What People Are Saying About Club Babalu

In Short – It's high-tech versus the Romans for decor. Aluminum backdrops, steel railings and electric-blue lighting are set among plaster columns. Cocktail tables, a DJ booth, and an exhibitionists' stage surround the dance floor snugly. The crowds are friendly and plentiful, though at times a bit forward. Salsa and merengue are very popular. Waiters are on the ball and the drinks are worth the price.

Editor's Tips

Look Good:
Wear your tight pants, low-cut tops and plenty of hair gel and you'll fit right in (and that's not only for the ladies).
Save Money:
Rock en Espanol every Sunday night.
Know Before You Go:
Be careful on the stairs. The club is multileveled, and the dim lighting makes it difficult to see.

Pretty cool club!!!!

by lova2003 at Citysearch

Okay this club is for the just want to dance person,

They play hip/hop, mostly pop, reggeaton, and cumbia....the first night I went was very cool I was dancing all night. The dance floor is too small and it gets packed on Saturdays. It's a great place for the right crowd that like the music that I just mentioned. They also charge about 15 bucks for ladies....but overall it was okay.

  • Pros: great music and reasonable drink prices
  • Cons: small dancefloor, too crowded, high cover

Cover Charge not worth it

by phcoll at Citysearch

Wednesday night cover charge was $20. This is higher than any other club in Dallas. They want your money and don't care about you afterwards. The music is mostly hip hop.

Not cool.

by nikkster at Citysearch

This is the worst club I've been to. It's small and revolves around drama. Did have a personal experience that made my birthday not a great one, but overall this place needs to go.

  • Pros: The police outside were cool.
  • Cons: They just want your money in and don't care about you afterwards.
