Sfuzzi
2533 McKinney Ave, Dallas - 75204
(214) 953-0300 • www.sfuzziuptown.com
The Inside Scoop: In April, restaurateur Robert Colombo, head of the Dallas-based La Reve group, which owns Playboy favorite Trece, re-launched Sfuzzi’s, the upscale Italian chain he co-founded in the late ‘80s. His innovative restaurant was one of the first places in town to introduce modern foodie concepts like putting arugula on pizza. At one point, Sfuzzi’s had 21 branches in Addison and Uptown Dallas, as well as California, New York and Colorado. When the chain changed hands in the mid ‘90s, it went bankrupt.
Now they are back, though, and better than ever with a bumpin’ night time crowd.
The Night to Go: Monday night, they have half-price pizza. You have to try the Frozen Sfuzzi, their signature drink. It’s like drinking a cold peach Jolly Rancher.
The Music: Hip-Hop, Latin, Pop, R&B
The Hotel Capri
2020 Greenville Ave, Dallas - 75206
(214) 370-9944 • www.thehotelcapri.com
The Inside Scoop: The Hotel Capri is modeled after a chic bar you would find in a boutique hotel. Their motto: “Eating… Drinking… No Sleeping…”
The Night to Go: This has to be the cheapest club to go to on a Saturday night. They have $4 wells and $3 shots. This always seems to be the spot for liquor promotions. Call ahead any night of the week and see if they have anything free. You might be surprised how often it occurs around here.
The Music: Rock, Hip-Hop and R&B
Rok Republic
2922 N Hall St, Dallas - 75204
(214) 740-1111 • www.rokrepublicuptown.com
The Inside Scoop: Rok Republic is one of those places where you can eat, dance, mingle or just chill out in a booth…without paying a ridiculous bottle service fee. Stone and wrought iron, leather furniture and a patio with a view of the happenings on McKinney Avenue make this a must stop on your bar-hopping night. If you go for the food, try the Rok Burger, with onion rings, bacon and prosciutto. Now that’s a manly meat-filled burger.
The Night to Go: Tuesday. Someone from the 12 inch Pimps crew will be spinning and they don’t concern themselves with over-played pop.
The Music: Hip-Hop, Pop, R&B, Rock, Techno

The Dragonfly at the Hotel ZaZa
2332 Leonard Street Suite A, Dallas, TX 75201
(214) 550-9500 • www.hotelzazadallas.com
The Inside Scoop: Some walk about the lounge socializing...others grab a table and satisfy their appetite. Plus, they have an extensive 150-bottle wine list and sometimes even a few cigars on hand. Rock stars are always staying in the hotel so keep your eyes peeled for the likes of Steven Tyler, Ashlee Simpson and lesser-known stars like Britney Spears.
The Night to Go: Thursday, which is their “Neighborhood Night.” From 5 p.m. until close, guests can enjoy well drink specials and a selection of appetizers from the Dragonfly menu for $5 each. The Jalapeno Peach Martini is a blend of sweet and spicy and the jalapenos floating on top usually starts a few conversations with your bar mates. If your hungry, the Kobe Burger is a sure-thing every time.
The Music: Rock, R&B, House
