Last night we went to One Nasty to celebrate my 30th birthday. I got engaged last month, so there was lots to celebrate. We were talking with this drunk lady and she pulled me up on stage and started dancing with me. She then pulled my fiancé up on stage too. He picked me up and twirled me around - that's when the owner came over to us and starting cursing profusely at us, telling us to get the f*** out. The bartender proceeds to come over and shoves my fiancé against a wall and starts threatening him. I am absolutely disgusted by their behavior, they escalated things so quickly and for no reason. Inappropriate and uncalled for. read more

Same experience as most are posting on here. If I could give negative stars I would. The bartender and her partner were extremely rude. When I pointed it out that she did not need to be so rude she threw "F" bombs at me and her bar mate told me to get the "F" out. I told him I would be happy to get out, once I got back to my table to tell my friends and family what happened, he came over, pushed through me, grabbed my beer and threw it on the ground. Luckily my son-in-law stepped between us and we left. I cannot believe people like this are in business serving people. I would never recommend anyone to go to this bar. read more

The owner of the bar is rude and makes people feel very uncomfortable. Look at reviews before you bring big parties to this place.

Poor service and in disrepair. Not really a good dive bar. Probably will only exist as a place for the owner to just hang out, as I doubt they make much money. read more

Oh wow, so after being in the bar for about 5 minutes we had the red headed female bartender (named Andrea, after seeing other terrible reviews) tell us to fuck off and the older boy who was assisting her with the black hair and goatee (chase, maybe?) throw drinks in our face after screaming that we refused to pay...when the bartender who insisted she was too busy doing her job to check ID's didn't ring us up...we were clearly still sitting in the bar area, waiting patiently to happily pay our check, and the voter guy told us to "get the fuck out", was getting physically aggressive with my father yet telling him "don't fucking touch me keep your hands off of me"...when HE was the one putting his hands on us and throwing drinks all over us and our phones. WILD!!!! It's also literally the shittiest dive bar I've ever seen, don't understand how there could be such bad fucking vibes with patrons who genuinely just want to have a good time and karaoke. Yall, THERE ARE SO MANY KARAOKE SPOTS!!! I PROMISE YOU WILL NOT REGRET GOING THERE INSTEAD, SERIOUSLY!!! Every single good review left on here is from a ghost account of their employees, it's the only explanation for this place having more than 1 stars lmaooooo Have NEVER experienced anything like this, ever, EVER!!!! Being told to "fuck off" by an employee while waiting for a check? I guess there's a first for everything! Chase and Andrea, you need help honies!!!! read more

I had heard the staff and management was awful. I had to see for myself. They were right! I just moved to the area and was told by many not to go, I should have listened! A man sat next to me and after ordering his first drink the bar tender, she told him he needs to tip or get out! It was blatantly obvious the guy did not have a lot to his name, not judging. I am there too. For the bartender to do that in front of everyone was disrespectful and selfish. I had words with her and the owner. They told me to get the "F"out or she would kick my ass! Definitely not classy! So I recorded her as it got hostile and she was flipping me off and saying she would knock the phone out of my "Fn" hand! She called the cops on me for defending someone. Saddest 2 hours of my life! read more

Admittedly we had a good time here despite the negatives but we can have fun in a cardboard box. Drinks were kinda shitty and the service was absolutely lacking. Kind of had a cliquey feel because it seemed like the entirety of the mid 30's population of lake highlands and Lakewood were there. Probably wouldn't go back honestly. read more

I give this bar an absolute ZERO! Went here to get a drink and it was DISGUSTING! The bartender was very disrespectful and very offstandish. I wouldn't go here if it was the ONLY bar open in Dallas. read more

Well you asked for a 1 star review when I left, well here it goes. 1. If you are not a day drinking alcoholic don't think you're going to play on the pool table. ( open for a few certain friends and that's it ) Doesn't want it to have a " pool hall feel " It's only for a select few and if you're not one well then why have a pool table in the first place? The ad on google says open till 2am Was "cut off at 1am" because they said so. ( don't ask them why ) They have to the biggest dumpster fire garbage excuse of an audio system for karaoke, the logic and programming is from the early 2000's. The gentlemen that owns it all is a good dude, but good lord he does not want to up grade anything. Imagine hearing every single fly and bug buzzing at the same time and boom you got their Friday night. This place is seriously on its way out of the door because of places 100% nicer pool tables Better audio systems Bar tenders Overall ambience But if you would like to visit a dive bar with the worst customer service than this is your place. Keep in mind no pool tables unless you're a day drinker, garbage audio, open till 2am but stops serving at 1am. If you like that then this is your place. To the big bad biker dude behind the bar. I've got more time down range in a port-a-pooper than you do behind that bar you don't scare me so don't act all big and bad you're not a hero. The other older female bartender will also talk shit if you do not tip at least 40% Long story short let this bar die out and go to Yogie's and get actual service and pool tables. You asked when I left to leave a 1 star review and here it is. Good luck keeping up with several bars that are literally two times better than that dump. I mean come on look at the reviews. You've got " pinned " reviews from 2009 ( I'll post them ) All of the real reviews didn't seem to make it. I'll share them. Don't waste you're time here. read more

