This bar is a lot of fun and has a great vibe. I've had a lot of fun here since moving into Post Addison Circle. My only complaint (and it's a big one) is that the service is not great. Most people that work here don't seem to care about their job or the people they are supposed to be taking care of. My parents were in town and we stopped by for some food and drinks. When the waitress finally came over to our table she was very rude and unhelpful. It was apparently a huge inconvenience that we had asked to see a menu. We definitely got the feeling she did not want our money and we all ended up leaving before ordering. Having said that, it's a bar. Great place to get drinks and kick back with some friends, just don't expect any kind of consistent or courteous service. read more

I visited The Mucky Duck on Saturday October 1st. My visit was mainly to see a friend of mine that works there. I was hesitent to journey to a place that I had never been, as I'm an early stages of transition transexual, and this is one of the occassions I got dressed up, to go out. But moments after arriving and seeing my friend Crystal, my fears subsided as I found a table off to the side. The Mucky Duck in a nice place to visit and return to. Several of the televisions had the Rangers game on and most of the croud was into the game. Over the course of my visit I enjoyed several margaritas. If your looking for a nicer neighborhood type bar and such, I would recommend this place. It also has pretty much the same vibe that the big city of Dallas has even though it is in Addison. I'll definately return, ans perhaps try something from the menu the next time, and stay for the live music on Saturday evenings. read more

Perfect place to come on a Sunday afternoon to relax with some good grub and an ice cold beer. The crowd isnt rowdy, so it's perfect for unwinding or watching a game. Plus you can walk around the park afterwards, great date night spot! read more

Always a friendly and attentive staff, fun atmosphere and good bar food. Sometimes neighborhood bars like this are not always welcoming to new faces but this would definitely not be the case with Mucky Duck. read more

Well... hmmmm... Addison is difficult for me in terms of finding those gritty little hole in the walls.... so, with that said, I liked this place. I took a larger group of work related people here... they were in town for a conference. They gave me hell for not taking the to that amazing place I usually do, but I didn't book them in Addison, so this is what I selected. Wed $3 specials for HH, but they were out of two taps right after we arrived at like 5:15? We had a new waitress and we managed to scare her away in under 10 minutes (I'm really sorry sweetie). The seasoned waitress handled us like a pro once we all settled in. Individual checks for a group, cuddos to you for keeping up! Beer selection didn't really tickle my fancy and I had to send back the bloody mary to actually get it "spicy"... oh, and I said NO salt, but got salt anyway. Whatev's.. The apps were tasty and appreciated by all at the table. I really like the Frickle and Shrooms! But... the brisket tacos were a fail for me :( the fries were addictive though... I don't think anyway was like "Holy crap this is good"... so, I'll say its food for the bar and leave it at that. It's dark in here (a plus) with nice wood accents all over. The minus in general was smoking indoors... but I understand this is all over Addison, so what can I say? I think parking in this part of Addison can be really tricky once the place fills in. read more

I was super hesitant to walk into this place. Just looked dead, dark, and kind of weird from the outside. Once I got inside it was completely different. Pretty packed. Live music. Lots of liveliness. Our group couldn't find a table and so we ended up going out to the back patio. I thought it was going to be a miserable time but it turned out pretty well. They had solid shades on the back for blocking the wind, as well as heaters. At first the heaters weren't on since we were the only ones outside, but the bouncer at the back was extremely accommodating to whatever we needed temperature wise and turned them on/off for us as needed. The beer selection was okay. Definitely pricier than other places like The Ginger Man, or even other bars in Addison. But overall it was pretty good. read more

I liked the ambience and the fact that it did not smell like cigarettes. I ordered the trash bucket and loved the concept. Everything tasted good but it was mostly fries. There were only about 3 fried pickles. It was Fat Tuesday so they had gumbo special. It was HORRIBLE! Tasted like they used canned chicken and rice soup mixed with some seasoning. It was all juice. I got a half piece of sausage, yay. The texture of the one tiny size of chicken tasted like the chicken out of a can of soup. If they are going to be that cheap...the least they could to was add more rice. Granted, the little bowl was only $2 cash, but good lord...take a little pride in what you cook! read more

