Floor-to-ceiling windows afford fabulous views of the city, and a glass-floored deck provides vertigo-inducing glimpses directly downward. Sleek environs, classy cocktails, and steep covers create the sense of a private club, all played to a soundtrack of electronica and house grooves. |

Description:
DEEP ELLUM. Despite the name, you won't find lounge lizards holed up at this eclectic, high-energy club, where the weekend calendar depends on who's manning the DJ booth. One Friday, urban and hip-hop may hold sway over dance-floor denizens; the following Sunday, the lounge may host a fetish ball. Indeed, all genres of music get the limelight. Goth, classic industrial, R&B, rock – if you're into it, Lizard Lounge is the place for you! And if the action inside gets too heavy, a rooftop deck is perfect for catching a quick breath. |

Finally, Level Heaven, awash in white, is a sleek aerie that boasts its own DJs, an angelic waitstaff, and an accommodating circular bar. Higher even than Heaven is an exclusive mezzanine bar known as Upper Heaven – its tables must be reserved in advance. |

Description:
UPTOWN. Thomas Avenue Beverage Co., or TABC as it's known to regulars, is located in the heart of the bustling Uptown area.

Casual, relatively quiet atmosphere and a good jukebox. |

Description:
UPTOWN. Old pharmacy shelves and decades of charm serve as the calling cards for this old school Uptowner, which has been in operation since the early 70s. Thankfully, the recipe – outstanding Sunday brunches, live music, an award-winning juke box and terrific martinis – that made the place such a success in the early days hasn't been forgotten. In fact, one might argue that they've even been fine-tuned some. And here's an interesting trivia tidbit: The bar was originally named the Stoneleigh Pharmacy but had to change handles due to an old city law requiring all pharmacies to be licensed. |

Description:
DEEP ELLUM. Although Deep Ellum arguably functions as Dallas's cutting-edge district, parts of it maintain a long-standing commitment to simpler times. Take, for example, a honky-tonk like Adair's, which has been popular since 1963. The digs (in the early days, it was on Cedar Springs Road) and faces may have changed over the years, but other aspects haven't. Adair's remains a rustic haven for folks who like to swill brew, listen to live music, and munch on good burgers. For history buffs, too, the joint holds an allure, courtesy of a jukebox loaded with classics by Hank Sr. and Bob Wills, along with hundreds of framed photos and graffiti. |

|
Distance:
~0.95 mi * |

|
|
|

Description:
DEEP ELLUM. The folks who make up this professional comedy troupe never fail to leave audiences rolling, and their act is a terrific reason to go out for the evening. Indeed, fans of improv have been heaping praise on Ad-Libs since the group first tread the planks back in 1986, and their completely unrehearsed routines have certainly caused more than a few sides to split over the years. If you go (and you should), keep in mind that comedy isn't something done to you ... the cast needs and thrives on audience participation. |
