    We had a phenomenal time celebrating my husband's birthday at Barfly! Tyler, the owner, was over-the-top accommodating for our party and we can't wait to come back to just hang out!

    Not a real dive bar, just an uppity walk-in closet where overdressed Gen Z-ers congregate. ONE pool table, and weak ass drinks. No bueno.

    Perfect place. It's a great hideaway in East Dallas. Door man Dash is very nice and a good boy!

    Came to celebrate a Birthday last night. We arrived early and didn't know a soul. Within minutes…read morethe owner, bartender and patrons invited us in. Don't let the dive bar ambiance scare you it's definitely the people and the vibe that keeps you here. We witnessed people from all walks of life from Tesla to bicycle singing and sharing moments that can't be duplicated. Had a blast and can't wait to go back!

    This place should be kept a secret and limited to invitees only. I almost didn't want to review…read morefor that reason as I'm not sure everyone should check it out. It has a special, magical charm of the perfect dive bar. I'm ignoring my previous trip there as, well, I should not have brought that person to this place. This place is not for pretentious people. Thus I was at home at this spot. It looks camouflaged by plain wrapping with a boring exterior. Open the door and it is a world of more things to explore than you have time to. You are treated like family as a stranger. Be ready to be among people who want to know you. I guess I fit as some there knew my friends from other dive bars. I never realized how small the Dallas Dive bar world was. I have some cool friends. The music is good on the video jukebox. The tears came to my eyes as a few post 9/11 patriotic songs were played (I bleed Army green and so did some that didn't return home to their moms intact.) Glad none there saw my eyes or noticed my toast to my memories. The couple dancing on the next song made me feel more at home. Good thing a good 2 step or waltz never played or I might have had to find a partner. The decor is somewhat Green Bay Packer-ish. Okay, a lot of Green Bay love in the decor. Heh, yes, I still carry a grudge from the 1967 Ice Bowl as a life long Cowboy fan should! But, I respect a bar owner who has actual stock in his/her team and displays it proudly! So that adds another star or would that be Starr? The patrons make this one special. This is one of the great dive bars!

    I was in town for a work trip and this also happened to coincide with my birthday. We went to…read moredinner at a nearby restaurant and were looking for a place that had live music and the first suggestion was the balcony club. We were told to get there early because there is not a lot of seating and the place fills up quick so once we finished dinner, we just went straight over there and we got there around 7 PM and it wasn't very busy. It was also such a special day for the club because it was the owners anniversary of owning the club and they were also honoring one of the musicians who is a long time performer at the club, so I got to be a part of such a great celebratory experience for this venue all around and it felt so special. You can see that the owner has curated a space where not only musicians come to show their talent, but people come for real love of music and community. It seemed like everyone there was family with one another and everyone was just so welcoming. It was not busy when we got there, but it was standing room only by the time we left around 11 PM so I would say if you are planning on going get there early. Anytime I am back in the Dallas area I am going to make sure to come here. They do not serve any food, but the drinks were fantastic and the music was top-tier.

    Hard Pass! Let me start by saying that I used to hang out…read morethere regularly, in the 90's, when it was a smokey, legitimate, jazz bar. It's been a while since I went so we decided to go. What a mistake! First of all, there was a $20/person cover charge. For what?! The band? The first band that was playing was four guys that looked to be drunk frat boys playing poorly and hardly knew the words to the song they played. The second band was fronted by a guy who was so flat it hurt my ears. They were no better than a band playing at weddings, which they did promote themselves to be available for. The song choice terrible! Footloose?! I know it was a predominantly white crowd but come on! Then when they did sing an Earth Wind and Fire song, they were so bad that Maurice White was probably turning over in his grave. What a sad state of affairs!
