Our History

Our History Who we are…

We began in 1993 as the Stonewall Business & Professional Association. In 2005, we organized as the North Texas Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Chamber of Commerce to address the expanding needs of our community. As the Chamber we continue the Stonewall tradition of providing networking opportunities and informational programming to our members.

In addition, we work to improve the economic vitality of our region and support the positive attributes of a diverse workplace and community. The Chamber represents, promotes, and advocates for GLBT and allied businesses throughout North Texas with a goal of equal rights, equal access and equal representation for our community and all of North Texas.

What we do…

The Chamber focuses on three strategic areas: Member Services, Economic Development & Business Advocacy, and Leadership. Within these three areas volunteers work to create benefits, programs and events to support the needs of our members and our community.

The Chamber creates professional environments where GLBT people and our allies can meet to promote their businesses, develop new skills and have their voices heard on important issues that affect how we do business and our quality of life.

We bring together a diverse community of business people who offer a wide array of products, services, skills and expertise. By highlighting our shared goals and values we unite to maximize our individual assets.

Chairman’s Message

From the Board Chairman In 2005 the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce awarded us the Rising Star Award. Since then we’ve worked to fulfill the promise of that honor. As such we are now the largest GLBT chamber in the state of Texas.

Elected officials and community leaders in Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin rely on the Chamber for information and communication. Through these channels we advocate on behalf of our members and our community.

We have used the collective power of our membership to work for more jobs, clean air, transportation and education.

We also collaborate with the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce to promote GLBT Supplier Diversity.

Each month the Chamber presents several networking opportunities including Business Connections mixers in Dallas and Fort Worth, Business Exchange Network groups and Brewing Up Business—all designed to connect businesses, develop professional relationships and increase the economic power of our community. We’ve grow our online presence by adding two new websites, GLBTBiz-Blog.org and our dedicated online networking site GLBTBiz-Net.org. Now members can continue to interact and network in the virtual world between events.

Later in 2009 we’ll unveil new features on our main site, GLBTChamber.org.

The Chamber produces and distributes online and print materials like GLBT Business Online and this directory, the Community Resource & Visitor Guide. Both are designed to inform and empower our members and our community. With this, our second edition of the Guide, we are happy to once again include the official GLBT Visitor Guide. We have included map icons to make it easier for you to find members in certain areas and a new Community Resources section to connect the community with area organizations.

It is our responsibility to make certain that advancements in equality are not lost, so the Chamber created the Leadership Education & Advocacy Program. LEAP will provide scholarships for students in the North Texas GLBT community. Learn more about LEAP at www.glbtleap.org.

We are humbled by the faith and confidence that has been granted us by the National Chamber and by you, our community.

Thank you for making the dream of our Rising Star Award a reality.

Sincerely,

Derrick Brown Chairman North Texas GLBT Chamber of Commerce P.S. If you use and like the Guide be sure to thank an advertiser because without them this Guide wouldn’t be possible.

President’s Message

Photo by Terry Thompson

From the President & CEO Your business is our business!

We’re not nosy, it’s just that the business of the GLBT community is why we exist. All chambers work to improve the economy and wealth of their constituents. But for us economic growth isn’t the end, it’s the means, because the business of the GLBT community isn’t just business, it’s also equality.

That’s what makes the North Texas GLBT Chamber and the Community Resource & Visitor Guide so important.

By doing business with a Chamber Member you can be assured that they aren’t just looking for their share of the ‘gay market.’

Our Members are dedicated to improving the lives of GLBT people throughout North Texas, the nation and the world. All Chamber Members agree to abide by our Standards of Business Conduct & Ethics (page 5) assuring that they will serve their customers and clients with integrity while providing quality products and services.

When you spend your hard-earned money at a business do you know where it goes? Do you know what causes your money will be used to support? Whether you are doing business with the area’s largest employer, American Airlines, or a small business like the Daisy Polk Inn you know that your money is being used in support of our community. Choosing a Chamber Member is good for the GLBT community as well as the greater community.

60% of every dollar spent with a locally owned business stays within the community.

As a consumer we encourage you to use our Guide as often as possible. However, if you are a GLBT or allied business and you share our mission and values we also invite you to join the North Texas GLBT Chamber. Whether you are a business owner, professional, employee or nonprofit organization, the Chamber has many opportunities for you to connect with others who support our goals.

By using the Chamber Guide and our online directory at GLBTChamber.org when choosing a business you are supporting the Chamber’s mission: To achieve equality through business development and advocacy.

We are proud to be the largest and fastest growing GLBT business organization in Texas. Your support of the Chamber and our Members makes it all possible. For additional information on the Chamber and our programs and events please check out our website at www.GLBTChamber.org or give me a call at the Chamber office 214-821-GLBT (4528).

Business Person of the Year

Christopher Watts—The Petropolitan By the end of its first year in business, The Petropolitan had beaten its initial revenue projections by 27%, and boasted a full-time staff of 8. By the end of year two, it more than doubled its previous year’s revenue, and the staff had swelled to 14. It doesn’t end there, as Chris plans to open locations in Austin, Fort Worth and Frisco in the near future.

