I had a very upsetting experience here today. My friends and I reserved two tables and were minding our own business when a regular customer--who was clearly intoxicated--approached us and began making racial slurs and passive-aggressive comments. He hovered over the shots we had ordered in a way that made us uncomfortable, as if he intended to interfere with them. Later, while I was closing my tab at the bar, the same individual made three racially charged comments toward me out loud. When I finally approached him to address the behavior, the bartender confronted me as if I were the problem, rather than addressing the person who had been harassing us. This establishment did not feel welcoming or safe for people of color. Our money is accepted the same as anyone else's, yet we were not treated with the same respect. I served my country for six years and fought alongside people of all backgrounds--many of whom I proudly call brothers. I never imagined I would experience this level of disrespect and hurt in a place meant for recreation. Because of how this situation was handled, I cannot recommend this pool hall to others who expect basic decency and fairness read more

Rack Daddy's - Pool Halls Near Me - Dallas, Texas

great environment i went on tuesday for the $2 tacos and they were killer. pool tables we're top notch and staff was super friendly def coming back read more

Rack Daddy's!! Came here a couple of nights again and man did it bring back memories. Ambiance - 3.5/5 - It's divey. They have smaller tables on one side and the larger ones on the other. There were people playing cards as well. Staff - 5/5 - Friendly and nice. We knew the waitress from years ago, so we were able to get pretty good service. You can also go up to the bartender, and it wasn't too busy that night, so we were able to get our drinks quickly. Food/Drink - We didn't order food, and just ordered drinks. The goal was to have a few drinks and play pool, which we did. It's divey. It won't look the greatest, but it is still here after Covid. I am actually impressed with that. If you do not like divey type bars, then this is not the place for you. And I live far away, so I won't be coming back much often, but overall, I enjoyed my night here with my buddies. read more

I play cards here sometimes . I tip well. I'm polite. Today your waitress cut me off and proceeded to go off on me in the parking lot because she thought i pulled in due to her bad driving. Not the case and she shoulda said she was sorry bc she was late for work or something . No need for her to represent you guys so poorly. Been coming in for like 10 years and wont be back. Apparently I was driving "slow as fuck" so you know , just tryna be respectful so close to your bar. She walks in and interrupts my drink order to kiss her boyfriend . In general, disgustingly unprofessional and y'all and she should do better And then she rallied her bar regulars to be rude to me.It's just not okay. I'm out after this . Good luck with people like that. I Highly recommend Billiard Den on arapaho and Custer over this place. They have food at Billiard Den and there is more room and better quality pool tables. PLUS- nice staff. And AHL Poker should consider a new venue this one is unacceptably rude to people. read more

The only clean thing here is the pool tables. Floors and ceilings are disgusting. The bathrooms are even worse. They don't serve any food. There are definitely much cleaner places to play pool! read more

The regulars are rude. The player pokers are even more rude and aren't very welcoming to new players. Been here several times... From one bartender to another, I can say that the staff is attentive...my review is baed on the patrons. Not the actual place. read more

Friends and I came to visit and enjoy the amenities of Rack Daddy's Wednesday and I wasn't disappointed the staff is excellent. The pool tables are in good condition as well. The balls and sticks are in need of some replacements but it's expected when they are used and abused by some customers. The one person who left a everlasting impression was Greg this man is all about the customer and really appreciates the business. He was very kind, courtesy, professional, respectful, and displayed exceptional customer service. Thank you Greg we will back because of you and the way you handle situations. read more

dirty place terrible dart board set up and pool tables are always booked all night. Would not go back.

Love this neighborhood dive bar, love the regulars, love the drinks, love the staff, love it's just down the street and easy to pop in and out. Always entertaining and you can play your jams on the juke box! read more

Used to be here every other Monday if not every monday for the free pool all day. Bar tenders are all so nice polite and friendly. Lots of regulars here so they get a little better service, but that's expected. 4x 9 foot tables are on the right side and around 12x 8.5 ft tables that were just recently re-felted on the left side. League plays on Monday nights so it'll get a little more crowded then, but other than it's relatively quiet. Nothing crazy, no fights, brawls, breaking pool cues, arguments ever here. Quiet players usually doing their own things. Drunk people aren't really an issue here, everyone is mostly polite and like I said a lot of regulars frequent here so they know the atmosphere. Jukebox with good selection of oldies and new alternative. Under 21 not allowed even if you just wanna play pool. Bathrooms might be my only complaint, but hey it's a bar what do you expect. As far as tables go, this place is great, felt is perfect, lighting is good, and enough space between tables to shoot without fear of skewering someone with your stick. Balls are aramiths in decent condition and enough space on sides to sit, keep drinks, and cue cases and stuff. Only other complaint is they don't serve any food. whatsoever. oh well. Lots of TVs with current sports and news too No smoking inside is also nice, but there's a patio outside to smoke at read more

