Loved this place! Reminded me of Rainbow Cattle Company in Austin, but way more men than women. But everyone got along nicely and danced harmoniously. 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! read more

Round-Up Saloon - Dance floor - Gay Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Round-Up Saloon has been on my list for years and on a recent visit to Dallas, a few friends finally made it happen! 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! read more

Ther staff here is always AMAZING!!! We have become regulars and they always remember us and what we like to drink. The dancing is great with one of the larger dance floors on the Strip. On Friday and Saturday, it's usually Country music until about midnight, then changes to dance music. They have great specials all week and have free dance lessons every evening Monday through Thursday, with everything from beginner to advanced partner and line dancing (Mon & Tue - Partner Dancing; Wed & Thurs - Line Dancing). And the shows, like 5 nights a week, always have high-talent performers. The troupe "The Saloon Girls" are all amazing. read more

Round-Up Saloon - Enjoying a night at our favorite watering hole. - Gay Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Absolutely love round up, the best time. BUT tell me why the bartender with the cowboy hat and beard is so damn rude. High ego and probably single, but hey you do you boo :) read more

I've been here numerous times in the past and never had any issues until this past Saturday evening 8/02/25. My friends and I headed over to the RoundUp around 9 PM to hang out a bit. It was early and not busy at all. The dance floor was completely empty. My friend & I mustered up the courage to get on the dance floor and have some fun. We weren't on the dance floor for even 5 minutes and soon thereafter other couples joined my friend & I on the dance floor. I was thankful for that because it takes a lot of courage to be the first on the dance floor. A few minutes into dancing, a staff member approached my friend & I and asked we get off the dance floor as we were not a couple and not "connected" stating we needed to respect the RoundUps culture. I've never, and I mean ever been asked to get off the dance floor at any bar or club. Now don't get me wrong, I know bars have theme nights, etc which I totally understand and respect. But the way the bar staff approached us was wrong. I was most upset about him telling us we needed to respect their culture. First of all honey, I'm gay and in a gay bar!! This IS MY PLACE! And secondly, there was absolutely NO SIGNAGE anywhere that indicated only a certain kind of dancing was allowed on the dance floor!! It was a terrible experience and put a very poor taste in my mouth! I never had an issue with RoundUp until that night!! Don't ever want to support them or be back! read more

Round-Up Saloon - Gay Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Friendly party-goers, but absolutely crazy I have to pay $3.50 for an extra water. Even for an ice water. Sues and S4 never gave me that problem. read more

I went to the Round-up Saloon for the first time while I'm visiting from a different state. I loved the line dancing lessons, it was great fun! However, after two hours of dancing, I asked the bar for water, which I had to purchase for $3.50! My friends and I decided to leave very shortly after that but we were stopped at the door from leaving the establishment with the same, almost full, water bottles I just purchased from the bar. Instead of wasting my money, we stopped to down the water, which in turn made me sick on the car ride home. These were non-alcoholic, plastic bottles that were purchased inside the establishment so I do not understand why I couldn't leave with them, let alone that I had to purchase water at an establishment that offers dancing lessons in the first place, water (at the very least) should be provided for free. read more

A hootin' and hollerin' good time! I took my mom here (her first gay bar) and she was delighted by the graceful cowboys twirling on the dance floor and the boisterous crowd singing karaoke. Word to the wise: purses have to be VERY small in order to bring them in. read more

Went here last night for Halloween. I get it's a busy night. Some girl was waiting at the bar near me longer than I had been, so at least more than 15 minutes. Her friend came over to try to help her get noticed, and simply waved at one of the bartenders, not aggressively at all. The bartender, a bald white man in blue plaid, took a solid minute out of his shift to yell at the girls very rudely. I watched as the girls stood there stunned, not even responding back, as he is blowing up in their face for "waving". I get that it's a busy night but if you can't handle something like this without being disrespectful to your paying customers, maybe get a different job. Really, we watched him take a whole minute out of his shift to blow up on some young girls without good reason. When all he had to say was "I see you, I'm busy right now give me a sec and I'll be there". Insane behavior. read more

2 stars because the manager and the second Bartender had good customer service. I first ordered a margarita and it didn't taste right, I expressed that to the bartender and he told me this ain't basking robins in a rude tone lol. Alrighty then, no customer service. I went to a second bartender and the manager, and they were so nice to remake my drink and it tasted like a margarita. Moral of the story, not all the bartenders have good customer service. read more

