"No place screams gay Dallas more than the Round-Up Saloon. Opened back in 1980, the queer honky-tonk bar is where sequin-clad drag queens, bedazzled cowboy boots, and the city’s LGBTQ+ community come together for cheap tequila sodas and line dancing under a disco ball. The main yeehaw action happens on the floor and newcomers can even stop by on weekdays for dance lessons ranging from beginner to Beyoncé-themed classes. Take a break from the studs by chilling upstairs on the rooftop patio or in the front room with pool tables. There’s ton of options for people-watching, whether it’s friends celebrating a birthday by dressing up as television villains or the flannel-wearing managers making sure nobody’s messily stumbling onto the dance floor." - Gabe Bergado
