Texans are proud to say that everything is bigger in the Lone Star State.  One visit to “The Strip,” the center of gay life along Cedar Springs Road, and you will see what we mean.  The nightlife venues are gargantuan!  Every place has at least one outdoor patio.

The concentration of gay life is also very convenient, allowing you to park once and visit several venues throughout the night.  The biggest spots are the Round Up Saloon, recently nominated as one of the top gay bars in the world by TripOut, and S4, which is right across the street. S4 is a mixed crowd, but it’s so gay that even the straight boys are confused. The club has an outdoor patio, an enclosed and basically soundproof chill area, a giant dance floor with kinetic lights, and the Rose Room with drag shows every weekend.

Surrounding these nightclub behemoths are 7 bars to whet your whistle: TMC, JRs, Sue Ellen’s, Havana, Woody’s (Is there one in every city?!), the Drama Room and Alexandre’s.  In a 30-block radius, there are several other popular spots, like Kaliente, the Tin Room, BJ’s NXS, the Eagle, and Joe/Brick’s Bar.

The Big D’s Big Gay scene makes it a solid place to come for a gay holiday, or a regular ol’ holiday with a shade of gay.  The vibe on the strip during the weekend is one of revelry, where it’s easy to make friends with the mostly inebriated.  Dallas is an entertaining and relatively affordable place to party and a very pleasurable destination to get your gay on!
