Best Live Music Venue

Dallas' most hilariously awesome theme bar is, without a doubt, the Double Wide. True to its name, the interior of the bar is set up like the inside of a very seedy double-wide trailer. Bad paintings of nude women from the ’70s and weird stuffed creatures line the wood-paneled walls. The patio floor is made of green artificial turf, the patio chairs are toilets, and the small concert venue showcases some of the best local and national rock bands. The establishment boasts a bona fide concert room with a capacity of 75 (and there's another bar in there, by the way), and it's one of the best rooms in town to catch a show. Really, though, the Double Wide transcends both the "bar" and "venue" tags; for much of the Dallas music community, the Double Wide also serves as a home of sorts. Stop by the place any night of the week for proof. Whether there's a show or not, you'll find a whole cast of local musicians at the spot, shooting the shit, tossing back some drinks and reveling in one another's company and camaraderie.