Chris Watts connects his business and his clients to support local and national charities. In support of a member of his staff, a proud breast cancer survivor, he carries a line of products with 100% of the revenue going to her 3-Day Breast Cancer Fund walk. A majority of the items on the sales floor support several other charitable causes.

Chris feels that every pet should receive the highest standard of care.

Because of this, he provides food and care for the pets of Dallas’ homeless population. He works with several local shelters to make sure that pets are healthy and spayed or neutered.

Dining

Stephan Pyles

Dining There truly is no better place in America to eat than Dallas. With a diverse culture comes a diverse selection of fine cuisines. Here, you will find a range of meals, from rich traditions of classic French and Asian fusion to modern southern cuisine and everything in between.

Many great restaurants and renowned celebrity chefs can be found in Dallas, two of which are in the Uptown neighborhood. Award-winning celebrity chef Kent Rathbun prepares fine global cuisine at Abacus, a AAA Four Diamond restaurant. If you wish to

lavish in a luxurious meal, visit Fearing’s, located at The RitzCarlton®, Dallas. With seven stunning eating environments and a bold selection of southwestern meals on the menu, Fearing’s provides a unique blend of environment and cuisine.

Not far from downtown in the Arts District you will find internationally acclaimed chef Stephan Pyles in his namesake restaurant across from the Dallas Museum of Art. Described by the New York Times as “an absolute genius in the kitchen,” chef Stephan Pyles features www.brinker.com

southwestern fare at its finest in his restaurant. While you’re in the downtown area, take an elevator ride down below street level to Dakota’s.

A superior staff awaits you with mouth-watering steaks and a fine collection of premium wines.

With its headquarters in Dallas, Brinker International offers a tasty menu of foods at its Chili’s, On the Border and Maggiano’s restaurants.

Dallas invented casual dining with restaurants like the Black-Eyed Pea and Good Eats, which serve good, home-cooked meals in the heart of Oak Lawn. For fun, try Café Brazil, Buli Café and Hunky’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers all located on Cedar Springs Road. For more international tastes, go for Zini’s Pizzeria, Sushi Sapporo, Thai Nipa or Panda’s, a favorite after-thebar dining spot.

I LOVE THE NIGHTLIFE

Nightlife

Nightlife All within walking distance from each other on the Cedar Springs Strip in Oak Lawn, you can find a variety of clubs catering to the LGBT community. Start your evening at JR’s Bar & Grill Dallas, where the second floor balcony is a great place to people-watch along bustling Cedar Springs Road. Just around the corner, you’ll find Sue Ellen’s with a multi-level

setting that accommodates a dance floor and plenty of room for live performances.

Sue’s was voted “Best Lesbian Bar/Nightclub in the World” by readers of OutTraveler magazine.

Buddies II is another great night spot for the ladies, located just south of the Cedar Springs Strip on Maple Avenue. Buddies II features a

swimming pool along with a laid back atmosphere where women (and men) dance, play a game of pool and sing karaoke.

Follow the pumping sounds of dance music to the doors of Station 4. S4 features live DJs spinning the latest club music and plenty of flat screen TVs throughout the club. Upstairs, The Rose Room showcases the best in drag entertainment five nights a week. With theater-like seating, The Rose Room isn’t just a bar, it’s a showroom. For lots of good will and maybe one small thrill, and we mean dancing, two-step over to The RoundUp Saloon, voted “The

42

Best Galdanged Gay Bar in the U.S. of A” by Instinct magazine. Don’t know how to two-step? Not a problem.

The Round-Up offers dance lessons.

For the sports enthusiast, drop

by Woody’s Sports & Video Bar. With two floors, the many flat screen TVs at Woody’s make for a great place to watch sports or view music videos. When it’s time for some people watching, step out onto Woody’s front patio or balcony.

For some Latin, hip-hop and dance music, go to Havana.

This modern, trendy club draws quite a crowd, so arrive

early and enjoy Havana’s delicious Cuban-Latin cuisine.

For that neighborhood bar feel, check out The Hidden Door. Nothing fancy, just friendly people and great drink specials; it’s the place to be on Sunday afternoon.

Illusions is a quaint bar where some of the area’s most fabulous title-holding drag

queens frequent. If you feel the performer in you trying to get out, stop by for some karaoke. If you prefer to watch, then visit Alexandre’s.

This intimate club features musical acts performed by local talent and great drink prices.

48 Hours in Dallas

WHERE TO SPEND A GREAT 48 At Gay List Daily, we get around. Around town, that is. We go to all the hottest restaurants, take in the finest entertainment, and get pampered from head to toe everywhere we go. But lucky for you, we like to “gay it forward” and share all of our secrets for making the most of every moment.

