Dallas 

Bars 

Cedar Springs After Dark
4026 Cedar Springs
Tel: 214-219-1099
TX 75219
It's a sort of upscale piano bar. Live entertainment every night except Tuesday.

"This little bar tucked away in a strip mall is a real charmer. Its atmosphere is more like a dim, elegant, quietly chatty bar in New York than anything else you'd find in Dallas, and we mean that in a nice way. Owners Bradley Johnson and Andy Krumm opened this establishment on April 7 of this year, and already it's become one of the favorite watering holes of the Oak Lawn set. Serious money was spent on the interiors, furniture, and, most especially, the lighting (which makes everyone look no older than 30!). It has a valet parking service to make parking a little easier for its patrons. But the real reason that people keep coming back is the fantastic music they play seven nights a week till 2 a.m. The singers (including veteran favorites Linda Petty and Sandra Kaye) and musicians playing in this tiny bar keep the atmosphere lively but intimate.

Pub Pegasus

Tel: (214-559-4663)
A great neighborhood bar. One of their best features is that they are a sing along piano bar. Sing-a-longs happen Friday nights from 8:00 PM to 1:00 AM and Sunday nights from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM. You don't need a great singing voice to participate, you just need lots of enthusiasm and a willingness to have fun. They've got a book, called the "HIM-book" at the bar with lots of songs from Hello Dolly to Patsy Cline. Also of note is that this bar is filled with friendly local people. Oh and they have a pool table too. What more do you need? :-) MAP!
