    Wrong phone number
    Micky C.

    No frills place. Went for a live show last night & the band was great. The show was inside & it's standing room only so bear that in mind when you come. I didn't order a drink or check out the bathrooms so can't weigh in there. One thing I do want to make note of is about their phone number. The phone number on their website (214-742-3400) when dialed manually is disconnected. However, when you touch the number & get a pop up to "call this number", the number shown is different (214-712-3400). The second phone number is the phone number for the TX 5th Circuit Appellate Court and the lady that answers their phone apparently doesn't think it's in the least bit comical and she's probably not the face of customer service Club Dada wants...

    Standing room only not for me. We stood around like sardines almost two hours for Keith Urban to come on stage. Ridiculous and unacceptable. While sound check was performed. This should had been done before allowing people to enter the establishment. To think I paid triple for a $50 ticket.

    Dada is classic Deep Ellum, a stripped down music venue with an underground vibe that provides "reach out and touch you" closeness to the artists who perform here. With a long bar along one wall, a stage in the corner, lots of open space to mill around in, Dada is a casual general admission venue that provides lots of room to move around. We came to see Transviolet on her first US tour. I suck at estimating crowds, but I'd say there were 100-120 people there. We were in the very front, touching the floor monitors, and never felt a crush. Trees, across the street, always feels tight, even when it's half full. it may be that I've only seen metal shows there and Transviolet is dreamy girl-pop. But the audience and the venue just seemed more chill. We didn't have cocktails, but the prices were characteristically high for Deep Ellum venues (stupid high). I bought a couple beers, can't remember the price, but just bit the bullet and rolled with the experience. The ceiling is high enough that the mix is consistent from front to back. There are only two toilets which is a wtf move if you ask me in a venue this size. I can't see a concert working here in pandemic times. Hopefully, before too long we will be able to come back here safely to enjoy some more live music!

    I got to visit Dada for the first time this past Friday night with a group of associates. It was my first time to Deep Ellum & it most definitely won't be my last time. Overall, I had a good time we were LIT all night! Now my only two cons was the drink pricing and music. I personally didn't order a drink but others I was with did and let me tell you $15 for an LIT is RIDICULOUS! Although they were strong that is crazy nor were we in Uptown where you normally expect high pricing. Now for the music, the DJ or DJs didn't really pay that close attention to who was spinning but I was hoping for more recent hip-hip music to vibe to. The mix was good seeing as it was a mixed crowd but I was yearning for a bit more to bounce to but that's just my personal opinion. However, the music that was played kept the crowd moving. Will I return? Probably so but I'll be sure to drink beforehand.

    Tonight's band had to cancel their ticketed show (300 sold) because the venue looked like this when they arrived.

    The sound system wasn't even set up when the band arrived. It was a construction size with safety hazards everywhere. What a disappointment, and disservice to the musicians who sold 300 tickets to their show tonight, and patrons who were looking forward to this show. C'mon Dada. Either do it right or don't do it.

    This is just part of the patio

    Okay - I finally saw this place in the daylight. I enjoyed some drinks on the patio, and then watched my friend's band play inside (shout out to Regatta De Faux). First off the patio is huge! There's a nice stage in one of the corners, and the patio is dog friendly. There was the cutest puppy there last night. Can't wait to check out a band there. There was one bartender working last night, and he was awesome!! Super friendly and on top of things. The sound system is also amazing!! As you can tell I'm in love with this place. Plus they had $2 wells until 8pm.

    Sound was great, intimate venue. But it was 20 degrees outside and the front door was open all night, it was maybe 40 degrees at best inside. No where to sit, and for $15 to get in the door and an $80 bar tab, i would have appreciated being able to take my jacket off. Even the artists expressed that they were uncomfortable, and the door stayed open all night. Hard to play guitar with stiff fingers.

    P.O.S at Dada.

    We just went to this venue in Deep Ellum on Thursday night for a P.O.S show. I knew I was in for a treat after hearing that's the venue he would be performing at. Tickets to shows at this venue are never very expensive. The venue itself is small and intimate. I believe the inside holds less than 100 people. The stage is little, but the perfect size for the venue. I've been to this venue three times. Every time has been a great experience. I love concerts here because of how close you are to the artist who is performing. Every show I've been to, they've even come out into the crowd to perform. Merch is located towards the front of the venue. There is a small area to sit here as well. Good set up for meeting the musicians after they perform. They do have a full bar here. Decently priced drinks. Friendly bartenders. The outside has a patio area as well. I don't usually go out there, but it's a nice place to sit and chill if you're not a fan of the opener or are waiting on the show to start. The only downside here is the bathroom situation. It's one of those bathrooms that has one toilet, so you know... As a woman, you'll have to wait a lot of the time. Still, it's a small venue, so I expected the bathrooms to reflect on this. Overall, awesome venue that I will continue to visit. Hoping for more of my favorites to perform there.

    View of the inside stage from the patio area - they even have real candles outside! :)

    A great venue for music that offers an intimate atmosphere. Also offers a spacious outdoor patio area! Not the best place though for more complicated cocktails, but they can definitely hook you up with simpler drinks such as vodka tonic, rum and coke, etc. Oh, and they also offer a good selection of beers. Definitely a good spot to be in for some live music! Come check it out!

    One of Dallas' hot spots for live music in the early 90s, Club Dada, went dark in 2009 until an investor saved this iconic Dallas original with an upgraded sound system and back patio. An intimate venue, any show you see here, will be amazing. Delta Rae performed here when we went. The sound was perfect. The only thing that sucks, not enough bathrooms!

    Is there any seating?

    They have seating on the patio, but only a few barstools at the bar inside.

    Is this club 18+?

    every show i've been to, they let me in with x's on my hands to keep me from buying alcohol. shouldn't have a problem as long as it isn't a 21+ show

There is plenty of room to dance and also sit. If you want bottles service for those very busy sold out shows, it's more for convenience of not having to go to the bar and to have a home base to sit if needed. Definitely not the VIP pretentious typical bottle service. Otherwise regular tickets are just as great! Were here to dance, right? Staff is always kind, welcoming and friendly. They also do have a job to do, so there are times they have to be firm and they are not about the riff raff. Respect them and the club and they will respect you. ​This is a club that remembers why we go out in the first place. This spot strips away all the superficial nonsense of the typical nightlife scene--there's no dress code to stress over and no "gatekeeper" energy. It's a rare, comfortable, no-frills atmosphere where a shared love for the music is the only thing that matters. ​This isn't a place to "be seen"; it's a space to be yourself. Whether you're a pro dancer or just vibrating in the corner, nobody is judging your style or your outfit. It's pure, unfiltered energy. If you want to dance like nobody is watching with a room full of people doing the exact same thing, you've found home. ​Go for the sound, stay for the community. Come as you are and come to dance.

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!

It's was definitely packed but we were able to get our drinks quick. This is a great general admission venue!
