It is the owners basement. This is where they hold private family events. So do not bother them.

I stopped in for a Lone Star, while waiting for my Wife to have an MRI aound the corner. I was greeted by a overly salty bartender, asking if I had a "membership". Did I die and wake up in the 1970s? Anyway, I gave her my d/l, so I could get my $4.50 Lone Star longneck. I sipped that while I waited, but I felt very uncomfortable, so I finished it and left. I tipped her $1.50 anyway, but I'll NEVER be back again. read more

The WORST service I've ever receieved. owner grabs purses just to grab a chair without even asking if I would move it! the bartender was rude from the moment we walked in and apparently talking on the phone while sitting at the bar is not allowed? Then they have the audacity of calling us rude for deciding to leave! Will never return back. Definitely some racism Involved but that's neither here nor there read more

Used Uber to go get a few drinks, bar down the street cut me off after 4 beers, walked down to this bar, and the other bar called them and told them not to serve me, Used uber to get out of the area and had another 4 beers and used uber to get back to the hotel. Apparently they do not want out of town money. Avoid this place if you want a few drinks to relax. read more

DONT MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THE REGULARS! You have been forewarned! Ummmm...shady & stanky don't begin to adequately describe this dive. I walked in around 10 p.m. & saw a few folks who all appeared to be regulars who probably started drinking at 5 p.m., right after work, but at 10:30 weren't ready to leave. I saw many people stumbling & heard lots of slurred speech. One lady literally stumbled backwards against my friend and just leaned on him before she walked out of the bar...Another weird occurrence - there was a small white dog that ended up having her own seat on a bar stool. She was the quietest & most well behaved patron at the bar. I wonder what her poison is. *raised eyebrow* I made a decent time of my visit by playing shuffleboard and having a Maker's Mark Manhattan straight up (which I had to instruct the bartender on how to make). tsk-tsk. I shall not return. read more

King's X - shuffleboard table - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This could easily be my new favorite dive bar. Too bad it's so far off my radar. A group of us wandered in last night and had a great time. Dana (I think) was our bartender and she was awesome. I enjoyed talking with her when she had some down time. This bar is private so they have to scan your driver's license, and you sign some sort of membership, but then you have your drink in your hand. This bar has pool tables, shuffle board, juke box, video games and a few TV's to watch sports. They had Rangers and the Heat/Spurs game both on last night. Also who doesn't love a bar that serves bugle chips and pretzels! They don't have any windows so it was easy to lose track of time, but we were having a good time. Would definitely love to come back for cheap drinks! read more

Lynn was absolutely amazing!!! Highly highly recommend! Ignore the sketchiness when pulling up and go inside, the vibes are immaculate, everyone is friendly and the drinks are good. read more

After the show it's the after party!!!! Woop! Oh my goodness, we fell into King's X after one of our CMYE at Lalibela's next door and was immediately greeted with a "come on in" from everyone at the bar! This is definitely a hole-in-the wall dive where everyone that walks in...is officially family! They have plenty of space to have a seat and grab a couple of drinks at the bar with three TV's as well (thanks for playing the Spurs game...WOOP). They also have a shuffle board, slot machines, pool tables and a juke box!!! Love it!! We settled down at a small table by the bar and just took in the atmosphere of the place...and then our bartender brought over a bowl of chips for us....as we looked closer we noticed the goodies that were inside: bugles, fritos, nacho chips, potato chips and bbq chips. Don't judge me, but I couldn't stop munching on the bugles!!! LOL! I think I might've picked all of them out of the bowl...LOL! After the fellas had a few drinks (and shots thanks to Chester) we ended the night with laughs and a friendly goodbye from everyone there. I'm starting to realize, it's not where you go...it's who you're with and you can have a good time anywhere with the right people, so grab your friends and hit King's X! read more

King's X - #oldschool! Chips & salsa?!?! Naaaah!!! - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Lynn is amazing! Had a great time playing darts and taking $1 Jell-O shots. Great place to come hang for a good time, good atmosphere, great service, and cheap drinks. read more

What can I say? It's just my kind of place. I've driven passed it for almost 40 years and finally went in. I loved the atmosphere and the service. Great customers too. I can't wait to go back. read more

4* ? you say ? Well, 4* for the fun but the cheap booze did a few of us in. I'm one of the lucky ones who drank beer and had no ill effects but if you drink cheap alcohol it will get you in the end. No food, cheap alcohol, hangovers in our party and you wonder what's up with the 4 stars? Live music, good fun, crazy people = a lot of entertainment! . So if this is what you are looking for King's X has it. Just eat before you get here because there is nothing to eat here and a little advise from a seasoned dive bar gal - drink beer if you want to get out of bed the next morning. read more

Allright, it's hard to explain, but this bar's pretty great. Its just the kindof place that makes you feel good.