If I'm taking the time to write this you need to read it. I only give it one STAR because I have too. This is a, and I quote, "a shit hole in the wall!" Many of my Kareoke friends have quit attending this venue. The manger Kent and his staff are mean and bias to many of its customers. I'm a singer song writer and have been attending this place off and on for 5 years or more, I've seen the staff put hands on people, push them out, and allow others who are not staff do the same. I being one of them. I was disrespected by a group of people, who push themselves into my space, after securing my seat long before they arrived. I asked the people politely to move along before words were shared and the managers took their side and disrespectfully pushed me out. Kent has called people Niger and seems to be a bigot himself, with his conduct and with customers who don't agree with him. It's unbecoming of his management and himself to do so. One of biggest problem, it's way over crowed, no dance floor, and I've heard many customers complain and leave. The drinks are NOT strong. They use plastic cups with lots of ice. There is no food if you are wanting dinner. If you like bottle beer good luck. They charge extra for limes as well. They get you on your close out. If you don't close out they will charge the maximum 20%. I was charged $5.00 on two can beers! I learned to tip cash now although I will NEvER attend this place again. There are better alternatives. Try Dallasite Billards, Addison Point, Forney Ice House, Ronnie Rays Kareoke, Dave's Karaoke, Copperhead's Kareoke, Scooters and O'Reillys in Garland just to name a few. You would be glad you did! This is a HORRIFIC Horrible bar! Mean spirited management. They have been turned into the better business beau read more

The owner eats his fast food at the end of the bar every day while he refuses to listen to music and have a legit ambiance because he would rather watch jeopardy. Drinks are over priced for a dive bar. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I've been back several times, and even had my birthday here. I just wish this bar was closer to Deep Ellum. But luckily I find myself on this side of town every now and then. Right now the pool table is broken so don't waste your time and put money in, just grab the balls (heh) from the open side of the table. Also, shots seem to be really expensive here since the last two times I went the bar tab was around $50 for shots and domestic beers. I'll have to investigate that and maybe steer clear next time. And another note is the karaoke lady is kind of bossy. I didn't know karaoke was about to start when I was trying to play a few songs on the juke box. She didn't need to be rude. Anyway, I've not had a bad time at this place! read more

They guilt tripped my date into tipping because "no one in our party had tipped"... we all had open tabs at the bar and we're having a good time until... Anyways beware about this scheme they like to play. Same thing happened to another friend of mine last time we were here. Otherwise the karaoke is super fun! read more

This is the ultimate "have too much to drink and have too much fun to think" type of place. When you arrive, you are greeted by grannies, aunties, grandpas, tios, cousins, and college somethings all wanting to accomplish one thing: to sing their heart out with no regrets (after 3 tequila shots, it is no "ragrats") surrounded by an audience who wants nothing more than to cheer you on in all your glory. This is literally the most accurate review of the One Nasty: 1. Drink 2. Sing 3. Have fun *drops mic* read more

One Nostalgia Tavern - Karaoke and lots of laughs - Karaoke Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I love this bar! I've been coming here for years and the staff and owner are exceptionally friendly! They will not however put up with women being creeped out by men or anyone showing drunk or bad behavior. Love the karaoke and service! read more

Check your bill! First time in and WILL NEVER RETURN! After multiple drinks and a high bar bill, the bartender added his own big tip with the owner sitting right there. He knows! Check your bill before paying and check your account after it clears. Better yet, DO NOT GO THERE AT ALL!! Super wrong, One Nostalgia!!! read more

I love the karaoke here, and the DJ is the best there is. He makes me sound better than I deserve to and goes out of his way through take care of folks. The low review is because of one bartender. Within minutes of us walking in and finding the only open table in the back corner, she approached a friend aggressively and said that if we didn't start ordering, we'd get kicked out for loitering. Mind you, I alone had just ordered two cocktails. I heard her complaining a few minutes later about us moving chairs over -- when I was at the bar spending more money. We ordered many drinks, in fact. Yes, some people in our group weren't drinkers. But to come at us so aggressively? I was disappointed and unimpressed. Truly, I have never had more distasteful service. The two other staff members were fine. Please reconsider this approach to customer service. read more

my wife and I arrived for a cocktail and we had no idea what was in store for us. the owner was cursing at a patron and another customer threw a glass at the bar. never again... we were definitely on the wrong side of town. he told us to leave because we told him his manners were terrible. read more

I was here last weekend and the atmosphere was incredible. Great drinks! Me and my friends also had fun with karaoke!

