50 Best Bars near Lake Dallas

“Stopped this past Friday for other post business and found out steak night was happening. So glad I tried it. Food was phenomenal and the peeps were so friendly. Highly recommend! Photo of what I could not finish eating.“

“Friendly bunch of people. Is very welcoming“

“I really like this place! I’ve come here several times and it is always a great vibe and has more games than I could ever want to play. It is a great place for date night or large groups. It’s cheap and they have great non-alcoholic drinks for people too! Love this place!“

“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!“

“We went there for a wine tasting. Our daughter recommended this. You bring your own food for these tastings, so we didn't eat any of their food. There was live music, which was nice. Had one TV showing all things in Texas. Very informative and interesting. A small place but has enough room to be comfortable. Has craft beers available besides wine. Will go back.“

“Best bar in Little Elm“

“We love this place. Impeccable service with great quality food. Their atmosphere is energetic and classy. I would recommend their steak marsala for an appetizer, creamy parmesan salad and the filet with brussel sprouts.“

“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.“

“This is the spot if you want a good beer, to chill with friends, and have a conversation. The staff are out of this world, the environment is so friendly and inviting, and the events are always a good time! And their non-alcoholic selection is AMAZING too!!“

“This is one of those places where the regulars are actually really cool. I have had the privilege of going to Dan’s Silverleaf for the past three weekends. I used to live in Denton, but I did not frequent this place. I didn’t know what I was missing out on. They always have some great music and it’s a really fun lively crowd and if you are with Kyle and Jack dog (Pictured in his element at Dan’s) then you’re VIP. The Geezerpalooza was totally awesome. Definitely check this place out!“

“This place does it right. It's a loud, lively atmosphere, so if you're looking for a quiet meal, this isn't it. However, the food, the service and everything else is wonderful. The staff is very attentive and so is management. They are checking on you without being intrusive. They make you feel special if you're celebrating a special occasion. I haven't found anything that has disappointed. The burgers are very good. The chicken fried chicken is excellent, as are the steaks. My son loved the prime rib. Personal favorite is the small filet and augratin potatoes, the house salad, and the double chocolate dessert. The staff goes out of their way to thank you for coming in when you're leaving. They are pleasant and everyone has a smile on their face.“

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

“amazing food and would definitely go back“

“Love sitting either in- or outside enjoying the relaxing atmosphere. Incredibly friendly owners, great service and Biscuit, the house dog, is the cutest!“

“Muy accesible los precios“

“Friendly bartender. Happened to walk by on a weekday and it looked like a nice spot to have a beer. The outdoor space is very nice. The parking next to it was free if while you have a drink.

Parking: Free parking lot next to the location labeled for patrons only.“

“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.“

“chill atmosphere on a Saturday night“

“I enjoy Yellow Dog, especially karaoke Saturdays. However, yesterday left my fiancé and I in a poor mood because the bartender wrongfully accused my fiancé of being a predator. They pulled him outside and said that there were some concerns for the woman he was with because he put his hands on me and I “looked” like I was in fear. They didn’t consult me. They just pulled him outside. Even after the fact my fiancé corrected them, I didn’t even know about the ordeal until I noticed my fiancé hadn’t come back inside the bar. We bought art, my friends and I bought canvases to paint, my fiancé is a generous tipper, and the way he was treated was just sad. Anyway, still recommend Yellow Dog because I love the concept, I love the art, and I love karaoke. Just make sure you let the bartenders know in advance that your older fiancé is actually your fiancé and not a predator ❤️“

“this chick is awesome! if she says it's cool....IT IS“

“Great service and friendly“

“Didn’t get to stay long but it beats anything where I’m from in San Antonio sadly! Was out there for my son’s soccer tournament while my wife rushed me I told her it’s on my bucket list of pool halls I step foot in lol. One day I’ll go back and hope to meet some great pool athletes!
Great place and a true pool hall!“

“Great place to hang out at and shoot some pool and have some great cheap drinks ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 had a great meal at this restaurant and our waiter was wonderful his name is Alberto. I highly recommend this place“

“Good first time experience for lunch.

Had fried squid for an appetizer. Some of the better fried squid I’ve had in a while. I’d say it was better than Mr Max.

Had the sushi and ramen for my lunch entree. Sushi had a nice presentation and tasted great. Nigiri was on the small side (both rice and fish). The ramen portion, on the other hand, was pretty big. The slices of pork had a deep, smoky, rich flavor. The half egg on top was hard boiled not soft boiled. Something was a bit off with the noodle texture, perhaps a little overcooked?“

“This is ultimately my favorite restaurant of all time. I love the food along with the vibe and atmosphere! Staff is extremely nice. My favorite dishes are the Ahi Tuna Nachos and Brisket Quesadilla. I've literally gone to this place twice in the same week. Our server WILLIAM is so professional and was very attentitive to our table. He went above and beyond and made our experience here worth while.“

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