What People Are Saying About Winedale Tavern
The Owner
Winedale Tavern
Owner
Lota opened the doors of this Dallas Icon in 1985 on St. Patrick's Day. Since then, it's taken on a personality of its own. If you are looking for a bar to call "your bar" where everybody is friendly would know your name...or not...The Winedale Tavern is it. Close the door and you could be in Boston in a basement bar, or in Cincinnati as one weary traveler eluded, and another said it looks like a LA beach bar. You decide. The Winedale Tavern really has it all. One of the few smoking establishments left, we have four beers on tap, a pool table, juke box, karaoke and open mic night. For the early birds Longnecks are $1.75 from 7am-10am. If you wear a hat between 2pm-4pm on Saturday and Sunday they will even give you half off your drink. Any drink. Top that. In a nutshell, it's your neighborhood, dive, smoking, beer, karaoke, open mic, great bartenders...It's the best damn tavern in town.

In Short
The Winedale sets itself apart from the Greenville bar scene with a relaxed, no-frills feel. The narrow layout features a small stage inside the door for open-mic nights, when aspiring musicians perform. Two plastic skeletons dangle from novelty cobwebs over the bar in homage to the Grateful Dead. A single spotlit pool table in the rear always has a game going. A wide variety of customers unwind at this pleasant beer-first tavern.

Winedale is very much a neighborhood bar. There are customers who've been there when the doors opened over 20yrs. ago. I'm a regular, one of the youngest granted, and one of the few chicks. But Winedale is like "Cheers"-everybody knows each other and cares for each other! So what if it some perceive the place as a "dive'-Winedale patrons are the most solid of them all! And I'm not kissing up to Lota! But I love her too!

I recently went to this bar by chance, because we were looking for a restaurant. We decided to stop here to have a beer and apetizers here . And it was very good. Too many seats to choose where you want to rest...

I got invited to Winedale Tavern last weekend with a few friends, I was a little skeptical at first because I had heard how small it was, however I had heard it was a great crowd and good music. I do LOVE Dive Bars and Dallas doesn't have very many good Dive's left. If you don't mind a crowded place then I would say check it out anytime. While I was there I ran into some people starting a website they called DallasDiveBars. I guess it's their plan to revitalize the dive bar scene here in Dallas. I can't freaking wait to see what they have to offer, some of the things they said they had planned sound awesome - just what Dallas needs! Check out their site www.DallasDiveBarscom
