Dallas Best Live Music Venues

Greg Barrett: If you want to hear the most eclectic music in deep ellum come here. Not sanctioned by the deep ellum mafia

Jill Cain: the absolute best music venue in dallas....hands down

Dallas Observer: This small intimate venue boasts the area's best patio with a gorgeous skyline view!

John Stevenson: Parking is $10. Nice venue, horrible staff. Bouncers are always rude for no reason, and be prepared to wait half an hour for a single drink while the bar staff flirt with the guy ahead of you in line.

Bravo: Great artists always in town. Great gospel brunch on Sunday but valet is pricey. If visiting take dart or shuttle bus. -Tiffany Derry, Top Chef

Steve F.: Drink PBR and contemplate semantics.

Soul Train: Open mic, phat beats & live music every Wednesday by RC Williams & the Gritz. @fatbellybella is a fan

Gje Greene: This place rocks!

Chelsea Callahan: Excellent place to go any night of the week! My favorite bar in Denton!

Vi Nguyen Chang: Both upstairs and downstairs bars are cash only so come with some green :) ATMS are available though, and on the random night I went there was live music downstairs performed by regular bar patrons.

Thrillist: This bar's took over the ex-Crickets full kitchen to prep a Texas-inspired next-level bar menu, w/ weekend brunches featuring chorizo burritos, fried egg sliders, & dark choc-sauced cinnamon churros. Read more.

Steve F.: Try the City Tavern Classic Burger. You will thank me later.

Jeff S: Suckit

Matthew Gunter: Good Burger, great beer prices, great music, and a shuffleboard table.
