Bandera Dallas

Old-school country-style bar and music venue for Red Dirt bands passing through town. Shiner and pizza (delivered from DiTerra’s and Greenville Avenue) is the name of the game, so don’t expect to sip any lavender martinis.

The Mansion Restaurant Dallas

The Mansion is a Dallas icon, and dining there is like sharing a meal with a grande dame. The menu changes with the seasons, but tortilla soup is a year-round staple. The clubby bar is a treat of its own, with wine chats, live music on weekends, and the unshakable feeling that you might meet some rich someone who could sweep you off your feet (and take you upstairs to one of the fancy-pants rooms).
