Mostly a Western warehouse that brings in young country studs (such as Chris Cagle) and offers dance classes to teach you how to move to ’em.
Floor-to-ceiling wine racks set into the walls combined with purples and autumnal tones darken this swanky wine aficionados’ destination. The low lighting adds a sense of chic and romance to Patrick Colombo’s (of Sfuzzi and Ferré fame) West Village wine bar, open since 2002. Crú and its staff stock more than 300 bottles of wine, […]
66 acres of flower and display gardens, including acres of azaleas, a Woman’s Garden, animal sculptures, a bamboo garden and the DeGolyer house.

Depending on your feelings toward America’s team (you know, the Cowboys?), this behemoth of a football stadium is either a marvel of modern engineering or a gross representation of American excess. Affectionately nicknamed the “Death Star” by some, Jerry Jones’ grand dome cost more than $1 billion to construct and boasts one of the world’s […]
This is the primo leather gay club in Dallas. In fact, it’s the only one. This hypermasculine joint is all about butch, beef and beer. DJ spins the techno while the gents size each other up. Don’t worry, the natives don’t bite but they might want to. Hot wax demos make for an interesting, if […]
Admission is free, select special exhibitions are $8
The place has an old-school, cash-only cigarette machine by the restrooms. We were destined to love Dallasite the moment we laid eyes on that beauty. Dallasite is the diviest of dives – the ultimate leave-your-pretentiousness-at-the-door watering hole. There’s a spacious patio out front, solid bar grub, pool tables, shuffleboard and darts. The bartenders are cool […]

Down the street a bit from the Denton Square is the longstanding bar and music venue Dan’s Silverleaf. Decorated with local art and photos of local musicians, the atmosphere at Dan’s is welcoming to all passersby. With shows held weekly (if not daily) Dan’s is an excellent place to stop in even if you have […]
Deep Ellum Art Co. is in one of the most trafficked neighborhoods in Dallas, so it makes sense that you’d find a spot that offers live music, lots of art and a good mix of drinks and grub from food trucks. The inside space is a whopping 5,000 square feet and boasts of being home […]
Desert Racer on Lowest Greenville is from local restauranteur, Nick Badovinus (Brass Ram, Town Hearth, National Anthem). We only mention it because the man just knows how to have a good time, trust us. Just drink whatever he’s drinking. Here that drink menu is loaded with wine, local beers, frozen cocktails and tequila hi-balls. The […]
For bikers, punks and metalheads, Diamond Jim’s is the kick-ass live music venue where leather jackets and tattoos are king. A small stage in the dark and smoky space is the home of Rogue Radio, the house cover band, where Thursday night contestants take the stage with the band for “Rogue-okie” karaoke. Tons of tables […]
This Big D live-music landmark and raucous sports bar straddles the West End and Victory Park, just a few blocks from the location it held for more than 20 years. Dick’s is a home away from home for those unable to score game tickets at the American Airlines Center for myriad reasons, among them the […]

The Door first opened the doors of its Deep Ellum all-ages location back in May 1998, and it’s been a popular place for young music fans to get their rocks off to the popular touring and local acts of every genre (with a slant toward pop, rock, punk rock and pop-punk). Together with its sister […]
Too hot in summer, too cold in late fall and just right depending on who’s playing (Peter Gabriel or Neil Young, say). In other words, great if you’re 10 rows from the stage, tolerable from the middle and like-you-give-a-damn if you’re on the grass, if you know what we mean.
