huckleberry. There’s a treasure chest of options at this iconic downtown hotel, including the Rodeo Bar, The French Room and City Hall Bistro, all great spots on their own. But at the […]

City Tavern

Soaking Dallasites with booze since 2003, City Tavern is a cool downtown spot where you can grab a drink and get a bite to eat. They offer regular lunch specials, and the drink menu is as varied as it is tasty. On Tuesdays, you can get a taco special, and on Wednesdays, you can tilt […]

CLUB NAI

lighting up the Dallas’ Nightlife scene the new Club Nai is the perfect place To Be, Be Seen, Socialize & Celebrate. Captivating style, cutting edge music and World Class service has separated this exclusive venue from all the rest. Located in the Royal Lane and Emerald street , Club Nai encompasses 5,000 square feet of […]

Clubhouse

The Clubhouse, a strip club with plenty of strip-club neighbors, has chosen golf for its theme. Because the place is dark and has a predilection for motorcycles and heavy metal, it’s hard to see how that theme is executed. Along with the main stage, the bar in the middle is fronted with a stage that […]

The Cock & Bull

One bar, one wall of booths and a few tables compose The Cock & Bull, one of the smallest pubs around town, but the inviting neighborhood atmosphere makes up for the lack of elbowroom. Old wood, red-painted walls and country paintings of its namesake cock and bull make the English pub come alive. It’s known […]

The Cockpit

The Cockpit glows neon yellow from a lonely strip mall off Marsh Lane, drawing a middle-aged crowd with wood paneling and a bartender’s promise to know everyone’s name. The beer is cold, the liquor “bring your own” and the wine list offers a choice of red, white and pink. Preserving the bar’s roots–pilots originally owned […]

Cold Beer Company

Cold Beer Co. is a low-key beer garden on the east end of Deep Ellum – east enough that East Dallas locals get split custody. The bartenders are attentive and knowledgeable, and the place has a fantastic selection of local beer: 24 taps with 36 more options in cans, some that rotate seasonally. And, perhaps […]

The Common Table

It’s a hophead’s heaven at Uptown’s The Common Table, thanks to the bar and restaurant’s expertly curated craft beer menu. The bar is located in an old remodeled house on Fairmont, offering a cozy, wide open feel inside and a huge patio in the front where some of the area’s best bands play on Thursday […]

Cool River Cafe

Las Colinas is known as a part of town where business happens. Top executives from all over the country travel to this section of North Irving to buy, sell, merge and do all sorts of other businessy things. And when the day is done, many of these tycoons can be found seated at the richly […]
