50 Best Bars near Lake Dallas

“Highly recommend Walter’s Tavern. Excellent food with great service. Full bar. Special weekly menu for new rotating/featured items so you are never bored with the menu! Desserts to die for! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Spent a fun afternoon on the patio and enjoyed some amazing wines! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Our server, Ariel, was so helpful! We joined the wine club. Can’t wait to go back! 😄“

“I love this place, it’s only minus one star because I wish the hours were extended because when you’re having fun here you don’t want to leave early from this place. It is super cute and so many places to sit and play games. It would be cool if they offered a trivia night, but that’s just wishful thinking. I love the fact they offer drinks here and we have brought our own charcuterie here to munch on while playing games. Definitely fun place to be at.“

“Our Neighborhood held a monthly ladies birthday event here for 20 .Setting up the event with Rohith was very easy. He offered special pricing on food and drink. One of our ladies was in a wheelchair so he provided a low top table for her. Our waitress worked hard and was cheerful and cute. The music was turned down slightly so everyone could talk. The food was good. We were there early on a Monday which was a great time as the restaurant was not crowded. A number of the ladies commented that they had a fun time. It was a great place to have our event.“

“Had a fun time with friends at LP! Great food! Husband especially liked the awesome beer selection and his delicious burger! We received great service with Sibley who was a joyful delight and so sweet! We will definitely go again!“

“Super chill place to have some good beers, and apparently cocktails soon. They had a huge selection of beers on tap and an even bigger selection of cans and bottles. And if all that weren't amazing enough, the shop dog greeted us on our way in and paid several visits to our table.“

“Absolutely loved this place! Rodger the owner was in and he introduced himself and he was very friendly. The bartender (not sure of her name; but she’s very sweet) This is definitely going to be my go to when I need to sneak away for an island feeling 🤩“

“chill atmosphere on a Saturday night“

“Great stage, great sound, great staff!“

“Great service and friendly“

“Best bar in Little Elm“

“This was a wonderful dining experience, with great staff and service.“

“This place is crazy enough to even let an unknown starving artist with raw talent and some potential walk inside and well ... just jam with their musicians ... And they let me bring my one dog that is well behaved in public spaces every time they aren't busy!

“great spot for good drinks and quality cigars.“

“Good cocktails, laid back vibes, cute puppies 💕“

“Really cool bar with live music and a stage, a huge courtyard outside with sitting areas and even little outdoor couch cubbies to hang out with your friends or significant other! There's hang out and sitting space inside too, of course. There are pool tables and darts as well as TONS of drinks on tap and in bottles and cans, plus good mixed drinks...this is now my new favorite place to grab and drink and hang out in the cool atmosphere of this little hidden gem 😁“

“amazing food and would definitely go back“

“We live by The Brass Tap in Prosper and absolutely LOVE that location — it’s one of our go-to spots for a laid-back night with great food and drinks even with the kiddos en tow! So wouldn’t you know it, I find out there’s another one just about 10 minutes from my auto detailing & ceramic coating business in Little Elm. Talk about a win! Same awesome vibe, great food, and a huge beer selection that never disappoints. Whether you’re there for a quick bite, hanging with friends, or just winding down after work, this place nails it. Can’t recommend The Brass Tap enough — Frisco and Prosper both have solid teams running these spots!“

“Awesome location with a great atmosphere. Food is amazing! The kind of crowd that sings along with every song. you can't get better!“

“Stopped by here for a pool night on Monday just for some practice. There was a lot of league play there that night but I was able to get a table and practice by myself for a bit. After league ended, I was able to get some games in with one of the BCA players. It was good competition and the wait staff was fantastic the entire time. One of the gals walked around the venue very consistently to check in and everyone to make sure their needs were met. Great pool hall with amazing diamond tables!“

“The hidden jewel in Lewisville! Established in 1988 and has been a staple for the community with a “cheers” atmosphere. Bar staff is top notch and attentive. From karaoke to poker (and other events mixed in), there’s something for everyone here. Daily drink specials to wet your whistle and one of the few places you can come in knowing nobody and end the night with at least a half dozen new friends. Patrons range from mid 20’s to 70’s and all are here to have a great time.“

“cool place. they really have done a nice job with the outdoor heaters , and all of the staff is very friendly“

“WONDERFUL neighborhood bar. I’ve been coming to RTs for almost 2 years. Great drink selections .“

“Coldest beer in town with the most enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and friendliest staff in Denton!“

“The people at Eastside are like family. I can’t say a negative thing about Eastside or the people there. It’s like my second home. I will forever be grateful for them.“

“It's a great local place to hang out. I've come in here recently a couple times and everybody is cool af. Haven't tried the food but I've heard nothing but good things.“

“Great place!! First time being there. Not from the area, but I had a blast.. It was karaoke night and I had a great night.. Will diffenantly will go back.“

“I am so glad I was finally able to try this incredible restaurant. I had heard about it on Facebook and saw the great Google reviews, but the timing just did not work out for me on other occasions. Last night, we had crawfish etouffee, the red snapper, gumbo, and the real deal bread pudding! Actually the bread sitting is better than Whitney make it home and that is a bit of an embarrassment. The etouffee had just the right spice. My brother went back for seconds on gumbo, and two in our party really enjoyed the snapper. Prices are very reasonable, especially for this area. It does have a bit of an odd location. It is inside of a Holiday Inn hotel. Very lucky travelers! Just go and you won't regret it. We plan to return Thursday night when they have live entertainment.“

“I came here several times in the past, and I absolutely love the concept of having private rooms and karaoke rooms. It is a great setting where you can enjoy your meal, have private conversations with your friends or family, and watch something on your phone.

