Best Proof Oak Cliff Doesn't Go To Bed At 10
Award Winner 2011

Hours: Sun, Sat 12pm-2am, Mon-Tue 5pm-2am, Wed-Fri 3pm-2am

Description

Phillip Jester, former GM of Lee Harvey's, and business partner Ken Arkwell purchased this 42-year-old northwest Oak Cliff watering hole from longtime owner Dennis Wood in September 2009, assuring regulars that he wouldn't change a thing. But despite promises that Tradewinds' bar staff and its revered biweekly karaoke night would remain intact, neither has proven true. D&D Karaoke, the beloved karaoke team featured in "Dallas's Most Authentic Dive Bars.", has been replaced by the hipster-pleasing DJ Mr. Rid's Scaraoke. Hours have changed to shut out morning drinkers, and the crowd is decidedly younger and hipper. But if that's what it takes to keep Tradewinds' doors open--and bring edgy live music such as Darktown Strutters and Museum Creatures to Oak Cliff--so be it.

Unfortunately, almost all of them close by 10 or 11 p.m., leaving little to do for night owls (like the people who work at those restaurants and shops) and giving the appearance that North Oak Cliff rolls up the sidewalks well before midnight. But if you want to keep the candle burning after the yuppies head back across the river to stop... More »

You want to watch a movie How about two Well, they start at 8:15 p.m. (or so) Wednesdays at Tradewinds Social Club. (Hence the name Tradewinds Cinema Club.) George Baum--master of the turntables in late-night watering holes like Lee Harvey's--serves as the TCC master of ceremonies and creates weekly themes such as French flicks (Amelie and Delicatessen) for Bastille Day and "Really Bad People" Movie Night (The Bad Seed and Touch of Evil).

Dallas's Most Authentic Dive Bars

By Jesse Hughey | Thu, November 12, 2009

The bar door swings open, and orange sunlight, hazy with cigarette smoke, briefly lights the sparse, dingy environs. On the hardwood bar top, a half-dozen dice tumble from a Yahtzee cup, landing close to a smudged envelope stuffed with cash. Near ... More »
