Very welcoming place open to everyone Mindy, Mary and Cori really make you feel like you belong. I love the Friday and wine walk DJs really kept you moving. read more

For a visitor in Dallas like myself that's a fan of the old "Dallas" TV show, it's just fun to be able to visit a bar that's called "Sue Ellen's"... 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. read more

Sue Ellen's - Fun decor. - Gay Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I absolutely loved it here!! I live in Houston and frequent another lesbian bar and I feel like the music at Sue Ellen's is better. The dance floor is smaller though because it's a sectioned off area apart from the rest of the space. There are two floors and multiple bars. There's also a balcony area with some outdoor seating and a giant jenga with Jagermeister facts on it. There are also some photo booths and pool tables. I will definitely try to come here every time I visit Dallas. Loved it! read more

My wife stopped in here because she had never really been in a true lesbian bar. She was a little nervous as she is married to a woman but never really identified as a lesbian. First thing we noticed was that it's a really chill and light hearted place. Gay and lesbian bars can be fairly "pick up" oriented but I didn't get that vibe here. I'm sure it's there but it's not all up in your face. Trust me, I've been in fifty or so lesbian bars all over the world and some are rather unattractivly in your face about sex being the bottom line. This bar had a friendly atmosphere that I really enjoyed. The kind of place you could bring a girl and play board games etc. the service was fast and efficient and the drinks were very reasonably priced. My wife found a very attractive woman to take to and they even traded numbers. It was a huge turn on for to watch her flirting with another woman. We enjoyed our evening and only racked up an eighty dollar bill. I wish this bar or one like it was in Denver. We had Blush and Blue but it closed. Soooo sad. read more

Sue Ellen's? Why not! There's a diverse crowed but relatively young. Service was great. The bar was clean for the most part. The music? A woman dj? That was amazing. I didn't get any food but I did not see an option for food. read more

It was a really good time definitely a lesbian bar which I loved!! The music was really good not too much house mostly hip hop and rnb mixes... which i like. The dance floor is kinda small but there is a up and down stairs... there was like a balcony where you could look down at the dance floor from the top level. The drinks were poured well and there had my favorite coconut 1800 which is sometimes hard to come by. The bartenders were really nice but also really busy so I didn't get the opportunity to chitchat with them... but over all we had a really good time! read more

My friends and I came to visit the gayborhood in Dallas. This is a pretty big place! A lot of room to roam around, people watch, and/or dance. It has an upstairs, karaoke, and outside patio. The bartenders made some pretty stiff drinks for us at decent prices. They also have popcorn! There is an admission fee, but I think it might depend on what time you go. We will definitely visit again with the rest of our friends! read more

What a fun, safe space to celebrate and party at! Loved our visit!! Planning to go back again in the future for sure!

Bar tender closed out my tab way before closing time cause she "wasn't feeling well" so I was charged $40 for 3 canned seltzers completely embarrassing and scummy behavior especially coming from the "only lesbian bar in Dallas" never coming here again. read more

This place was fun and always a good time. Drinks were pretty good. I love the decorations and how there is 2 floors that play different music. The karaoke was so fun! Place definitely gets crowded, I was warned to always pay with cash not credit/debit here! read more

Sue Ellen's - One of the cool decorations they have there! - Gay Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

i been here many years but it's the bottle of water for $6 bucks for me ... thats what 600% mark up !! wow lets be better come 2026

Best sapphic bar in the south. If you're a woman trying to be in a space by and for and with women, pull up! The dancing is crazy after 11, the energy is safe and fun. That being said - the bar could really use a better sound system/better DJs. Love that the DJs are female - as they should be at the one lesbian bar in Texas - but the amount of issues they have on the regular is rough. read more

Went to Sue Ellen's during pre-pride party. Cover $5 dollar when we went and it was fun. Drink were around $6 for beer, $10-12 for cocktails, $2 Jell-O shots. The crowd was a lot of different people and bartenders were so nice. read more

Great venue, good drinks. But we went out for lady Gaga night. Paid a $20 entry fee. Why didn't they play any Gaga except her hits? We paid $20 for straight Gaga. Not enthused. read more

Had a fantastic time but Paid with my debit card and was charged different each time for my drinks. It was the same beer each time. Now looking at these reviews it's clear that they run this on patrons. So unfortunate when it truly was so much fun :( take cash, be clear on what they are charging you and what tip you are leaving. I ordered 3 rounds of the exact same thing. Each time I was charged a different amount. Included my bank statement below read more

The best Lezzie hangout there is! Chill staff, great vibes, and and a hella fun time!