Pretty sure my dad was a regular when he was alive and younger. Found this old business card in his wallet. Notice the pre area code phone number!! read more

King's X - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Our go-to neighborhood bar! We love to play darts, pool and shuffleboard here. We also love the small, eclectic feel to this dive. Make nice with the bartenders, and they will bring you drinks when they see that you're empty! read more

Love this place. Family style dive bar. They have pool and shuffle board. Easily the best bar ever, most comfortable non posh easy going place in Dallas. read more

My favorite neighborhood dive. The people are colorful, the beer is cold and it's quiet enough to hold a conversation.... Dark and off the beaten path .... It doesn't get better than that. read more

This place is in a real bad part of town! They have to lock the door during the day and night if no one is there! The bartenders are really rude and act like you are there to wait on them. Wouldn't recommend this place at all. Don't go outside unless you want to be panhandled or SHOT! read more

Tiny place, really not a place to go with a big group of friends for a night out. Fortunately that wasn't what I was looking for when I went in. About a month ago me and my husband went in for a quick drink and we can't stop coming back. It's a relatively quiet, intimate spot with friendly bartenders and equally friendly patrons. It really is a great place to have a few drinks and relax while watching football, or just talking with friends. I genuinely love it here. read more

This is one of the most underrated dive bars in Dallas! If you've never been here, you might have a hard time finding the place. This neat little dive is tucked away in the strip mall, just east of Greenville, on the north side of Forest Lane, next to Momo's Italian restaurant. The lounge was brought to my attention a number of years ago, as a hideout for some local celebrities. If you ask the bartenders, they can regale you with stories of Don "Nelly" Nelson (the old Dallas Maverick's coach) and Owen Wilson playing poker or dominoes in the back of the club, for $100 a game. They both used to be regulars here and stop by from time to time, when they're in town. There are a couple of TVs which usually have news or sports on. They serve a cold beer, a stiff drink, and usually have live music (blues) on the weekends. King Me! read more

Who doesn't love a little neighborhood bar where the guest are as salty as the tequila salt?!?!? This place is located next to Lalibela's and is convenient to have a nightcap! Even though it is considered a private bar, they welcome all who enter! They have everything a little "hole in the wall" could offer: shuffle board game, juke box, awesome bar staff, and tv's playing the latest sporting events! I felt so at home, I just make this one of my new watering holes! You can hide and socialize at the same time! Great place! read more

Straight up dive bar- and that's a compliment. No windows, Christmas lights, door bell that rings every time someone walks in the solid metal security door, Jell-O shots. Walked in and Chaka Khan was on the jukebox followed by billy squier, followed by 15 minutes of silence because no one paid for any songs. Asked what beers they had and bartender said nothing and just pointed to the bottles on the wall. Including us, only 6 customers on Friday night, which was perfect. Bartender was very nice. These places are becoming harder to find so finding kings X was a nice surprise. read more

If you're looking for a small cozy place to relax, come to King's X. Bet-N-Man plays there every other Saturday. Great band. The female lead has an awesome voice. read more

I _would_ review this place, but it was closed up tighter than Dick's hatband when we went by today. I suppose it may not be open on Sunday. read more

Kings X, a long time favorite. Been in operation since 1978, with owners Monte and Joan for the last 26 years!! A great place to meet old friends and new ones. read more

DO MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THE REGULARS ALSO, TREAT THEM LIKE HUMAN BEINGS MAYBE because they're amazing and this place is amazing. This bar's clientele taught me a trick shot in pool (Juan), argued with me about the Constitution (the 3/5 compromise in particular), and got me as close to experiencing the life of a Vietnam War combat medic as I'll ever get (Larry). Short story: great bartenders, great people, great jukebox, great atmosphere. Doesn't matter who you are, the regulars will treat you like you're one of them. No draft beers (proud to say I helped kill the last keg ever at King's X), but by the time you've talked to anyone at the bar, either side, you'll realize that doesn't matter. I speak with a convert's fervor because I didn't like this place at first. A close friend of mine came up to me raving about it one day and mentioned that apparently Owen Wilson had once been seen there. The first time I went was an education. "Can you make a manhattan?" I asked rhetorically, fully expecting the drink. "No," said the bartender. My friend just sort of laughed and I ordered a Maker's Mark, neat. I was put off. Then I got to know the place. The people are friendly. There are actual regulars. A lot of people call King's X a dive bar, and I guess that's right, but "dive" is too much a label to be accurate. I loved lower Greenville and Knox-Henderson when I lived in Dallas, but King's X isn't just a watering hole. It's a place where the patrons remember Dallas before it was a mid-level rung on the corporate ladder, before SMU got the death penalty, before there was a JFK monument catty-corner to El Centro downtown. Go, and be yourself, because the people there will welcome you with open arms, no matter who that is. I loved Dallas. This place and these people are part of why I did. read more

Don't go by what it looks like on the outside. Or inside. This is a local watering hole, the drinks are strong, the people friendly and they'll remember your name the next time you go in. Good friendly patrons who will accept you as one of the herd in no time. read more

Great dive bar with cheap beer, pool, and other games. Friendly staff and patrons. Not much more you can ask for in a local bar.
