Ships Lounge
Ships Lounge is a Dallas Dive Bar establishment. Part myth, part legend, Ships is a drinkers bar. Ships Lounges is not your typical Lowest Greenville bar. At Ships, not only can you bring your own bottle of liquor (they only server beer or boxed wine), but there's a strict no-swearing policy. Ships is known for it's rockin' juke box, and for the owner's penchant for buying rounds of drinks for bar patrons.
Ships Lounge has been open for almost 50 years, and the decor almost hasn't changed one bit in that time. Be sure to go to Ships with a few close friends, and not a large group.
Fallout Lounge
The Fallout Lounge is the epitome of a Dallas hipster dive bar. Located in the heart of Deep Ellum, the Fallout Lounge frequently has good DJ music, a relaxed atmosphere, and very cheap drinks. Come down to Fallout when you're in the mood for a unpretentious night with some good drinks.
Cosmo's
Cosmo's is what many would call a hipster dive. Old movie posters, VHS tapes and a rockin' jukebox make this bar worth a trip to Lakewood.
Lakewood Landing
Billed as an "upscale dive", Lakewood Landing offers well-priced comfort food and beer on tap. Part of the Lakewood Trifecta.
