What People Are Saying About Slip Inn

In Short – Located next to a convenience store, no windows and surrounding low-rent-looking property will intimidate the uninitiated. But this dark, late-night hangout with live DJ, cheap drinks and an ultracool vibe will woo skeptics. A pool table and long bar stretch toward the back of the L-shaped layout. Twenty-somethings groove on the small dance floor or lounge at red leather booths. Bar patrons come to hear a mix of pop hits, hip-hop, house, funk, soul and electronica spun with happy abandon by a live DJ.
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Every Monday night from 9pm to close is open turntable night. Local DJs bring their own vinyl and spin for 20-minute sets.
- Save Money:
- Monday through Saturday, 7am-8pm, get $2 domestics and $3 wells.
Stay away!

I was at The Slip Inn 3/6/2011 and the DJ playing that night was under the impression that he was in a techno bar in Las Vegas and not Dallas, TX. I paid him 7 dollars asking for him to play any Jay-Z song (very popular artist, especially in dance clubs). The guy takes my money and completely ignores my request and continues with his obscure Deadmau5 want-to-be music that nobody was dancing to or even remotely interested in. I approached the DJ booth get my money back and his coked up bouncer/ girlfriend blatantly insults me and my girlfriend. He then states that I should “f**k off because it is his birthday and he’ll play what he wants”.
I will never return to this place again solely for their DJ selection.
THE TRASHIEST BAR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by Mr and Mrs at Citysearch
THIS PLACE IS THE TRASHIEST BAR I HAVE EVER BEEN TO IN MY LIFE. IN MY LIFE! IT'S SMALL AND CONGESTED AND OVERCAPACITY, BUT STILL CRAMMED PEOPLE IN. THE BARTENDERS.. CAN I SAY THEY WERE ON CRACK LITERALLY! I DIDN'T EVEN GET A GOOD BUZZ DUE TO THE FACT IT TOOK ME 45 MINS TO GET A DRINK AND BY THEN I HAD TO GET MY HUSBAND TO REINFORCE AND A ,LITERALLY, CRACKED OUT BARTENDER THAT THOUGHT HE OWNED THE BAR TOOK OUR MONEY, DEEP THROATED OUR MONEY AND THOUGHT IT WAS HILARIOUS! REALLY? THAT MONEY HAS BEEN EVERY WHERE, WON'T BE SURPRISED IF HE HAS GONORRHEA NOW.. WE GOT THERE AT MIDNIGHT AND ONLY TWO DRINKS WERE SERVED TO MY HUSBAND AND I, WE CAME WITH FOUR OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT I ADD.
OKAY AND THAT ISN'T THE WORST PART. YOU CANNOT WEAR BASEBALL HATS IN THE BAR,THAT IS THEIR POLICY. COOL. MY HUSBAND AND HIS 2 FRIENDS HAD HATS, BUT THEY TOLD THEM, “HEY YOU CAN BRING YOUR HAT, BUT DON'T WEAR IT.” WE WALKED IN AND TEN OTHER GUYS ARE WEARING THEIR HAT. SO AROUND 1:50 AM, BEFORE THE BAR ENDED, MY HUSBAND PUTS HIS HAT ON BECAUSE WE WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE, THE CRACKED OUT BARTENDER HITS MY HUSBAND'S HEAD AND HIS CAP FLIPS OFF HIS HEAD, AGAIN HE THINKS HE OWNS THE BAR, AND TELLS HIM,"NO HATS IN THIS BAR!!!! GET HIM OUT OF HERE!" OKAY, ONE, ALL HE HAD TO SAY WAS SIR TAKE OFF YOUR HAT, NO HATS ALLOWED OR GET OUT. TWO, DON'T BE RUDE AND HIT MY HUSBAND'S HEAD BECAUSE YOU ARE DRUNK AND DRINKING ON THE JOB. OH YEAH, WE HAVE PICTURES OF HIM DRINKING STRAIGHT FROM A JAGERMIESTER BOTTLE AND SPITTING IT ALL OUT LIKE HE WAS VOMITING. OF COURSE, ANY NORMAL HUMAN WILL GET MAD AND MY HUSBAND TELLS THE BARTENDER WHAT ARE YOU DOING HITTING MY HEAD BECAUSE OF A HAT, NOT IN THOSE WORDS, BUT I'D RATHER KEEP IT PG! :) SO THE BARTENDER STARTS SCREAMING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL, BY THE WAY HE IS A MAN, TO THE BOUNCER TO KICK THIS"MOTHER F***** OUT!!!!" AGAIN WE HAVE A PICTURE OF THAT TOO!!! IN MY