[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool outside, inside needs some updates.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks were good. Didn't try the food. Will definitely be back. read more

haven't been here in quite a while. Was not really all that satisfied with our meal. OK burger, onion rings that were underdone and tasted like raw flour. Bologna sandwich was ordered with lettuce tomato and mayonnaise. Nothing else. A bologna sandwich with tomato and mustard, no lettuce and cheese glued to the bun. I do applaud management for removing the bologna sandwich from our tab. very nice attentive server. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service , great prices, plenty of TVs and they play good music too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great spot on McKinney Ave.

They make really yummy cosmos here! We accidentally came on a night when the game was on, so it was crazy crowded and loud, but we were able to still get a table right away and get our drinks! Cute place, would definitely want to try this again when it's less crazy! read more

New to the neighborhood, my gf and I are on a mission to try all the restaurants near our place. Since Loon was a 5 min walk, we decided to have dinner on a Wednesday night and we were definitely pleased. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loon is a cool little neighborhood spot with outdoor patio seating and several tables inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's self seat, so find a table and a waitress/waiter will be by shortly. We were immediately greeted by Brandon. He was personable and quick to offer drinks and suggestions for food. I will say that their menu has a little something for everyone! The prices are reasonable and sizes are plentiful. I ordered a Sauvignon Blanc and the bartender was generous with the pour! My gf ordered an Old Fashioned and it solid! For dinner, we ordered Hot Lemon Pepper Wings, cheesy tots and Chicken Franseca. The wings had more spice than lemon pepper but they were still very tasty and fried well! Tots.. how can you go wrong lol..delish! The chicken breast for the Franseca was fried perfectly laid over a bed of Fettuccine. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce was garlicky and creamy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also noticed that they have game nights on Wednesday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll definitely be back for good food, drinks and fun! read more

At first glance, it looks like a decent dive bar, but after seating ourselves as the sign suggested. We waited for 10 minutes before I had to get my own menu. Then ordered a Kentucky mule and they had never heard of it. So I ordered a bourbon neat. Once we got the waitress's we ordered nachos. They took 25 mins to bring them out and as you can see from the photo, it was store bought tortilla chips, store bought shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and pickled jalapeño. We haven't seen our waitress since she sat down the underwhelming nachos. DON'T waste your time here. read more

I love the fact that we have a restaurant that is affordable and so close to where we live. The people that work there are so welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a low key environment which I also love.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The burgers are great, fries are amazing. Pizza is great too! Highly recommend! read more

I love this place taco & tequila Tue are me an my friends favorite. Everyone's super friendly it's always a good time.

A great neighborhood vibe with a "Cheers" type of where everyone there knows your name. Most of the customers are regulars and the bartenders make sure to let you know who they are and where they work! I went on a Tuesday! I highly recommend! $2.50 tacos that are huge and tasty and $5 tequila shots. I will be back! read more

The Loon Bar & Grill - $5 Termans shots oooweeee - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

March 25, 2024 myself and a few friends came to this establishment to have an evening out with food and drinks. It was raining and we went inside to stay dry and wait for a table to come available. A waiter came by and informed us to stand by the door and Trivia will be ending soon so that we could grab a seat. shortly after the manager a short lady with the bob came over to us being very nasty and rude, she stated I need yall to go outside because it's to crowded, mean while their was no one in the door other than just us and standing to the side. so I made the statement is their a reason your asking is to go outside in a rude way, she proceeds to smack her lips and roll her eyes and open the door starting at us like you need to move right now. I again ignored her she was being very rude with her delivery and I again asked her is this your way of asking us can we step outside, she stated whatever and mumbled something. I had to tell her again that she was being very nasty and rude and she tries to switch up to being nice after she sees other people noticing her behavior. I will never step another foot into this place to be treated nasty and expect my to spend me money for unwanted treatment. do not go here as a black person if you don't want to experience the racist treatment by the owner the short white lady with the bob. read more

I came here because nothing was open past 10pm on a Sunday.

Left on hold for about 13 minutes while trying to place a simple to go pickup order. Finally hung up and ordered from somewhere else.

My favorite spot for all the puppy love. The loon is our local dive-bar that offers a great atmosphere (puppy love), access to water bowls on the patio, and did I mention our own Puppy menu (check out photos)! With the option of being open every day and late nights on Fridays and Saturdays; I'm able to come here when I want and just enjoy the patio with friends (humans and pups). For the mommies and daddies; there's a full bar and a great human menu from apps, sandwiches and entrees (mommies fav: chicken fried chicken)! Come play with me and don't forget to say hi to all my aunts and uncles (owners and employees)! Update: now open til 2am on Thursdays.....karaoke starting at 8pm read more

We love coming here! Great sports bar to catch a local game at. Super casual with lots of regulars. Would highly recommend checking out their pizza deals on Mondays. read more

I wanted to go to a sports bar to watch the basketball game between Iowa and South Carolina! Booom off the chain. I got the feeling we were having too much fun. Kinda loudly, I would say! The bartender was a complainer! Not friendly at all. We ordered food! I had a rueben sandwich and onion rings, and my friends had burgers! The food was OK. The onion rings was not all that. The batter fell off the big, thick slice of onions. The burgers looked good. I didn't pick up on any friendly vibes. It's like I was outta place. I may go back, but it will be a while. read more

