Dallas / Nightlife / Lounge


 

Darkened atmosphere and private booths make for a romantic location. Features jazz piano and some blues acts, and is popular for an after-movie nightcap considering it is adjacent to Lakewood Theatre.

 

Like the name implies, Barley House has a great selection of brews from around the world. But it’s also the place to hear cool Texas music four nights a week – not the sweet, dusty trail songs from Roy Rogers’ era, but twangabilly rockers with those scrunched up battered straw cowboy hats. Too cool.

 

Sports stars from Dallas professional teams love to pop into Blackberry’s which features Latin music (salsa/meringue) two nights a week and more mainstream disco and hip-hop on other evenings. Patrons apparently spend all day Saturday shopping for that perfect outfit to wear that night, the club’s weekly main event.

 

Fighting with Blackberry’s to attract the coolest of patrons, Club Babalu is a smaller nightspot that nonetheless attracts national touring hip-hop and salsa ensembles for live shows amid the canned music. Very popular among the Latin clientele.

 

Actually a power-brokers club by day and disco by night, it’s a place to sip expensive cognac or designer martinis and wish that you had that woman over there on your arm. Though the DJs can spin some high- intensity techno and house, it doesn’t ward off older clientele who want to be part of the scene. Wear anything from posh to casual, as long as it’s cool.
