in my book, Reveler's Hall on Bishop Avenue. It's my
olasis the acoustics cradle, every brass harmony and the bar's rhythm.

(01:23):
Friendly cocktails go down dangerously easy. Whether you catch the
Bishop Ab Hot six every Thursday or unannounced jazz combos,

for October's Dallas Country Music Festival in Flower Mound. Five headliners,
endless local food trucks, only five dollars to enter, and
at all benefits toys for chots. I'm drafting my must

up DJ sets and Trinity Grove shipping containers, record store
back room concerts and the infamous secret jazz loft above

door staff and musicians. I always ask anything weird or
