I feel fortunate to have experienced the Dallas Club Scene in the early 80’s to early 90’s during my college and post college party years. Early memories of Confettis, On the Air, Video Bar, Tangos (dancing frogs on the roof), and then the Starck Club came along and became arguably the most cutting edge and electic club that Dallas and all of Texas for that matter has ever had (I remember ecstasy was sold at the bar and the colorful characters that always hung out in the Bathroom lobby and the random crazy videos in the restrooms) Then Deep Ellum revived as I remember when it was only Club Dada and Club Clearview (I attended the initial keg parties In the original building that eventually evolved into Club Clearview after they got an official liquor license). Knox Street Pub (playing pool in back room), Stans Blue Note, Stoneleigh P, the ultra preppy Boardwalk Beach Club near SMU, 2826 in deep Ellum was rocking in the early 90’s during Texas OU weekend. Borrowed Money on Central and Cowboys on Garland Road for your urban cowboy “meat market” I know I’m missing many but it is a start
