This was a great spot! Very large/spacious and the energy was fun! This was the vibe I was looking for! The bartender had great service and a great personality! Games were on the tv, the darts and games were full and everyone seemed to be having a great time. They have Touch Tunes which is by far my favorite! So everyone playing music had some great selections and kept the tunes going. We didn't eat during this visit but the drinks are reasonably priced! I'd definitely go back as this was recommended by several as a fun, clean dive bar! I can agree. read more

King's X - Dive Bars Near Me - El Paso, Texas

If you're coming to El Paso and staying on the west side (which you should) you need to come by the King's X. It's dicey, divey and all things great. My parents have been coming here for decades adoring the touch tunes on the wall, the pool tables that may or may not work, and the service. Well, you may have to yell across the bar multiple times but you'll get your drink. But you'll get it. And the prices for those icy good suds? Cheap. Stop by here and ask for a sticker, you'll be glad you did. read more

The food has real authentic flavor and you can tell it's a true family restaurant. Service was excellent--everything felt fresh and homemade. The beans especially were so delicious! They start you off with chips and soup, and our drinks came out really fast. We didn't have to wait at all, just snacking and enjoying while our meal was being prepared. Such a great experience! - Honest Twins Mom ‍‍ Las Vegas read more

Kings X and Lucy cafe Has Been so good to me and my dad Ever since Covid -19 2020 You all for the past 5 years Teaching me about new drinks Since I was 21 I love the combination plate here of course I get so picky sometimes You all know what I love so I go with that It's been while since I've been here read more

Stinky, old carpeted bar. Bartender was sick and coughing/ touching everything. Very strange group of patrons.

I love this place, love music and good people great bartenders and great food next door. I'm a rams fan but I still like coming to this classic Steelers bar read more

Food is authentic and kitchen staff is very friendly. One bad apple bartender at the bar has been constantly unfriendly. I don't recommend this place read more

Over serve d people and the restrooms are never clean and full of shit and tampons with blood everywhere no sweeps or mops and many illegal sells read more

Great bar with cheap drinks. Loved the karaoke. The Mexican candy shots are great too.

Sam provided terrible service as a bartender. Had the worst attitude and should never serve again. He purposely would ignore my request for drinks without any merit. For the record, on my Google review for this mess of a place, I'm not sure whom the owner talked to but I was not told to leave as I left on my own. Otherwise, it's definitely a lie from the owner himself to save face, which isn't helping resolve the real issue(s). As a business owner myself, I can see how this bar has stayed the same for years apparently, without much growth. I've never had service where I had to literally raise my hand just to get the bartender's attention, several times at that. This place is extremely unprofessional and that kind of demeanor should NEVER be tolerated at a workplace, even for a rundown bar. Word of advice: it should be wise to get our facts straight before simply "hearing" about things, and then proceeding to try and protect your already inadequate staff. Do better, get your staff to work on their customer service skills, and make sure they're doing their job professionally before others start complaining about it as well. I highly don't recommend this place. Everyone else can do better, unless you're okay with bad service, horrible seats and furniture that can cause injuries, and a mediocre atmosphere. read more

So happy I found this bar! The crowd was completely mixed and the karaoke was going 100% This little bar has a little bit of everything: Karaoke...Yes! Pool tables... Yes! Dart boards... Yes! Shuffle board... Yes! Outdoor patio... Yes! Clean restrooms...Yes! Bartenders who know how to bartend... Yes! But seriously though, it is a hole in the wall kind of dive bar with a fun positive vibe! I don't know if karaoke is everyday but I stopped by on a Saturday and it was going full speed! Definitely looking forward to coming back. read more

little dive bar i've been going to for years. one of my favorite hangs on the west side!sometimes the bartenders suck, sometimes they're really great - depends who's working lol. but they have pool, darts, and karaoke so you know i'm there!!! read more

We came here about 3 o'clock there were three of us in our party. We came to eat we came to drink. I got the skirt steak and eggs and it was delicious. The hashbrowns were on point. We also got two breakfast burritos on the side. Everything was delicious. The amber bach were cold and the mugs were frosty. I'm a big fan of this establishment read more

I love coming to this place for lunch. The crowd is a great cross section of El Paso and the atmosphere is welcoming. Lucy's restaurant is right next door and their food is great. Their staff is just as friendly and I've yet to be disappointed with food or service. read more