I always have a good time at Sue's. The staff is friendly. I'm not waiting all night for drinks and they're cheap on top of that. I'm thankful to have skipped the cover charge most times. The music is dope! They have a couple of different sections upstairs and downstairs along with a patio with different vibes. Very cool and safe nightlife for the lgbtq community. Only con is that parking is horrrrible so take a Uber! read more

Ever since they reopened they seemed to have lost touch with the music. Sheesh invest in a DJ read more

Sue Ellen's - Bare dance floor on a Friday night - Gay Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Depends on the night you go... haven't been during the day so I can't say much about the food. Give chill vibes.

Naomi and Kailey were awesome! I asked them for something fruity to drink because I usually just get a vodka cran. They made some awesome drinks and were so fun to talk to. read more

This review is coming from a straight female and I loved visiting Sue Ellen's. Despite being a gay bar... I felt totally comfortable. I'm not sure if this place was so dead on a Friday night because we got there fairly early or because it was down pouring out... but there were only a handful of patrons here. NBD because I hate crowds. The bartender Ginda was DELIGHTFUL! She was so friendly! Love her! My friends and I sat at the bar for a bit then played darts in the back. The dart board took a bit of fiddling with to get it to work. But we had such a great time! I'm sure I'll be back when visiting my bestie in Dallas next time! read more

LOVE this place for karaoke but... the new DJ adds the same people (his friends) ahead of others and sometimes so he can sing and play piano... I plan my night to sing like one song and it takes forever to get to the front of the line with the new DJ read more

We discovered Sue Ellen's during the Cedar Springs Wine Walk one month. It's a great little spot around the corner from JR's. The two actually have a lot in common from an atmosphere perspective, but Sue Ellen's tends to be a bit quieter. This bar is nicely laid out with several bar locations, plenty of seating, and a little outdoor area. Drinks are quality and well priced and the staff is always cool when we come in here. As an added bonus, they have Ski Ball! Enough said, right there. If you're out wandering around Cedar Springs, it's worth turning the corner and popping into Sue Ellen's for a drink and a game of Ski Ball. read more

Multiple complaints. I had three beers, and 2 shots on my tab by the end of the night on 11/18. This bill from sue ellens ended up being NINE separate charges totaling $290. These bartenders will run your card up if you give them your debit! Secondly, our 4.5 hour long night ended very badly. The bartender left my last beer unattended for too long and I was drugged. The last thing I remember from the bar was dancing. We ended up leaving and the next thing I remembered was waking up in jail from a DUI. I had THREE BEERS, my gf had two shots. I'm a veteran and I can handle beer easily. But whatever I was given in my drink, made be black out completely. I got in my vehicle and ran into a parked car because of it. I have no memory of anything. Unacceptable, dangerous and completely not who I am. Idk why people do these things to others. This is most ridiculous sh**! read more

Great welcoming environment. Even fun for introverts that want to people watch. Nice to know lesbian bars still exist!

Sue Ellen's is usually fun time; however, WARNING: Do NOT pay with a card here. They charged me twice for a drink a day later & it never got reversed, had to call my bank. read more

Definitely use cash because the male bartender likes to add his own tip and double charge you

Though it has been nice in the past, I was disappointed to find that upon our return a year later that the bartender with the white glasses cut us off when neither of us were especially intoxicated and had already spent an hour drinking water and soft drinks before ordering wine. We changed venues because another venue accused my femme gf of being straight even though I was right next to her and we are both of the female designation. We just wanted to have a moment of feeling at home with our people. The reason she gave was that we asked twice about the popcorn maker but there wasn't any new popcorn since the first time we asked so she decided we were too intoxicated for a wine after an hour. It just feels judgy and sad. It was a disappointing visit after coming all this way from rural Texas just to be with our people. It's nice this place exists. There's no wlw-centric venue near me - it was nice to take my girl there when I visited Dallas. read more

Sue Ellen's is one of the few LGBT+ bars in the country that prides itself on catering the Lesbian community. But don't let that dissuade you from going, they are accepting of all. Some of my best nights out have included a time at Sue Ellen's. It is a true treasure for the community and one all should continue to support. The bartenders are great and the drinks are fantastic. Featuring a great dance floor, pool tables and other games, there is plenty to keep you entertained if you are too shy to shake it on the dance floor. read more

