10Best Bars
Sambuca Uptown
(Nightlife - Bars)
2120 McKinney Ave, Dallas  75201 • 214-744-0820
Distance: ~0.47 mi *
        Description: UPTOWN. Hip, popular Sambuca pulls in lots of business, thanks to its lively ambience and fun-loving clientele. A supper-club feel means that you'll be comfortable nibbling and drinking, listening to live music, showing off your style on the dance floor, or just relaxing with friends while jazz suffuses the place. Among the dishes you'll want to try are miso-glazed sea bass, Asian-style shrimp fettucine, and Jamaican pork tenderloin.

Ghostbar
(Nightlife - Bars)
2440 Victory Park Ln W Dallas-Victory, Dallas  75219 • 214-720-9909 • 214-720-9919
Distance: ~0.50 mi *
        Description: VICTORY PARK. A sibling of the Vegas original, this swanky hotel lounge is a see-and-be-seen paradise. A velvet rope policy ensures that only the upper crust gets in, and it's without doubt that you'll catch sight of a few celebrities from the entertainment and athletic worlds. 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.

Thomas Avenue Beverage Co.
(Nightlife - Bars)
2901 Thomas Ave, Dallas  75204 • 214-979-0452
Distance: ~0.81 mi *
        Description: UPTOWN. Thomas Avenue Beverage Co., or TABC as it's known to regulars, is located in the heart of the bustling Uptown area. Definitely has a neighborhood bar feel, albeit a high-disposable-income-hood. Also serves a good burger and chicken sandwich, and has a nice patio to relax with a beer. Casual, relatively quiet atmosphere and a good jukebox.

Ginger Man
(Nightlife - Bars)
2718 Boll St, Dallas  75204 • 214-754-8771
Distance: ~0.87 mi *
        Description: UPTOWN. Set in a quaint house, the Ginger Man features an outstanding collection of imported and domestic beers as well as a large selection of international wines. On-tap beers number over 70, and the bottled varieties total over 100. Indeed, the pub outdoes itself by offering rare Belgian ales, British and German beers and local microbrews. An upstairs lounge, balcony and an inviting outdoor beer garden that often features live local talent give the place added appeal.

Stoneleigh P
(Nightlife - Bars)
2926 Maple Ave, Dallas  75201 • 214-871-2346
Distance: ~0.91 mi *
        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.

Adair's Saloon
(Nightlife - Bars)
2624 Commerce St, Dallas  75226 • 214-939-9900
Distance: ~0.94 mi *
        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.

The Bone
(Nightlife - Bars)
2724 Elm St, Dallas  75226 • 214-744-2663
Distance: ~1.03 mi *
        Description: DEEP ELLUM. Although The Bone has been around for years now, it still draws quite a crowd. Its rooftop deck is huge, and you'll find plenty of eye candy for both sexes in the hot singles spot. During the week, things are more low-key, and folks usually groove to a great variety of musical acts. If the weather's good, bands play outside on the roof starting at 5pm. A separate room has pool tables and a good jukebox.

Elm Street Bar
(Nightlife - Bars)
2812 Elm St, Dallas  75226 • 214-653-1668
Distance: ~1.05 mi *
        Description: DEEP ELLUM. Gimmicks are hardly necessary to pull folks into this laid-back dive, where regulars eschew showy entrances in favor of meeting up with friends, shooting pool, and sharing a few pitchers of brew. Elm Street Bar was definitely not founded on kitsch – its soul is pure rock and roll, a fact which the much-revered jukebox attests to. Bands are usually booked each weekend, and drinks are always reasonably priced.

Elbow Room
(Nightlife - Bars)
3010 Gaston Ave, Dallas  75226 • 214-828-9488
Distance: ~1.05 mi *
        Description: DEEP ELLUM. Elbow Room is a great place to start the night, especially if you're in the market for a good jukebox, shuffleboard, and a few games of pool. Although the bar looks small from the outside, it has several rooms and is a great place to either belly up to the bar or grab a table to hang out with friends. Typically, the crowd is low-key, and sometimes patrons come straight over from work at Baylor Hospital down the street. You'll find a nice selection of beers and premium liquors.

Gilley's Dallas
(Nightlife - Bars)
1135 S Lamar St, Dallas  75215 • 214-421-2021 • 888-445-5397
Distance: ~1.17 mi *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. In addition to live Country-Western acts, this spacious honky tonk books everything from boxing to fashion shows. Owned by the award-winning entertainer and recording artist, this enormous venue was modeled after the equally Texas-sized original in the Houston suburb of Pasadena. Stop in either Friday or Saturday night – you're bound to find a big-name headliner on the stage and a rowdy good time.
