Oh, I forgot to post that I went to Whiskey Creek last weekend and there was a REALLY good lookin crowd. My date didn't like it though....he said the music was way too loud and he couldn't hear and/or carry on a conversation. Next time I'll just go with the girls.

Htowngirl: I know what you mean about Red Door....I have seen the soccer moms and last time I went there were a bunch of people there that looked like they just stepped off the set of a hip-hop video....I like all kinds of music, even hip-hop but it was just strange to see there. The Light has pretty good drinks too but is kinda hit or miss (I guess like most places) depending on the night you go.

drey00: I have NEVER ever had a problem at Red Door either and I have been going there for years. The door guy is the sweetest!! I stopped by last Friday night thinking I'd end the night with an old favorite and I did notice a couple of different things: !. It was definitley not as packed as it used to be. I remember when you literally could not move in that place.... I figured it was not as crowded though because of all the new places in the area 2. The crowd was really really different compared to any other time I had ever been Red Door still has the best drinks....in my opinion. I can have 2 or 3 and be ass-canned!

MidtownAg02: Do you know where Escobar is on Travis? Epic is across the street in a strip center and The Roof is right around there too. A38 is on Louisiana....it used to be Licor Lounge. I haven't seen XO Lounge yet....yeah I know what you mean about not being able to keep up!

Thanks! Hmmm The Roof sounds similar to Red Door (with the view and Jon Secada music) except I have never seen anyone that looked like they were "looking for a fight" at Red Door. =) Was it just a really young crowd at The Roof? Last Friday we started out at Pub Fiction and I thought a bunch of the people in there looked really REALLY young. (It's not like I'm old or anything - I just turned 27) Anyways, I'm happy there are more places to choose from....I was getting tired of the same ole places! Looks like I need to get out more....I haven't seen XO Lounge or A38 yet either so I'll have to check 'em out. Man, the tow trucks in MidTown have been getting everyone lately! They're like vultures....

We passed by Whiskey Creek last night (next to Escobar) but didn't go inside because it looked like no one was there. It's supposed to be an "upscale" country bar/club....just wondering if anyone has been and what it was like. I've been pretty busy with school & haven't been out as much so if you've been to Epic & The Roof I'd like to know what you thought about them as well.

Tela's on W. Dallas is pretty good. Has anyone tried Tilas's on Sheppard? I want to give it a try but always forget when thinking of restaurants. I think it may be Spanish though??

I agree 100%. It felt like a high school reunion or something.

Yep, I agree. Must have been like Kim. and Eelimon suggested (Labor Day weekend, school starting, rush week, ball games, more bars/clubs to choose from, etc....) at the time I started this thread. I have been out runnin the streets of Midtown like crazy since then and the scene has been sick!!!! I'm so glad! Where do you think the best places to be or be seen are on any given night of the week? (You don't have to just limit the answers to Midtown.)

Or has anyone else noticed the night life scene the past few weeks or so has slowed down just a little bit? Don't get me wrong I just came in a little while ago from going out (Midtown) and there was a good-looking/good sized crowd out (and I had a really good time) but definitely not as packed everywhere as normal. At first when the evacuees started to arrive my friends and I thought it may have something to do with it because some people we met when out expressed their concern with potential security issues etc. Then we thought maybe with the jump in gasoline prices people were staying home or closer to home to conserve fuel. Far fetched maybe since lots of places in Midtown especially are easily accessible on foot. But, just a thought. Maybe I'm just over analyzing and rambling because I'm still kinda tipsy....... any thoughts?

I just zipped by last night but there was a sign in the window that read something like "The Pub Coming Soon". It's kinda by the Calais. Does any one have any info or know what I'm talking about?
