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....

A Deep Ellum legend, Dada is the place where Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians got started back in the late 80s. Dada may have the best patio in the city, with trees and benches in the back of the club. The music is eclectic, but the musicianship is always strong. Open mic night on Sundays at 9pm.

The Curtain Club has established itself as one of the best "sounding" venues in the city. Both local and regional alternative rock bands love to play this room. It's not a big place, but the sound man knows acoustics. Usually three bands per night. The crowd is a mixed bag of young and old, but definitely music fans. You must be over 21 to enter...

"Quirky" barely skims the descriptive surface of this club, which has all the style and charm of a mobile home. Don't let the kitsch drive you away though, because Double Wide promises to be one of the more memorable nightspots you'll visit in the Big D. And while the decor is certainly trailer-park, there's nothing trashy about the scene, even if...

In addition to live Country-Western acts, this spacious honky tonk books everything from boxing to fashion shows. Owned by the award-winning entertainer and recording artist, this enormous venue was modeled after the equally Texas-sized original in the Houston suburb of Pasadena. Stop in either Friday or Saturday night – you're bound to find a...

Hip, popular Sambuca pulls in lots of business, thanks to its lively ambience and fun-loving clientele. A supper-club feel means that you'll be comfortable nibbling and drinking, listening to live music, showing off your style on the dance floor, or just relaxing with friends while jazz suffuses the place. Among the dishes you'll want to try are...

Laid-back and plenty of fun, this lodge is operated by the Sons of Hermann Association. It books an eclectic mix of entertainment so that on Wednesday nights, you'll find swing dancing while Thursdays showcase acoustic jam sessions, and happy hours (5pm-8pm) draw big crowds on weekends. The place has been around since 1911 and has hosted a variety...

Although The Bone has been around for years now, it still draws quite a crowd. Its rooftop deck is huge, and you'll find plenty of eye candy for both sexes in the hot singles spot. During the week, things are more low-key, and folks usually groove to a great variety of musical acts. If the weather's good, bands play outside on the roof starting at...

To stand out on Dallas's live music scene, a place really has to be special. The Hideaway – perhaps the city's most politically incorrect piano bar – certainly meets this criterion. Popular with gay men, the bar delivers a hilariously fun lineup of show tunes, jazz, and ad-libs each night. Moreover, great drink prices usually ensure that activity...
