I didn't have food here. Didn't even know they sold food. The bartender was awesome. I unfortunately went when it was slower so it was kind of empty. I loved that they had 2 pool tables, a basketball court, a seating area outside. The decor was great. Did give me gay bar vibes lol lots of couches to sit cozily next to someone. A music machine (I don't know the real name lol) and what looked like a stage. The bathrooms were cool, spacious and clean. And the price for drinks were not expensive at all. The parking lot was semi small and right off butler. Overall a cute bar.

Outsider looking in. Pros: If you're looking for that dive bar atmosphere, this is YOUR place. LGBTQ super friendly- this is what saved their rating from being zero stars. They offer a variety of good drinks and places within their establishment to park your butt to enjoy them - inside on a cozy couch, in the pool room, on the roof top, in the backyard while shooting hoops or just in the outdoors with a group of buddies. It's a very versatile place. Cons: I come from the service industry, as a bartender. It pains me to write this about my own kind - a bartender. I bought 3 rounds of drinks $5 drink credit card tipped $2 cash $5 drink credit card tipped $2 cash $9 drinks credit card tipped $5 cash I prefer to tip in cash because I know what it's like to have IRS in my business (wink) in a service industry that is worked hard and given very little credit. Let me do the math for you, I tipped at 47%. And this is the back lash I got. The bartender told a regular that I had tipped zero, and that regular customer confronted me! I politely told that customer that my credit card slip shows zero but the cash I left tells a different story and I didn't see what business it was of theirs to be questioning me on how to spend my money. After the regular left the area, the bartender came over to apologize for the situation. While I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, his apology was weightless and unmoving. He waited for his regular to leave before he did anything about it because he lied straight to his regular. That bartender was most likely looking to get us kicked out (like others have mentioned in recent reviews). I didn't tip based on personality or positive interaction - which is what a tip is based on. If I had, he would have gotten $zero. I tried to understand their frozen drinks and I just got their names. That didn't help much so I just ordered. I'm from out of town so thankfully this place is in my rearview mirror. This is my 3rd visit and each time has been to celebrate a local birthday. I don't know if there will be future visits but I can guarantee I won't be spending my money at this establishment. In today's time, with inflation not matching income, this bartender should treat his visitors just like his regulars and learn to be more truthful. To the owner, it's a good thing you're standing with a watchful eye because greedy bartenders like this are probably taking from you too!

Fantastic new location of the Grapevine bar with the same atmosphere and great drinks and cocktails. Huge patio with the iconic basketball court but in a much safer version. Plenty of parking (street parking and they also have a lot). There are pool tables, couches and plenty of seating. Everyone is welcome, LGBTQ+ friendly and Medical staff friendly!

The Grapevine Bar has been around for decades. One of my favorite hole in the wall bars in Dallas. If you want to shoot hoops in a lopsided basketball hoop or just sit back and watch the game this is a great spot. You must try the cumberf*ck drink, be careful though it's tasty but deceivingly strong. Take care of your bar tenders. They work hard for you, they'll treat you right but if you're a douche they aren't afraid to call you out.

I've only been to the Grapevine Bar for about 20 minutes so here is my review. All in all the atmosphere was decent and drinks were decent. My wife was having a stressful night and went to the restroom to collect herself. Her friend went in to console her and the bouncer immediately kicked all of us out because they have 1 person in the restroom at a time policy. They were happy to charge us for the drinks we couldn't envoy. Needless to say my already upset wife was further devastated being kicked out of a bar for the first time in her life, and we won't be returning based on their lack of sensitivity. We came to the bar to forget our worries and luckily we have many other options for better drinks and friendlier staff. You also have options, why not exercise them? I would recommend choosing somewhere that has a bigger bathroom because you risk getting kicked out when consoling a sad friend just because this bar has small restrooms. It may be a policy at lots of places, the way they handled the situation was amateur and inappropriate.

Thus is the new location for this venue that has been around since 1996. It's kept its charm charisma & eclecticism. You have to come and have Kevin make you a drink. Don't forget to sat hello to Alicia, Grapevine's very 1st employee.