The fine folks at the North Texas GLBT Chamber of Commerce tasked us with telling you how to best spend 48 hours in Dallas, whether you’re here from out of town or just haven’t broken your routine in years (we weep for you). Sure, 48 hours isn’t much, but Kiefer Sutherland could save the world twice in that amount of time, so we figured the least we could do is throw out the names of a few of our favorite hot spots. We may break a nail from typing too quickly, but heroes always have to make sacrifices for the greater good.

The Mint on the Pillow If you’re coming to Dallas from out of town, you’ll be amazed at the wide variety of hotels we have available. Sadly, the $15per-hour spot off the Interstate has recently been torn down, but times are tough all over.

If you like to stay some place small and boutiquey, one of our faves is Hotel Belmont, an old motor court motel that’s been updated and completely swankified for your pleasure.

Downtown, The Joule is nothing short of spectacular from the well-appointed lobby all the way to Neiman Marcus on the speed dial in your guest

room. And we wouldn’t be doing you any favors if we didn’t point you in the direction of the W Dallas–Victory Hotel. The views from the rooms and the stunning pool deck are worth keeping your camera hanging around your neck at all times (well, except in the deep end).

But if your travels bring you to Big D and you don’t care about collecting hotel points, stay some place Mom would like (if your mom was a sassy gay man, that is). Daisy Polk Inn is right in the heart of the gayborhood and it’s charming, quiet and stumbling distance from many of the best gay bars.

The Meat on the Plate Every time we dine with Mayor Tom Leppert, he can’t help but remind us that Dallas has more restaurants per capita than that big city in New York where all the disaster movies take place. We’ve heard him tell us that a million times, but we’re eating with the mayor! Who are we to quibble?

Now, you should probably know that we’re a patio kind of town and there’s nothing better than a cold margarita and a plate of Tex-Mex while soaking up the sun and scoping out the hotties walking by. At Cyclone Anaya’s on Oak Lawn, it only takes two of their stupendously good margaritas to get the party started. In One Arts Plaza, Jorge’s has a gigantic patio and the best chile con queso in town. Mi Cocina is practically a gay ritual and at West Village, the queer folk line up at the place known for its Mambo Taxis (margaritas swirled with sangria). Its sister restaurant

48 Hours in Dallas

across the street, Taco Diner, brings the boys and girls out to play, too. But if you’re looking for a more authentic (dare we say hole-in-the-wall) experience, our money is on Herrera’s on Maple Avenue. Not only are there more combination plates than should be allowed by law, it’s BYOB. So stop by the convenience store and grab a six-pack to take with you. (Zima pairs well with tacos.)

Interested in fine dining? We’ve got tons of places to choose from, but the tasting menu at Abacus is easily the most unbelievable in town. FiveSixty by Wolfgang Puck is one of our newest hot spots, where the food is every bit as impressive as the revolving view of downtown and the rest of the city. Charlie Palmer at the Joule also serves up a delicious meal in a trendy setting. Or, if you want something truly romantic, head to Lola in uptown or Local in Deep Ellum.

Both of these tiny spots focus on innovative dishes that will make you rub your tummy with delight after every single bite.

The Wig on the Diva There’s always something to do in Dallas, “the City that Likes a Good Nap in the Afternoon So It Can Stay up Late™.” (We get paid extra if we coin phrases when we write.) No matter your taste, we’ve got “fun” tattooed on our foreheads (and at least two places we can’t put into print).

A trip to Oak Lawn wouldn’t be complete without two must-visit gay bars: The Rose Room (inside S4) and The Roundup Saloon. At the Rose Room, there’s a drag show nearly every night of the week in one of the best venues anywhere in the country for live performances by queens with talent as big as their hair. Across the street, even if country music ain’t your

thang, there’s nothing quite like taking in the scrumptious sight of two men or two women two-stepping two-gether (we couldn’t resist).

For great live music, piano bar Alexandre’s is always good for a few kitschy show tunes while you double-fist martinis.

Lesbian megabar Sue Ellen’s also boasts a killer line-up of bands. Jazz and blues fans will love Pearl at Commerce, a teeny-tiny downtown dive with a diverse (and mostly straight) crowd that welcomes anyone who loves great music.

And if you luck out to be in town during one of the Uptown Players shows, this talented group of gays and thespians puts out some truly amazing live theater with plays heavy on the “homo.” We’ve got season tickets and it’s still not enough to get our fill.

The Scoop on the Rest As much as we begged to have 36 pages in this guide, the GLBT Chamber powers that be simply weren’t having it.

So we’ve had to be far more stingy in our recommendations than we’d like and we hope you don’t think we’re being bad hosts. Fortunately for you, there’s a place where you can catch all of the latest trends and places to see and be queeny: www.gaylistdaily.com.

The subscription is free, we won’t ever sell your names (or let dingoes eat your babies) and just getting our updates in your inbox is guaranteed to make you gayer than you were five minutes before.

Sign up, tell your friends and don’t forget to have your pets spayed or neutered.
