Cross Faded Barbershop

Bars and Nightlife in Dallas-Fort Worth

"From the sidewalk, it looks like an unassuming retro barber shop, but if you wander past the paying customers you’ll find a door to another world. Well, not really. It’s a door to Dallas’s coolest speakeasy. In a city that has its fair share of speakeasies, High and Tight is a cut above the rest. Aside from a great hiding spot, what really sets it apart is not its craft cocktails (although tasty) but its live music. Deep Ellum is the city’s music center, and High and Tight often draws talented acts for intimate crowds. If you’re looking for a new hairdo the barbers aren’t bad either." - MATADOR_NETWORK

"It’s hard to tell that behind this Deep Ellum three-chair barbershop business there’s a really fantastic bar. During the day, cuts and shaves come with a free beer. At night, down a winding hall, a large, dimly lit back-room bar offers Prohibition-era-inspired cocktails and a stage where local musicians play everything from country rock to rap. The off-menu special—a vaporized shot of vodka—is potent and, oh yes, worth trying. "