Really should be rated as a Top 5 bar in Dallas. It's just divey enough to make everyone comfortable. Great bartenders that pour a well made drink. Good selection of beers. Patio is a blast and everyone seems to be having fun when they are there. The little pool table in a cramped room makes it perfect to socialize and enjoy easy going pool matches. I enjoy all the comments from the peanut gallery when playing and meeting new friends. Basically everything a good bar should be. I hope it never changes.

I enjoyed the place. Google shows they have food. I was advised they don't serve food but previously had a food truck that would serve there. I further was advised they don't mind you bringing "outside " food. e.g. Pizza delivery, etc..

This is a cool spot with cheap drinks. Pretty small indoors but the outdoor area is awesome. A lot of covered porch with heating, roof top seating, and a hoop that usually has basketballs. There's a pool table although I don't think its full size, electronic juke box, and frozen peach Bellinis that I get on the regular. Staff is great and friendly, one of my favorite local spots! The bathroom situation is odd, some indoors and outdoors but nice to have more then one. This spot is a gem, sad to hear they're moving but excited to see what the new spot will look like!

The new location is AMAZING. More space, great layout and affordable delicious cocktails. BEST DIVE BAR IN DFW. All are welcome to the bar. Cool laid back vibes 😎

What a great little dive bar. It’s too bad it’s apparently getting torn down to build some new rich people trash. Very laid back atmosphere, good drink selection, and very nice staff.

The new location is nice. Owners have tried really hard to carry the vibe of the old location over. The beer garden is great, and overall the new place is much bigger.

Great neighborhood bar with a unique atmosphere and affordable drinks. Its so sad they're closing after almost 3 decades of being there.

This needs to be on everyone's radar when looking for a great time. Chill atmosphere, eclectic crowd and friendliest of staff. Been coming here for almost 20 years and it keeps getting better.

Cool place, indie vibes and decent priced drinks. Would go back but somehow my card got "lost" and bartender had no idea where it was. When I mentioned I would just freeze my card he told me that I shouldn't. Big Red Flag. He was a white guy, he turned off the music in the bar after I asked if he knew where my card was and got defensive. Besides the theif everything else was good.

A Dallas must. Fantastic mix of peoples in laid back surroundings. Vintage, throw back furniture and music from every decade add to the coolness of this bar. Huge patio perfect for daytime cocktails or late night party groups. Don't miss it!

The staff are so funny & attentive. They def make the experience there worth coming back. It’s just like the old version just bigger & better! I think every time I leave there I leave with having made a new friend

This is my first time at the new location. We went Halloween weekend and had a good time. People watching and hearing live band! Will definitely be back. It is a different atmosphere. I feel then the other location that was smaller.

First visit but not my last. Omg they have a basketball court in a bar. Too cool!!! The staff friendly and professional

Mama is perfect and amazing. Waiter was great too. Bartender was extremely rude and lost my card.

We (my husband & I) went last saturday night, and it was a great time. Very mixed crowd, really friendly people & staff, & our server (LORI) was AMAZING. Thank u for a night to remember.

I went to the old Grapevine and loved it. This place is 10 times as big, but a great place. The even kept the basketball goal!

I've lived in dallas 20+ years. This spot is slightly divey but has a great upside. Friendly staff, big patio, a basketball goal, rooftop, and good music. Never had a bad time here.

Great ambience and great drinks! You can choose to hang out inside, outside, or head up to the roof which is a great place to bring a date.

Loved the atmosphere and the drinks were on point! The bartenders know what they’re doing and prices were good

So cheap and such a good time always. Awesome staff and love the basket ball hoop. :)

Love visiting this hole in the wall. Funky atmosphere and good drinks. 2 things to note- they are NOT dog friendly, inside or outside on the patio. And they do not serve food but you can bring your own and have with drinks.

The Grapevine was awesome, had a blast last night. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanna have some fun to the fullest.

Excellent little nightclub spot! One of the few friendly bars of it's kind in the neighborhood. Definitely will stop back in for a stiff one.

