While the Dallas elite has always prided itself on the city's sophisticated cultural offerings including the Symphony Orchestra and the summertime Shakespeare in the Park series, you can also enjoy a more casual evening of nightclub hopping in "Big D."
Easily the trendiest area in town, Deep Ellum is an east-end area of converted commercial buildings and also the site of Dallas' original blues scene in the 1920s. The longstanding Club Dada here offers live sounds from modern rockers several nights a week.
You can make laundry night a night on the town at the Bar of Soap, a hip combination nightclub and laundromat. The Bone features soft rock and cover bands several nights a week. Stop by Poor David's Pub for a casual evening with live music from acoustic to rock.
Greenville Avenue in the northeast part of town is packed with places to eat, drink, and listen to music. Jazz lovers will want to take in Terilli's for its smooth music in a smooth Art Deco setting.
To kick up your heels to country and western, go to Cowboy's Red River Dance Hall. They promise a huge dance floor, a fine house band, and occasional big-name concerts.
For laughs, the Backdoor Comedy Showcase in the Arts District features established and up-and-coming stand-up comedians Thursday through Saturday nights, with at least eight performers each night. If the spontaneity of improv is what you're looking for, check out the antics of the Ad-Libs comedy group.
Complete listings of club activities are available in the Guide section of the Dallas Morning News.
