Gilley’s Dallas

There’s been a lot of confusion surrounding Gilley’s ever since South Side Music Hall opened. The entire building is known as Gilley’s Complex, but the big question is: Which of the complex’s four venues is actually known as Gilley’s? Here’s the lowdown: Gilley’s is South Side Music Hall. It’s called Gilley’s when Country and Western […]

Glass Cactus

The massive complex in the middle of rural Grapevine known as the Gaylord Texan is home to one of the largest hotels in the DFW area. It’s a great one-stop shop for weekend getaways including shopping, spa treatments, food and entertainment — at the center of which is the Glass Cactus. The Western-style venue on […]

Hailey’s Club

Clean, colorful and comfortable, Hailey’s sports a pool table and two large bars, plus one of the best craft-beer selections in Denton, including local greatness from Rahr and Franconia as well as fine Belgian ales and rotating seasonals. Those are all fine reasons to go, but the main attraction is the live music on the […]