Wanted to love this place, but the service was disappointing. They have quite a few pool tables and a juke box. You can bring your own food and get unlimited game play once you buy $10 in drinks. Drink prices are really good as well. Reason for the low rating? We went Saturday and charged $10.50 (a 4.50 beer and a 6.00 crown shot) worth of drinks to a debit card. We drew zeros in the tip spot as we tipped the bar tender with cash. It showed up as $10.50 all day Sunday on our account. Monday the charge posted for $21. Someone double charged us. We won't go back for that reason alone. If you go to this place DO NOT use a debit card and if you do scribble as hard as possible in the tip spot because someone will find a way to take advantage. In fact if you must go here to play pool pay with cash only because we learned that the numbers will be played with if you use your card. read more

You know what I gotta give Rack Daddy's 5 stars for allowing underaged kids as well as opening late (til 2AM) also friendly staff!

I've been going to Racks once or twice a week for 4 years. If you want to play pool and have inexpensive drinks, it's a great place. Lots of good pool players. On Saturday nights it's more of a date, casual player, crowd. I play league there during the week and bring my wife on Saturday. The clientele is the full spectrum. You will see Mercedes and BMW's in the parking lot, along with beat up F150's. I believe there is a code among pool players: we all like the game, and we don't care where you're from. I've never seen any trouble. It would be nice if they had food, but people routinely order from close by restaurants. The staff is friendly. read more

Decided to try it out with a few buddies and. The over ambiance was decent for a pool hall type of place but there was a waitress/bartender . I think her name as Angie or Allie either way her attitude was pathetic. She was too good to speak to her guest and the drinks we received were garbage. I'd like to go again but only when a real bartender is back there. Seriously margaritas are a texas staple and don't require 3oz of sweet and sour. There are way to many decent bartenders in the city to settle for such mediocrity. Bartending may not be her thing. Perhaps hostess or dish/!door girl . Will be back but not for an emotionless bartender that gives off the feeling of hating her job. Overall cool place. Will def be back to watch some NFL games during season. read more

Good selection of tables, mostly 8 foot with a couple of 9 foot tables and a few quarter tables. Usually running some sort of deals daily, some poker tournaments, APA pool leagues and tournaments. The staff have always been really great to me no matter who's behind the bar. They don't have a kitchen so no food but they allow you to bring food or order and have menus for local places. read more

F YES! $3 sh0ts!?!?!? That's what I'm talking aboot! I had me plenty-O shots-O Crown! This was... I believe cheaper than anywhere else in town for Tuesday night!? I had some big beers to kind of top off the night, but those were big BIG beer mugs full-o Shiner. I-LoVE-SHInER- and I-Lo-V-E C_r-O-W-n To0! (I can TyhpE lyke this becuz I'm AsiAn!) that didn;t type out so well. FyI I didn;t drive home....On the wya home ...the Kack in teh crack has Bomb-axz takos! read more

Just so you know the supposed "Owner" wrote back and what he said was true as far as my boyfriend goes.. now for me to be the one to go out and do messy things. I do not and never have gone to a bar and acted in a unacceptable way to where i was kicked out.. and i have witnessed everything that has gone on in there and know ppl on the staff and the things they do. There is all kinds of fights that go on there on a regular basis. I know for a fact I even know what goes on after the bar closes if you really want to know. So i suggest you really close attention to your business. Also for you to even make that comment that means you dont have a clue about what goes on at your own establishment. read more

The bartender Nikki,, skinny mini or whatever she goes by is incredibly unprofessional and RUDE. She acted like we were not worth her time. I mistakenly asked her opinion on something and said, "I would call that STUPID!" I had 3 drinks 2 of which were Undrinkable the bloody Mary was mildly drinkable. My friends and another waitress saw the mean look Nikki gave us when we walked in. I don't have any idea how this rude person got to be manager. Needless to say we will not be back any time soon. read more

Rack Daddy's is a cool pool hall where you can get some cheap drinks and play some quality 8-ball or 9-ball on nice tables. My brother is in the APA, which is how i heard about the place. They weekly matches are held here and everyone. from insanely good to novice, is friendly and respects each other. They do have 3 dollar whiskey, which includes crown. It's a nice deal for a shot of crown. One thing i found odd was that there is actually no kitchen inside. They do not offer bar food, you're required to bring your own food or order some thing off the menu from local restuarants that deliver. Whenever my friends and i want to shoot some pool, Rack Daddys is where we go. read more

The best bar in the Richardson area. it's one if those places that at 1st glance may seem not your crowd, but within minutes it's like your sitting around people you've known since high school drunk, laughing and hoping the night will never end. The staff here is the best. As far ad the waitresses, whatever type of woman u like they have one working here. Needs more women patrons but all in all great place to be. read more

Rack Daddy's - Blah Blah Blah - Pool Halls Near Me - Dallas, Texas

See all

Saturday nights are free pool for ladies and/or those accompanying ladies! WOOP. It's a typical pool hall - smokey, dirty and loud....but it was still fun! They don't have food but you can bring your own in or have something delivered if you'd like eats with your games. Don't put money in the jukebox...it never plays your song *sad face* I really wanted to hear Uptown Funk.....LOLOL! read more

