Fell in love with this place. A group of girlfriends and I were just stopping in for a quick shot but it ended being the funnest part of our whole night! We ended up staying for a couple hours singing along to every song this tall cute cowboy of a bartender played for us. We would request songs and he’d play anything we wanted to hear and it turned into a big party. No place ever does that! Unexpected hugging, singing, drinking, dancing, laugh fest. Thanks for making our night Cowboy Barry

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I haven’t had this much fun since college. The DJ (Nick?) was playing banger after banger, but the highlight was the service. All three bartenders on this night (5/3/2025) were nothing but nice. They were quick, and just great energy. Shout out Claudia because you made the night so smooth!

Dirty Bills is such a vibe!! Claudia always provides such great service. She’s friendly, respectful and really great at what she does. Never a dull moment when my friends and I pop into dirty bills!
Would definitely recommend ☺️☺️

It's an amazing small hole in the wall bar. There's nothing more to say other than it's amazing.

I don’t know who the owner is but I went into the bar tonight to try to earn business for my security company cause I’m originally from San Antonio and I’m just trying to expand my business out to other cities And I approached the bartender to explain who iam and what my business was in the bar and some random bald white guy in a blue flannel with a gotea had came up to me “points to my business card and continues to say that doesn’t work” whatever that means and I was just confused and asked “do I know you or do you know me?” And he just said “the door is right there” and I’m like okay and turn to the bartender said “thank you for your time” and walked out and the dude had a stare down with me as i was leaving the bar like if i knew him or whatever the case may be if he is the owner dude really needs to adjust his attitude to people! Cause I have not done business with him before nor do I know at all

Walked in looking to grab a beer saw a big wave kona in the cooler was eager to get 1 but the bartenders didn't acknowledge me so I left after 5 minutes there were only 4 people in there 6 if you're counting the people behind the bar.. won't come here again

If I could give 0 stars I would. I got denied entry by the classy door man checking IDs because I was wearing a Texas A&M polo shirt. Completely classless and unprofessional behavior. Spend your money elsewhere.
I was expecting a snarky response filled with garbage. I see you looked into the matter since you seem to know all about it given I emailed your Customer Service. Nice fairytale story though. Funny, we had no issues going to any other establishments...

Dirty Bill’s is the kind of place you don’t find so much as accidentally trip over. It’s not fancy—unless your definition of “fancy” is strong drinks, loud music, and a crowd that somehow includes both rowdy college kids and people who probably have AARP cards. Promotions and gimmicks? Not here. They’ve cracked the code of letting chaos do the work for them.
The dance floor (if you can call it that) is a tight squeeze, and the mid-bar area feels like navigating a crowded subway car. But, oddly enough, there’s no other place nearby that offers this specific brand of borderline anarchy disguised as “fun.”
They technically make cocktails, but let’s not pretend that’s why you’re here. Stick to a shot, a beer, and a swift exit strategy. If you’re lucky, you’ll get kicked out at least once, but don’t worry—they have a very liberal “clean slate” policy the next day. Speaking from experience.
Lastly, buy a hat. Just trust me. It’s the kind of souvenir that screams “I made some choices,” and you’ll be surprised how much goodwill it earns you in Texas. One might even say the hat is the classiest thing about the place, but that would be setting a very low bar.
Easiest 5 star review I've ever written. Michael and his team went out of their way to host the afterparty for our wedding and it was one of the highlights of the night. Our friends couldn't believe it when the busses pulled up to the bar and the entire staff made us feel welcome. Will obviously be back.
