Loved it. Was in Dallas for a couple of nights. Looking for dive bar found Adair's. Bartender Kimberly was awesome. Hamburger was great. So good I stopped in to start next night. Same great service. Had grilled cheese with bacon. Very good. Live music both nights. Looking for a relaxed place to start, finish, or stay all night, can't go wrong with Adair's. Kimberly rocks read more

Now, this place is going on my dive bar list. It had the right look and feel. It's just hella big for a regular dive bar. However, we are in TX. BTW, Wed. night is a terrible night to go. Not a lot of customers and no live music. read more

Top 5 burger in Dallas. Great beer and great live music! One of the few remaining gems in Deep Ellum.

We came here because a stranger told us they have the best burger in town. And not only that. The burger is less than 10$. So we went in. Immediately Danny was super friendly. He talked to us about the place. Gave us a marker to sign the wall somewhere. We get the burger but we eat it at the Airbnb, and omg. It really is one of the best burgers I've ever had for less than 10$. 100% will be coming back here next time I'm in Dallas. The next day we walked by this place and Danny runs out of the store and across the street to come say hi to us and ask about the burger. His customer service is like no other. He's so friendly and honestly even if the burger wasn't good I would go back for Danny. read more

Loved the friendly bartenders and the talented bands. Was a fun evening vibe. Didn't order food, but I'm sure would've been good based on the attention to service. read more

Adair's Saloon - Seat by the stage - Dive Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

A Dallas dive bar original, shotgun style country bar with one of the BEST burgers in DFW. Good place to get away from the uptown crowd and enjoy live music, great food, and cold beer. read more

Wanted to love the place and was ready to but the waitress had a very nasty attitude. Didn't card half of our party and served them with no issue, but wouldn't let my fiancé get a drink because she forgot her wallet and then threatened to kick us out if I gave her a sip of my beer lol. Burger was good, onion rings were top notch, but unfortunately won't be back - not worth the price of service! read more

This is a hole on the wall bar. You won't believe you are in Deep Ellum, but on this classic american bar. Their cheeseburgers are the best, I will come back only to eat one of their delicious cheeseburgers. Kimberly at the bar is the best. read more

First, Patti the bartender was outstanding- five stars for her. She made me a burger that was close to perfect, in every possible way- five stars for that burger. The place is a bit grimy, but appropriately so for the epitome of a dive bar. Three stars for vibe-decor. Was here with a friend, who drank too much, grieving the loss of a long term (50+ years) friendship. Patti cut him off at just the right time. I will surely return in the near future. read more

You can definitely tell this place is a Dallas staple. Really great live music. In fact, ended up coming in because we heard the music while walking by. Huge space, adorned with stickers, signs, and marker graffiti. Booth seating along the sides and plenty of standing area for when it's busy. Cold beer served up quick by friendly bartenders. No wait no fuss. Reasonable prices. Had a few beers each over about an hour and a half, and wished I'd gotten some food here - will save that for a future visit, though. read more

I learned about this place because I got a t-shirt from dive bar shirt club. I would get comments when i wore it. "Hey man. Are you from Dallas??? Great friggin burgers!!!" Totally legit. If you respect a great, relaxed "dive bar"...this place is great. If you want a good burger and beer, this is cool. Plus, good live music. read more

Adair's Saloon - Burgers and tots. #dude! - Dive Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've never had the food - but everything else is great. Dark, dingy drive bar. Service is always good. I have seen young and old in the place. They have great music. I took one Star off due to sometimes the bathroom really smells terrible. Not sure what that is about. read more

Absolutely a staple you have need to experience. Came here after a crappy night at Javier's. Yeah... don't go there. read more

Good music (Grant Gillispie and the Morning Shakes) and a great burger. Good price on the burger

Small venue with live music, cold beer, and full bar. A true local experience with a small dance floor. Check out the website for lists of bands for each night. They serve food, but that's not why you go there. read more

The best burger I've ever had! Adair's is a nice change of pace and reminds me of a typical old dive bar with a country feel. Cheap beer, free jukebox, pool table, and occasional live music. I recommend checking this place out and definitely get the burger while you're there. read more

The absolute best burger in Dallas! I will always come back when I need a big, juicy, flavorful burger. Fries were good, I usually get the tater tots and I'll probably go back to those. Ranch on the side was too salty, so I just used ketchup instead. But I cannot emphasize the burger enough, nothing else matters! read more

I take it all back. After trying the burger a few times I finally had a burger that made me see what the hype was about. I went in a week or so ago and ordered the cheeseburger. It came out pink, which was wonderful. Good flavors and juicy. Dear baby burger jesus - I have seen the light. read more

The cheeseburger is one of the best burger's in town. The bun was very crispy and the burger was cooked to perfection. The tater tots though were out of this world. Best tater tots I've had in a long time. They were cooked very well and weren't very greasy. The atmosphere was great, they have live music every single day starting around 7PM and the group I saw perform today was very talented. I will definitely return! read more

Adair's Saloon - Cheeseburger with Tots! - Dive Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We spent a couple of hours Thursday night in Adairs with About a dozen people. Cool old school country band playing some Waylon, Ernest Tub , and the likes. Food looked and smelled amazing but we had already eaten. We will go back for sure, but will slow sip that 7 dollar beer more slowly and maybe play pool or shuffleboard. read more

