Empty bar at 5:30p. Place used to be packed.

Update! I'm happy to say that JR's is stepping there game back up and in turn I think it only fair for me to adjust this review. The food service has improved, considerably! Bravo!

Davey is the BEST!!!

This is my favorite bar in Dallas. A true pillar of the Dallas gay community. It's chill, fun, welcoming, and always a good time. The staff is always TOP NOTCH. Tony and Your Highness are always slinging the good stuff with a smile....and the afternoon cook, Davey, is so fun and friendly. And the boy can COOK!! The food is always served perfectly and tastes amazing! I love this place!

Came here with a co-worker to have a little fun! There was a nice crowd hanging out by the front window area, but there was still plenty of room to sit and enjoy the music and people watch. The bartender that helped me was extremely friendly and very helpful with my drink selection. Popular gay bar in the heart of Oak Lawn and the LGTBQ neighborhood of Dallas. Great drinks, great music and an always up for it crowd. Gets packed on weekends, drink prices are very good and staff is always wonderful. The down stairs feels like it hasn't really evolved over the years. I really dislike the new jukebox. I don't understand why they continue to play the muted videos on the televisions that don't match the music being piped through the jukebox. I do like the upstairs area much better. It has been updated, and feels modern. Plus being able to open the garage door windows to make it open-air on nice days/evening would be wonderful.

Honestly, I love this bar. It's a fun and safe environment for the LGBTQ community. I was just looking for a drink and then I asked about food, they serve food while you drink and it's made FRESH. Like very fresh and delicious, they use fresh greens and fresh incredible ingredients.

Dranks and they didn't skimp of the alcohol either!

I was there when a drag show was going on, was able to dance and chill downstairs, and I never felt overcrowded or uncomfortable.

Loved this place! Reminded me of Rainbow Cattle Company in Austin, but way more men than women. But…read moreeveryone got along nicely and danced harmoniously. Really good dancers there, but they are pretty patient with learners. Nothing negative about the experience! Lots of bars, so you can always get a drink pretty quickly. It was busy, but I didn't wait much at any bar. I like that the bars have different themes. Take me to the bourbon bar every time though. Service with a big smile because everything is bigger in Texas!

Round-Up Saloon has been on my list for years and on a recent visit to Dallas, a few friends…read morefinally made it happen! When you think Texas, while you may think line dancing and country bars, you rarely think of a gay country bar with line dancing! But it exists and is Round-Up Saloon! The bar is large, as are most things in Texas. While it seems like one big open space, there are separate areas from the dance floor to pool table area, more formal bar station and even a patio. There are six distinct bars throughout, each with their own vibe! This makes getting a drink easier and cuts down on the wait, which is very appreciated by all! We spent most of our time overlooking the dance floor. When we wanted a drink, we made our way to the small corner bar. We had a favorite bartender and this was their station for the night! Speaking of drinks, they are a bit pricey, including a water, but with that, they are certainly gay-bar strong! With the size of the place, it can and does get packed, so be prepared. There is enough space, but it gets intimate the later in the evening it gets. Overall, we had a phenomenal time at Round-Up Saloon. The most memorable part, which was amazing to see and feel, was the spirit of everyone just existing and being themselves. Absolutely one of my favorite gay bars I have visited!

Dallas Eagle - Pool table

It's been a few years since I last visited the Dallas Eagle, when it was located elsewhere in town…read more The new location in central area of the city is a much better venue offering a very spacious bar area and outdoor patio that can accommodate large crowds. There's a good number of lockers for gear, booths for eating/drinking as well as pool tables and a small store featuring leather goods, t-shirts, and other merchandise. Although it's a leather bar I think most anyone would be comfortable here to toss back a beverage or three. There are Eagle bars in many major cities but this one is now a favorite. Highly recommended.

There are Eagle Leather bars throughout the Leather-Uniform-Rubber universe from L.A., NYC, San…read moreFrancisco, Portland, San Diego and in Europe such as Amsterdam, Hamburg, Stuttgart although in Germany they may be called Adler/eagle.  Dallas, fortunately, has one too. I remember the old Dallas Eagle on Inwood Road back in the 1990's. A great dive bar with all the charms of a Texas roadhouse with lots of men wearing painted on boot cut Wrangler jeans, cowboy boots, western hats as well as leather, uniforms. Friendly crowd that wants lots of man to man interactions drinking beer, whiskey, whooping & hollering. Only the infamous Trestle (R.I.P) could beat the Eagle back in the days of yore for the playfulness and camaraderie.   Well, Dallas Eagle has moved  farther south to a more secluded location more fit for a true roadhouse like in an El Paso Wreaking Company sort of way.  Huge building, that looks like strange, modern brutalist architecture with a faux western saloon façade, to accommodate a good crowd. Outdoor patio to smoke cigars which could be ideal for pups & their masters. Indoor long U shaped full service bar with multiscreen tv's. Draft beers, and they do have my favorite Texas Shiner Bock.  Obligatory pool table as well as a St. Andrew's cross for those into chamois deer skIn floggers, etc. Lockers to stow your gear although not sure if locks are provided. Leather Store. Amazing display cases featuring colors, memorabilia from various motorcycle, Bear, Leder organizations.  There are happy hours everyday except for Monday. Tuesday has all day discounted domestic beers & well drinks. Tons of special nights that cater to different segments of the Leather Community which you can look up on their website.  5 stars
