City StreetsThis is Fort Worth's greatest multi-venue entertainment complex. There is actually five clubs under one roof! ATLANTIS is a dance club with a nautical-theme featuring hit music from the 70s and 80s. STRAY CATS: has keyboard comedians duelling and audiences participating in singalongs. THE BLUE MONKEY LOUNGE is a karaoke bar. CAGES has the current Top 40 contemporary dance music along with a multi-level dance floor. EASY STREET DELI features a full service bar and coffee drinks. (425 Commerce St.).J&J Blues BarJ&J Blues Bar is tucked away in a little corner of Ft Worth. A well known spot for Blues and R&B fans. Looking more like a large tin shack, inside you will find a cosy atmosphere with table and chairs (with room to move) and a bar. Flashy old neon signs and gaudy advertising add some colour and for conversation, an assortment of bra’s dangle from anything they can find...

Fort Worth

by keeweechic

Booger Red’s Saloon is interconnecting with the restaurant. It is named in honour of the legendary Texas bronc-busting champion Samuel Thomas Privett (1858-1926). The bar has been a Stockyards District institution since 1984 and features Fort Worth's most complete selection of tequilas, the one-of-a-kind 'Anita-Rita' margarita, a vast selection of cigars, wines and spirits as well as domestic and imported beers. The saloon's most popular drink is the 16-oz. Buffalo Butt Beer, named for the rear end of the mighty beast which is prominently mounted in the centre of Booger Red's bar. Each frosty bottle of Buffalo Butt Beer is served in an iced bucket.

Dallas

by keeweechic

If you're expecting to see big hats, steel guitars and fiddles, you will find them here but Dallas also sings the blues, folk, jazz, rock and roll and heavy metal. There are comedy clubs, piano bars and nightclubs. The West End is a great place to hang out, sit outside, have a drink and listen to the orchestra of different sounds from the various bars. Planet Hollywood is also in the West End.The American's Airline Centre hold many concerts and other events like Barnum & Bailey Circus, Ringling Brother, Disney on Ice and the Harlem Globetrotters. The complex seats 19,200 for basketball, 18,000 for hockey and 20,000 for other events.

Austin Blues

by keeweechic

Austin is also known as the Home of the Blues. A wonderful mixture of music oozes from nightclubs and bars and the restaurants are plentiful and excellent as well. Sixth Street - is one of the main streets for Austin’s nightlife. There is a wide variety of bars, dance clubs, comedy clubs and live music venues.

Warehouse District: Warehouse District

by darthmilmo

Another Austin favorite... the Warehouse district is the trendy place to go out in Austin. You get what you pay for... although a bit more expensive, the atmosphere is more sophisticated than the party scene in Sixth Street. I definitly recommend it!

Six Street: Six Street

by darthmilmo

The memories, or lack of them :). Austinites unite during the weekend to party at the relaxed sixth street. This is were most of the college crowd and young people go to have fun at weekends. On the plus side it's cheaper than the trendy Warehous district nearby.

River Walk: River Walk

by darthmilmo

The River Walk boast tons of night clubs, bars, and restaurant. It's the tourist destination of choice in San Antonio so I highly recommend it to y'all. There are plenty of places so shop around to see what suits you.

by richiecdisc

The best beer selection and a great time as well can always be had at The Gingeman. It's become a chain but these two are particularly fun: Austin's is at 304 W. 4th St. and Dallas' is at 2718 Boll St.

6th Street! 'Nuff said!: 6th Street! 'Nuff said!

Austin is the 'Live Music Capital of the World', you want to see a live band come here. Several play at different venues and different clubs along 6th. You want to go dancing too, pick a club there are many to choose from. Casual to hip!

by Basmom

Because I live close to Austin, I would have to say that this is THE place to be! There is 6th Street and many other clubs and restaurants w/ bars to be and be seen at!I think that Ivory Cats Tavern on 6th Street is a total blast! But there is also Austin City Limits Theatre where Austin City Limits is televised. They don't call Austin the Live Music Capital of the World for nothing! Casual or Dress to Impress...whichever you prefer!
