Isn't Deep Ellum a fun neighborhood? Sounds like it in the Dead song.

Everything sounds good in a Dead song.

kunk, I'll do you first. You're more limited. Los Colinas is basically a business district, so there's not a lot of good bar/fun options. It was basically set up as a corporate wasteland b/c it's very close to the airport, but this is where I would go:

1) Bar: If you want to venture from your hotel bar, Glass Cactus in Grapevine is supposed to be awesome. Terrell Owens had his birthday party here. It's far from Dallas, so I don't get to go too much.

2) Tex-Mex: If you want more upscale Tex-Mex, try Los Lupes. If you want more divey, you can try Mercado Juarez. Both of these are in Irving, which is really close to Los Colinas.

3) Titty bar: I've actually never been to a titty bar here (only in Vegas), but Baby Dolls is supposed to be the gold standard. The catch: It's a little far for you. Dallas is the only one that allows titty bars. Irving (and Las Colinas) are actually totally dry- you can't even buy beer at a gas station.

David, I'm leavin' to go out, but check back tomorrow!

thanks much. i'll actually be in irving so this is handy info.
