Get your mind out of the gutter: It’s Double D’s because it’s in the Design District. The vibe here is the best party you ever hosted in your grandma’s basement, with polished brass knickknacks, old couches, a shag rug and the rest. The cocktails here are serious. Try Edna’s Lunch Box, a tribute to the famed […]

Located in historic downtown Plano, Eisenberg’s offers something for kids of all ages. There are bike and skate ramps, a skate shop, an arcade and the occasional rock show. Just blocks from the DART rail station.
The Elbow Room, which sits on the outskirts of Deep Ellum near Baylor Hospital, has been relatively immune to the nearby nightlife district’s ups and downs over the last decade.

The manager of Escapade 2001 claims the club’s dance floor is “one of the largest in the metroplex”– beaten only by a dance floor in an old gutted Walmart. The dance floor, located in the middle of the club, is surrounded by at least a half a dozen bars on various elevated levels. The club’s […]
Promoted as the “Ultimate Latin Experience,” Escapade 2009 is one of the largest — if not the largest — Latin club in Dallas that’s not housed in a renovated big-box store. And that’s even if you aren’t counting the handful of other clubs also in the Escapade complex, which is so large that it’s impossible […]
If you’ve been bored with the dining scene along Travis Street, you’ve either been gone for some time or you’re not paying attention. The Establishment opened in the old Trece space and the cooking is energetic enough to enliven the entire neighborhood. The oyster bar might not look inviting but the bivalves that leave it […]

Some people don’t like karaoke, or would prefer to sit there and just watch the fun. That’s cool. But just trust that at Family Karaoke–where parties of up to 25 can reserve private sound-proofed rooms with wait-service who bring pitchers of beer, carafes of neon goodness and ample Jell-O shots, as well as tasty pub […]
This new Irish-style pub offers great cheese boards, sliders with fries and pommes frites with a dipping-sauce trio of interesting alternatives to plain old ketchup. Befitting of a Euro-style pub, the Fillmore is clean and beautifully decorated with polished wood and sports sturdy, scarred, wooden tables. Unlike most bars in Ireland, though, it’s kept dark. […]
The specialty of any pub-restaurant is, of course, food that goes well with beer. The dishes here–lots of wursts, sandwiches and snack-type foods–surpass standard pub fare, but the main attraction at this Sundance Square establishment is beer, with more than 75 varieties on tap and close to 200 in bottles.
