Its really a great music venue! If you have the money book a VIP table early and sit in the front behind the sound board...great seats. If the front two rows are sold out then skip the VIP section and go General Admission. If you do go GA then get their early so you can stand near the stage...its hard to get drinks...but who cares...youre there for the music!The floor manager Mr. Benavides was great and so was our server in the VIP area...they have a button you can push anytime you need a drink or food...yeah and they come quick. Great Service & Great Music...skip the food upstairs and just do the concerts downstairs...thats what this place is really all about.

Excellent venue! One of my favorite.Sound: excellent. From the side of the stage, pit, back at the bars to the seats upstairs... sound is consistent.View: no matter where you are standing the angle of the floor makes the view great. Even the very sides of the front-stage are great without any pushing or shoving needed (if that’s what you prefer).Drinks: Plenty of bars on each side and the bartenders are attentive. They remember you and make sure you are taken care of quickly.Staff at the front is courteous and organized so you are in without a hassle while doing their job correctly.PARKING - be aware that they don’t have their own parking lot. Valet is cheap which may be tempting but the line to get your car after the show is extremely long. There is a public parking under the highway (2-3 minute walk) and cheap.

We went to the Dallas House Of Blues on Friday night. We had a great time. The Texas Blues Men put on an incredible show. The food and drinks were really good. The staff did a great job making it safe from the corona virus. Thank you Ruby for making sure the place was super clean. We will be back soon.

I saw Hanson at The House of Blues on December 9th, 2019 and I had a wonderful experience! The venue is nice and the staff was really friendly. If youve never seen Hanson, Joshua and The Holy Rollers or Paul McDonald live, you should! They absolutely rocked the house!

House of Blues has hosted our Kids Who Rock Camp performances as well as the Talent Shows. It is such a delight to work with professional and nice people. Always very accommodating for our events. A perfect place for the kids to show their talents. We also had a Christmas Holiday show this past 2018. The guests that were not a part of the show enjoyed it as well. Our shows are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!I cannot thank HOB enough for giving the kids a place to SHINE and what a better spot than the House of Blues?? Stay tuned & check the HOB calendar for more performances in 2019 from KIDS WHO ROCK.

Stopped in for dinner before attending the Wale concert. The food and customer service was great. Micah was very attentive and recommended the perfect drink. The show was amazing! We stopped by the Foundation Room after the show and had a blast there also. Overall great venue!

I love this place great people, great atmosphere!! Cant wait to go back.

I have finally made it to this place after hearing about it for months. I have to say that it did not disappoint,Great drinks,food and remarkable customer service. The shows are more intimate so you never have to worry if you get lost in the crowd. I definitely plan to visit again,the first impression was memorable!

Looks good place to me cause I havent been this place yet. I just love to take pictures so posted the pic that i clicked. But I heard lots of good things about this place. I will be visiting this place someday for sure.

I’ve been several times to HOB. Each time has been great! Love the restaurant, the food and employees. Everyone is friendly. Concert venue is cool too...I’ve never been a fan of standing room til I started coming to HOB. It’s fun! Can’t wait to go back!Great service! Good drinks and food. The cookie desert was delicious!The Halloween Bash was in the foundation room. Different areas had different DJ’s, Music. Fun night!

Loved performing here. The juicy Lucy burger is the bomb! Great staff and very helpful and knowledgeable security, sound techs and bar staff. Cant wait to play here again.

Everytime I have been is for concerts, but it is a clean and safe venue! Food is good too, tad pricey for some though. Also a great location in the city.

As a small concert venue this place rocks. IT ONLY seats/stands about 2,500 crazy concert fans. If your more our age and have the money and the means I strongly suggest to pay the extra and sit in the VIP section. You get table side call service of good food and a wide selection of alcoholic beverages brought to you by friendly hostesses. If I was still in my 20s or 30s Id got for the very reasonably priced standing room only on the floor, but Im 50 so VIP for me.Sound is great, food is good, Beer is cold. Air Conditioning is great too. Sound is better then the autistics at Dos Equis Pavilion.

It was great. You cant necessarily control the half drunk girls getting in your space, but the service and acoustics were great. Their security team actually does their job well and makes it feel safe. they wouldnt even let a keychain knife in.

I visited The House Of Blues the other night. Three words came sum up my experience. Small intimate venue. I really have nothing negative to say. For the most part it was clean, the staff was polite and over all, it was a very pleasurable experience. The artist had the bass turned up just a tad to high, however again it was a good and memorable experience.

