Okay, so I'm from out of town and came in here for just a shot. Christina is the absolute best. She chased me down the street cause we forgot a phone. So obviously we had to come back and hang out with her more. She was the absolute sweetest and made our night. She's the best, come see her. Can't recommend her enough. 20/5. You can tell that she cares about each person and wants to make everyone's experience the best possible. LOVE HER!!! read more

Nice bar. My drink was really good. I had a mezcal drink.... Hate that there's no snacks/ bites other than the popcorn read more

Parker Barrows - Popcorn!! It was good popcorn.... But that's all the bar snacks/bites they offer. - Delis Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is a great local bar with local folks. Live music on the weekends. Great staff who are friendly and courteous, but with just enough of the no-nonsense, not-here-to-bother you sensibility that I love. Bonnie and Clyde theme is neat, if a bit kitschy. Solid beer selection. Try the Malort--you'll regret it, but it's somehow worth it? A strange experience of an alcohol, that one. read more

Best deli in oak cliff! Most of my five star reviews are based off a combination of food, service and appearance. However with Parker Barrows it was five stars based off their sandwiches alone! Great cuts of meat, genius sub pairings and phenomenal sides. Get the Barrow's Gang with two sides of chips. If meat ain't your thang then go with the vegetarian and splurge on coleslaw. In addition to great sandwiches they have an awesome craft beer tap selection and a phenomenal cocktail menu that's sure to meet anyone's taste. The staff is also super friendly and regardless of where you're from you will easily blend in with the locals that pack in. Overall you're in for a great experience, amazing food and good conversation whether you come solo or with company. Enjoy! read more

This is unfortunately one of those businesses that over the last 8 years just hates that bishop arts is growing and attracting people from other areas. If you come here and aren't a local, they treat you like an un wanted pest and you get garbage service with a side of a ton of resentment. Not worth it. Get with the times and welcome all guests equally. This is probably why your bar is empty with only an angry female bartender that works here with colorful hair at the bar being obnoxiously loud. Best asset is the man playing incredible live music outside. read more

First time in the area, and trace was very welcoming and gave me great service. Definitely recommend coming and visiting them.

So so with the drinks and atmosphere ... Not that great to be honest Nice when it's good weather ... read more

Reasoning for the 1 star.... Went in at 1 am (they close at 2am) with my boyfriend expecting to get a drink or two and ending up leaving a minute later. As we walked in, the bartender was cleaning as if he was closing and it through my boyfriend off so he asked if they were in fact closing for some reason and the bartender responded "well yeah I actually am right now..." We ended up going to the other bar a few doors down and had an amazing time with the girl working the bar there! Hope they can get their stuff together here... read more

A little New Orleans in the Bishop Arts area of Dallas. This is a cool little corner bar on Bishop Street that has a good beer selection on draft. They also sell a lot of Abita beer and the decor inside which the subway tile makes you think you're in New Orleans not Dallas. We got two old fashioneds reasonably priced at $8/drink. What's really nice is when the weather is good they open up the windows and the counters can be used if you're sitting inside or right outside. They had some live music on Friday night which was a nice surprise as well. I would recommend coming here for a before or after dinner drink. I've seen it very busy during the day time when Bishop Arts has one of its many neighborhood events, but you can usually find a spot at the bar to sit at if you only have a couple people in your party. read more

Stumbled in here by accident. One of the best accidents ever! After golf we came by here with the boys for a beer and sandwich. This has got to be the best pastrami sandwiches in the country - no kidding. All four of us had this as the best pastrami ever. Now the beer is awesome as well with numerous local/regional beers on tap. Something for everyone! So if you want a New York style beat in the business sandwich and a great beer to wash it down go to Parker Borrows. Also the owner is extremely nice with a great conversation if not too busy. Will be back - can't wait!!! For those waiting in line at read more

If you're in Bishop Arts this is a nice spot to drop by. Bonus if Reagan is behind the bar and Ed Desabelle is playing music outside!

