16 Best Dive Bars in Dallas

“I feel good at that Restaurant“

“Great hidden drink and food spot!“

“Barbara’s Pavillion seems to be one of the only decent dive bars left anywhere in Dallas. The drinks are cheap, the vibes are good, the staff is friendly, the music is great. The fact that it’s a gay bar makes it even better. Barbara’s has barely changed in the sixteen years I’ve lived in Oak Cliff. I hope it never does.“

“Just a good time! Good food and ambiance!“

“My partner & I are in town for the holidays from Salt Lake City & were told about Time Out Tavern. Everything that was mentioned by the Uber driver was on point. The atmosphere was chill AF, there's a male bartender with braids who gave exceptional customer service not to mention the door guy was down to earth with a lot of knowledge & that bearded. WOOF! With that said there was a female bartender who could use A LOT of coaching conversations by management as her rudeness was never asked for & customer service lacked. I still give this bar five stars & will recommend it to others.“

“Awesome dive bar and great bartenders!“

“I want to cry every time I remember I don't live here anymore and can't get B&B 😭 it's the best chicken ever....“

“A fun spot that highlights all the best qualities of a dive bar while feeling safe and clean.“

“Any thank going on this weekend at the Cottages“

“I always come here since like 2 years ago and the vibes are always chill. I enjoy the prices and the crowd that goes is older which I prefer. You don't really see people sloppy here or starting fights or anything everyone minds their own business and doesn't really cause problems. You see a lot of regulars here and you can shoot some pool with friends. They also have slot machines and darts. I really come here because of the crowd.“

“I loved my experience here! The food is amazing, customer service is A1, and everyone is so friendly in this wonderful environment. I cannot wait to come back to Texas , just to come back to Deep Ellum for this restaurant. For someone with social anxiety, this was the best place for me out of everywhere I ate the last 3 days. If you go, ask for DaeDae.“

“I'm rating the weekend afternoon/ early evening bartender, Vanessa in particular. Because she's the best. Go see her, bask in her glorious banter, and tip her generously. Her drinks are just as delicious as her burns. Plus, she's hot. Drink now, thank me later.“

“The staff here are not just friendly; they go above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable time.Now, let’s talk about those cheese curds. They are divine! And I know a good cheese curd. Deuce’s Bar in Dallas gets a solid 5 stars from me.“

“Great neighborhood bar with cool atmosphere and dog friendly. Great place to watch sports!!“

“It’s just a great place to be!“

“Great people, great times, fantastic bartenders, and DARTS!!!!“