Usually have the best time but tonight while visiting DFW - the bartender to the right of the dance floor - all the way at the end closest to the front of the building tonight, was so rude to me and my husband....fr fr - i want to thank the other bartender 4 being so nice. What happened: I asked him " Do you have flavored Red Bulls, cuz i would like a vodka redbull" - he said "do I need to f'in order ur drink for you sweetheart", and then when I said - "well no u could just do ur job and answer my question", he poured me nothing but redbull in my cup and charged me for it like it had vodka in it (being the middle class gorl i am - i gave her my card) Then blew him a kiss and gave him a wink. He then said "make sure to leave me a zero tip" - and tbh ngl atp I saidd....gorl f u - u really think whatever ur finna charge me is gonna break my bank - that's why i left the drink after paying for it - and did write a zero for ur tip cuz you are one. Let me see a crazy a$$ charge on my card - I'll be up there real quick for my coin. Yall really need to check the attitudes of your employees. TMC across the street has better customer service - nicer bartenders - and they actually tell you what products they have for sale without all the extra bs and drama. Maybe he had a bad night - but that's really is not my problem. read more

Best/safest feeling spot in Dallas to go out to! The surrounding area has a lot of bars, but this is by far the coolest/most fun one. Love the dancefloor, the disco ball is so fun. They have good drinks, bartenders work fast and are nice. I would definitely come back when I am back in town! read more

Fun place to vibe with friends and dance. Just beware of a few bartenders who can be racist and rude which was a bit unexpected since it is a gay bar. Would give it a 4 or 5 star but the 2 bartenders that were there made the experience a little less enjoyable. read more

We had SO much fun here! We ate at streets fine chicken and headed over here to play billiards.... It was super slow and I was concerned it may be too slow of a vibe. Thankfully that changed quickly! After three rounds of pool, we headed over to the bar area by the entrance and they were doing karaoke. I was so excited because I love karaoke and of course in the gayborhood you have the best company ever since it's just a really great, fun vibe for everyone. The singers were incredible. Honestly you would have thought it was some audition for americas got talent or something with how good everyone was! I wish there was an area like this closer to where I live (I'm a little over an hour away) bc it would be so fun to go daydrinking and hang out all day. read more

Used to love this place, great vibe always had a good time. Now they charge for WATER. Our DD tried to order a water and was told they only offer bottle water which you have to pay for. Absolutely ridiculous. They sell so much liquor but won't even give someone a free ice water to make sure they get everyone home safely. Crazy read more

Great bar ! Visited here while on vacation. Country music was played up until about midnight, as everyone line danced:) Then top 100 music for the rest of the night, ranging from reggaeton/ rap/hip hop/pop. Bartender cowboy Mario was on point with his service. Definitely a must visit in the gayborhood of Oaklawn. read more

Its fun to be at a bar, where one can start dancing as a group ;) That's exactly what happened at this place while we were visiting with some friends back in 2016! Our friends moved to Texas so we decided to visit them. One evening we decided for bar hopping. Started drinking at one bar then went to this place - 'Round-Up Saloon' This is how old styles saloons look like. Lots of place to dance around with drinks served through out the bar. We ordered couple of drinks then decided to dance. But then all of sudden everyone decided to follow certain set of steps and we all started to follow their lead. And within couple of minutes it seemed like we were performing as a group. It was fun since it was impromptu with no rehearsals whatsoever. Amazing place. Would love to visit again soon! :) read more

I hate to give a bad review to any business from the community. however, sometimes, I think is just right. I have guests visiting from San Francisco and London, Friday night, they decide to go to the roundup . the friend from London heard so much about that place, and he was so looking forward to see it. they arrived to the bar at 9PM, the big clown on the door, big guy, bearded, may think he work for the FBI or something, but, he asked for IDs , and I am totally ok with that , its should be that way for our own safety. my friend from SF show him the ID, my sec friend from Dallas had an ID, my friend from London, sadly have a Pic of his passport, common, who want to cary a passport to a bar? in case he loose it and he will not be able to travel, so he toke a pic of it. the "super" security ( who I saw him before making out with guys in the front door ( and that is safety ) did not agree to let him in, now, my friend is not a 20 years old, he is 56, meaning, if its an age issue, come on, he is a. silver hair man, if its a policy , ok, I get its but he have a phot ID on his phone, what is the issue ? he is visiting from the UK, come one , use a common sense . this is not right. we go there very often, and we like the place. I just think if you hire someone to be in the door. maybe make sure he got a better attitude and common sense . been a big man, don't make you a good security guy. very disappointed read more

