So it's a bar. With bar food. The service was perfect. Food was fresh and hot and generously sized. Beer was cold. Cocktails were not watered down. Parking blows but hey, that's the only thing that was not ideal. read more

The Barley House - Pubs Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, decor. The space was beautifully designed, with a cute outdoor bar and plenty of TVs for watching sports. The Mulder burger was good but i was not a fan of their fries because they had a sour, vinegary flavor. I tried a sample of one of the cocktails, but it was too sweet for my taste, and I didn't find many cocktails options that appealed to me, so I ended up ordering wine instead. The service was very slow throughout our visit. My friend waited a long time for her drink, and our first waitress forgot to bring our water and disappeared for quite a while. The second waitress, who took over later, provided much better service. read more

First time visiting this Barley House location near SMU for a gathering with classmates. We split the bill: one classmate covered the food, and each of us paid separately for our own drinks. I placed my order before 7 PM on Friday, well within their happy hour window (Friday HH lasts until 8 PM per their printed menu). I only ordered three drinks: one draft Austin Blood Orange Cider, one can Bud Light, and one can sugar-free Red Bull. After I got home and reviewed my credit card statement, I was shocked to find a charge over $50 on my card for just these few drinks. This is unreasonably high for my small drink order. I have filed a credit card dispute for this incorrect overcharge. If you come here, double-check your itemized receipt before paying. Very disappointing first experience near SMU. read more

First time at the Barley. Some of the SMU parents were dragged in by the students.. I'm going to tell you, I was pleasantly surprised I had one of their regular burgers was actually pretty good , and I'm not a fan of bar food. They have tater tots, which I think is adorable, and not really something that I have eaten since I was 10 years old.... But the kids liked eating them off my plate. The weight staff was very nice and friendly. We really enjoyed the music. The live band that was inside. The dance floor is really nothing to speak of but everyone is more than welcome to stand, and just start dancing which we did. This is a dog friendly property . They have parking. read more

Food and prices great. Bartender with Power Trip and attitude, not so much. BTW, No pictures allowed, because she said so. Got profiled fur not being a regular, I guess. read more

Wow - what a difference service can make. Based on our experience yesterday, I am knocking this spot down. A horrible woman behind the bar was soooo inappropriate that we have no idea why she is employed. Pointing and screaming at customers? Clearly, when someone acts out like this there is something going on with them. Never going back. And, disputing the charge on my card once the sun rises in California. read more

Great neighborhood bar. Love the live music and variety of bands and age group. Always a mix of SMU and others. Love the food options and the patio. If in the SMU area do stop by. Location is great. Staff is friendly and owners are great. read more

Great spot for food and drink. Dave is the man! Great patio with fire pits as well. Not too shabby!

Very rude service. Ruined our nights. Never coming back. Terrible bar food made me sick

Food was great, service was slow. Joined a table of friend and the server did not appear for more than 30 minutes. Place was extremely busy but that does not excuse placing an order for a beer and the beer never showing up. The server came back to the table and I had to order it a second time. The beer came 30 minutes later, while other tables received service much quicker. And while the food was top notch, I will not be returning. read more

Love the Barley House! Always a fun time to go here with friends and family. They have AMAZING cover bands on the weekend and their mozzarella sticks are some of the best in Dallas. Thank you for a great time, Scott and the Barley team! read more

The Barley House - Taylor swift cover band at barley house - Pubs Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Trivia night. The emcee "Eric" was a complete JERK. The noise level was not conducive to even hearing the questions. Sound system horrible. When our group asked him to slow down his delivery so we might enjoy the game, he made a lame excuse and cited his long years of "experience". Disappointing to say the least. Thumbs way down for a guy who can't read a room. Took 3 tries before finding an amber lager in stock. Chicken pot pie average, Wings good. Everything else described as just "ok". Waitress was attentive. 6 people won't be returning... disappointing. read more

Besides the idiots, bartenders are great if you behave. If not, there is pain. Bands are all from 1965, so there is that.

the bartender rejected a valid ID after argument. crazy. told him to scan it and he couldnt. don't come here cause he talking bout my attitude like im not telling him it's a real ID read more

Ideal bar experience! Great prices and tasty bar food. There are lots of TVs and games. The cherry limeade drink is fire.

