One Night Backstage at Texas’s Legendary Rose Room | Eater

"A sprawling LGBTQ dance club on the Cedar Springs Road Strip in Oak Lawn that has long anchored Dallas’s queer nightlife, this late-night destination combines a high-energy dance floor and roomy bar (a longtime spot for cherry vodka sours) with a parking-lot social scene and an upstairs performance space. The venue draws a diverse, devoted crowd — from bachelorette parties to leather-scene regulars — and functions as both a party destination and a community gathering place that has weathered decades of cultural shifts, protests, and political pressure while remaining a sanctuary for patrons and performers alike." - Amy McCarthy
