Balcony Club, Dallas

Balcony Club is a great place if you are of an older crowd. A friend and I, in our mid-twenties, are jazz fanatics and decided to go out one evening and enjoy good music at Balcony Club. Our bartender was not polite to say the least. The overpriced drinks and service was poor.

I love the place, and the bands that play there. But its so smokey, that you should bring your inhaler, oxygen mask, and a change of clothes.

A classic throwback to a lost time. A small, smokey jazz bar, with music every night of the week. The crowd is eclectic. It's where local musicians go to sit in after their own gigs elsewhere. Get dinner on the patio at Matt's El Rancho next door, and after a few cervezas stumble up the stairs to the Balcony Club. Great martinis and friendly waitstaff who've been there for ages. Sit on the balcony to enjoy the weather and hang with the musicians during breaks. Sit at the bar for the best view of the band up close. Or sit in the dark booths in the back for some quality time with your date.

This is the place to go if you just want to get away from work and the stresses of it or meet that special someone I know I did I fell in love.The music it is so peaceful and the people are friendly they do requests and the big o martini every one should try
