Havana

This long time favourite has been a staple in the Dallas gay scene for 50 years. Its karaoke is the best in the city and incredibly popular, drawing crowds every Thursday and Sunday for a good old sing along. Aside from karaoke, there are other events on offer throughout the week from movie viewings to potluck, so you'll find something different every time you walk in the door, plus you can enjoy a range of beers and cocktails.

Arguably one of the city's best and biggest gay dance clubs, this spacious multilevel club boasts an amazing sound and lighting system which draws a young crowd who like to let go on the huge dance floor. If you need a break, you can relax the balcony or watch the party from a VIP lounge. Great DJs provide the music, and there are also events such as gay bingo, costume contests, and amazing drag shows.

Round-up is a large country and western dance club with a total of twelve fully stocked bars and plenty of hot cowboys, so even if you don't love country music you can still enjoy yourself! The space doubles as a dance hall that hosts lessons in line-dancing, plus charity events and themed nights. Premium tequila is the speciality drink here, with a great range to choose from and an amazingly old school mixed crowd to enjoy it with.

Liquid Zoo is a friendly neighbourhood sports bar where everyone seems to know everyone's name. In the early evening, the bar doubles as a restaurant, serving home-made burgers and other traditional but quality pub food that's always popular with the regulars. By night you'll find crowd singing along to show tunes and enjoying the karaoke, and a real sense of community that's helped by the familiarly antique decor. Drag brunches are also especially popular and very camp!

Tucked away in an intimate spot in Oak Lawn, this happening venue is definitely worth a visit. Nights here feature great live music, lots of drink specials, and a crowd of loyal regulars, so it's no surprise that Alexandre's is so popular. This cosy yet stylish space has a particular buzz on weekends, and the cabaret shows hosted here are sure you keep your night upbeat and suitably camp.

Everyone is always welcome at Dallas Woody's, the friendliest sports bar in Dallas. You can stop by seven days a week to catch the game on one of the many TVs or check out the extensive line up of live entertainment. There's karaoke, show tunes sing alongs, and comedy, and a great group of regulars and staff to enjoy your time with in a place where everyone knows your name.
