50 Best Bars near Lake Dallas

“Bartender Kayla is excellent and the food was great!!“

“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! 😄“

“It is always nice to not have to be nervous going up to the bar to order a drink—and the Bearded Monk always succeeds in making everyone feel welcomed and safe. The bartenders are kind and inviting, and they make great drinks. Thanks for making the community a nicer place!“

“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 🤩“

“$5 per person to play is a great price, they have a huge selection of games! We just got some sodas so I can't really comment on the food. It does get a bit loud in the evening making it hard to talk/read instructions so I would recommend bringing earplugs to put in while reading.

Amending my review because I didn't realize there were cushy seating options for smaller groups, thank you for letting me know! :)“

“Highly recommend Local Pint! So good! And the Best owners and staff!! Go support this awesome small business!“

“Best bar in Little Elm“

“chill atmosphere on a Saturday night“

“Went last night and had Ally as a server. She convinced us to get the meatballs, and they were delish! We loved the steak and redfish, (another suggestion from Ally) and just had the best experience all the way around. We will definitely be back!“

“Great stage, great sound, great staff!“

“great spot for good drinks and quality cigars.“

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

“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!“

“Great experience love the sliding door arrangement for the dining“

“Great service and friendly“

“We went for the first time last night on a whim and had one of the best dinners and service ever. We had reservations at 6:15, and arrived an hour earlier than planned. The hosts adjusted on the fly and sat us immediately (it was pre dinner rush and there were tables available). Our server Taylor was personable, knowledgeable (knew the menu front to back, including items that weren’t on the menu), and attentive. We started with a couple of their signature cocktails and the meatball appetizer, followed by the surf and turf and veal chops, and ended with the cheesecake and the peanut butter cup martini. Everything, let me repeat EVERYTHING, was amazing. Not once did we feel like we were being rushed by the staff to finish, empty plates and glasses were picked up promptly and discreetly by the busser. Even though it was our first time there, Taylor instantly made us feel like we were long time regulars and friends. The entire experience was top notch. Definitely will be added to our restaurant rotation.“

“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! DJ Yo Jabba Jabba Sasquatchabacca - Beatboxing Natsir - Freestyle Voculist Lynn Ashley Lyons -- Friend to Music Rare Instrument Collector and Provider“

“If you haven't tried Margarita Hut on Loop 288 yet, you're missing out! The drinks are always refreshing, the vibes are fun, and the customer service is absolutely top tier. Christie, the owner, is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet she genuinely cares about her customers and makes everyone feel welcome. You can tell she puts her heart into this place. Customer service is a solid 10/10 every single time. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“amazing food and would definitely go back“

“I stopped in this place a few weeks ago. It wasn't too packed, and I hung out at the bar for a while, watching some guys play pool. The crowd seemed to leave about 10:30 and it was pretty empty at that point. The bartender that night was Jadis, who was amazing and very good about answering questions about the leagues and pool tournaments held there. I ordered the pork chop, which was the best meal I had on my short trip as well. If you're in the area, stop by for the pork chop, and ask for Jadis!“

“Buffalo Hirsch hosted a fantastic event for my husband's retirement this last weekend! We can't thank the staff enough for being so great throughout the planning and execution of this party. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and bent over backwards to ensure we had a successful event.

We loved the food trucks - there was something for everybody! The wine/spirits/beers and anything else you'd want was available and they managed it all. We loved the venue/party room that was well staffed, beautifully decorated, and spotless. I'd give it more stars than 5 but there's a limit in the selection for rating!!

Thanks for making this big event so memorable for our family!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“I’ve heard about this place for a long time and after trying it for the first time I can see why. Best Crawfish Etouffee I’ve ever had by far.“

“Been here maybe 3-4 times now. So far a positive experience each time. Food truck is sooo good! The lady that owns/runs it is friendly and delivers on the food quality! The bartender that’s usually there is friendly and chill. Tons of beers to try and you can build your own flights!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Happy to see Harvest House open and with a fresh vision with new ownership. Great drink selection and a new food truck with a stellar burger and parm fries!!! Live music sounded great and really enjoyed the vibe. Will for sure be back soon!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“First it’s the little things that count and this place does those things right. Ice cold mugs for the beef hits the spot after a hot Texas evening. You can tell they put in the work to make your meal delicious and I appreciate that so much these days. Anything with salmon is delicious and the yakitori was so flavorful. With so many sushi choices out there you gotta check this place out. Solid menu with something for everyone.“

“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“

“I had the best night of my life because of Jacque!! She makes the best drinks/ shots and introduced me to my new favorite drink, the “pink princess”. Every time I see her I feel like I’ve come home from war, thank you Jacque 🫶🏼“

“They are in a soft opening, but the staff and owner were very gracious and welcoming. We definitely ordered too much for 3 people (sorry, not sorry? We got to try a number of dishes!). Mango lassi was sweet and refreshing. Bhindi was fresh and well cooked. Rice was very aromatic - all the food was! We spoke to the chef and he said he has a contemporary approach to the best flavors of India. I loved the Tadka dal (I've never had dal this rich and flavorful!). I could go on about the masala fries, paneer, and bread, but just take this as my recommendation to try it! Vegetarian friendly!“

“Everything we had was delicious“

“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.“

“Came to celebrate my sister in law and brother in law’s birthdays, so we had 11 people total. Arrived by noon and they were able to get us all seated pretty quickly! I didn’t hear any complaints about food, but I will say The Sundance Kid burger I had was DELICIOUS! If you can’t decide what side to get between fries, chips, or onion rings… skip the fries! The chips were pure deliciousness in my mouth and my husband and daughter swore up and down the onion rings were the best they ever had. Sophie was very attentive and personable and didn’t mind my 6yo talking too much, which is always a plus when people have patience for the youngest of the younger crowd! Between the atmosphere (even the bathrooms smelled nice and were super clean!), the wonderful staff, and the delicious burgers, we would love to come back! As my youngest said: “I give this place a ten out of ten stars!”“
