Seconded. Lived there for a summer out of college with my parents. Deep Elum is fun, strip clubs totally rock there and have very hot chics, head over to Fort Worth and the Stockyards and really get your "country" on. That place is crazy, but again, hot cowgirls everywhere.Quote:

i lived there for 12 years. there is great eating in dallas. As far as places to go to hang out or drink. Addison is really the best place for bars. My fav is a place called Sherlocks, 5100 Belt Line Road, Addison,972.661.0774. On sunday nights its $2 you call its. Normally pretty busy alot of people and a band. Theres also a few other bars in the area that are good too.
If you are in the downtown area, your prob going to want to be in the west end. Thats where most of the stuff happens. Thats about the long of the short of it, dallas sucks for the most part.
SuPu, at least you are not stuck in Alliance, NE (the location of my next project) where their claim to fame is Carhenge, there are only 3 bars in town, none of which are titty bars.

Ah, Dallas. Lived there for 7 years before moving to Colorado. The land of spending 125% of your income.... Hmmmm, all there really is to do in Dallas is eat, drink and hookup. One thing to remember, the women of Dallas are much more impressed if you say you are a Tax Attorney or Plastic Surgeon rather than a 14er climbing outdoor guy who can kill mountain lions with his bare hands. Often, they'll ask 1) what you do, 2) what you drive and 3) what your name is.... in that order. Remember, Dallas has a 3 to 1 female to male ratio and most of the women are hunting for prospective husbands. Also, outdoor recreation in Dallas means going to a strip mall or golf (monumental waste of water IMHO) and extreme sports are what their Bubba husbands do with ATVs when they "commune" with nature.
Some of my favorites places in Dallas where you are apt for find more authentic people:
The Dubliner - good Irish pub. They actually shipped two existing pubs from Ireland to make this joint. Not touristy. Decent place to hookup.

The Cock and Bull - another good Irish pub though it does sound like a redneck gay bar from its name come to think of it. Small pace. Used to have great food when I was there. Not a good place to hookup. There was a good jazz club (The Balcony Club) behind it when I lived there in '99. Authentic jazz not some fru fru mak e believe jazz joint. They usually have a good band there.

Cafe Madrid - Great Spanish restaurant. Get the oxtail stew.

Oh ya, Dallas has some of the best topless joints around. I was never big on them but seemed to end up there after business dinners.
Cabaret Royale - Nice place. Lots of drunk Japanese businessmen and the occasional lady checking out some boobs. Nicer joint.

The suburbs are disgusting. Rampant consumerism and chain restaurants. Avoid if possible. Downtown has a resurgence in the past 5 years from what I hear. Lower Greenville Ave. was always a good place to bar hop.
Ooohhh that reminds me. You need to go over to Ft. Worth, and go to Billy Bob's just for the culture shock value. It's a huuuuuge honky tonk, something like 3 concert stages, countless individual bars, and an inside rodeo rink. Been at least 10 years since I've been but hell if you're in Texas might as well right?Quote:

And still S Florida is 10 steps ahead of anywhere in TX: hotter chicks, real latin influence (not little mexico), and of course actual surfing.
Best thing to do in TX???
LEAVE
Austin kicks Florida's ass, anyday. SICK mt. Biking, crazy great food, and hot, horny college chicks...22,000 of them.Quote:

Florida, ha, I'd rather live in Uzbekistan.
Edit: I agree, Austin does kick ass.
Only been there twice. Make the journey to Billy Bobs. As far as eating Kirby's is a great steak house. If you are up for an hour and a half drive the holiday Inn in Ardmore, OK has karoke on Wednesday night that gets the bar pretty crowded. Never been to the Stockyards but have heard there are many options there for whatever you want to do. It's not much but all I know about the wasteland.
Joe T. Garcia's in Ft Worth for some good mexican food.
I dunno about "Surfing" in FL - there's one spot that's good (Sebastian's Inlet,) and that usually only goes off about once a month. Honestly Hatteras has better surf IMHO, especially if you don't mind wearing a wetsuit.
That said - if you can't have fun partying in South Beach or Key West you are either dead or your dick fell off. Yes Austin may be "cooler" due to more outdoorsy activities, but it's semi-pro at best in the food & Drink comparison.
Supu all I can say is that bar none: Dallas is the place where I've had the most fun on corporate bottomless expense account fueled junkets.
I do not remember the names of any establishment I ever went to but I do know that every one was either in D/E or Gville. :)
"Holy dog shit. Texas? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy. And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?"

Yah the steak and barbecue (and I don't even normally like barbecue) in the Dallas area are pretty hard to beat. Might as well enjoy it while you there.Quote:

Now, for titty clubs. My favorite was Baby Dolls, my buddy swore it was a front for a whore house, but whatever. If you want to drop the $$$ The Lodge is the place to go, it's where Rodman spent alot of time when he was playing in Dallas. Don't get lured into the fully nude clubs, there isn't any client-dancer contact allowed, and they're BYOB with a high setup charge.
There used to be some cool clubs down in Deep Ellum, but I've heard the area has changed alot since I left.
Have you ever been to DC, Steep?
SuPu, haven't been here (haven't been to Dallas in 15 years), but the reviews are excellent:
