What People Are Saying About City Tavern

City Tavern is truly a unique Downtown Neighborhood pub/restaurant and meeting place. As you enter, the warm friendly feeling of a Chicago Style pub surrounds you as you are guided to a cozy booth, a prominent place at the bar with the smiling bartender or perhaps by the cafe windows - great for people watching! The game room/ dining room upstairs , designed with a neighborhood motif, maintains the beauty of the building dating to the early 1900's.

In Short – Brick walls, wooden tables and chairs, and a welcoming waitstaff greet patrons at this hangout. Two pool tables upstairs, 10 big-screen televisions and a Golden Tee machine add to the laid-back feel. Lunch and dinner menu options are typical salads, sandwiches and chicken baskets; appetizers include quesadillas, fried mozzarella and spicy wings. Drink choices are notable--40 bottled beer choices, 16 drafts and 11 varieties of wine.

Dirty Dusty!
by crockd at Citysearch
Anytime someone comes in to visit Dallas, I always make sure I take them by City Tavern to start the night off with a Dirty Dusty for $4. I big ol' shot a jack and a PBR, its the tops. Also great staff.
- Pros: Great service, the all time best drink special
- Cons: sometimes a little over crowded

Coolest Be Yourself Bar w/Personality
by StyleeT at Citysearch
I'm born and raised here, and have been to many a bar around the country. If you seek a cool relaxed setting, where it does'nt matter who you are, or where you're from, City Tavern will always be HOME.
Shout out to Josh, Misha, Dusty, Alicia, Canice, Toby, all the cooks, and anyone else I can't name. KEEP IT REAL DALLAS, TERRANCE OUT!
- Pros: Not too big.
- Cons: Opens too late.

You've got to check this place out
by Sequenze at Citysearch
This is my favorite spot in Dallas! It has a great neighborhood bar feel to it, and their selection of beers is quite impressive. But what really keeps me coming back to this place is the staff. They are amazing and I cannot sing their praises enough. There is also a second level that is great for having parties, or you could play a couple games of pool instead. As so many pretentious, soulless bars keep popping up in Dallas, it's refreshing to know we still have places like this in our town. Kudos to the City Tavern!

The game room/ dining room upstairs , designed with a neighborhood motif, maintains the beauty of the building dating to the early 1900's. On the weekends, live bands rock the Downtown in the safety of the Main street address and the healthy parking garage across the street is affordable and secure. The menu features daily specials, entree-size salads, and great juicy burgers with crispy fries. The bar is a great start to ending a long day Downtown with co-workers at the nightly happy hour or for casual dining with family and friends. Come on in, we have a friendly place for you.
