Dallas’ Twilite Lounge has made a name for itself as one of the premier music and bar venues in Deep Ellum. Since the opening of its doors, the dive bar has become a go-to place for live music performances as well as karaoke.
The bar opened in 2013 as a project of Dallas’ KTCK-AM — “The Ticket 1310" former radio DJ Danny Balis and Slobberstone guitarist Jess Barr. The pair wanted to create an easygoing atmosphere with good vibes and libations different from their other Deep Ellum counterparts.
The bar’s New Orleans-inspired patio, 1920s wallpaper, and vintage bookcases lean into the neighborhood’s musical history. The lounge has two stages on the inside and outside of the establishment, and often hosts local acts including jazz musicians Shelley Carroll and Ryan Thomas Becker. The venue still hosts many performances which are posted on their website.