Freaking love this place. Great live music, good food and ice cold beer. A Dallas institution! Try it out! read more

Now this is a cool bar. Went there last weekend and it was very lively with a band playing. Drinks were delicious and fairly priced. They also have a pool table and another table in the back to hang out and play games. Would definitely recommend stopping by for a drink. read more

Me and my husband are traveling from Nevada to Georgia and wanted to stop in Dallas because we heard it was a cool town. Little did we know we would stumble upon a awesome little dive bar! We are small town people and this place made us feel right at home. Food was great, bar tender was nice and did his job well, and the music by "Red" was fantastic. We will definitely come back to this bomb ass place if we ever find ourselves back in Dallas. By pass the trendy crap in downtown and find this place. You won't regret it. Keep banging it out Adair's saloon. And lone star beer is on tap which is freakin awesome. read more

Urban Cowboy Getaway Probably one of the oldest bars left in Dallas is Adairs. From it's start in Uptown before it was Uptown to it's move to a low key Deep Ellum, it's a great place to come have drink while listening to a great live music band. I have heard from awful to awesome and everything in between. For the most part, they are normally pretty good though. Make sure to check out their schedule. It's a dive of a dive bar, nothing fancy here but decent food and drinks. I like their fries and burgers, cheap and made the old fashioned way. You can also feel like a celebrity when you come here. The walls, tables and ceilings are all tagged up with names and dates of Adair's many patrons. If you can find a spot, take it as your claim to bar immortality. Writing's on the wall read more

Adair's Saloon - Great band tonight - Dive Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

People see this place with their own perceptions of dirty grungy immature blahness. I see the diveyness of this place as unique. The writing and graffiti that covers literally every square inch of this place from the ceiling to the floor is art work. It represents a certain American culture of comfort and chill out attitude. So fitting for this place. Beers and wells are limited. Food is greasy cheap, and, the burgers are said to be what every drunk night needs. I've yet to try one. Doesn't mean I won't. It smells a little off in here. Could be 50 years of sweat, tears, beers and whiskey. They have live music every night for FREE! Famous bands like the Dixie Chick's have played here. It is a Country bar, but, they have a good rocking juke you can enjoy when there is no band playing. And, if you sit at the bar you can rest your feet on railroad ties. From the blood of the flag to the bumper stickers to the power adapter that hangs from the ceiling to the Xmas lights to the broken Cobb street sign to the good music to the "Two Step Boogie" to the friendly staff and crowd to the graffiti to the greasy food to the smell to the beers and the wells that are limited yet perfect, all make this one of the most unique dives I've been in. Gladly give them five stars! read more

This dive bar is a Dallas institution. Great live music every night with great hamburgers and fries. Shawn is amazing bartender and jukebox is iconic. They run out of shiner a bit too often but otherwise perfect read more

I strolled through here on a random weeknight and was happy to see ice cold pbr available behind the bar. Who doesn't love a place with cans of beer and great burgers. This is the epitome of a dive bar simple and full of graffiti and maybe a little honky tonk if your lucky. I did get to watch a band set up for what seemed to be at least three beers long. Once they were finally set up my friend and I watched ladies dancing barefoot on the dance floor. Wow, I like the bar but probably won't be taking off my teva sandals to have a pants off dance off in here. The burgers were huge and it was definitely a solid meal. I had one too many pbr and bud light I believe. I can't wait to come back when it's a little more crowded and see how this place is. I will have to get back soon to grab a burger and cold beer. read more

I go here every time I'm in Dallas! Food is exceptional, drinks are reasonably priced, music is always so good. My favorite thing to get is the cheese burger, I really like that they put the pepper on it. Adds a little something! Wings are great too. It's a small space, but there is enough room for a few people to be up dancing at the same time. The writing on the walls is a really fun touch too and is totally art to me. It gives the country bar a little modern flare. Love this place. read more

Adair's Saloon - Sharpie Walls! - Dive Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

My friends and I stopped here one night after a show we saw at the Majestic Theater. With a bar name like "Adair's Saloon" in downtown Dallas, you feel like you're about to walk into a bar full of cowboys. Well, that wasn't far from the truth but I didn't see any spurs. The closest cowboy I saw in there was the lone musician who sang 90's and early 2000's country music all night from names like Alan Jackson, Garth, and Brooks and Dunn. If done right, those songs can be bar-fillers, but considering it was a Thursday night with 40° weather out not too many people were looking for cold beer. The walls are absolutely covered in handwritten sharpie graffiti. With the exception of their jukebox and a couple of pictures that are off limits to write on - the walls were absolutely covered. Since it was Thursday not too many people were there but the shuffleboard table had a crowd around it waiting to get in on the action. All in all, if you're looking for something dive-y to kick back and catch up with some old friends, this is the place to do it. It's not too loud, their beer selection is good, the bartenders are on the ball with service, and the bar is a great spot to two people to find a place to chat. read more

Absolutely love this bar live music and awesome selection of music on the juke box. The food is always amazing. Only one thing keeps this place from being the best. They have one bartender who is just a complete jerk always has an attitude is rude and impatient gets upset when you pay as you go. The guys acts like the world is out to get him. When I stop in and he's working I turn right around and go somewhere else. When he isn't working I have an absolute blast because there's nobody being a Jerk to you serving a beer read more
