Dive In, The Cocktails Are Just Fine
Local watering hole offers friendly, quirky atmosphere
If you don't scratch the surface, Dallas nightlife can leave you feeling trapped in a world of spray tan, fake boobs and obscenely white veneers (kind of like being married to Pamela Anderson). But for every fancy-pants lounge of VIP lists and $400 "bottle service," there are also places like Barbara's Pavilion where $400 might be the total decorating budget (think Trading Spaces - lots of painted MDF and "repurposed" decor).
Tucked away in a darkened corner of Oak Cliff is this jewel of a neighborhood bar. For years, locals called it "Open Bar" as the neon sign reading "open" was the only way to find it. But now it boasts a shiny marquee and an often-open front door that's symbolic of the type of reception you'll receive. So check the attitude, and get ready to talk to people aside from the ones you came with!
There's no DJ Sass-O-Frass up in this house either, just an Internet jukebox that plays an assortment of tunes about as eclectic as the bar's patrons. We were delighted to cue up a list ranging from Loretta Lynn's version of "These Boots Are Made For Wallkin'" to AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" (complete with an embarrassing air guitar solo with a pool cue).
And if the jukebox isn't enough to scratch the musical itch, stop by on Mondays or Thursdays for no-holds-barred karaoke madness. The more you drink, the better you sound, right? --Gay List Daily May 2008
“…, other great spots worth hitting include the wonderfully lesbian and gay–mixed and totally attitude-free Barbara’s Pavillion.” Outtraveler.com, August 2005
“Situated in the Oak Cliff neighborhood, Barbara’s Pavillion is one of Dallas’ most friendly and quirky bars. Touches of Tiki décor pepper the colorful interior; there’s an excellent jukebox, weekly karaoke, and a truly mixed age/gender crowd. Because Oak Cliff is a “dry” neighborhood, Barbara’s is officially a private club, which the staff makes as minimal a hassle as possible (memberships are free).” Passport, October 2005
"Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar."
"Abstainer: A weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure." - Ambrose Bierce
“Labels? Okay, fine. I'm bisensual. Heteroflexible. And life-curious. That about covers it.” ~Morgan Torva
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
FYI guys--The hard drive has been replaced for Karaoke and now we have access to ALL of the great songs that The Pav bought for us to sing! It took over four days, but the EXTENDED list is now valid and back up on the laptop so Come on Monday at eight to sing with me, or at nine on Thursdays to cavort with Todd.

You may want to pass this along, Clayton is organizing
I would like to say first of all, that I appreciate you for taking the time to read this message and to let you know that I have committed to walk in the Dallas/Fort Worth 3-Day Walk for Breast Cancer again. Last year, our team enlisted the help of friends and family to help us out and we exceeded our goal of $6600.00 which was a huge feat! So many of you donated not only your money, but your time, your encouragement, your hearts and stories about how cancer has in some way effected your personal life which made us work even harder for this wonderful cause. For our new friends that will be helping us out this year, we would like to explain what your support will provide. Several thousand others and I will walk 20 miles a day for three days in a row. We will “camp out” for two nights and raise millions of dollars for breast cancer research. As many of you know, Erin Sinclair, Karen Markham and I all three walked last year and this year I am proud to say that my brave mother, Susan McCracken will be joining us in the fight! As I mentioned last year, my Dad was diagnosed with Leukemia a while back and it is my hope that we are able to help contribute as much as we can to the fight to cure not only breast cancer, but all cancer! Net proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, to fund breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment, as well as the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund, to provide a special field of interest fund for breast cancer initiatives. Just like last year, I have not only committed to train and walk for this cause but also have committed to raise a minimum of $2200 and your help would be a huge help. Give as little or as much as you would like because every little bit helps! Please consider a donation to support me in this endeavor. There are a couple of ways to make your donation. You can make your check payable to the Breast Cancer 3-Day. 2) You may make your donation on-line at www.
[Glitterfy.com - *Glitter Text*] Sounds like a great, fun place you have there. Sorry it took me awhile to get back to you & thanks for supporting our site & music. Caroline
