In Oak Cliff lives a little dive bar that doesn’t take itself too seriously. With one pool table, a small bar and a short wooden deck out back, Tradewinds is a neighborhood bar full of regulars who argue that Oak Cliff will soon be as safe as Uptown. Some nights the bar will serve up […]

This is the place where all Dallas rock music fans have been at one time in their lives. Visiting Trees is like a rite-of-passage for area high-school seniors, who have assured their parents that they’re safe and sound at a friend’s house. It’s a place with great history and legend, like Kurt Cobain’s infamous fight […]
Trick Pony is a side-hustle bar of Marlow MXM but has a completely different energy. While it can get rowdy on busy weekends, it often displays characteristics of a more mild-mannered middle child. While the interior design has a harsh industrial feel, the cocktails are anything but. As they like to say, this isn’t a […]
Off the beaten path off Lowest Greenville is a favorite lunch and drink spot for Dallasites that really just wants the city to kick back and relax. The Truck Yard’s food menu is short: Philly cheesesteak, sandwich and/or nachos. But what more do you really need to eat at a bar with so much space […]
This Deep Ellum speakeasy is accessed through a faux candy storefront. You’ll have to check their Facebook page for the weekly password to get in. The lounge at Truth and Alibi is posh with deep couches and chairs, and if want to make sure if you get a table, make reservations. DJs play a mix […]

As you walk down Elm Street in Deep Ellum, you’ll pass a heavy black door and red shaded windows. This is the Twilite Lounge, and it is known for its incredible, seasoned bar staff who know their way around a good cocktail. Known also for its frequent free live shows that might get a little […]
The thing that sets Two Corks and a Bottle apart from other wine bars in Dallas is the location from where the wine is fermented and bottled. At Two Corks, it’s all done right there in the Uptown shop. It only sells house-made wines, which sounds like a turn-off; people tend to put their trust […]
“TX TEA ROOM is a brand new bar, restaurant, and live music venue in Deep Ellum with a very familiar feel. Come by and enjoy cold drinks, darts, hot dogs, live music, pool tables, and the old Deep Ellum vibes that’s been missing from the neighborhood. For those that remember July Alley, The Prophet Bar, […]
Nothing says good times quite like live acoustic music in a smoke-and-alcohol-free environment that”s named after Protestant reformer John Calvin and happens to be located in a church (Northpark Presbyterian Church, specifically). But if you swing that way, get ready to punch your ticket.

If there’s a dive in Uptown, Uptown Bar & Grill is it. For nearly two decades, the bar has offered cheap drink specials and good burgers to the Uptown set. Neon beer lights cast a campy red hue over the thick tiled floor, on the outskirts of which sit tables where patrons order drinks and […]
Beat-up old tables, an inviting large patio and very cool shuttered booths make this shabby, homey little dive bar a cozy home away from home. Good beer selection, decent pub fare. Overall, not a bad place to bring a couple of friends for a laid back session of catch-up.
Fort Worth’s bike-friendly Fairmount Neighborhood on West Magnolia is one of the hipper places to hang out in Cowtown, thanks in part to The Usual, one of the few bars west of Dallas to offer a drink menu of classic and Prohibition-era cocktails. The bar’s interior has a modern, minimalist design with raw wood walls […]
You’d never expect music like this in a restaurant like this. Sure, lots of burger places tuck an acoustic guitar balladeer in the corner who plays Coldplay covers and largely goes unnoticed, but Vagabond curates real artists. When they play, they command the entire room. If the music is not your thing, simply head out […]

If Veritas Wine Room’s rustic, old-world décor and dimly lit, relaxed atmosphere make the wine bar and retail shop feel more like a pub than a wine room, it’s by design. Planned as a “VinoPub,” Veritas was opened in the summer of 2008 on Henderson Avenue. Boasting a revolving list of 350 labels of wine, […]
We don”t mean to play favorites, but this is probably the best place in the D-FW extended family to see a big-name touring act. Everything is top-freaking-notch; parking is a snap, the seats are perfectly positioned and comfortable as a recliner, and the staff is nicer than most grandparents. The concessions are reasonable, too. And, […]