Had a blast with a very special lady there. Nice ambiance, ratchet old pool tables old speakers old chairs and not so old crowd. Basketball outside and affordable drinks even for a non-alcoholic like myself.

Cool little dive bar, affordable drinks, and the fact they have a basketball net in the back is very nice! Great for a chill afternoon/night.

Awesome, eclectic vibes. Great service. Basketball court in the back is pretty unique. Would be a regular here if I lived here.

Frankie’s has a really cool space downstairs called The Underground for private parties with a full bar, stage, tv’s…could probably host 100ish people. Right in the heart of lots of fun downtown Dallas locals.

A interesting mix of a small cozy dark lounge and dive bar. A hidden lgbtq+ and all gem for those who simply want to relax with a favorate spirit whether be it with friends or alone. A outside area is included in the back which is friendly for smokers and vapers with a second bar station complimenting the inside one for a overall great hangout spot off the beaten path in oaklawn. A very good choice to break from the mainstream nightlife.

Love this place! Thought I lost my beanie here Thurs Dec 22 but called and they didn't have it. If anyone sees a multicolor hand-woven beanie please let me know :)

Awesome atmosphere, best cozy dive bar in Dallas, people from all walks of life come here and everyone is welcome, great happy hours, you are guaranteed to meet new people and have a great time for sure !

Only because the Drink was Peachy and Amazing .. . it was a good place to go to meet in a Public place.. from what I can tell.... the Dream team here is very friendly.. Energetic....and High Vibes... how ever... the kool Treehouse vibe.. and awesome small crowd was over shadowed by the female bartender.. with lost of energy...liicking her arms and hands..a bottle maybe..while explaining something to someone..very weired vibe... right before she notice me signaling for an ice breaker while waitning to ask about the Peach Balini that everyone is talking about... .. then she fixed my drink even after I asked to wait for the guy to fix it.... after staring at me Long enough to guess my bra size. Lol.. not really.. Anyways ... . She didn't wash her hands.. I was soo nervous for my first meet so... I just grabbed the drink..paid then walked away to find my vibe... till my ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 came a rushing in.. I overlooked the first impression and enjoyed my amazing night I didn't know was waiting on me. However.. it's a kool place to host girls night out or .. to go shoot some hoops and play a bored game..or cards.. or what ever it is that keeps the great vibes rolling...maybe shoot some pool... . I only stayed about 20 mins.. didn't finish drink.. there is no food here for the foodie.. not sure if they will let an Event Host like myself host an event here... but the vibes was definitely there.. Selfie vibes on Deck... They card at the door.. which is awesome.. There's many options to choose from when focusing on the kool details of the place. .. In just 20 minutes.. and a bit if Akwardness. I give this place a 8 out of 10... But I must say .. after this post.. parking will be hard to find.. I'm also an Lyft Driver and I will be blessing this spot with travelers.. so please put on your new undies.. go down to the Grapevine and tell them Ms.Tae sent'cha.. And save me some Peach Balinies 🍑 😋

Outdoor, Indoor - a great dive-esque bar for your chill needs :) everyone is nice, the atmosphere is nice, the drinks are good, and the other patrons are nice. I have a nice time drinking here :) plus, bring a basketball and shoot some hoops!!

There was a bartender that was extremely petty. I had asked for two different drinks and they had a very limited selection. They didn’t provide any recommendations at all. I had ordered a lemon drop and it tasted like pure lemon juice…. Makes me never want to order a lemon drop again. After ordering another shot the bartender said “thanks for the tip” knowing I didn’t provide one. I turned my drink in and they didn’t offer to remake it or do anything about it, so that’s my tip to them. The music was wack. I don’t even think they have a menu, and if they do I wouldn’t know. I’m wondering why the older establishment was replaced at this point.

This place was real cool and laid back.. I loved the atmosphere & the vibe in there. I didn't get any food so no feedback on the food. Service was very quick and you didn't have to stand there and wait in no long line to get a drink. Awesome Place 😎
