I brought my industry friends to what I thought would become my new favorite bar, but we were treated with disrespect, as if we didn't belong. I'm not sure why the vibe was so off today--maybe it was a particular person at the bar--but I'd strongly recommend avoiding Sundays. Unfortunately, this experience tainted my previous visits, and I'm not sure if I'll be back. I know plenty of good people who would love this place, but only if the staff and atmosphere were more welcoming.

It has a special, magical charm of the perfect dive bar. I'm ignoring my previous trip there as, well, I should not have brought that person to this place. This place is not for pretentious people. Thus I was at home at this spot. It looks camouflaged by plain wrapping with a boring exterior. Open the door and it is a world of more things to explore than you have time to. You are treated like family as a stranger. Be ready to be among people who want to know you. I guess I fit as some there knew my friends from other dive bars. I never realized how small the Dallas Dive bar world was. I have some cool friends. The music is good on the video jukebox. The tears came to my eyes as a few post 9/11 patriotic songs were played (I bleed Army green and so did some that didn't return home to their moms intact.) Glad none there saw my eyes or noticed my toast to my memories. The couple dancing on the next song made me feel more at home. Good thing a good 2 step or waltz never played or I might have had to find a partner. The decor is somewhat Green Bay Packer-ish. Okay, a lot of Green Bay love in the decor. Heh, yes, I still carry a grudge from the 1967 Ice Bowl as a life long Cowboy fan should! But, I respect a bar owner who has actual stock in his/her team and displays it proudly! So that adds another star or would that be Starr? The patrons make this one special. This is one of the great dive bars!

We always are greeted by everyone with a warm welcome which gives it the great neighborhood feel everyone loves.

Service was a bit slow as our server forgot to come back to take our food orders until we flagged her down again, but they did seem to be very busy with food orders and at the bar.

What a mistake! First of all, there was a $20/person cover charge. For what?! The band? The first band that was playing was four guys that looked to be drunk frat boys playing poorly and hardly knew the words to the song they played. The second band was fronted by a guy who was so flat it hurt my ears. They were no better than a band playing at weddings, which they did promote themselves to be available for. The song choice terrible! Footloose?! I know it was a predominantly white crowd but come on! Then when they did sing an Earth Wind and Fire song, they were so bad that Maurice White was probably turning over in his grave. What a sad state of affairs!
