Bandera is Lower Greenville's newest addition, and it's definitely a welcome one.  Bandera Bar is far from the typical, noisy, sticky, crowded and boring lower greenville bar (sorry, Sofranos).  Bandera has a decidedly country feel, as the owners were going for a "red dirt" style venue.  Bandera features live music and a tasty lineup of bar food.  We highly reccomend Bandera to anyone who wants a change of pace during a night of Lower Greenville drinking.

They call themselves a classic Texas steakhouse, but they're anything but.  Located in Irving (we don't venture out that way too often!), Cadillac Ranch offers their visitors diverse, palate challenging menu items like venison chili and wild boar chops.  By featuring local ingredients, Cadillac Ranch is an intriguing choice if you're looking for a unique menu, and good atmosphere. 

The Lotus Bar is a classy establishment located in the Uptown neighborhood of Dallas. The Lotus Bar is known for it's upscale atmosphere, and features two bars, one inside and one on the outdoor patio. According the the website, The Lotus Bar features the upscale atmosphere of a "see and be seen" club, with the neighborhood appeal of the local pub.

That said, be sure to watch out for the valet parking. Normally, it's only $8, but if you forget to get your ticket validated by the bartenders inside, your valet service could end up costing you a whopping $100. You've been warned.

The Quinn Bar is a Oak Cliff establishment that bills itself as part neighborhood bar, part European pub. With a menu that focuses on entrees for less than $10 (wow!), a stellar jukebox and an awesome patio, we don't care how it's described - we're sold!