This is a great bar near SMU with a wide range of people until it skews heavily toward college students after 9 pm. I've been here a couple time now and it never disappoints. It's not fancy or trendy. There are no IG spots. It's a bar and it does that perfectly. The wings are great and they have 3 beers from Peticolas including Velvet Hammer and Golden Opportunity (a delicious kolsch). Service was great. Wish I had the name of the guy who took care of us on the evening of 12/10. read more

Awesome band!! Thank you for having their last gig for the school year at your bar. Had a blast!!! And the door guy with tattoos great Gave my fiancé water and a place to sit on the patio while it was wet. Definitely a good spot to visit and feel respected all in one!!! read more

Went for trivia night expecting a good time, but the experience was soured by the bouncer's attitude. My friend politely asked a group near us to stop shouting out answers, just trying to keep the game fair. Instead of handling it reasonably, the bouncer stepped in and gave my friend unnecessary attitude and disrespect. There was no aggression or confrontation--just a simple request for fairness. It's disappointing when staff create more tension than the actual situation calls for. Trivia should be fun, not hostile. I fw Milos way better! read more

I really don't have much to say about this place. Don't take this review for consideration if you're here for drinking and late night fun I wanted chicken pot pie on pi day and my coworker suggest I go here during lunch. Their chicken pot pie is half price on Thursdays (and pi day? Not sure) it definitely was a very quality pie. The inside is not watery and not too thick, just right to my tasting. Crust is small but best part in my opinion. The chicken chunk is best cut of the breast. Seasoned well and I did not detect much salt is sodium. I will definitely go back during work lunch. The service was great and friendly. read more

The Barley House - Chicken pot pie on pi day! - Pubs Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Food was absolutely so gooddd!! I would definitely come back Kimmie the bartender was well attentive and down to earth ever one is so nice!

No service- stand long enough at the bar you might get noticed. Wish Zoom could comment on food but getting one beer was difficult enough. Management, if there is any, needs to be more aware. Told music would start at 8:00 pm, then later 9:00 pm - inconsistency means poor management. read more

Easy, always friendly staff. I miss the pineapple pizza! Grilled chicken sandwich is good as well. Cold beer, great place to sit outside. read more

I haven't come here to eat, only for drinks! It is a good atmosphere and has fun drink options! I want to come back here for a burger!

i went last week and my visit was terrible. The food was decent and the customer service was so bad, I just wanted to pay and leave.

My friends and I came here for March Madness games. This place rocks. They have big screen TVs everywhere so we were able to watch all the games at the same time. They were serving $10 domestic pitchers and $7 burger baskets. On Fridays, they have half priced pizzas before 6pm. The only drawbacks are the small parking lot and the limited service. There were only two waitresses and it was taking a while to get service. It was not the fault of the waitresses. They just had a ton of people that they had to service. read more

We came the night of Texas vs. Ohio State game (which was crazy busy) & had a new waiter, Sam. Let me tell you, he was amazing!! So kind and quick. The place was SLAMMED & he always came back with drinks so fast or kept us posted on when drinks/food would be out. Everything came out exactly as we ordered too, which was impressive considering how busy it was. We will be back to sit in Sam's section for sure! read more

Barley is amazing. I go several nights a week, the bartenders and staff are absolutely incredible people. It's my go to chill bar vibe, and they will have live bands and trivia some nights. Drinks are good, and not too expensive. The pink frozen drink is awesome. They also have the BEST mozzarella sticks in dallas, I get them almost every time I go they are just so delicious. Also they have a fire steak quesadilla. Highly recommend! read more

Great local bar/pub across from SMU and next to the Aquatic Center where my daughter swims for the Mustangs PonyUp ! read more

Great bar with cool paraphernalia on the walls. Reasonable drink prices with decent food and live music.

