    Great place for live music, drinks and dinner! The Barflies really rock! I've seen others here, too, and have never been disappointed. Fun times!

    The cottage is a dive bar with live music, sociable staff, & good bar food. It's great if for individuals that rather party with the peasants than waltz with the rich. Definitely my kind of bar and atmosphere!

    Amazing burgers that never fail, friendly bartenders, killer live bands! Love this spot.

    Divey, dingy, stiff drinks, cold beers, have great music/band and good service. This is the type of place you would go to after a long week of work. You just have to seat down, order some drink, relax and listen to the band ( thank god they didn't play PourSome Sugar on Me) any band who doesn't play that Dallas anthem is a good band in my book. Lol. I had a good time people watching and just looking around the place. They have random artworks around the bar area wall and their bar set up is something I've never seen before. They have a round shaped table/ shelving smacked down in the middle of the bar and that's where they have all of their liquor bottles and glassware. Definitely another place to add in our rotation.

    Perfect dive bar; small enough so that uou can meet everyone in the place! Friendly waittresses make up for the weak drinks, and there is often live music! Fireman Frank approves!

    The Best Cheese Burger in Dallas !!!!!!

    5 STARS HANDS DOWN !!! So surprised with all the people and amazing music there are not more reviews.... SO I AM GOING TO TELL YOU! Great music and you never know who will show up to Jam. Kelly is awesome and can take care of a bar full still happy and she gets it right ! When you go you must have a burger. The great part is no matter who is in the kitchen it is always consistent! You should definitely go check this place out !!!

    Food was good bar food. Loved the huge patio out back. It's not just a dive bar, it's a tired dive bar.

    Having moved back to Dallas from living in Austin for many years, I had always missed going to a…read morequirky, cozy divey-feeling bar or restaurant. The moment we walked in the decor really catches your eye and there is a small stage on the right. The bar has cute light fixtures over it and there are coin pool tables with pink and purple felt. The seating varies from sofas to chairs to bar stools inside. Outside they have a patio that extends beyond what you might expect. In other words it is massive! There is also another stage out there and the ambience is very cool. It almost feels like a brewery with tons of picnic table seating and open air for the smokers who want to smoke and socialize. The service was great, the drink selection was good, and the inside/outside hang out space was really just the best. The only downside that I can think of for this place is maybe that they don't have that much parking space? I mean that's me trying hard to come up with some flaw about this place! Come check them out, period. You won't regret it!

    The bar is very casual with both indoor and outdoor seating. There's an outdoor stage in the back…read more It's very dim inside and pretty loud with the music. So I prefer to sit outside with a group of friends. There is also a foosball table in pool table inside. Drinks are pretty well priced and affordable. I also tried the food from the left part of the building and got a burger and it was good. Service is pretty good overall.
