    Cafe GeKo is one of my favorite sports bars in DFW. You will find great service, reliable food, and good drinks. Their menu has a lot of options and everything I have tried is tasty. Some of my favorites are the queso and the Philly but the pizza is solid and so are the burgers. A place with an ample supply of regulars occupying bar stools and high tops as well as families and groups eating at the bigger tables . If you are in the Plano area and are looking for a quality watering hole to relax and enjoy sports and good food in a peaceful atmosphere with great service , you need to stop by geKo!

    Icy cold margarita

    This has turned into one of my favorite places for an after work drink. They have a lively happy hour crowd and I've met new people each time. The place is cozy enough for conversation but still spacious enough to sit with a group of friends. They have an outdoor patio but with all the windows, this place is full of natural light- perfect for day drinking. I really appreciate their frozen margarita machine. I usually order one or two of those & an Uber. The frozen margaritas go very well with their generous sized beef queso dip.

    So I came here tonight with a friend for Happy Hour and it was AMAZING!! This is a very low-key and unassuming spot so I really was't expecting much, but WOW!! The staff was so warm and welcoming and the atmosphere was super chill and inviting. Per our server's recommendation, I ordered the sour cream chicken nachos and I was blown away!! The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the sour cream sauce was on point and the cheese was so melty and delicious! I also ordered The Dreamsicle cocktail and it was truly a dream! The mix of whipped cream vodka, orange and pineapple juice, and whipped cream was top tier! Not only are the drinks delicious - but they are also strong, so keep that in mind. As if the food and drinks weren't good enough - the prices are AMAZING! Seriously, my friend and I both got drinks and entrees and our total was around $35 dollars . You truly can't beat the value here. I absolutely loved my experience and I'm excited to come back!

Music was loud enough to where I could hear my husband across the table but not anyone else around me. We could still hear the comforting sound of the fountain and fans that blew a cooling mist too! We ordered the pretzel bites as an appetizer and it came out in literally 60 seconds. Bread didn't taste like pretzels, but it was tasty and the sauces yummy. Like, I could order the bites and some beers and be perfectly content. But I was here for the fish n chips and I was so happy! I'd have preferred a full filet of fish, but the batter was so crispy and salty (I love salt!). Fries were okay and basic but not bad with malt vinegar (I can literally drink that stuff!). Husband got the elite brisket flatbread. It was huge and honestly we'll probably just split this next time we come. It was delicious and back of the throat spicy, but the toppings were outstanding and brisket was tender!! Service was soooo quick and easy and the waitress has the decency to look away as you tip. I was so impressed with this experience! I'm an introvert and hate trying to new things, but this may be my favorite spot now! We were there 7/11/26 at 12 pm. Our fantastic server was young and blonde and very polite and professional! 7/5 stars!!

We ordered the Boss Hog flatbread, chips and queso, and two margaritas the Skinny Bear on the rocks and the Caddy frozen margarita. We definitely enjoyed the happy hour discounts, which made the visit even better. We started with our drinks, and both margaritas were mixed very well. The Skinny Bear did seem a little stronger, but both had great flavor and were easy to enjoy. For appetizers, we ordered the chips and queso. The chips were thin, crispy, and had a nice dash of seasoning on them, but we do wish they had been served hot. The queso was warm, but not piping hot, and the texture was a little gritty, almost powder-like. We were expecting a creamier cheese, so it was good, but not our favorite part of the meal. Now, the star of the show was definitely the Boss Hog flatbread. It was cooked to perfection, baked really well, and had that nice crispy texture. The toppings were generous, and every bite had great flavor. I would absolutely order it again. The ambiance was also amazing. We loved being able to see the brewery, and the dim lighting set a cool, relaxed tone. The employees were nice, friendly, and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. I would definitely come back to try more menu items, and I recommend Union Bear for a cute date night, happy hour, or a laid back evening with good drinks and food.

I chose a great day to visit due to the fact it's opening day for the World Cup. The Colony location provided a great atmosphere and opportunity to cheer on Mexico defeating South Africa 2-0. The crowd definitely heavily favored Mexico. The place was packed a testimony to the quality service you will receive there. My server was Madelynn and she couldn't have been better. I wanted to get in early to get a spot since I'm visiting from Florida. I wasn't sure how quickly it would fill up. Madelynn was exceptional and very attentive. She made great recommendations and told me about their Dos Equis contest. I drank a few to help out her sales. I never had to ask for anything and her menu knowledge was great. She's got a spectacular look and should be a great brand ambassador for the company. I recently purchased a Rowdy Cowboy 2026 calendar on this trip and hope to see her in next years edition. She's going to be a great promotional girl. Thank you Michael J Beal Clearwater, Florida

    The information and reviews for this establishment did not include this is a blue collar sports bar…read morewith scantly clad waitresses. It simply stated 4.7 stars and good food. Being from out of town and making a quick day trip into Dallas we had no idea what it is ... lol The atmosphere is a sports bar vibe with college aged girls in basically string bikinis serving drinks and bar food. The food wasn't 4.7 stars. Maybe 1.2 stars at most but we all know why the ratings are 4.7. We ordered a burger and 3 brisket/queso baked potatoes. The burger was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. The cheese on the burger was fried. As for the baked potato ... the brisket wasn't great but it being smothered in queso cheese helped it tremendously. I'll just say, men don't eat here for the food.
