1. Barbara's Pavilion, a low-key Oak Cliff dive that's been around for over 50 years, leans into its retro charm with karaoke nights on Thursdays and Sundays plus burlesque shows the third Wednesday of each month. The kind of unpretentious neighborhood bar where your bartender might already be a regular and the jukebox pulls everything from '70s disco to contemporary hip-hop.