Usually fun but this past Saturday evening, the bartender who made my last drink left my drink on the bar too long after making it and I got distracted for a second. My drink was drugged. Watch your drinks because your bartender won't do it even when making it. read more

We came to this bar while my partner and I were visiting from Austin for her sister's birthday- my partner had just gotten kicked out of Bottled Blonde by the male staff for "not following dress code," and we immediately went to Sue Ellens afterward. I wanted to give this place 5 stars for the staff- we were harassed and had pictures taken of us without our permission by a couple, and the staff not only made the couple delete the pictures, but 2 of the staff members followed us out of the bar to apologize. It was such a sweet gesture, and that was the first time I've ever felt so safe and taken care of by bar staff. I can tell they truly want this to be a safe place where everyone feels welcome, and the gesture really touched my heart. I remember one of the staff members was named Hannah, and I can't remember the other person's name, but shoutout to them for being great humans. :) read more

Pros: Girls!!!, 4 bars, pretty quick service, a downstairs and an upstairs area, plenty of patio space, pool tables, multiple siting areas, areas are bussed quickly Cons: Cover to get in, bathrooms get pretty gross, parking, if you open your tab at one bar you can't use your same tab at any other bar (either open another tab or use cash only) Been here on Friday and Saturday. Giving this 3 stars because it wasn't a very mixed crowd. The upstairs area was completely dead. The DJ downstairs only played hip hop and dance floor was pretty full. It just wasn't my scene. I feel like if the upstairs area played different music instead of similar, it could totally attract more people that like different music. Haven't been here on a weekday so it might have a different vibe then. read more

Came here with my partner and felt very taken care of by the staff here after having a pretty rough night beforehand. They truly want this to be a safe space for everyone! Highly recommend! :) read more

I came with a friend that came to visit from an other state trying to show her a good time in Dallas. I brought her this this place and what a F.... disappointed. They didn't have a Dj. The music was ridiculously, bartenders were super rude. We could see people leaving with disappointment. Just don't waist your time going to this place it really sucks. read more

This is my favorite lesbian bar ever!! Cover was $5 and there is a large dance floor that is really busy and upstairs is a karaoke room. There is also an outside area to smoke and play cornhole. read more

Took my best friend out for her 20th birthday and came to Sue Ellen's on a Tuesday night. It was Tuesday Tease night which included a drag show and trivia. It was no cover for me (over 21) and 5 dollars for her. Our team, The Cunning Linguists, won the triva with the prize being a free drink! Afterwards was the show. The host was Stephanie and she was HILARIOUS. The drinks were made very well and the outside patio was a great hangout spot. There is parking available beside and a few spots in front of the club. Bar service is a tad bit slow but nothing too unbearable. read more

I really wish I could give more than 2 stars, maybe I can change that soon.. I have loved Sue's for a long time, and I agree with the other reviews: 1 - great lesbian scene, and 2 - your other gay/straight friends will like it too! That being said... It's hard for my gf and I to convince friends to come to Sue's because you are always charged a cover... WHY does the one lesbian bar/club in Dallas have to charge a cover?? Remove cover altogether or even just after midnight and you would get more people in the door! Sue's is only crowded these days for big events (Pride weekend, Halloween, New Years, etc.) and this may be why. Also - the DJ situation!!! So so bad.. I don't know how they haven't improved on this or don't recognize that it's a problem. Everyone is paying cover - that should pay for a good DJ! The music never matches the gay/lesbian scene (or even new popular music) and results in a dead dance floor pretty often. I promise there are DJ's out there who know how to play to this crowd - at least bring them in on the weekends! A lot of people come to dance! read more

Here a little after 8pm on a thursday ... Love coming here to shoot pool BUT the cost of a "specialty beer $5 plus OMG i just got played! $9.25 for well drink and REDDS Apple Ale.... 2 thumbs down... well drink $3 beer first born.. lol read more

Please get a new DJ or discuss a proper mix of music genres. Several people complained to the DJ about the mix but she continued to play outdated music of one continuous beat. It was a vibe killer for sure. Club is nice but DJ needs improvement. Definitely not a Saturday night DJ quality. Move her to Wednesday's. read more
