Description

There's a little bit of mystery surrounding the name of the East Dallas bar Strangeways. The bartender will deny that it was named after The Smiths' record, Strangeways, Here We Come, but the bar's décor and music selection would suggest otherwise. The industrial look of the interior - raw wooden walls, concrete slab floor, and harsh, low lighting - is reminiscent of a bar one might find in the band's hometown of Manchester. Same goes for the playlist, most of which is taken from the British new wave and dance movement of the 1980s. The industrial theme ends, though, when you get to the menu, which features a wide range of rare craft beers and elevated bar food.

  • 2012 | Best Bar Music

    It's hard not to feel as though you're walking into a Manchester pub when you step foot into the East Dallas bar Strangeways. The exposed concrete walls and wooden rafters lend to the industrial British atmosphere, but what really sets the mood is the music that breathes life into the gritty space. An impressive mix of The Smiths, New Order, Joy Division, The Jam and others blast from the speakers located above the beer taps. The drinks are strong at Strangeways, but few things are more...

  • 2012 | Best Place to Hear an Obscure '80s Synth Band While Drinking Craft Beer

    Isn't that what we all really want? A place to hear a Grauzone song while drinking PranQster out of a goblet? This dive is what East Dallas needs more of, a reappropriated space (it looks like it might have been an auto body shop at one point) that has a dizzying beer selection, provides a moping place away from Deep Ellum or Uptown and plays the Smiths at least three times a night.
