I used to go there for G Spot Bingo during the mid 80s. I won a soaker hose. Great selection of beers. Tried them all, got the shirt.

Asked the Texan bartender for an espresso martini and he poured me Fire & Ice shots. Hell of a guy. 10/10 will recommend

To watch any game, yes. No ice tea or coffee here. Need it for the 11am games. I was surprised stand has neither.

Stan's is a great place to bring your football watch crew for the big college game if you want to be in the middle of the action. It's pure sports bar ambiance, and it gets loud and crowded on big game days. Get here early to snag a table! There are three indoor bar areas, a large open front patio and an enclosed back patio. The main drink here is beer, including pitchers. There are limited choices of hard seltzer, cider and wine available. They have appetizers, burgers and other bar food but I have never had any of their food because I have Celiac Disease. There is a free parking lot around the corner from the bar but it fills up quickly. Street parking is available on the streets around the bar. Women's bathroom is a bit grungy but there is always toilet paper, soap and paper towels. When there is a big game, it can get very crowded and you will need to push your way to the bar to get your drinks. They also add an automatic 20% gratuity to your tab. The smoke can get pretty thick on the back patio. read more

This place is a shell of its former self. Sundays you used to be wall to wall with people watching football, last time there were maybe 5 people there. Bought two beers and they had the nerve to add the gratuity? I was going to tip more but since they already picked my pocket without asking I let them keep the lousy tip they gave themselves. Was going to buy food but the prices were delusional. This is a dying star that lost its shine years ago. read more

Tuesday burger day is the best day! $3.99 burger (4.99 for cheeseburger) with the purchase of a drink! When I tell you I dream about this burger... it is so good. The quality is just wow. It comes out super fast, laidback vibes (think dead bar besides regulars) but honestly come with some friends & make it a thing and it gets to be super fun!! The one girl who works is kinda forgetful and absent minded, but she recognizes that and tries really hard. I will say the auto gratuity kinda sucks, especially When the bill is around $10, but it's whatever I guess! read more

Stan's is the tits. Great daily specials on food and drinks. Great burgers, fantastic spot to watch any game. They have darts, pool, shuffleboard, video games. You name it. Great bartenders. Friendly staff. Fair priced food and drinks. Tuesday is $4.99 burgers all day. Great ambiance inside. It's like an old bar that you want to be your new local watering hole. Packed on Saturdays for college football. Great place to have a fantasy draft. Stan's always hits the spot. read more

Tuesday is burger night. Friendly neighborhood dive bar with a variety of beers on tap (although the bartender can't tell you what they are). Full bar. Burgers are good. Service is lackadaisical at best. read more

I ordered chicken tenders covered in Buffalo sauce. I had to wait 45 minutes for COLD TENDERS AND FRIES. I went back up to the bar to see where my order was and it had been sitting behind the bar for 30 minutes. Everything was so cold. I still ate it all because I was hungry but straight garbage. My friend who ordered with me had his delivered to the table but they didn't deliver mine. I typically like this place but this was trash. read more

Stan's is always a great place to watch a game! You can't beat the $1 taco deal. We'll definitely be back soon!

Cool bar with a good atmosphere. Nothing special about the drinks. Stay away from the karaoke DJ!!!!

They offer TouchTunes to play your music, you have to pay to play a song and if the bartender doesn't like it they just skip it. You pay extra for a premium song which can't be skipped by other TouchTunes user, only staff. So they take your money to "play your music" and the just play their music anyways. Annoying to say the least... read more

In the absolutely landmark for the community.Always great price drinks.Nobody is ever not welcome. Perfectly place if you wanna celebrate the best night of your life or drown sorrows on your worst. read more

Place has touch tunes but if they don't like your song they skip it. Not fair to paying customers.

Got there early for the AFC Divisional game and the waitress wasn't in yet. The bartender did a great job covering... Bartender's service was fast and she was super nice! Food was great! My wife and I are keto so we wanted the meatball sandwich minus the sandwich. They were able to accommodate and put the meatballs in a bowl - they were awesome! Atmosphere was super fun - had stuff to giveaway, game was loud enough to hear but not overly loud. Loved it. Waitress came in and that's the only thing I was disappointed with. I went to the bar to order a drink and she stopped me and said she'd get my drink. It never came. I went back up to the bar to order my drink and asked the waitress again for my drink and to close out. 10 min later - nothing. And to be fair, it was busy but every time I looked back to see what was going on, she was just hanging by the bar. Other than that, it was great and I'd definitely go back and order from the bar! ;) read more

place stinks. if you play a song on touch tunes and they don't like it they WILL skip. not fair to paying customers.

