The Lounge

This small, charming lounge is a quarter-century-old and located in the art deco Inwood Theatre. It's also smoke-free.

====================================

Bring out-of-towners to this un-Dallasy Dallas bar inside the Inwood Theatre: "See, see, see!'' you'll sputter. Not quite the locus of Monday night hip it once was, but so what. There is much to savor: the sedating water wall, even more sedating (usually perfect) martinis, the 1940s murals high overhead, the smell of popcorn next door, the nonchalant, pierced servers and crazy-quilt music, a back room made for hatching Bolshevik plots. Favorite sit: the tables for two next to the window that faces the theater's downstairs auditorium.
