Playboy readers soon won't be distracted by stripped-down center spreads; the magazine famously reported it will stop printing nude photos in its March 2016 edition. But hey, some people read the magazine for the articles, guys. Here's one in the November 2015 issue worth a look-see:

Playboy picked downtown Dallas bar Midnight Rambler as one of the top in the country. The mag named it "best subterranean bar," surely because of its location in the basement of the Joule hotel.

That a Dallas cocktail den snagged a spot on Playboy's list is exciting, because a whopping seven of the 20 bars are in New York. 

And wouldn't you know, Midnight Rambler bartenders Chad Solomon and Christy Pope are New York transplants. "Playboy has always been synonymous with nightlife and cocktail culture, so we are thrilled to be on this list," Solomon says.

The Playboy writer praised Midnight Rambler's cocktail menu for being one that "inspire[s] deep thoughts." If you're drinking to forget? Don't go to Midnight Rambler. It's far too fabulous.

The only other Texas bar that made the list was Julep, a smart spot in Houston that gets Playboy praise as its "best Southern-accented bar."

The article in Playboy is on newsstands now. And yes, for now, there are nude photos in it.