Loved this bar. Kind of Divey. Not from Texas but the bartender was really nice. If I'm back in town i am considering coming back to this place! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place to watch football.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was almost like being at the game![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wings were great and staff works really hard. Will definitely go back again. read more

An actual "Neighborhood Bar and Grill" whose owners are on-site, daily. Very attentive staff. And after your third visit, they know your preferences. Fun, diverse crowd. A sports bar, but it's easy to tune that out if you're not into it. The menu offers something for almost everyone. The salmon is incredible...the sandwiches are also a good choice. The restrooms could use some work, but are passable. Unless you're a hard-core karaoke fan, skip that night. read more

Took us over 2 hours to get our food, waitresses were more worried about their friends and karaoke. An hour in they told my friend they didn't have pork chops, ridiculous. When we finally got our food half of the party didn't get theirs. The waitress tried blaming it on the kitchen but this was not the kitchens fault at all read more

The Loon Bar & Grill - Singing karaoke instead of waiting on tables - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Fun and super casual sports bar in the Uptown area. Great place to sit inside or on the outdoor sidewalk patio to catch a game and enjoy brews or cocktails. They also serve food but I haven't tried their bites yet. We sat outside this past weekend and enjoyed fresh air and good cocktails to pass some time. It was fun people watching and a mixed crowd of young 20s something and older folks too. The drinks were pretty good and somewhat strong...we enjoyed Tito's soda with a splash of cranberry. The service was great and our server was super attentive! read more

The Loon Bar & Grill - a drink and menu - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The Owner of this establishment and her customer/elderly friend are condescending and unprofessional. The Owner allowed her customer friend to walk up on us, to tell us what we are doing wrong. The owner came outside to our table with aggressive behaviors to the point her husband had to calm her down. I will not be going back read more

I was there for a cocktail. First time I've ever been there. The owner was intoxicated and started an issue with a table that just walked in. Stated some racial tones. Followed them to the parking lot. I will never be back. The disrespect towards paying customers was crazy. Bartenders quit that same night. I suggest finding somewhere else to go. They treat people very disrespectfully read more

Delicious spinach salad with strawberries, blueberries, candied pecans with just the right amount of goat cheese and balsamic dressing. Add the grilled salmon. Easily a $20 salad but @theloon, it was under $12. #neighborhoodbar #foodie read more

We just found this place and WHAT a find!!!!! It looks like a bar ... it is a really fun and good bar. The drinks are the kind of drinks you would make at home. Definitely a bargain for what you get. But...THE FOOD...oh my, this is a hidden gem for dinner. Or lunch or brunch. I recommend the lasagna. And brunch breakfast tacos. A definite must if you are looking for a fun, delicious meal. I've told my friends...go for the food, stay for the fun. read more

The Loon Bar & Grill - Lasagna, house salad and wine. I opted out on the garlic bread - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The Loon continues to be a diamond in the rough in uptown. Largely Italian menu in a 'hole in the wall' atmosphere, reminds me of pubs in New England. I remember this place from two locations ago, from when I used to work in uptown. (The current location used to be Patrizio's pizza). It was a value leader then, and continues to be today. Staff is nice and friendly. Service was a little slow during the cowboys game on a Sunday, but I can excuse that, due to the game. Glad to see this place still thriving through the evolution of uptown. read more

This is my 2nd visit to The Loon for the MSU Watch Party and both experiences have been stellar. The staff are friendly, helpful, and quick...Melinda anticipate my needs before I knew I had one! Holly went out of her way to address a number of people by their first names. The staff never stopped moving or lost their enthusiasm for the crowd. I will continue to return...even after the Spartan's season is over. Go Green! read more

The Loon Bar & Grill - Customized pizza on half price pizza Mondays - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Strong drinks, good food, and a relaxed atmosphere - awesome! This is the American version of an English pub, with colder beer! I loved the decor; dead animals wearing scarves, dark woods, with neighborhood regulars in comfy but cluttered seating! Parking is limited, but the first few peops get valet. Staff is friendly, informative, and fun. Did I say the drinks are STRONG? They won me over with my first Vodka & Red Bull! The menu is more expansive than a normal bar, hence the 'pub' reference. They have everything from tasty burgers to chicken-fried steak! The Beef Nachos and Chicken Quesadillas were just right! Did I mention the drinks? Can't wait to go back!! read more

Fantastic neighborhood restaurant/bar which seems to mostly attract the immediate locals, most of which seemingly live walking distance away and seem to all know each other as greetings, hellos, and hugs are commonplace here amongst the clientele. The Food is outstanding and the drinks potent, and having had (almost) everything on their menu, you won't be disappointed! read more

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I experience some unusual behavior with the owner and the owners friend, the manager allowed her to disrespect customers for fun very aggressive behavior.

I used to go to the Loon in its former spot on Lemon Ave, friends said it reopened on Mckinney Ave and let's meet there for dinner and watch the playoff games. First it was pretty loud in there yet we could still hear each other, which is a plus. The food same very good food as the original spot. We had the fried Jalapeños, which were very tasty jumbo size in fact and just the right amount of heat. The burger was cooked a perfect medium well and loaded, almost had to unhinge my jaw to eat it! The tator tots were hot and not greasy ( as they should be). Service was the same as before fast, friendly and made sure our drinks were cold and recommended some selections to try. If you haven't been to the new location go, it's worth the trip especially if you were a fan of the original Loon. read more
