    Stopped in last night, lady at the door was super nice, the band was great, drinks were ok so we stayed for a bit and and then closed out our tab (68 dollars) and left to move onto another bar down the street. When we went to open our tab at the next bar and he realized he didn't have it so we went back but when we arrived she did have our card but also another bill for us, half of the last tabs price and none of which we had drank, since we closed out before we left the first time. Shady isn't a good look, you guys should work on that.

    My husband and I were visiting the area and walking around after catching a comedy show near by. We saw there was music going on and decided to check it out. What a fun place! The night we went we got to see a WWE entrance theme cover band! The music was great, the drinks were cheap they even had N/A beers and the crowd was high energy and it was a decent size venue with outdoor seating, tables and bar seating.

    The best dive bar I have ever been in. They get great local and national touring bands. The beer is reasonably priced and they make some nice drinks. The service is good and they do their best during some of the larger shows. You just need to have a little patience. If I lived closer I'd drop by every day. Some of the staff has been around for years and treat you like family.

    Look for this sidewalk sign!

    Anti-hipster haven in the middle of DE. Ever get overwhelmed by all the lumber-sexual hipsters in DE? (It happens.) Next time you need a break from bearded youngsters in skinny jeans, take a walk on the punk side. This punk-rock driven dive bar is right in the heart of uber-hip DE central, but it is ratty and cool. Crazy artwork on the wall. Small bathrooms. Stage for live (loud) punk rock. Inexplicable and secret Oddfellow symbolism and slogans, from the 2.5 oddfellows who founded this place. Plenty of room to twist and shout. Across the street from the Green Room, this place rocks!

    I've known about Three Links ever since I lived in Texas. It replaced the old La Grange, a place I never set foot in either. When I left Texas, Deep Ellum was only starting to get its mojo back. Many places had been closed and the wrong element was all over the area. Then businesses decided to come back. Trees reopened, Coyote Ugly came to the area (also now gone) and Three Links opened as well. Three Links has become a place for punk and ska music. From the past posters I saw hanging, some impressive acts have passed through those doors. My buddy, who loves this places and comes as much as he can, says that the owner really likes the atmosphere that he's created here and the staff seems to live it. There were no angry bouncers, the bartenders never seemed rushed even when the areas were getting packed around them. Granted, we were there for a Monday night show, so it wasn't sardine packed at all. One thing that stood out to me was the selection of beers. I was very impressed. They are also linked up to Fuzzy's Tacos right next door, so you can grab some grub and hang out on the patio out back with one of the great craft beers. As for the bands, you are right up close to them, no barriers, no bouncers and the crowd, minus one fool getting up on stage, was excellent and enjoyed the acts we saw. It was cool that I was in town for a couple of bands that I enjoy seeing live. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to make my way back in. Really cool club. Enjoy.

    Man, I f-ing love Dallas. If you want to hang out in a bar/live venue steeped in Masonic imagery, that shows Breaking Bad instead of football, where the patrons are tatted up, but just as friendly as they could be, where else are you going to live? LA? Too expensive. New York? Unfriendly. Austin? OK, sure, maybe Austin, but you live here already! Three Links wins big for the most artful and innovative decor of any space I've ever bent an elbow in. The bartenders and patrons are rockabilly/skin/punk/mod subculturalists and look cool as Hell. Whoever is in charge of how this place looks is a genius. Music is top notch, the last time I was there, the Give 'Em the Boot compilation was on, you might hear the Ducky Boys or Social D too. Drinks are surprisingly cheap, I have walked out with a single-digit tab more than once. Lots of liquids on tap, and the bartenders are quick with a shot of booze. You can get food from Fuzzy's next door, and the place is the first on Elm St (maybe in Deep Ellum) to open in the afternoon. This is the kind of bar that could only exist in Dallas, where entrepreneurs are able to experiment and pursue their vision without breaking the bank. I'll be back as many times as I can.

    Lots of interesting art in this place, even in the smallest places!

There…read morewere thousands of dancers swarming the place, but there was still room to not feel completely crowded. Although they offered seating down low, it was constantly rotating on availability depending on the performers. If I wanted to find a seat, I could have. I mostly stood near the bar which wasn't too crowded since it was an all ages event. After standing there for about 2 hours, they did ask us to move to the end of the bar for potential customers .. there never really were more than 3 people ordering at a time, but we still moved. We got tall boy White Claws and it was the perfect sipper drink. The lighting and sound was good for the experience here and they had plenty of vantage points (including a VIP upper floor). Security wasn't bad, I didn't bring a bag, so I breezed through. There's a large parking structure right behind the TBF, so walking over was very easy too. We did initially have handicap people in our group who opted not to attend after we shared that the surrounding sidewalks were not very level and that the amount of people might be a little tricky for navigating with a walker. All in all though, I had a great time here!

Ubers pick you right up in front of the doors so that's nice. I think this is the cleaner concert venue in Dallas. The bar and bartender are all very nice and do a great job. It's was definitely packed but we were able to get our drinks quick. This is a great general admission venue!

The venue has good sound quality with an open stage and room for standing. The show was fun and as always, the bands brought the energy and good vibes. They also hung out after the show to mingle and hang with us which is much appreciated. There's an outdoor area with seating for those who want to chill and drink. No covers are there so if it rains, good luck with the weather part. The bar area has your beer/spirits although it's pricy. Best to drink somewhere else before heading here unless you like spending $8 for a miller lite.

The outside does have tables w/chairs and another stage. As long as two bands aren't playing at the same time on both stages then the chairs/table aren't too big of an issue. I like that you're allowed to bring minors as we brought my nieces and their friends. I really enjoyed myself as this was one of my nieces and her friends first concert. The vibe felt family friendly and Transviolet was great! I would definitely go back there again.

I rarely go to Deep Ellum, and you cannot deny the unique and honest vibe the whole area has. It truly feels like a continuous art scene, from building to building. A cool factor. Something that makes you want to take your shoes off and walk around barefoot. Just absorb all the talent and energy surrounding you. The Art Co fits right into what I just described. Everyone's welcome. There's a big mix of people standing around talking about and admiring the art. Lights fill the large room and a bar that feels like it could take you back to 1990s.

The show was exceptional. The place has a full bar with an impressive list craft beers and ciders. Most of the beers and ciders were from local breweries. My favorite was the Manhattan Project Dark Matter, a peanut butter porter. I also enjoyed the Peticolas Irish Red. This was a fun spot and well worth going to a concert here. The walls of the place are adorned with the works of local artist that are for sale. The bartender also has a nice selection of tie dye t-shirts etc. and is willing to do custom work where you pick the colours and patterns. One of the only drawbacks was the lack of seating.

The two dancers that he had on stage also was a great addition to his vocals. Band was also really good. It was also pretty easy to get an Uber when the concert finished.