Their menu is diverse, ranging from stirred fried dishes to hotpot, steamed items, and fruits. I really appreciate that the menu includes photos for each dish, so you know exactly what to expect in terms of appearance and ingredients. The service is always welcoming and excellent.

I always order the stirred fried seafood with udon noodles and steamed pork slice with bean sprouts. So I recommend these dishes.

They recently have new items on the menu, and I ordered the spicy ramen with brisket - that dish was fantastic!

This restaurant opens until 2am and almost on all holidays. I highly recommend this restaurant. Maybe consider having desserts (ice cream or cakes) since fruits are already on the menu?“

“One of the best restaurants in the DFW area by far. The food and drinks were delicious and arrived in a timely manner. The service alone was 10/10. Lindsay was so sweet, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. The management was amazing as well.“

“We stopped but had an amazing meal. Enjoyed meeting Mr Embry. We felt welcome and at home“

“The experience of watching the bartenders hand craft the cocktails can only be topped by the taste. Wonderful atmosphere for couples, friends or groups.“

“Great location, good food and top notch service! Becca our waitress was excellent!!“

“it's a fun, awesome place. I love it!!!❤️❤️❤️“

“Great Hospitality from the staff. The BLT is on point. Not sure I’ll be able to ever order anything else. Ice cold Millers!“

“bring games or they have them already. bring friends and enjoy a per roll will your favorite drink.“

“Excelente lugar!!!! buena música y atención super bien la verdad me encantó“

“Like I said on previous posts For bars on Fry Street if you do not do the Fry Street bar crawl On your birthday, you are not living. Mine ended with me in the ER with seven staples In my head A concussion and four days in the ICU and it was worth every minute of it. I had the best time of my life. Unfortunately, I chose to go to aces Not on fry street After afterwards And that’s what sent me over the top But all the games I played doing the crawl All the people I met in every bar And the experience I had on my second day being in Texas It was the best time of my life And every single bar on Fry Street was such a good time All the workers were amazing Tip your bartenders and servers always people I just had the best time Piece of advice, always in the bar crawl after you finish Do not go to another bar That is not on Fry Street if you complete the crawl This is a bad idea Go home Lol But do the crawl Live life and have a blast You will never regret it Even staples layer 🤣🤣🤣😭“

“Same great quality and service as always from The Blue Fish. Server said this is their concept restaurant since the one at Frankford/Tollway closed. Hand rolls are interesting and very good. 3 for $22 plus you get a side salad. Restaurant was quiet at 7pm and got busy at 9pm on a Saturday night. Largest table size we saw was a 4-top so you'd need to call ahead if you have a large group that needs tables put together. Tight parking but that goes for this entire shopping center. We drive over from Ft. Worth because we love The Blue Fish so much. 🩵“

“Great place for pool and drinks. Bartender Brooke did an awesome job handling a strange situation with billing my brother and I (same last name and card appearance; reasonably and underconfusing). Very neat place with friendly staff.“

“We ate here today and had a wonderful experience. They were accommodating with the table so we could see the Packers game, patient with our spirited young child, and the food was fantastic. Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. We’ll for sure be back often!“

“We visited Verf's on 9/19/25 and Jose F was our waiter. The food was wonderful, and our waiter Jose did an excellent job checking on us but not becoming annoying by constantly asking if we needed anything. We sat near the bar which was a tad noisy, but the booth we were seated in was uncomfortable and better suited for larger people b/c the table is too far away from the seats. And our table had an uneven wood surface as we cut into our food. Lastly, the $2.50 discount for Police/Fire/Vets should be a little more ... say 15%. Otherwise, it was an outstanding dining experience.“

“Great time great establishment everything was perfect food service and staff“

“The bartender/ waitress running the show is off the hook. Very on the spot the food is insane. The club sandwich was off the hook. I roll to NYC/LA and live in Plano and if you have not been here its a must stop in and have lunch and see the place. Great vibe even at lunchtime.“

“My rating is 5 stars bc I love coming here but if I had to rate the bartender, Hayden, I would give him negative 7348548738 stars. He is the worst, extremely rude, and I'd rather die of thirst than order a drink from him. All of the other bartenders are so nice and friendly.“

“Food is amazing! Bar is amazing! So chill, everyone is welcome! Pitchers are legendary. Came for karaoke on Sunday (barely found out about) and they pick favorites and let the same person sing 8 times. I got bumped down since 11pm to 1am waiting on a song. Just fyi, love the place tho!! It's great besides that one thing. 😁“

“I posted a negative review originally… However, Ryan the owner reached out to me personally to try and accommodate and assess the reasons for my review. Ryan went as far as to have a private discussion which I won’t go into, in person! If that doesn’t show the management and staff cares I don’t know what does. I gladly and appreciatively took down my negative review and am overwhelmingly happy with the overall experience we simply hit a rough patch and Ryan did his part to help the customer and fix the problems. I’ve gone to the garage for a long time and plan on continuing to visit and be a regular. Thank you Ryan and thank you the garage for being a good place to come and chill out in. I can happily say I recommend this to anyone that wants to escape the monotonous clubs for some chill vibes, pool, and good drinks.“

“The food is great we had a great service the waiter we had was great he was nice in great the only thing I didn’t like was he was bringing are food in another employee told him can you do it fat boy i thought that was rude saying it in front that is bullying“

“Do yourself a favor and don’t miss the fried oysters — they are pure glory! 🦪✨
We’ve already been there twice and both times were amazing.
The prices are really good for the quality of the dishes, and the service we received was excellent.
We’ll keep coming back as many times as we can.“
