Great info thanks to all contributors for this. I'll be on a short stopover in Dallas in July (17th) staying at the Adolphus or some such name... 3 questions for the locals or those in the know....
1. Is the hotel ok?
2. Is it far from any nightlife?
3. Is there a bar where the clientele is more my end of the age spectrum (40-ish... ahem!) than teenybopper?
THX for the advice

Main street (1 block north) has several restaurants and bars (straight) and some nice restaurants. If you are downtown visit the original Neiman Marcus.
As one in your age group may I suggest the Roundup (western) or Eagle. JR's or Woody's could be fun as well.
Oaklawn avenue is about a 10 minute drive north of downtown.

Hmm I think I'll have to try Roundup and Kaliente, just because they're two experience that you won't be able to match in London!
Some practical questions about DFW nightlife please...
1. What time do people go out usually?
2. Are people big on checking IDs? Usually I use my UK licence and it's ok but I know in some cities (I had a lot of problems in SEA for example), they'll only accept my passport.

If you look young you will be carded. 21 is drinking age.

Adophus is an historic downtown hotel quite upscale, with high tea and all. Built by Adolphus Bush of the Budwiser fame.

Away from Cedar Springs Rd
Is there any gay life away from Cedar Springs Rd? I recently moved to DFW and live way up north in Frisco so it's a pain going all the way near downtown Dallas for the gay scene. Is there anything in North Dallas, perhaps in Plano?

Question for OP...
Do you like watching scantily clad young ladies picking up $20 or $50 bills with various body parts? If so, I have determined there is much for you you to enjoy in Dallas.
