Thirsty and looking for the best bars in Dallas? You’ve come to the right city. The Big D is home to a ton of excellent watering holes of all sorts, and their bartenders are ready to hit the spot. Bar hopping is particulrly fun in Dallas, because the pours are so big. If you don’t know what a Texan pour is, then just take your regular cup and double it. That standard goes for almost everywhere, whether you’re doing dives and speakeasies, or glistening hotel rooftops and lounges (some of them even serve champagne in wine glasses, because the flutes are too small!). It’s no wonder Dallas’ nightlife is always thriving, packed with bodies eager to take full advantage of such generosity. Texas may be covered in desert and cacti, but in Dallas it’s more like dessert and cocktails. Poolside soiree, stiff whiskey, or creative concoction, come experiment and get merry at the best bars in Dallas. RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in Dallas
