Description

Promoted as the "Ultimate Latin Experience," Escapade 2009 is one of the largest -- if not the largest -- Latin club in Dallas that's not housed in a renovated big-box store. And that's even if you aren't counting the handful of other clubs also in the Escapade complex, which is so large that it's impossible to miss from Interstate 35 East. Flocking to the red glow of the club's massive "2009" sign every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night are waves of cars, trucks and SUVs flooding the massive parking lot of the 18-and-up club. The DJs on the Main Floor downstairs play a mix of hip hop, Latin pop and rock, while dancers upstairs glide around the many different dance floors of Club Arriba's sound-proofed rooms doing the merengue, salsa and bachata -- along with various other styles. At seemingly every turn there's another bar -- upstairs and down. And, upstairs, there's a pool room that's open to the Main Floor -- music and all. It's a great perch for people watching.

    Don't really know the logic behind this massive, longtime area favorite being named Escapade 2009, as it has been for some time now, but, hey, at least it makes it easier when saying things like, "Hey, Escapade, this really is your year, huh?" Nyuk, nyuk. But, seriously, there are like a bajillion Escapades across Texas, all with different years after their name. And with good reason: These places are clearly gold mines, if this one up near Northwest Highway is any indication. The place... More »

    Dear Ask a Mexican, What is the best Latin club in Dallas? I'd really like to get my salsa on.--Gringa Skin, Latina Heart Dear Gringa, Ay, Gabacha! What makes you think you can pigeonhole what "Latin" means now days? If we were to vote, we could choose that place Blue, downtown, because the block-long line to get in has always been full of Latinos ready to get their groove on, although the place plays hip-hop. But since it plays hip-hop and not Selena, or salsa, or merengue, we'll toss... More »

  • 2006 | Best Latin Club

    The parking lot is big enough for a Six Flags. The cavernous dance hall feels like a gutted Wal-Mart. This is a club so big and so popular that it's easy to get lost here. If you love to dance but feel stupid doing it, this is the perfect place to go. No one will notice. It's tough to single out one place as the best Latin club in town because Latin encompasses so many nationalities and musical styles, from reggaeton to hip-hop to salsa and merengue. But Escapade 2009 has a little bit of... More »

  • 2005 | Best Latin Club

    So there was this hot chick standing by herself at a watering hole in Dallas a while back, and we, thanks to liquid courage, decided to chat her up. At first, she reacted meekly to our drunk flirting, but after the formalities, the tall blonde cut to the chase. "This scene blows. My friends and I are going to Escapade--you should come with." Hell, she was so gorgeous that if she'd asked to go to the abandoned train tracks, we'd have followed, but luckily, Escapade 2009, located way out on... More »
