Specifically this is for the day before the Alabama v Michigan game. Needing to set something up for Friday afternoon/night. We are staying in Downtown dallas.

Do any Bama fans know about concerts/comedy shows that are in town that night? I cant find anythign of note on PollStar.

Good restaurants/sports bars we need to check out? We will want to watch the Tennessee Game that night. Also open to some nice restaurants.

TIA

- Whoop Michigan's arse

- Laugh at Michigan fans

- Laugh at Texas fans for the 09 title

- Laugh at aTm fans for thinking they'll be relevant in the SEC

- Laugh at Auburn because no matter where you are it's always fun.

Go check out the bar called The Den, Friartuck is pretty cool too. Knodding Donkey and Sfuzzi also are fun.

Very little to do in Downtown, but Uptown (Mckinney Ave) is about a mile north and an easy taxi ride. Go to bars like Renfields, Idle Rich, Blackfriar, the Den, Trophy Room.

Katy Trail Ice House is a must for day drinking (Friday afternoon or any part of Saturday you have open). It is a few blocks off of McKinney. Probably the most "Texan" bar in Dallas; huge outdoor patio area, lots of tables, misters, lots of good beer on tap.

Really all there is to "do" here is drink, eat, look at tail, and watch sports.

Dowtown pretty much sucks. Stay away from the Victory Plaza area. People say it was cool 20 years ago, but it is dead down there. You need to go uptown around McKinney Ave. if you are looking for good restaurants and bars.

The Old Monk (on Henderson) isn't too far for a cab and has a very laid-back vibe with a good selection of beer. They have a patio, good pub food and it isn't douchey. It's where I got to meet up with friends when I'm in town.

I went to where JFK was shot. Very unique thing to go and see. Everything is closer together in person than it is on videos. They also have a museum on the sixth floor where JFK was supposedly shot from.

Go to Mckinnny. Meet random dude at the bar that is hitting on one of the girls you are with and end up at a sketchy underground mexican after hours club drinking till dawn. at least that's what I do before games in dallas. Just beware the old mexican lady at the door she can be a real bitch if your up moving around to much by the door.

You can pretty much find everything on the above site.

I've been in the bar/nightclub business in Dallas since '94. Here would be my top recommendations at different areas in downtown.

Knox/Henderson area
Food/Drinks: Victor Tangos, Fireside, Hacienda on Henderson, Old Monk, The Porch.

Sports bar - closest thing would be Jakes or The Porch

Lounge/Club: The Dram, Rio Room

Mckinney Ave :
Food/Drinks - Sfuzzi (food is Ok but the scenery is great), Standard Pour, Idle Rich Pub

Sports bar - MAT

Lounge/Club - Avenu, Hotel ZaZa pool(tons of hot chicks here, but def dress up)

Main St area
Food/Drinks - Iron Cactus, Ravenna, Charlie Palmers inside Hotel Joule

Sports Bar - 10, One Eyed Penguin

Lounge/Club - Cameo (thursday nights is a must), Plush, Empire Rock Bar

STRIP CLUB - Baby Doll's. Over 100 girls nightly. Crazy in there....


DO NOT go to lower greenville or Deep Ellum. Not what it used to be and it is a ghost town down there now.

Top Golf. There are a few locations in the area. https://topgolf.com/dallas/

Hit up downtown Fort Worth. Much better area for drinking, bar hopping, and eating proximity wise. I always have a blast there. And there are nice places to eat there like Texas De Brazil.

Also the JFK museum is cool if you like history and is right downtown.

You need to expand your search parameters.

"Dallas" includes the following cities:

-Arlington
-Fort Worth
-Euless
-Granbury
-Lewisville
-Irving
-Carrolton
-Richardson
-Farmers Branch
-Grapevine
-Plano
-Frisco
-Allen
-DeSoto
-Mesquite
-Garland
-The Colony
-Flower Mound
-Duncanville

I know there's more I'm leaving out.
