    Quick. Where do grey-haired men, SMU sorority girls and sports fans meet? Why it's this dive bar. As the night wears on, darts, game watching and karaoke give the denizens more reasons to stay--and to booze.

  2. 2 Thrive

    Guests will have a fun time digesting all the eye candy in here, from the LED lights to the pretty young things crowding the VIP lounge. Don't forget to look up, where the fllickering ceiling puts the party people in a trance-like state. Or is that the cocktails?

  3. 3 Bella Bar

    Some nights, it's hard to get your group to agree on just one location. One friend prefers cocktails, the other a lingering meal fit for foodies. This stylish boite answers both tastes, starting as a place to indulge dishes like truffle soup and Scottish salmon, then morphing into a late-night hot spot complete with girls in short dresses and guys in shiny shirts.

    1924 Greenville Ave, Dallas, TX 75206 (map)

    If you live in dusty Wranglers and boots and love Red Dirt music, then you'll be at home at this local bar. By last call, you'll be scootin' and drinkin' like a true cowboy.

  5. 5 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Plush

    1400 Main St, Dallas, TX 75202 (map)

    An international roster of DJs and see-and-be-seen clientele make it very tough to break past the velvet rope. But once you're in, expect to be rewarded with a dazzling light show and a bumpin' dance floor.
