214-939-9900 | | | | | 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.

214-828-9488 | | | | | 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.

214-828-1144 | | | | | Description: GREENVILLE AVENUE. This rustic Greenville Avenue bar looks like an old hunt club inside weathered wood and brick walls, pieces of taxidermy, and a pressed tin ceiling and it certainly attracts more than its share of trophy headshots. In fact, strutting isn't an unfamiliar practice at Suede, and the music (the house DJs spin house, disco and techno) always tends to frenzy the young and beautiful 20-somethings. Themed nights, bikini contests, "hump day" dance parties, karaoke nights and summer-time live music series there's always something to get the crowd revved, and the bar offers up great drink specials every night.
