I rarely go to Deep Ellum, and you cannot deny the unique and honest vibe the whole area has. It truly feels like a continuous art scene, from building to building. A cool factor. Something that makes you want to take your shoes off and walk around barefoot. Just absorb all the talent and energy surrounding you. The Art Co fits right into what I just described. Everyone's welcome. There's a big mix of people standing around talking about and admiring the art. Lights fill the large room and a bar that feels like it could take you back to 1990s. There wasn't a band this night, but I can only imagine what this place looks like with music playing. And the owner - truly a nice person who knows how to make everyone feel welcome. I enjoyed my first visit to the Deep Ellum Art Co, and look forward to coming back.

The place has a full bar with an impressive list craft beers and ciders. Most of the beers and ciders were from local breweries. My favorite was the Manhattan Project Dark Matter, a peanut butter porter. I also enjoyed the Peticolas Irish Red. This was a fun spot and well worth going to a concert here. The walls of the place are adorned with the works of local artist that are for sale. The bartender also has a nice selection of tie dye t-shirts etc. and is willing to do custom work where you pick the colours and patterns. One of the only drawbacks was the lack of seating.

**Disappointing Experience at Hermann Marshall**…read more I attended a private event at Hermann Marshall on August 16th, held in their private party room. This was my third time attending a private event at Hermann Marshall, and unfortunately, it was the first time I experienced what I felt was inconsistent and disappointing service. As part of the event, the host offered complimentary mixed drinks served by Hermann Marshall staff. My server was Mary Ann, who I understand is married to the manager/owner. Mary Ann initially served me one complimentary Old Fashioned, which, as usual, was very good. About an hour later, I returned to the bar for another. At that point, Mary Ann placed her hand over the Old Fashioned dispenser and told me they were no longer serving complimentary drinks because the prepaid limit had been reached. She then told me I could purchase one if I wanted another drink. I had no issue with purchasing a drink, so I got my debit card and purchased a smoked Old Fashioned. What I found confusing, however, was that there appeared to be a significant amount of the premixed Old Fashioned remaining in the dispenser. Approximately an hour later, while getting food near the bar, I saw Mary Ann serve another attendee an Old Fashioned from the same container she had previously told me was no longer available for complimentary drinks. I asked Mary Ann why I had been charged for my drink while another attendee was still receiving complimentary Old Fashioneds. Her response was unclear, but she ultimately told me that if I wanted another drink, I would need to pay for it. From what I observed, however, other attendees were continuing to receive complimentary Old Fashioneds within the limit established by the party host. What made the situation particularly disappointing was not having to pay for a drink--I was perfectly willing to do that--but rather the inconsistent treatment and lack of transparency regarding how the complimentary drinks were being distributed. I have been a consistent patron of Hermann Marshall, attending Tuesday Bingo nights, happy hours, and other events, and I have also brought friends with me. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling uncomfortable and disappointed, particularly given the circumstances surrounding the event. I believe all guests should receive consistent and transparent service, regardless of who they are. Based on this experience, I will no longer be supporting Hermann Marshall or recommending HM to friends. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, as this was a very different experience from the positive experiences I've had at Hermann Marshall in the past.

One of the best parts is the music level. It's fun and sets the mood, but it's not so loud that you can't actually have a conversation. Being able to bring in your own food is also a huge bonus and makes the experience even better. Definitely one of our favorite spots.

It has a special, magical charm of the perfect dive bar. I'm ignoring my previous trip there as, well, I should not have brought that person to this place. This place is not for pretentious people. Thus I was at home at this spot. It looks camouflaged by plain wrapping with a boring exterior. Open the door and it is a world of more things to explore than you have time to. You are treated like family as a stranger. Be ready to be among people who want to know you. I guess I fit as some there knew my friends from other dive bars. I never realized how small the Dallas Dive bar world was. I have some cool friends. The music is good on the video jukebox. The tears came to my eyes as a few post 9/11 patriotic songs were played (I bleed Army green and so did some that didn't return home to their moms intact.) Glad none there saw my eyes or noticed my toast to my memories. The couple dancing on the next song made me feel more at home. Good thing a good 2 step or waltz never played or I might have had to find a partner. The decor is somewhat Green Bay Packer-ish. Okay, a lot of Green Bay love in the decor. Heh, yes, I still carry a grudge from the 1967 Ice Bowl as a life long Cowboy fan should! But, I respect a bar owner who has actual stock in his/her team and displays it proudly! So that adds another star or would that be Starr? The patrons make this one special. This is one of the great dive bars!

The sound is good, there is a lot of space to mingle (or "network" as the suits say), and all shows are 21+. The place is available for private parties, too. The venue owner describes the place as a "rock club and a house party combined." Even though the place is still steadying it's legs, I can see it turning into a long-running venue, offering alternative, indie, and non-genre artists a home to play their music.