A great place to watch football or hang out! Typical dive bar, very laidback and fun. Caters to both the young and old! I'll definitely be back! Also seems like a great place to have a birthday or celebration- lots of seating for big groups! They also played some BOPS, my drunk friends and I were having a blast and we stayed until close! read more

This place may be deemed The Dallas Sports Bar, but outside the TVs seemed more like a college hotspot to me. Definitely greater than 50% occupancy during a Stars game. Masks seemed recommended coming in the door and are very much gone as soon as you get a seat and start standing and watching. Seats are close by and tons of people standing shoulder to shoulder. Uncomfortable during the crisis. Beer list is about 40 but expect no true craft beer. There are enough IPA and cider and of course liquor to appease everyone though. Indoor and outdoor areas. Seems like dogs allowed so that's a plus. I guess in the past this place is exactly what you wanted from a college bar. But times have changed and not sure they got the memo. Buyer beware if you come at a prime time or during a game. read more

Came here to watch Thursday Night Football, it was the opener of the Stars season so they didn't feature the game but were kind enough to put it on for us. Staff were incredibly friendly, classic beer and good food you can expect from a dive bar. Recommend the fried pickles and mini corn dogs. read more

If you do go there and use a credit card for your tab, be careful. They have the audacity to now add in 20% gratuity automatically and the normal 'tip' line now says 'additional tip'. My friend caught this as I was not paying attention. I was filling the 'tip' line out as i normally do - not realizing I was tipping 20% on an amount that already had a 20% tip baked into it. Total crap! They have a very high opinion of themselves! read more

Stan's Blue Note - Auto Grat @ 20% - total crap - Sports Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Good food, drink and atmosphere. Great place to watch sporting events, here to watch the UEFA Euro Final (delayed to COVID). We had the spaghetti and meatballs, pepper jack burger and mini-corn dogs and all were perfect. Dozens of beers on tap read more

Every time I play Sticky by Drake they skip the song. I pay to play it and they won't refund me. It's been 3 times tonight. Ridiculous

Pretty solid place, good drink selection and what looks like a tasty menu (we didn't eat) I thought this was one of the friendliest staffs I've been served by especially since it has a big time locals vibe. Would of been 5 stars if there was more available parking in the area. read more

Chill atmosphere laid back vibes. Cool bartenders high recommend this place if you want to get out an have a relaxing time.

Food: 2 Decor: 2 Service: 2 I came here on a UYE to watch the Dallas Mavs play. The place was packed, but we had a table reserved. Service was slow, and I had to walk myself over to the bar to request food. The food itself was pretty average bar food http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/Yl9EeG6-yY2XkmFF_WX09w?userid=2fN8mN7uUjOw-QqtcgYqXQ (chicken finger BLT), so don't get your hopes up. There's also no parking nearby, so I had to park in the residential area a couple blocks away and walk over. read more

Stan's Blue Note - Chicken BLT - Sports Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place is awesome. It's a go-to place for Dallas locals and will continue to come here. However, the wait staff/bartenders are unbelievable. I continue to be disrespected after coming here time and time again. Please and thank you doesn't even get you anywhere. The place has great vibes, but you will be let down waiting for drinks or food time and time again. Wish it was better because the place is great, but I expect the best. Be better Stan's. @blonde bartender do better. read more

After going to stans for over 25 years, for the 1st time, i find myself very disappointed. went during happy hour for the food specials to keep this short, there was a small discrepancy on the bill, price not matching the menu, or the price the waitress told me before ordering. the money wasn't a big deal, but out of principle, i just wanted an explanation - e.g. was the menu out of date and peices went up, or was something keyed in wrong, etc. i attempted to asked the waitress about it after the bill came, but it seems that's not acceptable behavior for a stans customer. my complaint here isn't about the smell price discrepancy, its about the the employees attitude. in short, the waitress gave me 2 options : a) pay it and don't question a price discrepancy, or b) she (the waitress) will cover the entire tab and charge me $0, and i no longer welcome there, and should never return. no one else there seemed to give a hoot, seemed they all preferred i never return. i paid, and tipped, on the full (incorrectly high) amount because as a 25 year customer, i wasn't quite ready, though seriously tempted, to give up on my old stomping grounds, though still not sure I'm welcome back. all i can say to others is go for the drinks, not the food. if you want food, don't pay much attention to the listed menu prices, or ask the waitress pricing, just expect to pay whatever they say it rings up as... stans has never been known for their service, or food - it's always been a bit of a dive bar, by design, and that's actually it's "charm". so i kind of blame myself for for turning my recent visits into a food place, and expecting a service level and 'give a hoot' level on par with closer to a restaurant rather than a bar... read more

The staff here is soooo nice! I go here sometimes with my dog and they always bring her a bowl of water and treats. The food is really good and they always have great drink specials. read more

On Saturdays my rugby team thoroughly enjoys coming to Stan's for our post game drinks and food. I love the cheese fries personally. They've come a long way with the menu and the quality of their food in the past couple of years! read more

Stan's Blue Note - Sports Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Stan's is a fun, lively, casual spot in a great neighborhood to watch college football (or any sport). They have TONS of TVs, 2 huge bars, and 3 rooms with lots of seating inside. You can pretty much count on whichever game you want to watch being played, which is why I've been coming here for so long. However, I was very disappointed and shocked yesterday when a bartender changed the channel on the only TV in the entire bar broadcasting a Pac12 game, to a game that was being broadcasted on 4 other TVs - in the same room - with 2 minutes left to go in the Pac12 game. This was the game I came here to watch and had watched for the past 3.5 hours with my friends. I asked 3 different bartenders and the security guy to help me get it changed back and no one was helpful. In fact they were all incredibly rude and said they couldn't help me. I left the bar in tears and I didn't get to see my team finish our most important game of the season. I fully understand this is Texas and 90% of customers here are there to watch Texas/SEC games, but since they have so many TVs, why not broadcast every network? Put the big games on the big TVs, smaller games on the smaller TVs, and definitely don't change any games with 2 minutes left for no good reason. That should be against the law (of dive bars). read more

