Went during happy hour and Tito's cocktails were 7.50/ea (cash price) for a double, which is not a bad deal. Bar is small inside though, with only one table against the mirrors. Did not want to sit outside in the patio as it was smoky. Bartenders were very friendly. Parking lot is small so you have to hunt for street parking. Otherwise, a great watering hole.

Really good dancers there, but they are pretty patient with learners. Nothing negative about the experience! Lots of bars, so you can always get a drink pretty quickly. It was busy, but I didn't wait much at any bar. I like that the bars have different themes. Take me to the bourbon bar every time though. Service with a big smile because everything is bigger in Texas!

When you think Texas, while you may think line dancing and country bars, you rarely think of a gay country bar with line dancing! But it exists and is Round-Up Saloon! The bar is large, as are most things in Texas. While it seems like one big open space, there are separate areas from the dance floor to pool table area, more formal bar station and even a patio. There are six distinct bars throughout, each with their own vibe! This makes getting a drink easier and cuts down on the wait, which is very appreciated by all! We spent most of our time overlooking the dance floor. When we wanted a drink, we made our way to the small corner bar. We had a favorite bartender and this was their station for the night! Speaking of drinks, they are a bit pricey, including a water, but with that, they are certainly gay-bar strong! With the size of the place, it can and does get packed, so be prepared. There is enough space, but it gets intimate the later in the evening it gets. Overall, we had a phenomenal time at Round-Up Saloon. The most memorable part, which was amazing to see and feel, was the spirit of everyone just existing and being themselves. Absolutely one of my favorite gay bars I have visited!

And I had to try one of their famous coconut drinks, especially since the character Sue Ellen was a raging alcoholic on the Dallas TV show. I started laughing when I saw the big pink neon sign inside that says "i CAME in Sue Ellen's" that is hung on a wall with leaves that looks like a bush. And the place looks like a lot of fun with 2 floors, pool tables and a gigantic bar inside. There's a terrace outside where patrons can sit and to relax. I didn't try the food. After a couple of drinks at Sue Ellen's, you can always go and check out JR's upstairs.

It's very large being two stories with several rooms including the Rose Room Lounge which could almost be a separate club all by itself where they host all of their drag shows - lots of famous girls from RuPaul's drag race got their start there. There is a large outdoor deck upstairs as well as downstairs. Drinks are super cheap. This place is known as the "afties" bar because they are open until 4 AM though they will still stop serving alcohol at 2 AM The biggest downside is that they tend to charge a cover almost every night, which is pretty annoying, but I guess that's standard for Dallas. Definitely the best place to come dance if you're looking for pop music and some throwbacks

Let me put you on to Double D's Bar in Dallas because this spot surprised me in the BEST way…read more I went during happy hour (5-8pm) and their signature cocktails were only $7, so of course I had two and my friend had two too Every single drink was freshly made and so damn good. Like, you can taste the difference. Whatever the cucumber drink was tasted like springtime in Ireland lol. Now let's talk about the vibe because BABY... from the outside, you would NEVER expect what's inside. You walk in and suddenly you're in a full-on 70s-inspired living room. I mean, the velvet-lined hallway and the beaded doorway *should've* been my warning, but nothing prepares you for it There's tons of seating too: comfy couches, chairs, tables, booths, it really feels like you're just hanging out at somebody's very cool house. They've even have a pool table, and right at 8pm an aggressively competitive Uno game breaks out, which was honestly hilarious to watch. This place is such a vibe. Fun, unique, and just different in the best way. 10/10. I'll definitely be back.

The comfy seats, neon lights and unique drinks make for an immaculate vibe. I got the sugar land summer and I really loved the vanilla foam. Thicker and tastier than any foam I've ever had, I want this again. The orange creamsicle part was a little bitter though. I really enjoyed my sweet surrender and would have ubered here instead to have another - the brown butter Bacardi and pecan was great. They cooked and left no crumbs.
