Great sports bar with indoor and outdoor seating. Solid food with good portions, they’re the sister bar of State & Allen, the restaurant down the street. I personally enjoy the chicken tenders with sweet potato fries, and brisket queso. They have trivia every Tuesday and sports trivia every Wednesday. Service is also on top of things, checking in often, and the servers are personable. Shoutout to Denzel Washington.

Great atmosphere and service every time. The s&a chicken strips tossed in lemon pepper is FIRE. Great spot to watch a game with countless TV. Trivia Tuesdays at 7pm are a must!

I like this place a lot. Always fun to watch big games with friends here. The food is surprisingly good. Got the chicken fajitas and they were excellent. The staff is great as well, wish I remembered his name but one of the waiters is just so funny. Highly recommend if you are in town for Texas/OU or some other big weekend in Dallas.

Cold beer/great service/prison food. Burger and fries were not good. Fries came out burnt to a crisp and hardly edible. Everything else was great!

Gabe may be one of the best bar tenders in Dallas. Always attentive and friendly. I come here for all my game days because of the great service and friendly staff. Thanks Nodding!

Love off the beaten path bars. This hidden sports bar takes you away from the city vibes, but gives you a good boast to watch some games!

Didn't get a chance to try anything to eat, but definitely will be back!

The smoked wings and sweet potato fries were good. The parking and seating situation were challenging. People save large spaces well into the football games, leaving nowhere to sit inside. There should be a limit. They could have better drink specials.

First time here, I’m an Oklahoma resident came down for the game. Aaron deserves all the credits for this bar! He’s the ONLY reason we tipped $100 and I hope to god he pocketed it, but from someone who’s been in the service industry for years I know he won’t. This bar has the BEST GM please take him on company trip he’s carrying the team lol. He is definitely the reason this place gets 10/10!
