Willie's Lounge Bar • $$
1105 S Beacon St, Dallas

“I love Willie's lounge because of the atmosphere! Awesome jukebox and a great place to play a little pool. Love that they always have a little side table filled with food items to munch on! Only negative thing I have to add is that their bartender fcking SUCKS. I only get a good drink when my friends (regulars) order the drinks for me.“

“Food was great - had a mule too - we enjoyed a burger and a salad and split the Reese’s shake. Fun atmosphere and food had solid portions and very tasty. However we were with a large group and sat outside - tables were filthy - we even asked if they could be wiped down prior (food but and sticky shake drips etc) Nobody showed so we did it ourselves.Two long picnic tables for a party of 25 - but again service was great and no complaints in food. Glad we went early as it started to feel like it would get pretty rowdy later in the evening.“

“Well what a great Saturday afternoon at Adair's Saloon! We definitely got “schooled” on the history and the bartender, Kimberly was so friendly and personable and truly engaged with her patrons and we just adored her! So many pictures and characters adorn the walls and of course I zoomed in on a photo of King George immediately! We took up the invite to try their famous burger & fries and it delivered the absolute satisfaction it was promised to be! So much nostalgia and Character & Charm! Cold beer and old school jukebox! Love this place!Parking: There is parking behind Adair’s saloon for actual Adair customers. But if there is a popular event or occasion going on downtown, do not count on availability and be prepared for Apple Pay parking or paying with your credit card in a nearby parking lots that can range anywhere from $18-$25 For two hours. I highly recommend taking an Uber or a Lyft“

“I found this gem on a whim and at this point I’ve been coming for about 3 years now.Bartenders are always so welcoming, engaging and knowledgeable on drinks. Definitely a regular spot for the locals but also a very diverse group of guests coming in at all times.I didn’t try the food initially for a year and when I finally did it’s become a place I’ll come for a late night bite after work.I drive around at times and definitely know the area and places to eat/drink…but this will continue to be one of my favorite spots. Thank you guys.“

“An authentic "dive bar" that has nothing to do with Oswald. The Grilled Cheese on jalapeno cheese bread w/added bacon was delicious, and I recommend the onion rings over the fries.The music was great, the outside ambiance wonderful, and you could carry on a conversation while folks danced and celebrated.The gal at the bar was super friendly, but tended to visit with patrons as much as serve drinks, so don't expect immediate service...just relax and soak up the vibe of the truly genuine cultural treasure.“

“We used to go to this bar regularly. It's lively and the drinks are strong, which is good because the prices are higher than other bars. Unfortunately, they had some kind of glitch where we began getting charged twice, once for the amount and once for a random amount. Example: if our tab was $60 including tip, we would get charged that and then randomly $85. We would have to go back in person a few days later to show the charge didn't drop off and have them reverse it. Because of that glitch, we started going elsewhere and found a cheaper bar that doesn't double charge, but we still recommend this place. If you don't mind the price, try their speciality drinks, like the Yoo-hoo Yeeha. Very good and quite strong!“

Barfly

Barfly Bar • $$
5623 E Grand Ave, Dallas

“The world needs more dive bars! This one is perfect. Off the beaten path, but not too far from Deep Ellum. Also right down the street from Fireplace Lounge. It's not a big bar, but there is plenty of seating inside at the bar or tables and couches around the perimeter, and a huge a** patio. The bar has no windows so you can lose track of time while playing pool or jamming out to the juke box tunes. There is also a table top connect four outside on the patio, There are plenty of TVs too. Barfly is the all around great unpretentious place that Dallas could use more of. Plus free parking!“

“Greatest happy hour in Dallas (goes until 9)! Servers are personable and drinks are always made well! I personally order a tall vodka soda with tang every time (basically a non-acidic screwdriver) and love trying all of their seasonal frozen drinks. Their hot drinks in the winter are always great as well!Parking: Free parking in back behind shopping strip as well as street parking.“

“This is one of my favorite dive bars in the city. Great draft selection, billiards, and a good food menu. The crowd is composed of many regulars who gather for karaoke, sports games, or just a ritualistic pint. The patio is a god send during the summers.Parking: Easy to find parking - if Dallasite is full, there are a few abandoned lots in the area.“

“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.“

“Great time at cowboys saloon, the Jamison was great as always and the bud and bud light was nice and cold. We had a great time listening to a new friend tell old war stories about taking a trip........ dots of purple ,small and micro, then how the streets of Irving led them to a sonic, that was shut down due to their tripping on words , not necessarily stoned but beautiful, was the expression that came to mind. I will be back soon and often. Come by and if I'm there I'll buy a round“
