Adair's Saloon

Sure, the drinks are cheap, and the burgers are phenomenal, but what lassos most folks into this Deep Ellum dive is its unpretentious vibe and a weekly roundup of free music. We're talking the cream of the country music crop of upcoming bands. Even heavy hitters like Jack Ingram, the Dixie Chicks and Miranda Lambert have taken to Adair's tiny stage at one time or another. Add in an old jukebox filled with the likes of Bob Wills and Hank Williams, plus floor-to-ceiling graffiti and enough Christmas lights to last a lifetime, no wonder this spot has been able to maintain its staying power for over fifty years.