IF YOURE OVER 21 DONT GO HERE. My friends and I went here just to grab a drink while bar hopping a little bit. We are all over 21, some of us 22. When we got there, the bouncer was SUPER NICE to us and checked our ids and granted us entry. Then we went up to the bar to try to order drinks and the bartender asked for all of our IDs again before any of us had even said a word. He then was bending them, flicking them, and called over 2 other bartenders as they were staring back at us and whispering and looking back at them. He came back to us and told us we couldn't be served unless we had an other form of ID. The next few minutes contained the male bartender yelling in a young girls face to "get the fuck out", throwing our IDS, and the older female bartender calling us freaks. There is a good way and a bad way to deny someone, despite the fact all of our IDs are real, but this was still completely disrespectful and grown adults should not be yelled at and treated like children and nobody should be yelling at a girl. I would like to add that when the left, the young bouncer was again super nice. He's the only good thing about this place. If you're an adult, don't go here, they obviously only want minors and fake ids read more

I recommend going to The Barley House to listen to live music and/or watch sports. It makes for a great hang out spot in a convenient location. The food tasted okay but, our group will likely not order anything other than apps and drinks next time. read more

We have been standing for one hour and fifteen minutes for this band that was supposed to start at 8:45. They will not play house music or a jukebox. Seriously get your act together. This is beyond ridiculous. It is now 10:05. The only music is on the patio. No managment working here. read more

I've had multiple experiences at barley house and all were bad, first time all the bartenders are assholes and don't let you cash out and when you want to they say you can't and it's automatic 20%. Second, they were only accepting "vertical" ID's and didn't let other people in the party in and shoved a women in my party and was lucky she wasn't hurt. Truly a poor run establishment with no morals. read more

Came here on a thursday for some drinks and trivia. The drinks were fine, typical bar drinks! We were pretty hungry so we ordered some food, cheeseburger, mozzarella sticks, and fried pickles. The cheeseburger was incredible. I could not get enough! It was so fresh and flavorful. I heard they do everything in house so that's always a plus. Trivia was fun, some rounds we totally aced and others we didn't know anything about! Definitely would go back. read more

Very casual seems fun. I was there when the Beatles cover band was there. I ordered a salad and not only was it inexpensive. It was surprisingly good. read more

good food, good drinks, great staff! the go-to nights are thursday for trivia, fridays and saturdays for band nights, and a sunday football game is always fun. read more

this place needs to fire their bouncer immediately. He cursed at us multiple times saying our ID's were fake and tried to kick us out when all of us are 23+. Saying "these are the fakest fucking ID's I've ever seen" and "I know how ID's are supposed to fucking look I don't need you to fucking tell me". If you don't know how to check a real ID then you shouldn't be a bouncer. I have never had an issue with my Texas ID and he was acting belligerent when checking ours. He was so incredibly rude it was baffling how he even landed a job. read more

We came across this place before an SMU game and it looked like it had some good energy so we went into the patio. It was a beautiful day and the patio was nice size with several picnic tables and a couple large screen TVs with football playing. They also had a cool water feature / fountain in the corner that was made with about 50 beer taps. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. We had a beer and ordered some pizza. We had tapped beer and it was nice and cold. The pizza we went with was the BBQ Chicken pizza. The pizza was quite good. The crust was better than I expected, the chicken was tender, the BBQ sauce had just enough spice, red onion was roasted nicely, and it was cheesy! Unfortunately, while my friend was finishing up his 3rd piece (there were 8 pieces and I was stuffed after two and he even finished the crust of my 2nd piece), he pulled out something that looked like tinsel or a very thin curly type of wire. After looking more, he pulled out a second piece of the sparkly, wire like material. We very politely told the waitress how delicious the pizza was but "we found these in the pizza". She took the pieces and asked us if she wanted us to have her show the cook. I said, I thought that would be a good idea and that I would want to know if I were him. She later came back and just said he didn't know what it was. SMH. As she was aware we were first timers, I would have expected some type of discount, discount on next visit, comp, something. Nope. This place is really cool and has some fun things inside as well. I was just overall a little disappointed in the way the food issue was handled...or better stated...not handled. I love me some things that sparkle and shine, just not in my pizza. Enjoy y'all! read more