The Mucky Duck Bar - Junk bucket - Pubs Near Me - Addison, Texas

For a pub the food is pretty good. Fish and chips all day Wednesday for half off are awesome! I also recommend The Bewb or The Mac (burger with Mac and cheese) for burgers, both are on a pretzel burger and both are delicious. The only thing about the atmosphere I don't prefer is that people can smoke indoors so it smells very smokey inside. read more

The Mucky Duck Bar - The Mac burger, has Mac and cheese with bacon. - Pubs Near Me - Addison, Texas

This bar was so freaking cute and fun, I just wanted to put it in my pocket and take it back to vegas with me! Classic hole in the wall with friendly bar staff, decent prices and fun trivia games. Loved it! read more

The Mucky Duck Bar - Pubs Near Me - Addison, Texas

Forgot to mention! They have Lagunitas IPA on tap, so that's the key! Love this the most!

Typical after work bar. A LOT of regulars and average food. Service is constantly sub-par, these waitresses just don't really care about your experience. If you sit outside on the patio, expect even worse service than you get inside. If you are a non-smoker like myself, this is NOT your go-to HH spot. *NOTE: you WILL leave smelling (stinking) of smoke, you've been warned. (Not the place to go if you are telling your S.O. you're working late because you will come home smelling like a bar!) Drink prices are decent and some of the food is palatable: giant pretzel, southwest egg rolls and nachos are all reliable appetizers. Some nights there is trivia or a band or some form of entertainment. People watching is average, but a swanky place but good for a post-work beer or two. read more

We usually go there after work. Happy hours are until 8pm on Friday (whoa nelly!!!) And their HH specials are awesome (both food and drinks). They usually have a one or two many band come in and play, but don't be expecting Simon and Garfunkel (I just aged myself). Whoever they are they are usually entertaining and add to the ambiance. The outdoor area is great, but remember, you are in Addison, where they still allow smoking. But if that's your thing, then go on and do it! You'll have a good time either way. read more

It's like an escape from Dallas, which after a long workday is just what I need and the happy hour brings in a great crowd. The Spinach and Artichoke Dip is the perfect appetizer to munch on. Conveniently located right off the circle in Addison and there's a free taco bar on Thursdays! Yum. read more

Not a bad spot for beer and the food is pretty good for the area when one considers that it is a bar. They have reasonable prices as well. I would definitely say it's the best casual bar in the Addison Circle area. If you live within walking distance it is even better. Free Taco Bar on Thursday nights as well! read more

I come to this Bar quite often and as of lately the quality has gone down, but prices have gone up. The new manager, Kassie, just looks "unhealthy" and has no personality. When I see her talk to the employees, there's no respect being shown! To be honest, probably not going back until she gone. Whatever happened to the old managers they had with personality(e.i. Matt Russ Tommy)?!?! read more

Meh. We came to watch the World Cup ... And while I understand the craziness of the crowd (go USA), I feel as though they weren't able to handle the rush ... or didn't really want to. Reason I say it is that that the table next to us that the servers knew got the attention... drinks when ordered, quick food, etc. Our drinks took a while and our server completely forgot our food order. I think if we didn't see the first class service given to friends next to us versus the rest of the bar it wouldn't have stood out so much. Again, as someone that served for 10+ years I understand the rush of these games and am willing to wait as needed... but seeing friends (maybe even other servers it seemed like on their off day) get treated so differently was very disappointing. read more

There's a good vibe at this bar. Friendly and warm. The beer selection is good. Had the beer pretzel and a friend had the Mac and cheese. Both are delicious! I will definitely be coming back. read more

Oh I love Mucky Duck. It's like a neighborhood bar. It is my go to bar in Addison Circle. I can walk to it from my apartment which is nice, but there's so much more to it than that. They have great beer deals- lots of local/unique choices and most are under or around $5. On happy hour, the deals get crazy. You can get craft beer in cans for $3 on Tuesdays. On Thursdays, there is a free taco bar. They host events for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The bartenders are great. They've all been there a while which shows you that this place treats the staff well. The food is pretty good, but mostly just bar food. It's the atmosphere that really keeps me coming back again and again. It just kinda feels like home read more

Great place for a drink. Service is awesome as well as the prices. We visit quite frequently and the ambiance is nice.

