Located on the edge of the M streets wedged between a few restaurants. Always packed at night. Small cafe like patio and heavily wooded interior. A few good unusual beers on tap. Servers are retarded but the selection is ok and the food is tasty. I like it at night when the lights are turned down.

Visited on a Sunday evening. Not too crowded. A mix between old European, Irish pub and monestary feel. The beer selection wasn’t particularly good, but they had some decent bottles and served the beer in appropriate glassware. Didn’t try the food, but enjoyed good service all night long. I did like the outdoor patio/beer garden as well. Not a great beer destination, but a nice place to hang out.

The selection of beer is alright but the service is pretty bad. It’s always packed and hard to get a table. Food is mediocre. I try to avoid this place. Much better ambiance elsewhere in Dallas.

One of my favorite bars. The selection of beers tends to be weighted in favor of Belgian beers. The crowd varies, with a lot of SMU students and people up to the age of 35. The food is slightly upscale pub grub.. There is not too much parking and the bar can get a little crowded, but it is a fun place to have a Chimay, Maredsous, etc...

This place is dimly lit, has a great indoor and outdoor patio, and is typically really comfortable to hang out in. Service is spotty. Typically just average, but sometimes they are very attentive. Depends on the individual. Selection is pretty good, and they do have a few rotating taps so I can’t knock them completely. Yes they are part of a chain of several locations, but this is the best of them. Decent Belgian list typically as well especially in bottles. My first place to have a St. Feuillien Tripel. I also like the fact the wait staff is typically knowledgeable about beer moreso than many places. Food is also above average, mussels are very good and so are the burgers. Pub fare mostly, but definitely above average. Pricing tends to the high side, but not outrageous. The location is part of the problem. Swanky neighborhood means higher pricing and I understand that. You have to pay the rent. So many places on Knox-Henderson close so I’m glad they keep the doors open. Overall a decent place, and probably in my top 10 recommendations for an out-of-towner looking for a good pub.

Parking is pretty terrible, music is really loud, but food is really good, scotch selection is incredible and beer selection ain’t too shabby either.

I am with Ragin Cajun on this place. It is an easy walk from my place - and I have ZERO interest in ever going there. For creative tasty, fair priced beer, simply walk across the street to Vickery Park.

WARNING: This is a uptown meat market bar posing as a homey beer drinking pub. This place pushes the usual Stella, Hoegaarden, and Kronenborg poser beers, while offering little on draft for the discerning beer drinker, and a barely quaffable selection in bottle formats. The "ambiance" is the best part about this place, and if you don’t mind the crappy euro-trash poser beers or over paying for a commonly found bottled beer, then you might not mind popping in for a few brews. I avoid this place now at all cost unless I am meeting someone there.

Selection is not amazing but solid and they do offer some interesting non-beer drinks and have some solid food. Small place with a nice patio area. As others have said can get pretty loud and crowded on a weekend night.

Not a bad place to have a pint. Definitely appeals to a more mature crowd, which is rare & welcome in Dallas. Focus on Belgian beers (good selection for this area), with a menu that pairs well with available brews. On a recent trip enjoyed their much-touted mussels, although they were a bit overcooked they went well with the beer & the liquor was tasty. Always appreciate a pub with a decent cheese plate available. Best time to visit is during the day if you like to avoid loud music, the young, or crowds. Would recommend.
