The service is amazing. Calvin behind the bar is always quick to get a drink while interacting with the customers. CT DAVIS hosts the best Blues Jam on Wednesdays. Daniel gets all the singers up for karaoke Monday and Thursday.

We only had fries, but they were seasoned so yummy and super hot. The bartender and cook were so fun and sweet! The karaoke host was great, every single singer was just amazing!!! We had the time of our lives!!! I am absolutely in love with this bar, I'm making it my new home- away- from- home! I cannot wait to go back!

I have never had any bad food here. Only rating 3 stars for food cause they are not serving it anymore. Service is always top notch! Calvin and Matchi, in particular. And you will find no better people watching anywhere in DFW!

Not gonna lie, I have a soft spot for this place. Beer selection is very limited but I like what I get. They have a cook come in often and he does a great job, but it’s not a certainty that he’ll be there. Bartenders are great. Now, karaoke, Monday and Thursday, Daniel is one of the best KJs you’ll find and the participation is ludicrously good and wildly varied. I love it and try to get there a couple times if I’m in town on business.

The forum pub has an excellent environment for beer after work. I work close to The Forum Club and go here for drink sometimes. They have pool and great variety of beers. The bartenders are friendly and fun.

Quaint and cozy little hole in the wall. Forecast for tonight....alcohol, low standards and poor decisions! Great service and Bartender is very customer oriented.