I love that you can sit at the open window. It is truly a bar. You order at the bar. The bartender was nice. It's super small, also. I didn't get an alcoholic beverage, Soni can't speak on that. I did get 1/2 a Suicide Sal which is a corned beef on rye though I got mine on potato bread. I wasn't impressed. The corned beef was tasteless. read more

Was here last month for the first time. I went with a friend to check out their grub bub. At first their band was performing outside, which was doable for conversation and a happy vibe. Sandwich ordered. Drinks in hand. Everything was swimming just peachy. Then for some unexplainable reason, the band moved inside, and I couldn't hear my date next to me, less than 1 foot away....MAJOR ugh!! I am okay at lip reading, but I am not an expert. We happily devoured their generous pastrami sandwich with homemade chip fries. Loved every bite. Split it between us cause it was huge. But the lack of silence or heavy loud noise made for a quick retreat out the door. The singer was great. The music was lively. But they should consider on a weekday, not everyone wants to rock out 100% to the band. Just saying. read more

I would of given this place 1 star but because we didn't try the food we gave it 2 stars. This place really disappointed me because of how beautiful it is and in such a great location! We went in on a Saturday around 3pm and maybe 5 people in the bar total and 2 bartenders. The man was very nice and in a great mood. The woman on the other hand didn't seem very knowledgeable of cocktails in general. She also seemed really drunk because she was stumbling. After taking my husbands drink order, she forgot it and asked him what he wanted again. Then couldn't remember who ordered it and was walking around with it calling out the name of the drink. Both drinks were not good. So we decided not to stay and get food. We closed out and left my drink unfinished on the bar. We are both in the service industry! We know good service and good drinks and found neither here. read more

I stopped here on a whim while out on business in the area. The food here was great. Tons of bacon on my fried green tomato sandwich. I was alone and the bartender was unfriendly and closed off. You can see it's just his personality. I don't think this guy should be bartending and stick to whatever he did before. Most boring 30 minutes of my life so I got my sandwich to go. :S By the time I got my other 1/2 of my sandwich home to more pleasant surroundings it was soggy. So $20 lunch check for a 1/2 a good sandwich, a beer, and bad service. Yay! read more

I feel like even if I tell you how much I was not ready for the sheer awesomeness of this, you'd still struggle to prepare yourself appropriately for what's to come. It would be awesomeness overload! I had the pleasure of attending a Chocolate and Rum Pairing event there. It was great! I had a lot of fun. But the real winner of the night was my Fried Green Tomato Sandwich with a fantastic aioli and sweet tomato jam and thick sliced bacon. The sandwich is so big that getting only a half felt like a reprieve because this sammich ain't for punks. I opted for the coleslaw as my side. The only thing is needed was more salt and pepper, but it was good! Now, let's take it to the atmosphere. This speakeasy has a laid back feel and encourages interactive dining with random strangers. I like that! The bartenders were maestros at their craft, and I had a lovely night. I will most definitely be back for the Pastrami. read more

I love this bar. I'm from the Midwest and have lived in LA and New York and spent a lot of time in SF and Austin and this bar is better than most of the bars I've been to in those places. It's chill, nice, not needy or pompous, and they know what they're doing. It's almost like if a dive bar were a nice bar. Anyplace that hands me a Ranch Water that tastes the way it's supposed to by a bartender you could hang out with on a Saturday afternoon, is best in my book. And the crowd doesn't suck. Do yourself a favor and hang out here for a while. read more

Good pastrami. OK red beans and rice, that needed salt. Pretty good beer selection that could be better if they replaced that junk from Abita. Really tasty but really tiny Bloody Mary. Good friendly svc from Rex. I'd happily come back here but wouldn't order a Bloody again. read more

Great "bar next door". Set in a slow-paced neighborhood, low key vibe yet lively, and a diverse crowd. As an added bonus, there's an excellent band playing every Saturday night on the corner outside. This isn't the rowdy uptown bar where you'll see people throwing back shots. But if you're trying to grab drinks with the fellas or looking for a night cap after a date - Parker Barrows is your spot. read more

Parker Barrows - Delis Near Me - Dallas, Texas

What can I say, this is hands down my favorite place for a drink in Dallas. From the name, a callout to Oak Cliff's most notorious residents, Clyde Barrows and Bonnie Parker, to the open air windows that allow outside to be inside and vice versa and amazing musicians multiple nights of the week. Every cocktail is created with care, the old fashioned being my favorite, and the beer list is one of the best in the metroplex. And if you're hungry? They can fix that too. Don't be skeptical of prices, the sandwiches are worth every penny and will most likely leave you with leftovers. read more

