Lower Greenville

One of the most eclectic nightlife spots in the city of Dallas, Lower Greenville is an East Dallas neighborhood that is home to many up-scale bars, restaurants, boutique stores, and is also the site of the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, one of the most popular and raucous parades in all of Dallas.

It's home to the Granada Theater which hosts many popular regional and national touring musical acts that mostly appeal to the younger set. A devastating fire in 2009 ruined one of the most popular bars and hangouts in the area, the Greenville Bar & Grille along with several other businesses, but the block is rebounding nicely and new businesses are opening. Housing in this area is mostly apartments that are geared for the younger set and visitors to this area will meet many musicians and artists who live here. Some family housing is available in the adjacent M Houses neighborhood and other area close to the Lower Greenville area.

If you're a musician or artist looking to get your name in the mix, this is the place for you to be. It's also popular with tourists and on summer weekends, it's a great place to cruise with the top and windows down and people-watch.
