Zephyrs Patio Lounge - CLOSED

Zephyr's Patio Lounge is spacious inside and out, with plenty of room for dancing on its wide-open dance floor, hanging out at the long full-service bar or relaxing out back on the huge open-air patio. The patio -- surrounded by trees, bedecked with lights and featuring another bar -- is one of the most underrated hangouts in Dallas. Not that the place isn't popular. Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, Zephyr's attracts a college-age crowd with drink specials like $1 wells until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. Inside DJs drop Top 40 hits and local D-Town hip-hop hits while folks dance or lounge around on cushy leather seating in the corners. The lounge can be booked for private events all other days of the week. Smoking is allowed out back.
