Uptown
Uptown is where Dallas keeps its bar density and its young professionals in the same square mile, and the math is not subtle. The Katy Trail runs through it, which means daytime dates have an alibi before the rooftops open. McKinney Avenue does the heavy lifting after dark: rooftop after rooftop, with the inevitable bachelorette parties as ambient noise. The tradeoff is honest. You will pay garage rates, you will queue behind people in matching sashes, and you will probably run into someone from work. In exchange, you never have to plan the second drink.
