    A cold one on a hot day
    D M.

    Friendly local atmosphere. Good background music and cold drinks. Pool tables x 2. Skiball table. Large outdoor patio. This is a very laid back and chill kinda place.

    Best bartender

    Great neighborhood bar! It's not fancy pants so leave your heels at home. Derrick & the staff make special drinks or try your recipes. The covered patio features adult jenga and the uncovered gravel patio is a relaxing chill out spot. Come give this off the beaten path bar a try!

    Best bartender EVER!

    Love, love, love the Boxcar! I come here every week, love the owners and the bartenders are awesome (especially Derrick and Lisa)! My favorite place to take out of town guests, everyone loves it!

    Calamity Janes were so much fun!

    If you are looking for a friendly little neighborhood bar that reminds you of the bars you used to go to back home, well this is it. My husband and I just moved here from Wisconsin, and we happened to stumble across this place. It exceeded expectations!!! The staff could not be more friendly, they have an awesome shuffle board table and there is live music 3 nights a week. They also have pool tables, life size jenga and horseshoe pits. I highly recommend checking this place out.

    See all

    Beer was cheap, and the karaoke was literally the best I've ever heard. Felt like I was at a concert. Biker bar with a chill vibe.

    Great Karaoke on Thursday and Saturday night. Danny does a great job as a DJ. Plenty of room to dance with your partner too.

    Came to celebrate a Birthday last night. We arrived early and didn't know a soul. Within minutes…read morethe owner, bartender and patrons invited us in. Don't let the dive bar ambiance scare you it's definitely the people and the vibe that keeps you here. We witnessed people from all walks of life from Tesla to bicycle singing and sharing moments that can't be duplicated. Had a blast and can't wait to go back!

    This place should be kept a secret and limited to invitees only. I almost didn't want to review…read morefor that reason as I'm not sure everyone should check it out. 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!

    So, buddy asks me if I want to go have a drink at this bar across from Bell Helicopter one night…read more I'm like, "are you kidding? No!" He says it's a nice place, about as divey as where we were at the time, and after he said he'd drive, I said "sure, why not" Get there, walk in, and he's right. It's not bad at all. It's old inside and the last remodel looks like it was back in the 70's, but I never really care about that stuff. It was a weekend night and there were quite a few people there. Bartenders were quick and friendly. No draft beer, but a pretty stocked full bar so no complaints. One thing I really ended up liking best about this place, was it's a mostly older crowd. Majority of people, I'd guess, 40's and up, maybe upper 30's in the least. I'm bad with ages. Everyone was friendly. Looks like a big regular crowd, seemed everyone knew each other. People doing Karaoke in the corner. Everyone was having a good time. Didn't see any people having drama or walk in misfits making trouble. Bit of a drive for me, but might make this more of a first stop on the weekend place. Drinks were reasonable.

    Nice smaller club with pool tables, a stage & dance floor. They have reasonably priced drinks…read moreserved by some of the nicest folks around. The regular crowd is friendly. I usually stop in for Friday Night Karaoke. Great K J with large song collection who is very easy to work with. The sing list is not overly long so it's a good laid back evening.