A dive bar that meets all the criteria. Great juke box, shuffle board, pool and karaoke. Come to have fun, sing bad and drink drinks. Be cool, don't be a d**k and you'll add this dive to your go to places for a great time. read more

I really love this bar. I started going here almost 4 years ago when I was an intern in Dallas. I've always loved hole-in-the-wall dive bars, so I knew this would become my favorite place when I walked in. I've come to love the patrons and the staff there. Highly recommend if you're a fan of karaoke and strong drinks! read more

place seemed like a great spot if you're white and over 50 the manager or employee came up to me and asked me to leave bc I was wearing a tank top with no sleeves but my friend a girl had a spaghetti strap shirt no cover, but yet they only asked me to leave. Never come here. If you read my review you can assume why. read more

Visiting Dallas from LA, we decided to stop at this dive bar. I could say, this is the first time I felt discriminated against. Bar tender/owner was rude and makes you feel unwelcome. I don't recommend this bar. read more

Always a great time at one nostalgia! My husband and I always stay for drinks and karaoke when we are in the area, and have never left disappointed. Always enjoy talking with the bartenders and owner. Definitely the place to go if you are looking for an authentic bar experience and a good time! read more

We use to come here quite a bit several years ago, but after witnessing a customer get punched in the face by two older guys and then shortly after the same guys chase a second customer out of the bar and the ownership and staff encourage these actions, this will definitely be our last. This is not the same place I remember. The negative reviews are spot on. If your looking for a fight and poor service this is your place. If you're looking for a fun night out with quality service there are other dive/karaoke bars out there to spend your money and time at. read more

The owner and bartenders are ruining this bar. Last night a group of friends and I witnessed a guy at the bar give a girl a high five only to be punched in the face and chased out of the bar by the bartenders. The bartenders were rude and provoked the situation when it was unwarranted. I will never return to this bar again. read more

I went to this place last night with a group of friends and I must say this is one of the worst bars ever. The employees/ bartenders were very rude and unprofessional! My group was kicked out because we called them out on their rudeness after I was trying to order a drink. I believe there was some miscommunication but instead of handling in a professional manner they decided to act in a total unprofessional manner. read more

Incredibly weird and uncomfortable experience. The bartender and owner were verbally abusing another party as we walked in. When we went to order our drinks the bartender rolled her eyes. I asked for a water a while later and was told "no". Don't waste your time or money. You might walk into a dangerous situation. read more

I don't know why this place is so crowded on the weekends. If you want something other than beer, look forward to way overpriced, shitty well drinks. The bartenders are insanely rude on purpose and treat people terribly. All the reviews you read about how they talk to people and treat people are accurate. My review would be way too long for anyone to read if I put all the stories I had. So just trust the one stars and other reviews and don't support this place. read more

This place sucks. They hate it if you're having fun. Doesn't matter how much you're paying for drinks they hate you.Do not go!!!

Loved this place until the evening of May 6 when the bartender team shoved a guy to the floor and started punching him in the head. The guy was young, drunk, and defenseless. Then they started yelling and swearing at anyone attempting to step in to break it up. Force was way excessive, regardless of anything the kid did to anger them. read more

This is one of my favourite bars in Dallas, especially the Sunday open mic night. This is such a supportive and great bar environment. The owner Kent and Amiti who works the bar are my favourite people! They are super supportive and nice! The drinks are cheap, you can play pool here and the bar feels like home. Love the wooded feel the bar has, the shuffleboard, the jukebox and they have a full bar. Love this place! Come by and have a drink. Cheers! read more

It was Halloween 2014, and I can't really say that I remember what happened 30 minutes and 5 drinks after walking into this charming little hole in the wall karaoke/dive bar. All I can say is that I once told myself I would never take part in karaoke. Never say never when copious amounts of vodka is involved, my friends. read more

Went here for a friends birthday. I was sure the older crowd was displeased with our arrival but as the night progressed the crowd got you get and younger. The beers were cheap and the karaoke was fierce. The bar is definitely older and has the nice dive-y lived in feel but there was plenty of room to sit, dance, and overall shake your groove thing if you so chose to. I'll be back for sure! read more