I went here when a friend was in town. And it was a lot of fun. no smoking on the inside, great drink specials. good set of darts, poker tables and pool tables. Very clean on the inside and the waitress was pleasant and helpful. If you are in that area and looking for a cool place to get a drink and play some games, I would recommend going there. read more

I've been coming to Rack Daddy's since I was about 12 years old so I've grown quite fond of the place. I've seen it go through different owners, managers, waitresses... Ect. And of course it's had its ups and downs, but when it really comes down to it it's a fantastic pool hall with some amazing and unique people, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Now as far as the people claiming that Racks is "Ghetto" I highly disagree. Yes, there are people from all walks of life that come down to have a good time, and of course you're going to have your occasional trouble maker or two that have nothing better to do but stir shit up, but those people aren't the life and soul of racks. And should be dismissed instead of obsessed over. All in all Rack Daddy's is a fantastic, fun environment, and once you get a chance to get to know "everyone" I know you'll fall in love with the place too. read more

Super friendly staff; almost shocking how nice they were. First time here and will be back for sure. Happy it's a non-smoking hall. You can bring food in too which is a bonus. Love it. read more

Pool, darts, ping pong, jukebox and,, of course, the all important beer! This is a non-smoking pool hall just south of SH-190 in Dallas which offers several deals throughout eh week. Friday night was free pool until 10pm to if you want a table, come early, there's always a waiting list. I usually just go in and take advantage for the good beer prices. They also have a free buffet from 7pm on Friday until everything is gone, so if you come in at 8, you're probably too late. This is nice because they don't actually have food here, but if you want to eat they have menus for local restaurants that'll deliver. There is smoking on the patio area for those addicted to nicotine. Overall, good service, good drink specials and happy hours, just don't be expecting to walk in a grab a pool table if you come in too late. read more

Came here for a post work event. GM/owner offered free pizza and the alternative rock playlist kept it chill with great hits from the 90s. Good tables and friendly service. Can't complain. read more

Mike, we miss you! we are the trouble makers that went like 5 times in a row. We love your vegas bombs, Guinness beer, and pool table number 1. this is an amazing place where you can have fun all night, you will also make tons of friends and be told "welcome home" by your favorite bartender. overall 10 of 10 should visit if you can. xoxo read more

Michael the gm and all the staff are super awesome and friendly, plenty of pool tables for all! I love the random shot specials they call out! read more

I understand this is a great place to have meetings parties and hang out with great friends.

They have great prices through the week. Beer, hard liquor, pool and good service. When I go is for the sunday or thursday night games. They have plenty of parking space. They let you order pizza from other places as long as you keep buying drinks or playing pool. read more

Mixed music, mixed crowd, plenty of tables and free for ladies and guests on Saturday! I didn't eat anything but the staff was very friendly. It's a good chill spot. read more

Brandon the man at the door looks very assuming but is the nicest man. Michael, the owner is very friendly and actually walks around and talks to ppl. They have $4 shot specials and the servers walk around and offer jello shots. The only downside is they don't have a working kitchen, so you either bring it with you or order out. read more

This place is clean and it smells clean. We went here because my family wanted to play some pool. I just wanted a drink. We were having an ok time. However a fight started, and the regulars "thugs" jump on a group of Hispanics. The whole bar was going crazy. There are some weird people in there. The drinks are mediocre, stay away from this ghetto place. I thought it was safe because it's in Richardson. Oh one of the guys had a knife when they were fighting. read more

Tables were great. New felt and good rails. The bartender Andy was EXTREMELY RUDE. Very slow service and disrespectful responses to orders. We are APA members and have never had such poor service. Her attitude ruined our night. We will never be back because of the slow and disrespectful service. read more

What a nice place ! Great service and just a pleasant all around vibe. You can smoke outside which was nice. My date and I were so busy talking we never got around to playing pool but thats ok - next time !!! We shall be back !!! Yes Tuesday nights is 3 dollar whiskey shots too. I can`t say enough about the staff ALL of the staff. They were all very nice !! We will be back !!! read more

Great place to have a drink and play pool . Nice, clean class place. The bar guy Chris is handsome.

In my opinion one of the best pool halls is north Dallas. Great bartender-Alexa- and fun crowd. Easy to get involved with the leagues which play Sunday (hard to get a table- during that time if u r not playing league), lots of specials and cold beer- reasonable price! One downside- no food. read more

I love this place! We have been going to Racks for years and they get better and better with age. The staff is always friendly and they have great drink prices. Tuesday's is $1.75 bottles, who can beat that. The music is always a wide mix of stuff and you can order or bring in food if you want. You don't see that very often anymore. The bartenders are always fast and friendly. The cocktail waitress really get to know you not just your card. I wouldn't trade this bar for anything. read more
