Dallas Bars & Clubs
The Balcony Club
Type: Jazz Bar
Location: Northeast Dallas
Price Range: $$
Amenities: Live Music
A little adjustment to the atmosphere here and you're transported back in time to when Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra would sing songs your grandmother would have enjoyed mixed with modernity (think the film "Swingers"). The ambience makes the Balcony Club one of the best jazz bars around, and with stiff drinks and great music, you'll leave feeling satisfied. Just remember to use the handrail on the steep stairs!
Cosmo's Restaurant and Bar
Type: Lounge/Restaurant
Location: Northeast Dallas
Price Range: $$
Amenities: Jukebox, Movies, Pizza
Excellent pizza for a bar and great service make Cosmo's a favorite for the hip crowd. With a cool retro feel (think 70s kitsch) and a warm and fuzzy atmosphere, anyone will feel right at home here. They make a killer martini here, and many excellent variations on the gin or vodka theme, including chocolate martinis. The bartenders and wait staff are always right on top of your refill, and the total package means busy times on the weekends, so get there early.
Dragonfly

Located in the Hotel Zaza, the Dragonfly is a swanky mellow lounge that features great drinks and excellent service.
