Best Straight Bar for LGBTs

Sure, we say The Grapevine is a “straight” bar, but who’s to say that’s for certain? Is the crowd mixed? Definitely. But let’s not call it gay-friendly, just everyone-friendly. Located on the edge of the gayborhood, it’s an unassuming structure, but inside is a warren of fun decor, sunny patios, billiards and basketball hoops. With its wide-ranging happy hour (with signature frozen drinks like the Tangarita, made with — yup — Tang) and kick-back vibe, it’s the definition of a neighborhood hang. Or gayborhood hang. Whatevs. Don’t try to label it, just chill with the eclectic crowd. The Grapevine is the least “Dallas” thing in Dallas.
