Gay Bars in Dallas, TX

“Bartender was stressed, understandably. It was Halloween night and the bar was packed with drunk gays trying to get his attention but he had a system and got to everyone eventually. Drinks and vibes were strong, really appreciated his service“

“I’ve been coming to The Hidden Door sporadically over the last couple of years. It’s about time I give a review.

I decided to drive down to Woody’s Sports Bar on Cedar Springs to watch the Texans game since playoff implications and divisional titles are on the line, and they bill themselves as a sports bar.

Go to Google to see my review of my experience today at Woody’s written just before this one.

Disappointed in my poor experience at Woody’s, I went to Hidden Door. Walking throughout the bar, I noticed all their TVs were also showing the Cowboys game. BUT, here’s the difference. First, the one bartender who wasn’t busy saw me walk up to the bar and was ready to take my order. I was greeted with a welcoming smile as if to say we’re glad you’re here. I asked the bartender if they only show the same game on all the TVs. Speaking honestly he said, “What other games are there. I really don’t know.” I told him I was interested in watching the Texans game. Without hesitation, he told another bartender of my request. That bartender simply switched the channel on the outside TV to show the Texans game.

There are 5x as many patrons at Hidden Door on the patio where the outside TV is than at Woody’s at the writing of this review. Not a single person protested when the game switched to the Texans.

Thank you HD for treating me like a patron rather than something taking up space in your bar. Thank you for helping me have a positive experience at your bar. Thank you for your welcoming spirit.

And by the way, if you want a good hangout bar that also happens to show various sports programming as an added perk, AND truly has the best drinks in town, get yourself to Hidden Door. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Definitely a hidden gem! Was taken here by a client and was blown away, I've driven past this location a number of times. Love dive hidden bars, they have such character and charm.

The music was great, the customers were friendly and the drinks were well poured!

More of a casual relax atmosphere, but a high recommendation“

“Bartenders are awesome conversation. Drinks are great. And the awesome drag shows on Mondays (the only drag night I’ve gone) are fun. The environment is inviting, rain or shine. Thanks Erik!!“

“Great place, great vibes and the bartenders are super nice! Always down for a good tin room night 🎉🎊“

“Love this place drag shows 7 days a week ( go see Día Monte and Cherise Maraschino on tuesdays) also have karaoke 7 days a week in the lone star bar. Drinks specials throughout the week like 5 dollar Texas booze Tuesday 5 dollar you call it Wednesday and 5 dollar tea shots on Thursdays can't beat that come to round up you will enjoy. Oh yes country dancing and lesson are here as well“

“Marty’s is a pretty cool spot. Wish they had more lesbian nights🤷🏾‍♂️“

“Shockingly good food, amazing service, and all the events all the time. It's a phenomenal bar to be yourself at 💙“

“I really enjoyed seeing the show in the rose room but couldn’t believe you’d request a tip on top of a cover charge. I have no problem tipping where appropriate, like for your servers and for the drag queens at the show. But it turns me off to go in the future regardless of enjoying the shows.“

“Absolutely love Pekers! The vibe here is always on point – a perfect mix of energy and laid-back comfort. The people are friendly, and it feels like everyone is just there to have a great time together. The staff is amazing – always attentive, welcoming, and fun. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink or hanging out for the night, Pekers never disappoints. Highly recommend!“