Cool venue. Drinks are overpriced, as expected I guess, but they are really, really overpriced here. Wine, beer, liquor all same price...no matter the flavor, so you may as well order whatever you like best. Stage is a bit hard too see if its super crowded. They do pull in some good talent though.

Awesome place, best venue for concerts in Dallas, drinks are expensive. The pit is cool but get comfortable shoes, balcony is the best to enjoy a concert. Parking is hard sometimes, take your time. Doors are always open so no rush. Overall HOB is a tradition and warranty of a good time

Great venue for a concert. The VIP seats are worth it. You get a table and a server and room to move around without being in General admission mosh pit. That’s good for the kids, but if your older, it’s nice to be comfortable. Saw St. Motel, they put on a fun show!

This is not just a concert venue and awesome restaurant but also a great space for special events! We love all the rooms available for meetings, weddings, tastings, social gatherings, and more! Its a place like no other!

The best venue in DFW to watch a concert. Food is amazing

Great experience. Sat in the second level. Great view and acoustics. My only recommendation would be to upgrade the video. The screen that shows the performance is very grainy and out of date. Bar tenders, servers, host, etc...ALL FRIENDLY. This was our first time. Loved it.

This is the first concert that I have attended here and the experience was pretty good. The bar tenders and waitstaff were great. Valet was great dropping off, but picking up at the end of the night took a long time.

Love the restaurant service and its Foodme and my son visited last Saturday June June 20 2020 the restaurant we ordered 2 gumbos, one burger and one chicken with shrimp pasta... everything was delicious we ended ordering 2 more burgers to go, fries are included and are the best in the area. also is important to mention that is one of the most clean restaurant in the metroplex ...the tables are previously disinfected properly and all personnel wears its masks and there is sanitizer gels on each table. Food is very abundant on each order, you can also order to go.special thanks to Ruby M. she cleaned the boot where we sat originally since we decided to move to a table, she right away came and cleaned it........all is perfectly clean.

The atmosphere is relaxed and the food was really good, I had the Mac n Cheese with Buffalo strips, healthy portions too, staff was friendly as well. I would recommend it to friends that want to be in a more relaxed atmosphere for dinner, take a walk around to see the art hanging on the walls too.

In heaven, baby back ribs are nearly this good. Order the Mac and cheese. Real stuff with pasta that is not smooshy like most places and real, actually real, cheese.Cole slaw is bad. Corn bread is great. The hurricane is better than I found in New Orleans. The staff is super good.Music was great also. And live music is what made me choose the place!Btw, skip the bread pudding, just too sweet.

Nice venue, slightly confusing to get into. Similar on the inside to the Houston venue and easy to navigate once inside! A random security guy laughed at me when I was trying to get inside and I don’t know why...still stress about it to this day.

Love this venue. Seen several acts here over the years. The venue never disappoints. Been both below and in seats above. Both work nicely.

Was there for a concert. Had an asthma/anxiety attack and the staff helped me get to a place with fresh air and fewer people. Stayed with me until I was able to take care of myself. One of the men that carried me out even came back after I was alright just to be sure Id be able to travel safely on my own. Great people and awesome venue.

Standing room with a little vip area with tables. Pretty big venue with room for lots of people. The only thing that really sucked is the price for drinks. Really fun to walk around after or before a show though lots of places to eat and do in this area.

Had a blast there back in June. My girlfriend amd I saw empire of the sun. Loved the service and the atmosphere.

First time at a House of Blues and was pleasantly surprised. I guess I had my biases towards a chain branded venue. Dallas location is pretty neat with nice decor and great looking theater. Ill have to check out the restaurant next time.

One of our favorite places to enjoy live music. Weve seen several great bands here. Train, Def Leggend, and Back and Black to name a few. We always get floor tickets but its standing room only. They do offer a sitting area but its in the upper balcony. The action is on the floor for sure.

My son had an amazing experience.. Seeing his all time favorite artist K. Michelle was an experience he will never forget...

Place has a nice atmosphere. Food looks good but came out luke warm and lacked flavor sadly. For music I would come. Not for food though. Service was nice and friendly.

What a delightful place. Love the open mic nights. The hamburgers are delicious. Went to see Mary Lambert in concert there. Very organized. Its worth paying for the $15 valet, plus tip. The concert hall is lacking bar stool tables to be able to enjoy your drink. They love service dogs.

