I doorman was very friendly and welcomed me in. However, it took forever to be acknowledged to order something. There were two girls working the bar. It wasn't very busy but the attention to customers was almost impossible. The girls were borderline rude and came off as if they were bothered when you're trying to order. Place is definitely a dive bar and most likely you'll have a better service if you're a regular.

They charged 80 bucks for the 6 attempts at making drinks we were forced to witness, after telling the "bartender" how to make them and not being told she didn't have half the ingredients only after we'd been charged and served the drinks. When we tried to order food, we got yelled at "CHICKEN WING ONLY!" and then waited an hour plus, just to have them cancelled because we were done watching cockroaches crawl across the floor and bar. This place is an absolute sh!thole. Don't waste your time.

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!

HIDE Christmas Pop-Up Edition From the outside, HIDE was…read moresuper festive and eye-catching. Inside, there are two themed rooms: a toy-themed main bar and a Grinch-inspired second room, which I loved . There's also a rooftop, which I didn't make it up to see but adds to the overall appeal. The drinks were cute and very Christmas-inspired, which is perfect for the holiday vibe. Food-wise was a little less exciting. I had the Nashville hot dry-rub wings (waiter recommended). They were just okay. Definitely not the flavor I expected. I should've gone with the honey hot. The dirty fries, loaded with cheese, bacon, and peppers were really good, especially with ranch and ketchup . If you're looking for a cute holiday pop-up with festive décor and fun drinks, HIDE is worth checking out. Food and drinks start around $15 and up, so you're definitely paying for the experience

A low-lit lounge and bar, a space that feels intimate and yet, the music playing from the speakers (not too loud, just there) gives it an expectant energy, too. It's the kind of place you enjoy being because it feels like an experience. I'm going to have a unique, well-made drink tonight in a cool spot. The cocktail menu seems like it's updated every season or so, the bartenders/creators' names featured on the cover. Very cool. Will definitely be back.

Anna was the hostess during the time i went who took my number down to add me to the wait list. She was soft spoken (welcoming with just that) and not to mention, GORGEOUS.

Unfortunately, this experience tainted my previous visits, and I'm not sure if I'll be back.

There is plenty of room to dance and also sit. If you want bottles service for those very busy sold out shows, it's more for convenience of not having to go to the bar and to have a home base to sit if needed. Definitely not the VIP pretentious typical bottle service. Otherwise regular tickets are just as great! Were here to dance, right? Staff is always kind, welcoming and friendly. They also do have a job to do, so there are times they have to be firm and they are not about the riff raff. Respect them and the club and they will respect you. ​This is a club that remembers why we go out in the first place. This spot strips away all the superficial nonsense of the typical nightlife scene--there's no dress code to stress over and no "gatekeeper" energy. It's a rare, comfortable, no-frills atmosphere where a shared love for the music is the only thing that matters. ​This isn't a place to "be seen"; it's a space to be yourself. Whether you're a pro dancer or just vibrating in the corner, nobody is judging your style or your outfit. It's pure, unfiltered energy. If you want to dance like nobody is watching with a room full of people doing the exact same thing, you've found home. ​Go for the sound, stay for the community. Come as you are and come to dance.
