Sue Ellen's
Sue Ellen's, Throckmorton Street, Dallas, TX, USA
Sue Ellen's has been a staple in Dallas' queer nightlife since 1989. It's an icon that stands among many of the city's other most popular LGBTQ+ clubs and is advertised as a predominantly lesbian bar. Sue Ellen's hosts live bands throughout the week, karaoke on Mondays and dances every night beneath the compulsory disco glitter ball. On Sundays, the bar is more relaxed, and people gather to play skeeball, pool and darts, or hang out on the patio.

Mr. Misster Dallas
Mr. Misster is a unique old-world setting with a modern twist in the form of vibrant plush seating, soft lighting, and a hint of glamour. As the night progresses, the space transforms from a sophisticated bar and lounge to a lively spot serving a menu of signature cocktails and other favourites. You can begin and end your night here any day of the week, as there are cocktails on tap on weekdays and events with live DJs on weekends.
Round-Up Saloon
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.
Tin Room
Located a few blocks from the bustling Oak Lawn area, The Tin Room attracts a predominately gay crowd with its dance floor, drink specials and themed party nights. This strictly 18+ club has an underground feel thanks to its eclectic look, tucked away location and most importantly its dancers. Hot go-go boys take turns entertaining patrons seven nights a week, so for an indulgent and exceptionally gay time this is the place to be.
Pekers
Pekers in Oak Lawn has remained the friendly neighbourhood bar for many years. Being so central to the gay scene, Pekers is popular with locals who pop in for a drink and a chat, particularly for happy hour where attractive bartenders serve drinks that regulars claim are the best in town. Occasionally there is live entertainment as well, and the Friday and Saturday night karaoke is especially popular.
Alexandre's
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.
JR's Bar & Grill
JR's is a huge and iconic space that's been serving the local queer community since 1980. It's a staple in Cedar Springs and always busy, and you'll even find people dancing here in the middle of the afternoon. Thanks to the constant crowd, the vibe is buzzing across JR's multiple levels and it's become a destination for visitors from all over the country. Located on the crossroads of the gaybourhood, JR's outdoor balcony is great for relaxing and people watching.