HUSBAND'S DEFENSE HE WAS TELLING THE BOUNCER HEY THIS GUY RIGHT HERE IS WEARING A BASEBALL HAT TOO, WHY CAN'T I? THE BOUNCER AND MY HUSBAND HAD SOME WORDS AND THE BOUNCER FLIPPED OUT ON MY HUSBAND. MY HUSBAND LOOKS WHITE, BUT HE IS HALF WHITE/MEXICAN, HIS BEST FRIEND IS BLACK, AND I AM ASIAN. OKAY, THE BOUNCER BASICALLY CALLED MY HUSBAND RACIST BECAUSE HE USED A SLANG WORD TOWARDS A GUY. WHICH HE DIDN'T MEAN IT IN A RACIST WAY. SO MY HUSBAND WAS ABOUT TO WALK AWAY AND THEN THE BOUNCER GRABS HIM AND TRIES TO FORCEFULLY DRAG MY HUSBAND OUT OF THE BAR, REMIND YOU THAT THE BOUNCER WAS ABOUT 6'7 AND MY HUSBAND IS 5'6 AND DID NOT ATTACK NOR DISRESPECT ANYONE TO DESERVE THAT. AFTER TWO MEN DRAGGED MY HUSBAND OUT FOR NO REASON! THE BOUNCER THAT WAS INITIALLY SPEAKING TO MY HUSBAND DRAGGED HIM OUT TO THE PARKING LOT TO BEAT HIM UP. HE TRIED TO CRUSH MY HUSBAND'S HEAD IN TO THE CEMENT AND ALMOST PUNCHED HIM UNTIL ALL THE WORKERS THERE NEW A LAWSUIT WAS GOING TO BE SET. THE BOUNCER ASSAULTED, TAUNTED AFTER THE FACT, AND EVEN SMIRKED AT US. I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE A BAD PERSONAL LIFE, BUT IF YOU ARE THAT MESSED UP IN THE HEAD TO DO ALL THAT, YOU SHOULDN'T BE WORKING AS A BOUNCER. THIS BOUNCER TOOK IT FROM PROFESSIONAL FOR ABOUT A MINUTE TO PERSONAL WITH MY HUSBAND. OH DID I MENTION I WAS NOT DRUNK, INTOXICATED, NOR DID I MISS ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN THIS SITUATION. I AM ANGRY AND VERY DISGUSTED. AFTER I HAD CALLED THE POLICE AND FILED A POLICE REPORT THE OWNER OR WHOEVER HE WAS DECIDES TO SAY WE APOLOGIZE AND WE KNOW THAT IT WAS IN THE WRONG!! I WAS LIKE, EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE, BUT SUCK MY D***! THIS IS HOW YOU RUN YOUR BUSINESS? THIS IS HOW YOU GET YOURSELF OUT OF BUSINESS! IT IS THE MOST TRASHIEST PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. LUCKILY, THE PHOTOS THAT WERE TAKEN WAS FROM OUR FRIEND THAT IS A PHOTOGRAPHER AND HE CAUGHT IT ALL. IT HAPPENED SO FAST THAT OUT FRIENDS DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON SO HE WAS JUST SHOOTING PHOTOS. IF THERE WAS ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT THIS OUTCOME, IT WOULD BE THEM GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND THAT BOUNCER GOING TO JAIL.
Racist
by michellecourtnee at Citysearch
Very racist and act as if it's a very nice bar when it's not. The bouncers decide who comes in based on your race. They do not like Blacks or Hispanics. Dress code is ridiculous considering this bar isn't even nice. It'd be a different story if it were an actual NICE place. But it's not. Very pathetic bar.
- Pros: None
- Cons: Racist, Arrogant, Dive-bar esque
Horrible Service and Staff
by katepace at Citysearch
We tried to go to this place tonight, but our group was turned away.... Only because we tried to park in a parking spot that was apparently one of many reserved for the owner. Because we were meeting a friend to continue her birthday party, We were good sports and eventually found a parking spot three blocks away and attempted to enter the Slip. The bouncer and six of his buddies came outside to threaten our poor group, made fun of us, and told us to leave. I've got a bad taste for the Slip Inn and would encourage anyone thinking of going here to reconsider.
- Pros: YUK YUK YUK
- Cons: Strung Out Bouncers
Not that great a place buddy:

Use to be a good plae a few years back but the locals have not abandoned the bar and now it's wannabbee's and fake freaks. It's done!
- Pros: There are no pro's here, but some decent drink abound
- Cons: Bad music, Bad DJ's, Assswhole Dooh Men.
