Club Babalu Relocating to 7315 Gaston Ave

Missing your favorite place to club? Club Babalu in 2912 McKinney Ave , uptown Dallas is no more. They are now in the process of relocating to 7315 Gaston Avenue in East Dallas. Club Babalu. Opened in 1994, Babalu was the only of its kind. With over five thousand square ft. of space, the nightclub was the ultimate destination for Hispanics in Dallas. It was always crowded and packed. But as the neighborhood went more upscale, so did neighbors - who often complained about parking, loitering and anything else. Also rent went high high high. So this new location should solve most of the problems. Keep you posted on the grand reopening.