Fantastic venue! Lots of personality. Super Diverse overall with the restaurant and Music Hall. We just hosted a corporate event with 60 people in the Cambridge room. They knocked it out of the park. The planning, staff and accommodations were absolutely perfect. Not to mention the catering from the house kitchen - food was great.

If you love rock n roll or metal, this is the place for you! The beers fantastic too. Also, the seating is great and if u prefer standing closer to the stage youve got that option otherwise you can enjoy the show from the comfortable seats on the balcony. The bar counters behind there as well. All in all HOB hosts amazing concerts..!

The house of blues is a very interesting place to have a meal and/or watch a show. Its well located in Dallas center with good access and some parking zones in the surrounding area. It has a peculiar decoration that I believe is common within the house of blues franchising. The sound quality of the arena is very good. A nice place to have a good time and enjoy good music.

Justin Lopez put on a great event, the Bourbon street soiree. Great showcase of the vendors that can be book for House of Blues events.

Whos Bad. They are one of the best. All MJ fans will enjoy the show.

Update 1/9/19 - So after posting my original review below, the management of HOB responded to my review and asked that I send my contact information so they can reach out to me. Initially I thought that was nice of them to want to discuss some of the issues we faced on our visit. I promptly sent them my contact info ( twice) but I am yet to hear back from them. Now I’m thinking it was just something they did to appear like they care.So disappointed!!!Original reviewWife and I went to experience some live music and dinning on a Tuesday night. The music was great and definitely set the atmosphere, Ladarius played a wide variety of songs. The food and drinks however were a different story. First off we ordered a drink called “Royal Orleans” which was supposed to be crown royal apple, ginger,lime and mint. It tasted more like ginger ale with a splash of lime and mint. I tasted not crown royal in my drink. So we sent it back and got beer instead. The bar tender was defiantly not trying to have my wife and I turn up on a Tuesday! For the food we ordered the Smokehouse special with brisket and chicken. The flavor was ok but the brisket was a bit on the dry side and the portions of beans and slaw were quite small. And to add insult to injury the next morning my wife and I both had upset stomachs.

Great food, Great drinks, Awesome staff....but the valet parking took this review down a bit. The wait for our car was almost 2 hrs and you would think that the House of Blues would let their paying guest wait inside while their car car pulls in... Not the case over 100 people waiting outside in the 25 degree weather. DO NOT GET VALET PARKING unless the weather is nice and you dont mind the wait.

I had the best time at this bar.. Taylor made my experience amazing !!! 10/10 would recommend coming here. The food was bomb. I loved everything about it. ️

Best freaking night!!!! I love this venue, it’s nice and intimate. Totally allows for a badass rock out saw Scott Stapp 7/13/19 and had all the feels! Was not disappointed and already for another show! Messer was also pretty badass!

Great venue, bands can be great or mediocre but at last there is someone always playing. The food is really good but prepare your wallet, likewise for drinks. The staff has always been cheery and happy to help, no complaints except the bathrooms in the venue look like bathrooms at a concert hall.. Go check it out, and eat the bread pudding!

We went to the House of Blues Dallas for grunge fest.We arrived early to eat first. The entire restaurant staff from the Waitress ( Crystal ? ) I hope I’m right. - the Floor manager - and Chef made the experience fantastic. I also want to to compliment the valet. Aerial went above the call of duty to help with a situation I had not related to Valet itself.Thanks to everyone at HOB Dallas for a great night.

Awesome venue. Saw Dallas natives The Odd Folks and Motion City Soundtrack. Has a VIP section that is behind the standing room crowd so keep that in mind if you go with the VIP experience and front row just means the first row of tables. Still, had a great view of the stage and thoroughly enjoyed the show! 10/10 would go again!

Great show space,piss poor restaurant service.1hr 10 minutes to get food for 2 people - both ordered dinner salads. Meat cold - Food room temperature. Not enough valet staff for exiting.PS - Look at the response from the owner as lack-luster. So go for the show, you will have a great time. Beautiful areas for pics.DONT EVEN STEP INTO THAT RESTAURANTon a show night. Owners response is the perfect rep of the restaurant service.No depth to it. Reads like a copy & paste script.

From the members only club to the main stage this venue has a lot to offer. Great work by the sound crew as this and all shows here have incredible balance.

