What can I do in downtown Dallas on a Thursday night at 11PM?

Question

going to be stuck in Dallas for about 2hrs while riding Greyhound buses. I will have roughly a 2hr wait before getting to leave on the rest of my trip. I used to work downtown years ago, but sure things have changed so need some ideas that are safe. I know the area isn't one of the safest to just walk all around

Answer 1

You could go to "Church".

It's what is normally the lizard lounge but it is goth night.  Though I myself am not a goth, I find it interesting to be around them every once in awhile.  Since they are normally on the geekier side, they are also very kind.. and the dress is pretty interesting.  Also, goths can't dance so you don't feel like an idiot.  

Don't feel the pressure to dress "goth".  There are all ages and all types at those things.

They are open til early morning as well.

Answer 2

Depends on your age.

18-25 is usually the clubs scene around here.

25 and up? Why not go see a movie? Perhaps meet up with some of your old friends? It really all just depends on your preferences.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, nothing.  On a Thursday night at 11pm, pretty much everything will be closed.  If you want to walk to Deep Ellum, the clubs will be open, and some restaurants in the West End, but there's no movie theatre downtown anymore. :-(