I am a Steelers fan, no better way to watch the game then a Steelers bar. It is now half time and nobody (servers )has bothered to ask if I would like something to drink, eat, nothing. Not even a FU... servers have pass by me not even 5 ft away. I would invite my fellow steeler fans to come visit my Steelers bar "Buxy's Salty Dog Saloon" in Ocean City MD. Where Steelers fan are always welcome no matter where you are from. ...I decided to let the person read my review before I post it, so requested to speak with this person. The game is back on and nobody showed. To bad Yelp doesn't have a negative rating because this place deserves negative ratings all around. read more

its a nice dive bar and they have food availble from next door which is good. the prices are good and the staff is nice. read more

Man, I hadnt been here forever. I went to order food at Lucy's so I decided to order a beer next door. Crappy service at Kings X. The girl who gave me my beer didn't acknowledge me or even look at me. I guess I needed to have a penis because she was sure chatting with the guys. read more

Pure dive bar bliss. I'm rating based on the experience you'll find on a Monday or Saturday night when they have karaoke with KJ Franky. The karaoke typically starts around 9 and is probably one of the best karaoke experiences in town. You can sign up for songs on your phone and the song list is phenomenal. The bartenders are true pros, working quickly in even a packed house, serving generous pours with friendly service. The clientele is also incredibly varied, where you might see an old man on oxygen go up to sing a song followed by someone that just turned 21, and everyone else in between. Be warned. This is an old dive bar. If you like strong cheap drinks and want to belt out your favorite tunes in an accepting environment, this is the place for you. If you want fufu drinks in a room with special attention paid to interior design, you're in the wrong place. Take a group of friends on a Saturday night and sing your heart out. read more

As dive bars go, this one is alright. I just went back after it reopened and have to say I think it has improved. At least the waitress was cute and friendly and not a bruiser like the previous ones. They have lots of TVs with all the football you can eat. Beware of the obnoxious Steeler fans. Beer is very cold and the burgers from next door Lucy's make for good bar fare. UPDATE: on a recent visit i could not help noticing the terrible smell which may come from the carpeting. note to the owner: please consider replacing the carpet. it's only going to get worse read more

Ok, so your looking for some fun and you want to know where you can let your hair down? Look no further. Here you will find a friendly crowd, attentive staff and when you want to rock & roll check the schedule for when the band F-BOMB is playing so that you know your evening will be complete. Teddy the owner is an awesome guy who really knows how to run a class "A" joint! He's a hell of a guy ! Cheers! read more

First thing I noticed is they had a good 90s rock band. The drink prices were great. For less than 40 bucks the four in my party had a good selection of beer to select from. We did notice that the wait staff and bartenders ignored a few patrons, so I highly recommend tipping or else you'll sit there with the same empty bottle of beer. It was a Friday night so it was moderately busy . Right next door is a restaurant, so very convenient. read more

Decent place to watch football. Gets really busy if popular teams are playing. Okay happy hours drink specials, and the restaurant next door provides Mexican food to order. read more

Warning: DIVE BAR. If that is your thing keep reading. Great drinks great prices great food. I can't say enough about this place. The people are always friendly and willing to just hang out or play pool, shuffleboard or darts. The bartenders are quick and so friendly. Saturday night is karaoke. Wide range of singers and music genres. You can play the jukebox from an app on your phone. I can't say enough about this place. I have so much fun every weekend. There is an outdoor area perfect for nights when it isn't too cold out. Try it you won't be disappointed. This place is an institution in El Paso and has been around since the 60s so keep that in mind. Edit: I previously said great food. I need to be more specific. The food comes from the restaurant next door, Lucy's. I love the mechacas burrito and salsa. Those are the only things I eat there. I have had the queso and found it to be not so good. Therefore, I stand by the bar stuff and the mechacas. There is plenty of parking in the back and clean bathrooms. Children have been spotted here during the daytime. I personally have not taken my child here yet and not really sure that I will since it is mommy's hideout. read more

Always looking for a Dive I can go to, get great service and see no one from work. The bartenders were talkative, wasn't crazy packed and attracted a regular local crowd. Don't know that last time I paid for Shiner at under $3/bottle, so that was awesome. The music being put on the jukebox by the regulars was awesome, if my girlfriend had been with me I'd have moved a table and two-stepped a bit. Lucy's really wants me to change my review, but once the waiter go my order my service was humming and the food as always was yummy. read more

Went in here to check out the place after being told it was a Steeler bar. Website shows a bunch of Steeler stuff, but when I visited in August 2009, there was only one piece of signage up. So if you are going for a game, just be aware that it isn't heavily decorated like most Steeler bars. Other than that seemed like your average dive bar, was busy the Saturday afternoon we stopped in. I would likely go back if I was in the area, but not sure I would make a trip there solely for the purpose to hang out. It had a locals hang out vibe to it, and seemed pretty low key but I have my own local dive that is closer. read more