Drinks only: I have been here multiple times just for drinks only. Service/bartenders are always great! A lot of regulars that come here and new people that are looking to have a good time and are willing to have a conversation with you. I've met many new friends here which is awesome! They have a very good beer/drink selection and from what other people have told me their food is delicious. If you are looking for a bar that isn't sketchy or too fancy this is definitely the place for you. I will definitely be a regular here they are great! Dog friendly patio also is a good size bring your pup and enjoy a beer it doesn't get better than that! read more

See all

I'll give the bar itself a good review.. the dj how ever... bro just go home. My pandora playlist does a better job. I didn't even request a song, and was like oh no... zero country and zero music that mattered. My party of 9 left after the dj kept playing songs. Bar has a huge potential but this dj ain't cutting it. 12/29/17. Mucky Duck please figure this out read more

I'm new to Addison. Moved here yesterday actually, and I've been trying to find my new hangout. This may very well be it. Suuuuper friendly bartender (Rachel) and the patrons were great as well. Several people at the bar filled me in on all the happenings here in town. Had some chicken tacos but I won't factor those into the review because I'm a Mexican food snob from San Diego. They were totally edible. read more

Mucky Duck the best bar in Addison Clr they have the best bartender in dallas come check them out. Tell Ashley to hook-it-up :) Curtis Wilson read more

The best dive bar. The staff here is AMAZING. Anyone who wants to have consistent tasty bar food along with prompt drink service should come here. Also, the security guard is fantastic!! All in all, if you live in the Post Addison area, Mucky Duck is the way to go. read more

Love this place! Their pretzel and cheese fries are addictive. Prompt fast service and mostly friendly. They do get packed sometimes so its hard to find a table from time to time, but that's to be expected at times. Drinks are decent and the DJ plays a pretty good selection of throwback songs when he is there. Highly recommend for those late night cravings! read more

Always wanted to try this cozy looking pub off of the main hustle and bustle of Beltline. First impression was great...decor was dark and comfortable, cool ceiling lights, good spacing between tables, etc.... Music seemed a little loud and more suited for a dance floor than a relaxing drink at 7:30pm, but no biggie. Then we sat at the bar. Bartender asked what we wanted then seemed annoyed that we asked for a drink menu. A couple of the cocktails looked good so we each ordered one. He said he didn't think he had all the ingredients for one then abruptly walked away. I guess he found them since he started mixing our drinks a few minutes later. As he was shaking them, someone else said he looked good doing that. He replied with "I f*cking hate mixing these drinks. Worst part of my job" right in front of us which didn't make us feel great or welcome. That pretty much sums up the experience... Didn't feel great or welcome. The drinks themselves were ok but the bartender made it clear this won't be a place for us to revisit. read more

Great neighborhood bar w/ great youngsters that run the place. They are actually cool to us old school people that were brought up w/a customer service mentality! Imagine that! Great place to chill & watch games & your glass / drink is never dry / empty! The only negative is that it closes at two & the next day cotton mouth! A must when visiting The Circle! read more

I was here for the happy hour and they had my college basketball team playing on the big screen. Very good happy hour $3 draft and wells. Plus $5 apps. read more

