Description

The Elbow Room, which sits on the outskirts of Deep Ellum near Baylor Hospital, has been relatively immune to the nearby nightlife district’s ups and downs over the last decade. Even though it’s still within earshot of Trees on a loud night, this neighborhood bar has a much mellower atmosphere. The raw brick interior lines the walls, giving the bar an urban vibe while one of the best jukeboxes in town fills the air. If you’re hungry, Goodfellas, the adjacent restaurant next door, will deliver right to your table inside The Elbow Room.

Movie Night at the Elbow Room

8:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. every Sun.

The venue channels Mystery Science Theatre 3000 as its screens movies and offers food and drink.

2006 | Best Place to Pick Up a Doctor

Temporally and geographically, Dallas is not so close to the 1849 California mining rush, it being 2006 and Texas and all. But if it's gold-digging that needs doing, Dallas is definitely the "can do" city. Weekends see hundreds of poor, helpless, Gucci-unadorned boob jobs bobbing about Medici, Sense and the whole of Addison looking for a thick-wallet-wielding beau.

2003 | Best Bar to Pick Up a Doctor

There are many reasons to admire this Gaston Avenue watering hole. Good cold beer selection, great shuffleboard table, killer juke, tasty pizza next door, etc. But what distinguishes it for us is the fact that it's always loaded with loaded doctor types. OK, maybe not doctors, but inside there are always plenty of young, nubile, employed men and women in scrubs from Baylor hospital next door. More »
2001 | Best Place to Put Money in a Jukebox

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know. The Stoneleigh P has a better jukebox; says so in our 1997 "Best of" ish. So does the Metro Diner just down the street from the Elbow, at least if you like Muddy Waters with your coffee and smokes at 3 a.m. So do half a dozen other joints around town. It all depends on what you like, what you feel like hollering over, what you feel like grooving to before you land that pickup line with the precision of a spastic gymnast. Whim dictates we give this to the Elbow,... More »

Nice little place nestled north of Deep Ellum and west of Baylor. Good tap selection, nice wines, great pizza. Happy hour bonus? Hot doctors and nurses. And shuffleboard.

With pool tables, dart boards, shuffleboard & a few arcade games, this is a great place to go with friends if you want a little more than just a great bar to hang out and drink at.
