    a drink on a bar counter
    Katie J.

    I would say this is a dive bar to the T. I had an absolute great time! Played pool, had some drinks and a great time. I highly recommend if you're into the dive bar scene.

    Hello there I'm at The Goat
    Lorenzo H.

    Living in the area, I've met so many people who shared their experiences of visiting The Goat and I wanted my own. I visited on a slow night with a blues band, and I really enjoyed myself. I was expecting to hear this amazing story about how it came to be named The Goat, and I heard a funny one instead. Make sure to ask! Although the bar is nothing fancy, there were some cool people there enjoying the music and incredibly priced drinks. When everything else is closed they will be open!

    This is a happy guest enjoying a drink at the GOAT!

    This Dallas institution is a must for blues lovers. The live music nights feature highly skilled local blues musicians.

    Yes if you bring it. They won't mind.

    Is live music every night?

    Karaoke is Wed and Sun but other than that, yes. See www.thegoatdallas.com/gigs.html

    He is what I aspire to be in my golden years and Lota's Goat is the kind of place I could easily see myself spending way too much time.

    Came to celebrate a Birthday last night. We arrived early and didn't know a soul. Within minutes…read morethe owner, bartender and patrons invited us in. Don't let the dive bar ambiance scare you it's definitely the people and the vibe that keeps you here. We witnessed people from all walks of life from Tesla to bicycle singing and sharing moments that can't be duplicated. Had a blast and can't wait to go back!

    This place should be kept a secret and limited to invitees only. I almost didn't want to review…read morefor that reason as I'm not sure everyone should check it out. It has a special, magical charm of the perfect dive bar. I'm ignoring my previous trip there as, well, I should not have brought that person to this place. This place is not for pretentious people. Thus I was at home at this spot. It looks camouflaged by plain wrapping with a boring exterior. Open the door and it is a world of more things to explore than you have time to. You are treated like family as a stranger. Be ready to be among people who want to know you. I guess I fit as some there knew my friends from other dive bars. I never realized how small the Dallas Dive bar world was. I have some cool friends. The music is good on the video jukebox. The tears came to my eyes as a few post 9/11 patriotic songs were played (I bleed Army green and so did some that didn't return home to their moms intact.) Glad none there saw my eyes or noticed my toast to my memories. The couple dancing on the next song made me feel more at home. Good thing a good 2 step or waltz never played or I might have had to find a partner. The decor is somewhat Green Bay Packer-ish. Okay, a lot of Green Bay love in the decor. Heh, yes, I still carry a grudge from the 1967 Ice Bowl as a life long Cowboy fan should! But, I respect a bar owner who has actual stock in his/her team and displays it proudly! So that adds another star or would that be Starr? The patrons make this one special. This is one of the great dive bars!