Wonderful upstairs location for a business mixer. Classy yet comfortable with relaxing lighting. The bartenders were very attentive and mixed exactly what you asked for, whether cocktail or mocktail. I highly recommend The House of Blues!

The staff are so nice! They were very welcoming. ️ I enjoyed the drinks and music events performed here. Just overall a great experience!

Had an absolutely amazing time at Elle Varners concert, but I dont think I want to come to this place because there is no parking. I ended up paying almost 40 dollars for parking on a night out. Doesnt make any sense. Best bet is to share a ride or uber/lyft to this place. I had fun bur was absolutely livid at the end of the night. They should make better provision or whatever. This is the reason I really dont go to this spot, except on nights of concerts.

I came here to see Danity Kane on a Saturday evening. The wait at the valet was much, much longer than expected. It looked like only one person was working. Thankfully my experience changed immediately after entering the building. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.The bartenders know how to pour a drink.My experience was soured back at the valet. Once again a long wait.

Always good food and great entertainment every time we visit. Lots of fun!!

Great venue for music, mini concert atmosphere and fun.

Great venue. Packed on entry and exit but things moved quickly. Floor and upper deck options. Great sound. Clean restrooms!

By far the best house of blues we have been too! We live in Houston and in all honesty we prefer to come here! They make you feel welcomed and are always on point! Rich the manager is super friendly and welcoming!

Great place to watch a show. Can see well from pretty much any where and there are multiple bars to grab a drink at. The restaurant has better than average food as well and usually also has live music.

Removing my 5 star rating. Im very upset that I was asked to leave because I had my concealed weapon. The only signage they have displayed is No unlicensed weapons allowed...... I was then told unless I was a cop I cant have my weapon on me. There are many professionals that are issued weapons and not all cops. Correct your signage to properly display the policies you want, Ive used this location for many family dinners and buisness meetings, not anymore though Ill bring my clients and my buisness elsewhere from now on.

Came here last night for a concert. Had an amazing time. Grabbed a bite to eat at the restaurant. The food was delicious. I had the brisket nachos and they had lots of flavor which I loved. Drinks were really good as well. Highly recommend the restaurant and venue. Will definitely return. Thank you for an amazing time!!

HOB Dallas, duh. Youre going to have a good time.

The House of Blues was a lot of fun. The food and music was great. The valet was a complete mess! In my friends car the valet left the doors unlocked and the keys in her car. The staff was not helpful. It took over 30 minutes to get my vehicle. Other people waited longer than us. This part took away from the fun we had

This place is a lot of fun. Ive been going for years and seen many headliners along with less popular bands I love. Love how they keep the small venue feeling but rarely run out of tickets. Highly reccomend not getting seats but instead enjoying the show down in the standing room, way more energy and a better experience down there.

I went to see the Asia on Tour and it was a wonderful experience. The organization was great and the place was secure. Unfortunately, i did not get to taste the food but their beverages were good. My friends and i had a great time and we parked right behind the venue. Around the area is very bright even at midnight hours. Overall wonderful experience.

One of the best venues in Dallas. Always booking great bands and the balcony seating is great if it doesnt sell out too quick. Drinks are pricey like normal at music venues. Great atmosphere and sound! Also, their restaurant is pretty good or check out Buzz Brews across the street. Great food and beer selection at good prices.

By far the best house of blues we have been too! We live in Houston and in all honesty we prefer to come here! Lauren and Paige behind the bar are outstanding and make amazing drinks! They make you feel welcomed and are always on point! Rich the manager is super friendly and welcoming! Totally recommend this place

Cool place. Good food. Weak drinks, as expected. Hope to see a show there next time Im in Dallas.

Awesome environment! We went to the foundation room for an after party. The bar service was great. Little pricey and the bartenders were ready to go when it was closing time. When they say last call, they mean it! No time to fiddle fart around lol. Van full of nuns knows how to put on an amazing show!!

The VIP at this venue truly is a five star experience! They will take care of you all night long the drinks a great and fairly price. They bring acts from every genre every day of the week. Highly recommend seeing a concert here VIP or not its a great place to see a show.

Saw the Cult there. The sound was pretty good. It was pretty packed. Had to stand where we couldnt see too well.

Had a badass time and the atmospherev was perfect, writing this a little late my apologies

Ive been to several shows here; Nationally known artists, local acts, and great cover bands. Great venue for smaller shows where you can feel more connected with the artists. 2 lower level bars; Separate bar for balcony seating. Quick bites are available from the bar too.

