Although Cedar Springs has a large number of gay bars and restaurants, there aren’t actually that many places to dance.
That is why we’ve found ourselves going to more straight bars. Here are our three favorite straight bars in Dallas right now:
1. Beauty Bar
1924 N Henderson Ave, Dallas, TX 75206 / Website
Who knew that chain dive bars were a thing? Beauty Bar is a bumping place in the Knox/Henderson neighborhood of Dallas. It’s a nail bar during the day, and a dance club at night.

Beauty Bar is a small, single-room place with a retro setting. (It actually reminds me a lot of Liquor Lyle’s in Minneapolis.)
