Bill’s Hideaway

One of the things about Dallas that make me glad to live here. Bill's Hideaway at night: Great live music, friendly people, reasonable drink prices, never a cover charge (but be good and feed the tip jar on the baby grand), lovely garden patio out back. Denise Lee, Buddy Shanahan (great jazz pianist, along with being able to handle just about any genre), Liz Mikel, Anton Shaw, Amy Stevenson, Mark Mullino, Gary Floyd, Peggy Honea and others (still sadly missing William Blake, who's hopefully knocking folks dead up in New York City)--these are fantastic performers!

Fridays with Denise, and Sunday open mic (especially when hosted by Liz or Denise) are fab, especially when cast members of one of the tours at Fair Park Music Hall drop by, or the Turtle Creek Chorale has a concert and members drop in afterward. Folks drive hundreds of miles to come to Bill's, or arrange flight layovers on the way from coast to coast, and I doubt they'll ever kick out drag queens or trannies. Any city would be lucky to have this place, and we've got it, so thanks, Bill's folks!
