The manager, Lindsey, has a well-known reputation for being racist to Hispanics, refusing to serve them or assume they don't have money and charge them one drink at a time. She then spread a rumor -- to other customers!! -- that we didn't tip. I always tip well, as I work in the service industry myself. Even if I didn't, that is no one's business. Good news if you're not Hispanic; Lindsey will flirt with your boyfriend right in front of you, stroking his hand and giving him free drinks. He told her he was uncomfortable with that, and she began ignoring us. We can't order if she's there, even if we are there for hours. We started going elsewhere, which is a shame because Zeus (bartender) and Javier (karaoke) are great. Just find out her schedule and go when she isn't there, and you'll have a great time.

Visiting from Wisconsin, and we were looking for some good blues music. Saw that a blues band was playing at The Goat. Tutu Jones and the Twisted Soul Band got down, got funky. Had a great time. Loved the diverse crowd.

When I moved to Dallas in 1989 I lived in the apartments next door. It was The Office Lounge back in those days. We had a band and they would let us play on Sunday night for free beer. The Goat is a cool happening place. I really miss it since I moved 420 miles south. I have a good audio recording of us jamming there in 1990. My old drummer J. W. Hammett was really good about recording our jams. It takes me back to the "good ole days". Since Schooners is long gone and the whole area has changed The Goat is probably the coolest bar in the area. Last year I met an awesome harmonica player named Kirk from Alaska. He spends at least one month every winter in Port Aransas. Somewhere along his travels he had jammed at The Goat...it's a small world....peace out....
One of the best dive bars in Dallas. Cheap drinks and great service. Live bands on Friday and Saturday nights.

Great dive bar. Only bar I frequent in the city of Dallas. There are no pretentions here. Beer is cold, music is great. They have jam bands on the weekends. Place is jumping. Pool table is always running. Snake, the bartender is the best.Old school place. Go today!!!! Only reason I didn't give any stars for food is the last time I was there they didn't have any. But they do have potlucks and there is a few restaurants in the area they allow you to bring food in.Thanks Goat for some really good times.Parking: Kinda fills up quick on weekends, and they share a lot with the gym next door.Wheelchair accessibility: A little hairy, but manageable.

KJ was pretty rude and a little strange all night. My friend left her phone there and we went back while they were cleaning up. Instead of offering to help out, he just kept saying "we open at 7am." really?? Thank goodness one of the bartenders overheard and gave it
