Greenville Avenue is a part of Dallas that's lost its luster since my time at SMU. Sororities and fraternities would rent out the bars on Lower Greenville for parties, and the Cavern was my favorite random music venue. Now, crowds frequent Uptown, and Henderson. There is still one location on Greenville that I will always love, The Libertine. This bar/restaurant is the ultimate hipster spot. The bar features local and unique beers, while the menu is anything but bar food. Friday, I had the shrimp and grits. The mussels (a staple in hipster cuisine) are an absolute favorite. The people watching is fabulous, but it's not so hip that you feel unwelcome, or out of place. Handle bar mustaches, multi-colored tights and loads of body art are each part of the uniform for The Libertine's patrons. There's plenty of parking because, frankly, Greenville Avenue isn't what it used to be. At least The Libertine can still draw a crowd.The Libertine
