Time-Out

Yet again, another dive bar: The Time Out Tavern. By the looks of this place, my initial thoughts were don't touch anything and don't sit on the toilet seat. When a place has tennis shoes hanging from the ceiling and the Time magazine OJ "Murder" cover as decorations, you know it's gotta be good. Around 11:30 a guy walks through selling bbq sandwiches. Time Out Tavern is located on Lover's just past Inwood. The exact address is 5101 W Lovers LnDallas, TX 75209. They are open from 11AM-2AM.

I'm keeping this one in the book of options for when there's nothing to do and everything else seems boring. And the toilet is safe to sit on, ladies!

Delve Into A Dive

Some of the most fun bars are the ones that are off the beaten path. It might look like a hell hole, but it's at these places you make the most, or lose the most, memories! After talking to some friends the other night, not at a dive, we began listing good dive bars in Dallas. Most I have not been to, so I'm going to list them with some info, and I'll post updates on what I think once I check out these places. Get ready for cheap drinks and good times!

Bar of Soap - 3615 Parry Ave, Dallas, TX 75226-2053
*Open Daily from 12pm for the early boozers til 2am

Past Time Tavern - 1503 S Ervay StDallas, TX 75215
*Live music.
*Don't know much about this place, but I'll get back to ya on this one.

***The Slip Inn - 1806 Mcmillan AveDallas, TX 75206
I've been here several times!
*LOCK YOUR CAR! It's pretty seedy outside. When you walk in, the front part of the bar is pretty nice, comparatively. It gets really crowded. In the back area of the bar, people dance around and there's some booths. It's darker in this part of the bar and not as "nice" as the front part. The patio... think WT backyard complete with broken plastic chairs and broke down cars. It's a fun bar and even though the patio is kinda junky, it's awesome and the epitome of a dive bar. They play good music and in my opinion, there's not a stereotypical crowd. Pretty much anybody goes and it's cool.

Give me some comments if you've been to any of these places or if you know some additional dive bars! PS I'm especially interested in the cheap drinks!