atmosphere was great, guests were very friendly to one another, music was good. the crowd here is predominantly male but women aren't discouraged against coming. i didn't get a drink here so im unsure of the pricing or strength of them. i however did have an extremely upsetting interaction with a security officer. i work security myself and have found that you CAN be nice and also have that job. the tall white male in a button up, cowboy hat and mustache was bothered at where i was standing to make sure my intoxicated friend made it out of the bathroom safely. he approached me so closely and aggressively i could smell what he had for breakfast on his breath. he was in my face screaming and yelling about moving or id be kicked out, all i did was ask that he didn't yell at me and be nicer. he kept pushing me and another guard in a cowboy hat and vest came up and joined in on screaming at me. i got out of the area he had just yelled at me for and moved closer to the bathroom, when he circled around and started yelling again. it was actually so bad a group of girls had to grab me and hold me in the bathroom doorway to get away from him. i'm not from dallas, i had never been to this bar before, i don't go out like this, i just think the guards maybe need to have some de-escalation training. i don't see how talking to anyone the way i was solves anything, it was hostile for absolutely no reason. i understand working around drunk/fked up people can be frustrating and it can get to the point where that kind of behavior is necessary, this was not that kind of situation. read more

I walked out. Sat at a bar with 14 other customers most of who had drinks. The bartender walked by me at least a dozen times. Didn't look at me or acknowledge me. After minutes I left. Apparently, the money is pouring in so much that they don't have to be attentive to their customers. Visiting from out of town. It's a crap representation of the hospitality Texans tout. read more

Their door-men are illiterate as fuck. Had a friend present 3 forms of id. And the hollow brained no mask wearing back door gorilla said they require a "physical" ID. Maybe they should grab a dictionary and change their vocabulary because it really felt more like discrimination rather policy. Will not return to that monkey pox pit. read more

Always love going here with my friends. Such a good vibe but giving 3 stars instead of 5 because of a rude bartender. Not sure how he landed this job cause you would think you'd receive good energy here but not from this guy. (photo attached) Much love for this place but this guy is not a fit. Maybe he was having a bad night or maybe he's just rude but either way - when I wait in line for 10+ minutes, and see him scan the bar asking if anyone needs a drink while I stand there and motion I need one, I kid you not, this man looked me in my eyes and said "I see you" sarcastically and smile and look away instead of taking my order. Before that, we were in the middle of the computers between him and another bartender and according to him it was out of his way to take an order from anyone in the middle so you were forced to squeeze in front of his computer cause I guess taking 2 steps over to hear someone's order was too much to ask. Super odd. From working in the hospitality industry I understand the asshole customers, but I'm not one of them and he chose to treat me like I was an inconvenience. Love you Round Up, but that that guy needs a reality check. read more

Round-Up Saloon - a bartender pouring a drink - Gay Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Had been looking forward to this place for my birthday for a whole week as I was coming from another state with my best friend . Her and I were having a blast first couple of hours bartenders , drag queens, and music was on point . That is UNTIL JOE arrived and would become our new bartender. From the second he got there his whole vibe was negative in an off putting way. I had been paying the same amount for 1 corona and mixed drink the whole night and once he took my order he wanted to charge me over $20. I told him I wasn't going to be paying that much and he proceeded to tell me "well then you shouldn't be here." Ripped the ticket in my face and told the security to "Get them out of here" while security aggressively grabbed me and my friend mind you us being females in our mid 20s and waaay smaller than them I asked the African American bouncer "why are you pushing us out ?" and he responded "idk but you Fucked up with joe so you gotta go" I tried to explain to him what happened and he pushed me even harder and once I was almost out the front door he Then MACED my friend and I and slammed the door shut in our face. If anyone wants to have a great time i advise you PLEASE take your money to Mr. Misster you won't regret it. I was treated like an actual human being there and will definitely be back. ***this all occurred the night of Feb 7th anywhere from 7 to 9pm can't really recall the exact time but check the cameras if you'd*** read more

