Dallas’s oldest LGBTQ+ sports bar, Time Out Tavern, is where you go to watch the game without anyone making a fuss.
You’ll find it on West Lovers Lane, a low-key spot that’s been around forever. It’s a sports bar, yes, but it’s also just a bar, a place to hang out with friends, where the fact that it’s LGBTQ+ friendly feels as natural as the beer taps.
Everywhere you look, there’s a flat screen. You won’t miss a play. If you’re not glued to the game, you can shoot pool, play shuffleboard, or queue up some tunes on the jukebox. There’s a patio, too, for when you want to take your drink outside. The whole place feels easygoing, the kind of spot you can settle into for hours without feeling like you need to be "on."
For LGBTQ+ visitors, places like this offer a real taste of local Dallas, a welcome contrast to the bigger, flashier nightlife spots. Check their website, totdfw.com, for what’s happening. It’s an unpretentious alternative to a big night out, whether you care about sports or not.
