Dallas ain't all ten-gallon hats and tumbleweeds (although, you might just see one or two at a rodeo). This city boasts a booming social scene, and there's a watering hole (or coffee shop, mocktail bar, you name it) for every kind of thirst.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.

The Classic Cattle Drive: Belly up to the bar at a local hangout! Strike up a conversation about the Mavericks game (or, you know, the weather) and who knows, you might just meet your new best bud. Pro tip: Learn a line dance or two, it's a guaranteed conversation starter (and a good laugh, at the very least).

Thematic Hoedown: Feeling fancy? Hit up a wine tasting or a craft beer night. Feeling funky? Dive into a dive bar with live music. There's a themed social event practically every night, all you gotta do is find your flavor and mosey on in!