Parker Barrows - Delis Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Anyone who knows anything about the Dallas food scene will tell you that while the city is stacked on burgers, tacos, tex-mex, and japanese, there's a bizarre white space where good delis and sandwiches should be. Sure, Uncle Uber's can dish up a great sammie if you can somehow get your gaze off of their burgers, and East Hampton has certainly made their mark on the city, but here and there I'm craving something out of a New York deli. Parker Barrows may well be the chosen one to fill the sandwich void. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? I'm not entirely sure how, but Parker Barrows has secured some of the best real estate in Bishop Arts if not in Dallas. They take advantage of this fully with some hybrid indoor outdoor seating that nicely suits the dual brewhouse sandwich shop business model. Service is fast and friendly, and my sandwich came out in roughly 10 minutes. Just one thing of note here is that Parker Barrows only has one average sized television by my count, so it might not be your ideal spot to catch a game especially with well stocked Lockhart Smokehouse across the street. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? I'll admit, when I first saw the $15.00 price tag slapped onto my Texas Pastrami Sandwich I experienced a bit of sticker shock, but all of that and more was alleviated when I saw the size of this sandwich. My picture doesn't do it justice, but this was an absolute behemoth. I know I probably all too often throw around the whole "this meal could really be two meals" phrase, but I mean that here in the most literal sense. Two meals. Two sandwiches, and a side of chips in this case to boot. That being the case, I need to throw an accurate price of $7.50 on what were really two "sandwiches", and $7.00 for a meal is more than reasonable especially with a side. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? So the sandwich selection here at Parker Barrows isn't necessarily huge, but goodness me was this a good option. One question from the get-go was, "what is Texas Pastrami anyway? Is it just pastrami from here in Texas or is there something unique about it?" In this case, it appeared as though Texas Pastrami is... well... Corned Beef. If you don't know the difference, it's that corned beef is soaked in salt water brine and spices before being boiled while pastrami is traditionally cured and soaked before being encrusted in peppercorn and smoked. While I don't know for sure, this tasted as though it was brisket that had been soaked in salt water and spices before maybe being smoked without the peppercorn portion of the equation? I'm curious as to the actual answer. The meat, piled high, was very good, although I'll admit it could have been ever so slightly more moist, as the large quantity got a bit dry at times when you took a bite. The bread was excellent, the chips excellent, and overall this was the perfect option to satisfy a NY Deli craving. I need to return to sample another sandwich to really put Parker Barrows to the test, but for now, Dual Stars Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? So here's what I'm going to do. In the next we'll say two weeks, I'm going to return to Parker Barrows and order a different sandwich. Should that sandwich hold up, Parker Barrows just might claim this fifth star, but for now, the Texas Pastrami fell over so slightly short of securing it on its own here. Time will tell! No Star Granted. read more

Not what we remembered coming here 3years ago...the absolute ...and I hate to say this but it's true, worst Pastrami sandwich I've ever had...PERIOD..great served but the food looked NOTHING like it was when we came the first time and CLEARLY not like the pics the have for the pastrami sandwich.

Cool place with stark black and white decor that fits in well in Bishop Arts. Good selection of beer and craft cocktails. We did not get anything to eat, so I cannot comment on the food other than to register my disappointment at seeing another wholly meat-centric menu. However, my two star rating is wholly on account of the service. The bartender was arrogant, crass, and snidely misogynistic. My friend enjoyed his old fashioned, but I did not enjoy the fact that he decided to go out and have a smoke break. It isn't the cigarette I mind, it is the fact that he was the only one working and did not bother to check with his only customers before abandoning the post for a smoke. He did not seem to care. As a result, we did not care to stay and took our business elsewhere. In sum, the food menu is limited and without offer veg. options, the decor is in keeping with the hipster vibe of Bishop Arts, and the sole employee I encountered was rude and not attentive. Try it out and see what you think (hopefully you meet a different bartender), but I personally don't care to return to Parker Barrows. read more

Very fun and cute little place to grab some beer! It's right on the corner of Davis and is in a cute little area to walk around! Definitely stop by to grab a drink!
