Whisky Bar almost like backyard house party

On weekends, it's hard to differentiate the Whisky Bar from all the other Lower Greenville spots blaring Top 40 music out the door.
Thursday nights are a different story – the Whisky Bar is low-key and relaxed.
DJs play drum 'n' bass on the rooftop patio, and a fire blazes in a large, sunken pit. Patrons in T-shirts bob their heads and dig the music, which is cool to see, since drum 'n' bass isn't exactly mainstream anymore.

The only downside is the $8 parking fee behind the bar. Thankfully, Miller Lites and Bud Lights are $1 until midnight.
People trickle in and out of the Whisky Bar over the course of the night, so it isn't too surprising to find the first floor mostly empty on a recent Thursday around 11:30.
House music, which plays downstairs only, throbbed at conversation volume, and colored light circles bounced on the floor. A blonde woman with a tattooed bicep pumped her arm playfully in the air.
But the vibe there seemed a bit too club-like for our Miller Lite in plastic cups, so we wandered outside.
The first-floor patio enticed with a large, comfy couch. On the roof – be careful on that steep, narrow metal staircase – white lights ringed the perimeter, and a downtown skyscraper was visible in the distance.
Most folks there looked content sitting around the fire, clutching cups of beer. No one looked over 30.
It was almost like a backyard house party. No one even blinked when a guy next to the DJ grabbed the mike and started freestyling.

Plan your life
The Whisky Bar: 1930 Greenville Ave.; myspace.com/whisky bardallas
What to wear: On Thursdays, anything casual. On weekends, it's up to you.
What the music is like: Tuesdays, the 12 Inch Pimps; every other Wednesday, house from Sno White; Thursdays drum 'n' bass and house; Friday and Saturday, Top 40
Smoking: Yes
Cover charge: None, unless there's an out-of-town DJ
Bottom line: Go for the patio. Stay for the cheap drinks.

[Eric Scholwinski]

yeah, too bad they didn't mention any of our names lol.

honestly, the review sounds like it's for whiskey bar, not even the dj's of the night.

oh well, props to alvin and nicole for getting them to come out regardless.
