We came for Wednesday night musical bingo and a great time! I ended up winning one of the rounds and went home with a RR gift card! For dinner I had the Smash Patty Melt... 9/10. What made this melt nearly perfect was the caramelized onions and the sourdough bread. The bread was toasted to perfection with the best crunch. I usually tear the corners off of bread, but I saw this one all the way through. The only thing missing was a "special sauce" to tie it all together. The fries were solid; simple seasoning with a soft middle and crisp edges. I was lured in by the bingo, but I'll be coming back for the food!

Dive into this little Uptown gem the next time you want a chill vibe and good drinks…read more I love a dive bar as much as the next person, but some of them are just too rinky dinky for my liking. Not Strangeways. I found them via an invite to the Opentabs events. Initially, I wasn't going to attend, but after a quick review of their social media I was sold. A dive bar...in Uptown...with character?! Who knew. It was more spacious than anticipated, in parking and interior space. The area is well lit and there is a substantial amount of seating (outside picnic tables, inside tables, bar, and highboys). It was past my bedtime, so I didn't stay too long. I'll give it another try for the food!

The drafts/ liquor options span from supporting local to worldly options abroad. Any weird trendy shot I've needed to try? I come here full well knowing the service will reign supreme. Live events ?

Call ahead to ensure that the venue is open. Enjoy this neighborhood gem!

They had ordered a bunch of appetizers for us to share so I was really not thinking that it would be enough for dinner, but they sure kept the food coming out the chicken strips with thick and juicy. The quesadillas was delicious. The tacos were crates and the wings had all different flavor flavors to them. The dry wings were my favorite. They were so crispy and seasoned perfectly. The wet wings were a lot of sauce and of course I'm trying to look dainty like a lady and I've got sauce all over my face, lol but it was all good. It was a great great time and the service was fabulous.

We got a cheeseboard, but if I had to recommend one thing, definitely the fried mushrooms if you like mushrooms. They're huge and the spicy cilantro sour cream sauce is killer! We sat in the indoor/outdoor area, which was my fave. It can take a minute to flag someone down when it's busy, but that felt understandable for how busy they were. Easy place to settle into and lose track of time a bit--just drinks, conversation, and good food without overthinking it.

I came for "just one pint" and left three days later wearing someone else's sweater, speaking in a…read morequestionable accent, and convinced I'm 1/16th Irish on my mother's side (DNA test still pending). The Guinness is poured so perfectly it should be in the Louvre. The bartender, Austin (I'm pretty sure that's his real name and not just what he tells customers), has the patience of a saint and the sarcasm of a man who's been asked "Do you have anything like Guinness but less dark?" one too many times. Highlights: The fish & chips were so good I briefly considered converting to Catholicism just so I could thank God properly. The bathroom graffiti is poetic. "Roses are red, violets are blue, I came for a piss and met half the crew." - actual quote. Then you've got Hannah, who's basically the pub's chaos coordinator. She's got blonde hair that could guide ships in a fog and a laugh that echoes like a banshee having a great time. Don't sleep on Wes - He'll nod once, slide you your drink, and if you're lucky, mutter something profound like "Life's short, drink good stout." Then he disappears to polish glasses like he's auditioning for a monastery. Absolute mystery man, 10/10 enigma. And rounding out the crew is Paige, the wildcard. She's got stories that start with "Back in then..." and end with police chases, lost sheep, and at least one exploding still. She'll flirt with your grandma, roast your ex in three sentences or less. There is also this Asian guy that looks like a confused troll with blonde hair. He lives up to the saying once you go Asian it's amasian. Can't forget the blonde girl that's going through the Dallas legacy transition of bottle service to real estate. Shes as good at serving as she is selling real estate. These people run the bar like a well-oiled dysfunctional family. They banter with each other louder than the jukebox, remember birthdays you forgot you told them, and have an unspoken code: if you're having a rough night, they'll slide you a free shot and pretend it was a mistake. If you're being a gobshite, they'll roast you into next week without missing a pour.

The patio was spotless and made for a really relaxing atmosphere. You can tell they take pride in the details. The food was just as impressive.

I'll definitely be coming back.

We had a reservation but probably would have been seated right away anyway, but again it was a holiday and they got super busy before we left so I'm sure that was not typical. Our server was good but service was super slow and I had to remind them of things a couple of times. For larger groups they have one really large booth and several pub height tables. The only issue with those is the chairs are not comfortable, especially for short people and there is nowhere to put your feet to make it more comfortable. That's a thing for me...if you're short, you understand. Other than that, it's a large dining area with a rolling garage type door that opens up during good weather and a nice size patio area. Parking can be scarce in the neighborhood but if you don't mind walking a couple of blocks, you're good. I ordered the bagel sandwich and it did not disappoint! The chicken was perfectly fried. The seasoning and batter combined with the pickles on the bun reminded me of a certain competitor that is closed on Sundays. The egg was well done and the ham grilled with just a touch of char to it. It was a hearty sandwich that turned into two meals. The purple potato bacon'd hash is so good, and it looks like a small portion but it's very filling. We also got an order of the roasted apple pie pancakes to share (and still had leftovers!) and they were so fluffy and decadent. Not overly sweet, but sweet enough. The food is easily a 5 while the service on this visit was just a 3-4 but still good. Nothing that will keep us from going back, for sure.

This review is long overdue but hey as long as I get it done…read more We were luckily referred to Harwood Arms by the front desk of our hotel at check-in, which was conveniently within walking distance (~10 mins) and has a kitchen that's open late which was nice after a day of travel, later check-in and being hungry. It was a few days before Thanksgiving, there was a decent crowd in the bar and everyone including the bartender (who's name I now cant remember because I took so long to write this) were all very friendly and helpful. The bar was warm, cozy and decked out in Christmas decor (and cute bathroom wallpaper). Good beer selection, great food (I literally ate the tikka masala twice during our couple day trip) and they were conveniently open on Thanksgiving after the game and a fun shot wheel, which was both fun to partake in and fun to watch others do. We will definitely be back if we find ourselves back in Dallas.

The hotel property is like four legs under the table - a great location, a great hotel experience, a great restaurant experience, and a entertainment experience (The Mansion Bar). At least one leg has been kicked out, one is suffering. The Mansion Bar used to have a great recipe for success - proven by how busy and regular the customers were and loyal (or was), and the top tier talent that was routine for 10+ years. Me and my friends have a relationship with the long time staff as customers as well as the excellent music talent. The cause? Not precisely sure but I think it's new ownership, at the very least a new Food & Bev manager. I also know the staff is very upset about these changes and the relationships with the repeat music talent is now a mess. I wouldn't be surprise if the staff start leaving. I'm hoping whomever is making these decisions can revert back to what was working. Dallas has a lot of great venues that will fill this void.