Super chill dive bar with football, pool, shuffle board, poker and mega touch. Sweet bartenders and filled with locals. Played classic rock and is filled with fun beer paraphernalia. I love it here! read more

King's X - They have shuffle board as an alternative to their 2 pool tables and 3 card tables - Dive Bars Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Great drink prices! $3.50 captain. What killed it from getting 5 stars is the bartenders made our drinks weak and our shots significantly smaller than they made for their " regulars ". Was pretty upsetting. Other than that, place was fun. read more

Best place to be if your a steelers fan their can be so much energy their food is great i HIGHLY recomend it for you STEELER FANS Let's go STEELERS read more

I've been coming here for years, and this bar is an El Paso staple. It's been around for years and the people that go here are from all walks of life! My band plays here and I always have a great time! read more

The band can't understand the English language! How can they possibly be singing American rock music? Horrible experience!!! Waitress rude!!! read more

I always feel out of place and really young when I visit this place. So why put myself through the torture? Easy -- cheap drinks and an entertaining crowd. If you want to people watch this is the place to do it. Once saw an amazing fopa (look up on urban dictionary) encased in leather and pink ribbon. It was quite the fashion choice. read more

The bar is a great neighborhood bar with a lot of class A friendly regulars from all walks of life. Teddy one of the owner is perty much always drunk and let's his staff run the joint, the other Chet is minority owner is obnoxious and smells. While some of the waitresses are nice and attentive, the great majority are fat rude and give horrible service.( what could be expected of a bar where the owners get drunk in) Teddy is a good guy and has homeless guys living and showering inside the bar wish explains the smell. Over all with all the nice new bars in the area, I recommend you pass the Kings X by! read more

Great place to go hang out. I've been going to the King's X for 7 years especially on Karaoke nights. Taylor is such a great bartender and always know just how I like my drinks. KJ Franky is awesome too and he gets pretty busy nights at the King's X. He's very lively and informative about his shows. I love how comfortable I feel at this bar, some bars just don't feel right or service always suck but not at the King's X! Also they have great prices and specials every day of the week. read more

Got robbed by the big bartender. Owners daughter. She denied that i had given any cash to her for my rounds which was a flat out lie. Guess she needed to pay extra bills. My friend had to cover the whole tab after i already paid a few rounds read more

5 stars!!! Walked into this place on a Sunday afternoon in Oct. and i was shocked to say the least. There were about 250 mexicans drinking beer, crushing tacos and all wearing Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys watching the Steelers game having blast. I'm not a Steelers fan but, i have to say it was awesome! They have Sunday Ticket so all NFL games were on. Great food and awesome place to watch a ballgame. Their salsa's are all excellent they have several to choose from. In fact we ate there several times while visiting El Paso and everything we tried was great. read more

Good dive bar for spending a Friday night. Beers specials are good and karaoke provides a fun atmosphere. They close at Midnight for whatever reason. Patrons cover a wide range of ages, which is amusing. read more

Awwww yes the kings x. This place is just a great hangout! The juke box is always going, the beer always flowing. Not to mention its spacious and the patio is awesome. Great for groups and solo trips. Next door is Lucy's Mexican Restaruant., delicious food at great prices. It's clean and the staff are very friendly, and accommodating. They've also got very great specials. I've been a long time costumer of this place and I've always kept coming back home. read more

This place is awesome!! There's a bike night every month. 1st Tuesday every month great group of guys and it's growing every month!!! Get down there drinks are good staff is friendly!! read more

It's a dive bar and does divey things well. (When I went back to the bathroom around 830 pm, there was an old man surrounded by food on his table leaning back in his chair passed out). I think I prefer Lloyds down the road a ways better for my dive experience (plus their drinks are waaay stronger). But the people there were nice. I'd say 95 percent of the clientele was 45 year old men and up. The other five percent of females were the staff. King's has a lot of personality for a dive bar and has apparently been there forever. I hear they have karaoke Monday and Saturday so maybe I will try that out. Karaoke has a special effect on me if and if good, often leads to higher stars. Its true, I can be bought. But Lucy's is attached next door and they have awesome machaca. So if get a hankering for some food then Kings X and its proximity to Lucys raises it a star. read more

Does not get any more dive than this! Never a cover, the Lucy's located in the same building is top notch for food and munchies