Round-Up Saloon - Word of advice. Better customer service training for their employees. He gave off strong high school mean girl vibes. Thanks a lot Joe. - Gay Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Overall, Round-Up is a lot of fun. A nice, Texas themed gay bar in the heart of the Cedar Springs strip. First off, compared to just about anything else in Cedar Springs, the place is huge! I counted 7 bars between inside and outside. So there's never much of a wait to get a drink (although I've never seen all 7 open at once). They have a big dance floor in the middle, a ground level patio out back and a rooftop patio which is great for aviation geeks like me to watch planes taking off from Love Field. The staff is always pretty cool. They pour a good drink and are no more or less expensive than anywhere else on the strip. It's worth keeping an eye on their events, too. They're also the starting point for the monthly Cedar Springs wine walk, which is a blast. Definitely a staple of this neighborhood. read more

I have lived in Dallas for 6 years and never had a bad experience at Round up. It's welcoming to everyone and their sexuality. I don't have anything bad to say But if you read the reviews someone then aren't as positive either with employee issues(Karen's not getting their way because they aren't getting special treatment- It's a BAR and a Gay bar at that) read more

I recently was in Dallas and went to the Round-Up. I have friends that live in Dallas and I visit there quite often. I don't often write bad reviews about businesses, but I was so angry about my experience that I just had to let people and the business know. Me, my partner and some friends went to have a quick bite to eat at Hunky's down the street (I ordered a slice of cake to take home) and afterwards, we thought we would go back to the roundup to have one last drink. As we were walking in my friends reminded us that we had to show our ID and before we could even pull them out the guy checking IDs said you can bring that in here you will have to eat it before you come in. First of all his attitude was UNACCEPTABLE! Second it was a very small bag that was stapled shut and lastly I hadn't even showed it to him! My friends were also a bit shocked and I felt as though it may have been a racial thing, because I was the only African American in my group. I would like to think that wasn't the case, but that was my gut feeling at the time. The round up has plenty of signage out side that says what you can and can not bring in, but nothings about a very small bag (or cake). I am sharing this experience because I feel people should know. I am also sharing it on other platforms (Facebook, Twitter etc.) here are some pictures of the signage displayed at the Round Up. read more

While we love and respect this place and their goals, I keep seeing bar tendets wearing "chin" masks. Look, that does not count. At least your employees can do better. Wear Your Mask. Even though it is very difficult to control the crowd, your paid employees should follow all guidelines. This is what brings us back at our own risk. Please do better and don't fall to Capitolism pressure. Dead people don't pay thier tabs or your bills. During the Circus show, No drinks on the floor. I will not take a picture now. Please do right thats why we vote. read more

It had been years since I've been to the Round Up until this past Tuesday. My friends and I went in around 10pm. It wasn't crowded at all, but hell it was a Tuesday! I forgot how big this place is. We hung out in the karaoke room for a bit. It's just a small room with a stage, and a bar that takes up a good portion of the middle of the room. I never realized how pretty that room is. They have black old fashioned looking tiles on the ceiling, and beautiful stained glass wall hangings, and really pretty light fixtures hanging above the bar. There's a huge dance floor in another room with plenty room around that to stand around and watch the people dancing. They were doing some sort of line dancing tutorial when we were there. I think I remember seeing a pool table room and maybe an upstairs area. ? I'd been drinking some! hehe There's an outdoor patio that's pretty cool if you like cigarette smoke. Ugh. I noticed some windows that opened up to the bar inside so that's neat if you don't want to go back inside while you're on the patio. And the patio definitely had an upstairs area. If you're in to country music, pop music, karaoke or a good time...this is a good spot! read more

I came in on a Monday evening as I was traveling cross country and had an evening to spend in Dallas. This evening they had a drag queen doing a strip-tease competition and afterwards they had opened the floor for line dancing and swing as a country bar. They also had karaoke as they apparently have nightly at the front bar. The atmosphere here was very accepting and there was so much fun to be had on the dance floor with a small crowd (expected for a Monday late evening). Looking forward to the next time I can visit. read more
