Put in $1 and you'll get three songs, but why would you do that when $2 gets you seven? Cue up some Ernest Tubbs to go with ELO, Fleetwood Mac, the Pixies or Big Star, grab a Lone Star and celebrate your impeccable taste in music from the comfort of the patio, because hell yes the music plays outside too. And if any bar in Dallas gets it right, it's Lakewood Landing. Put Some Tunes on the Jukebox at Lakewood LandingĪ jukebox - a real, honest-to-goodness one with CDs or records and pages that flip - is most at home in a dive bar.

You can take an improv class here, too, and it's the site of the annual Dallas Comedy Festival, which serves as a showcase for hot comics on the way up in the biz. Head to the relocated Deep Ellum institution if you want to catch Dallas' best up-and-coming stand-up comedians (who might one day become big names) trying out new material and honing their acts. 5624 Sears St., 46.ĭallas Comedy House isn't where you go to see a big-name headliner, but that's what makes it good. It'll hold 40 people before the party really crashes. They don't take reservations per se, but if you're really determined, you can rent the whole treehouse for 3 hours at $1,500. The Truck Yard is packed on weekends, so your timing is going to have to be just right to snag a spot here. From this bird's-eye vantage point, the people-watching is especially good. At this adult playground with a laid-back atmosphere, you can kick back with a beer, a mighty fine cheesesteak and even buy snacks for the squirrels. So maybe there's only one treehouse bar in Dallas, but it's still the best. Have a Drink in the Tree House at the Truck Yard In our otherwise pancake-flat North Texas landscape, this trail offers some of the best up-and-down hiking in a natural setting. The trail runs for 10 miles on the north side of the lake (30 miles northwest of Dallas), where you can also find lakefront camping, kayak rentals and other outdoor activities.

The steep terrain around Lake Grapevine is popular with mountain bikers, but its rocky curves make it an equally challenging spot for hikers and joggers (just watch for the cyclists). Take a Hike at Lake Grapevine (pictured at top) To make sure you cover all the bases, we dug through the Observer's 2015 Best of Dallas issue and compiled all of the essential activities for the season.

These are the months we get to drink on patios, take bike rides and duck into movie theaters to take advantage of their air conditioning. But we only get to complain about the heat for so long before it's time to change tack and complain about even more heat instead, so let's all agree to buck up and get out there in it.

In case you missed the memo sent in the form of a sauna-like climate, summer is here.
