Alexandre's, Dallas

About Alexandre's

Alexandre's is the Cedar Springs bar for a night that doesn't involve a dance floor. An Oak Lawn fixture since 2004, the small room runs live music nearly every night — a rotating lineup of local singers and players moving through rock, jazz, blues, and Broadway — with craft cocktails and the intimate feel of a neighborhood jazz lounge. It draws an older, more conversational crowd than the clubs down the strip, the kind of place where you can actually hear the person next to you. Sundays bring Cher-E-Oke, the bar's long-running singalong, and a recent kitchen means you can settle in for the evening. If the thumping rooms aren't your speed, Alexandre's is the quieter, warmer corner of the gayborhood — best for a slow drink and live music rather than a late-night dance.
