This place happy hour specials and energetic vibes were great! An evening out after work with friends on the patio was pleasant. Our waiter was nice and accommodating to more people joining us at times. Definitely will return and enjoy. Parking can be a mess but patience is the key.

Had an overall good experience at Thirsty Lion. I really appreciated their Special Summer Menu, adds character to the restaurant and more option is always a good thing in my book. This place nails the “Pub” atmosphere, TV’s everywhere with good classic music in the background with solid food. If that’s the vibe you’re after this is the spot for you.

If you're looking for great food and a good vibe. This is the place. I had the fish and chips and it did not disappoint. Not only was the food hot, but it fish was crispy, just the way it should be. This is my second time here and it seems like you can NEVER go wrong eating here. When I return to Dallas in a few months, I will be back.