This bar has so much potential but unfortunately it has an abandoned feel to it. The food is subpar and a lot of their beer are unavailable. If you're concerned about COVID, don't even step foot in here. They don't sanitize tables, and while the employees do wear their masks, there are people walking around with their masks off and the staff doesn't reinforce for the public to wear theirs. Only reason I'm giving them 2 stars is because the bartenders are very nice and literally doing 3 jobs in one (bartending, taking food orders and taking them to tables) kudos to them for stepping up to the plate while being short staffed (which is what it felt like). read more

This place is great! We came in after a long day at work and discovered probably one of the coolest, most attentive, & most personable bartenders we've had in a while. He introduced himself as Ron & offered us menus so that we could order something to eat. He took the time to explain his recommendations & also explained the happy hour specials. Give this place a shot & you'll be glad that you did. read more

Stan's Blue Note - Sports Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Stan's is still a favorite place of mine to watch football. We always try to sit at the same table, and I always order the mini corn dogs. Sometimes they need to be cooked a little longer, but they are usually good. Service is still pretty spot on! Stan's is just a good dive that always feels like home away from home since I've been going there for so many years. Not often enough to be a regular or even know who any of the weight staff are. Too bad about the Cowboys this year...I didn't get out to watch many games since I didn't want to be seen crying in public. read more

I just moved to the "M" streets and I have been looking for a good watering hole. I walked with my husband to Stan's hoping for a low key, d-bag and SMUtard free place. This is not it. It was full of popped collars and obviously underage girls drinking. This must be the place for college students to drink with out getting carded. Not my scene, ever. Also, it took 30 minutes for the waiter to bring us a beer. read more

Stan's Blue Note - Froed pickle chips. Breading is very good, but I can barley taste the pickle. Maybe I'm just picky. - Sports Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great dive. Try their spaghetti and meatballs on Monday. Certainly helps that it is just down the road from our house

I have been going to Stans almost every week since moving to Texas three years ago. It's a classic dive bar with the essentials (food, great beer list, pool table, etc.). The food is seriously AMAZING--the Jimmy's Italian sandwich, burger, quesadilla and mozzarella sticks are among my favorites. The bartenders are so friendly, there's karaoke on Thursdays, and this is a great place to watch football. Can't recommend enough and will continue to come back! read more

Jessica is the absolute best! For the moment I ordered my first drink she was on the lookout for me all night. If I needed a refill, some food, or a little motivation to stay (aka more beer) she was always making sure I had a a fantastic night. Great example of what makes Stan's great. read more

Hadnt been here in about 5 years. Walked in with a buddy during the day on Saturday to have a few beers. Place was filled with college football fans. Sat at the bar and had the tequila queso (delicious) and the bacon burger (phenomenal). We kicked a few back and had such a good time we stayed longer than we intended. The guy who was running the place Miles was a nice guy and always on point. I will be coming back especially when they play Stars games here. Food is really good here. Parking is kinda tricky. There is parking in the back but you have to walk a little bit but it's all good. The place is totally worth it. read more

What can I say about Stan's that hasn't been said before? Nothing... so I'll say it in Chinese: ME RIKEY A-ROT! To give you an idea, this was one of the first actual bars I visited on my Dallas Tour and I was pleasantly pleased with my experience. I really liked the spacious atmosphere... but what really got me was the nice elderly woman who was my bartender... She looked like any white person's grandmother serving beer to her grandchildren. I will call her "Sue." Now, I'm really not trying to be a dick or sarcastic because coming from L.A., I'm use to these high priced ho's, heffers, hee-haws, and hooleehoos as my bartenders. But Stan's keeps it real... real-ly pleasant and friendly. In short... "Sue" was a cool ass bitch. Things to Like: - Shuffle board (pay to play, $2 an hour) - Darts (regular or butt edition) -Fooz-Ball - Arcade games (golfing, hunting, bowling, naked photo hunt) - Big ass giant screens to make your head explode and pants wet from excitement while watching the Dallas Mavericks choke in the playoffs (again). - Great selection of Beers served in Mason Jars... "Sue" told me there was about 1 gagillion beers on tap. - Alcohol is cheap... like low class hookers. - "Sue" the elderly grandmother who knows how to pour me some shots of tequila. - Old school cigarette vending machines where I use to get my smokes from when I was 8 (remember, California banned these vending machines when we became a bunch of liberal tree hugging hippies). - Big patio to get your smoke and drink on. Why not 5 Stars since I listed a bunch of AWESOMENESS?! I know this is a bar... but I hope one day Stan will invest in a mop, a broom, and Costco sized Comet. read more