The Mucky Duck Bar - Pubs Near Me - Addison, Texas

I have only been to this establishment twice, and I will NEVER be back. As well as I do not encourage any minority to go to this establishment. Tonight I went to enjoy St Patrick's Day with a friend and had the most awful experience ever. I had asked Jake, who was walking around taking care of other customers, for a food menu. He acted as if he did not want to acknowledge me. He eventually dropped off a food menu. When I was ready to order I asked if I could order from him and in the most rudest way I was told no and that I needed to order from the bar. Which is fine, but there was no need to be extremely rude. I felt that I deserved an apology from him. I proceeded to the completely full bar to order. The only open area was at the end of the bar. Jake was there and I was highly upset by the way he spoke to me so I had asked him if I could speak to a manager. He pointed at the head bartender and proceeded to say "what are you upset?" as if he knew he was in the wrong. I replied yes and I deserve an apology b/c the way you spoke to me was unacceptable. This man inconsiderately said "sorry" and proceeded to shove me out his way, YES HE PUT HIS HANDS ON ME. THAT IS EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE!! No employee should EVER put their hands on a customer. The head bartender was extremely nice and understanding of my concern however I feel action needs to be taken. I felt so uncomfortable at the establishment after Jakes actions. Jake then proceeded to take another customers food order after telling me I had to order at the bar. Hmmm, I wonder why...(racist) Jake needs to be fired and I will be contacting the general manager and getting in contact with the owners as well. read more

The bone in wings are available and are the best. So happy they kept them. The music is very random and too heavy metal when the biker bartender works. Servers are friendly. Thursday night there is a free taco bar. read more

Nice dive bar I went on trivia night and it was awesome atmosphere.. they had a great drink special going on and it was nice.. they have a nice patio too read more

Wow, what an amazing first time experience! Thank you Matt, for being attentive and open to assisting my work group during Happy Hour.

I always enjoy Mucky Duck. Good specials including happy hours, 1/2 priced fish & chips on Wed and free taco Barr on Thurs HH. It is dark in there and can loud but wait staff is always friendly read more

I've been here in a few with some friends and alone on a few occasions. I usually enjoy the great atmosphere and the people I've met here have been amazing! The bartenders are some of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever met, they always make me feel so welcome. My go to drink here is the Moscow mule, I always get one when I stop by. Russ and Tiara always make it just right whenever I order it and they will always make sure you are taken care of properly. The drinks aren't the only thing that's great here though, you have to try some of their food. I personally like the wings and fries, some times I would call in just to pick up an order. The music on the weekends are pretty good here too. Overall it's a great place to hang out and have a few drinks with some friends. read more

Ashley - from all your other posts on yelp, you seem to hangout in places you don't like. All your posts are negative and full of complaints. I love this bar and the staff is waaaaay better than what ZEN was. As for d-bags? This bar is far from your typical Dallas d-bag places. I've seen 1 Ed hardy shirt here in the past 6 months. You are right though, you have your own opinion. I could go on and on about your comments, but I'm going to enjoy my beer now. You should join me. read more

Do you want a place that just gets you? Like when you walk in the door and the bartender just looks you in the eyes and knows you're a guy who likes a good deal for happy hour? Then you've found the spot. I've been a regular at the mucky duck for years. Friendly bartenders. Great drinks. Low price. What more could you ask for? Waddle down to the duck. read more

I sometimes wonder about places that try to "go upscale" but then allow smoking. Who do you think still smokes in our society, people who have an education, or know a bit about health, or exactly the kind of people who people complained about at "Zen", who supposedly made things suck. My idea is ban smoking and the bad elements will go somewhere else. Instant "up-scale". To be honest, I am so used to non-smoking venues, that is is shocking to now go into one of these Addison places, which stink of smoke like it was still 1982. I wish Addison would join the 21st century. Btw. the pub up the street is non-smoking, so you won't get lung cancer there. read more

This place has an amazing soft pretzel and the cheese fries are spectacular! Unfortunately the service can sometimes be a little slow (not at the bar, but with the servers). Still my favorite place to go for a drink in the circle. read more

Live DJ Friday and Saturday 10-2. $3 selected drafts, wells, tuaca, jäger, rumple minze and fireballs.

I really enjoy this spot, they have a great crowd, cool music, and the waitresses are pretty friendly! They even have Trivia Night on Wednesdays. read more
