anywhere along Live Oak, Bryan, Gaston, Lower Greenville (past Ross) or Lakewood. If price is a factor, try Casa Linda.
But if you realllly want to get away from the superficial scene, then Bishops Arts is the place. If you want a $14 martini, someone will have to mail it to you.

Lower Greenville / East Dallas-Lakewood - your headquarters should be Lakewood Landing, Pour House, Snuffers, Stan's Blue Note, Blue Goose and perhaps Ozona.
Knox-Henderson - stay on the Henderson side - Old Monk, Vickery Park, Barcadia
Southside/Cedars - Lee Harvey's
Bishop Arts/Davis - mosts places but The Quinn Bar would be good..you could also go up to Jack's Backyard off Fort Worth Ave - the NEW Lee Harvey's...
You can find non-pretentious places around Uptown and Downtown as well - it does take a bit of looking..The Gingerman can be pretty casual.

Ozona, Barcadia, definitely younger crowds.
Seriously even as a late 20-something I feel that I've matured out of those places.

The loon is a pretty cool place that isnt trendy or fancy. They have SUPER strong drinks there too.

Great, I appreciate the suggestions so far. I just have to look and see where these places even are. Is Bishop Arts close to transportation and are the places close to the city? I know Knox-Henderson is. Close to White Rock could be cool too, since I'd like having that access to nature. Also, I know someone who'll be living around there and being close to people I know would be nice. 
Good to hear, though, that Uptown is more of a "trendy" place, so I know to avoid it. I'm 31, so places with older couples wouldn't really be fun, but 30s and early 40s would be cool. |

UpTown has plenty of down to earth friendly people there from my experience. Its very walkable and close to nearly everything you need, give it a chance.

I think you are right, UpTown and I agree about Addison.

Has anyone been to Blue Collar Bar across from Barcadia? They have a new deck and this hilarious old Ford Econoline Van painted with the logo.
