Hat Tricks Sports Bar & Grill

Owned by former Cowboys special teams coach Joe Avezzano, Hat Tricks boasts that it’s the best small live music venue in North Texas. Not surprisingly, America’s Team paraphernalia lays claim to most of the wall space, which surrounds a large central bar, pool tables and video games. The bar has a regular base of mostly […]

Hole in the Wall

Exactly what you”d expect given the name: kind of out-of-the-way and tiny as a circus-sideshow attraction. There are few better places in the area to get the blues (or a burger) than Hole in the Wall, where local legend Hash Brown hosts a jam every Wednesday and Kenny Traylor plays every Thursday. Come in the […]

House of Blues

Generally speaking, if something’s happening at House of Blues, you know it’s big. This temple of sound housed at the White Swan Building in Victory Park has enough room for 1,625 patrons. Folks in the music bizz often rub shoulders behind the ropes of the VIP area, scouting for the next big thing. This is […]

JR’s Bar and Grill

Located on Cedar Springs in the Oak Lawn area, this popular bar has been remodeled and expanded three times since its opening in 1980.

For the past few years, under the vision of current owner Edwin Cabaniss, it’s become a concert destination for music stars and up-and-coming locals alike. While the […]

La Grange

La Grange is one of the newer places in Deep Ellum’s ever-growing bar scene. The relaxed vibe and the wooden interior make it a great place to grab drinks, catch up with friends, or watch one of Dallas’ up-and-coming bands. The place is new in town, but there are already regulars who are big fans […]

Lee Harvey’s

With its throwback wood-paneled walls and old-school neon beer signs, Lee Harvey’s is the pinnacle of dive-bar excellence. A Dallas institution, this ol’ watering hole is exactly where you’d want to go to knock down a few cold ones after a long week of work. Don’t have a hot date? No problem. Bring your pup […]

The Library Bar

The Library Bar sits on the ground floor of the Warwick Melrose Hotel in the Oak Lawn area, not far from downtown Dallas. Designated a Dallas Historic Landmark in 1983, the original hotel was built in 1924.

Liquid Lounge

The Liquid Lounge, the Curtain Club’s much smaller kid sister, operates out of the same building as the big club. But where Curtain doesn’t offer much beyond a band and a beer, the Liquid Lounge has a few more time-wasting options. The upstairs balcony has a pool table and a handful of classic arcade games, […]