Love this venue for shows and food. Its a great time all around. The recently went straw free. With all this geat service, cool shows, tasty beverages, and yummy bites-it cant be a bad time!

I love house of blues I love live music and they come thru in the city with the concerts. Lyfe Jennings... Tamar... Monica....Wale...Elle varner.... India Arie I come thru for my r&b folk

Lauren and Riley were legit the BEST bartenders ever! Great service hands down! Awesome food and drinks! I had the Cadillac margarita and yardbird and it did not disappoint! Cheers

With GPS running, its easy to get to this venue but if you are valet parking I suggest using the address in ParkWhiz (app). This address will pull you right up to valet instead of having you drive in circles around HoBs. The venue itself is really interesting, set up with food, merchandise and bars. Really good acoustics in an intimate setting.

All I can say is wow, I went to the All Black party, the guest was very sexy, the bat bar service was on point, the dj killed it, great party

Great venue. Great sound system. The staff was friendly and looked overworked. The place was packed and busy.Drinks are over priced.I would only go back if there was a band/comedian/artist I REALLY wanted to see.

I love this venue. Good bartenders and great acoustics. Parking is the only hassle. I usually park a couple blocks down in a parking garage.

Great place to see a show. Beer is more expensive than Jerry world. But it’s to be expected at a concert. Loved the GA seating and being able to get close to the stage! Will be back

Great venue for a concert. Alcohol drinks are definitely outrageous but is expected in a venue as such. Parking can get crazy if youre not sure where to park but there is a garage right across the street unless you valet.

Ive been to five or six shows here this Summer alone and Im always impressed with the venue. The downstairs area has three large bar areas and a beer cart, so Ive never had to wait long to get a cocktail or beer. Cocktails are surprisingly affordable for a music venue, and the price of beer is about what youd expect. My double shots of Makers Mark currently cost $13, and a 24oz. domestic beer is $12.There is always plenty of security at the shows and the events feel safe and well organized. Metal detectors and wands are outside the entrance and there is an abundance of security inside the venue.The acoustics are fine, and the in house stage lights are fantastic.This is a great place to see concerts and is always a much better experience than the fair park amphitheater -- it is obviously much, much smaller. Sign up for their mailing list and you may even receive up to six free tickets to their less popular shows.

DMX was everything!!!! The problem is the House of Blues tactics. The tickets read 8pm. But when we came to dinner at the HOB and asked what time does the show start., staff said 930pm, hence 90 minutes of wasted time. There was a local person and then DMX tonthe stage. DMX WAS AWESOME. WE drive 4 hours to the concerts and would do it again. DMX FOREVER!!!! The food was good. We made it in time for Happy Hour

Its okay for small venue. The food and cocktails were good with friendly staff, but I wouldnt come back for a concert. Extremely unorganized. Seemed like no one knew what was going on. I paid an extra $250 for a VIP table and still couldnt see since people were allowed to stand directly in front of our table.

Atmosphere is great. Not small but not huge either. There is a full bar on both levels. No matter where you sit to watch a concert, its a good seat.

I have never eaten here, so cant speak of the food. But, as a concert venue...my only complaint is that most of the middle part of the venue is VIP tables and the sound production area, giving limited options for viewing without obscurities, unless your there early enough for the show or want to fight your through crowd for front viewing. Other than that clean bathrooms, well staffed and plenty of bar/beverage areas with short waits.

Great venue for music! Founders Room is nice to chill of you roll like that. I would for sure suggest catching some music shows at HOB Big D. I dont really suggest it for a comedy venue though. Just my opinion.

This was a great experience! We were on the 3rd row for a concert and it was amazing. However we walked around before the show and there are no bad seats or standing spots! The guys checking bags and doing the metal detectors were very nice and had a sense of humor, too. Great experience!

There was an incident with their security staff that they contracted out for the event I went to on 10.6 to see hobo Johnson, but aside from that, this is my favorite venue in the US. Hands down the best stages, unique architecture and amazing staff. This venue does not disappoint. Don is the manager there and he’s also amazing. He took care of my issue promptly and made it right. We will be back.

The venue was way better than I expected. Its a small but not cramped space, excellent sound. One of the best venues in DFW without a doubt.

I had the most amazing experience with my friend. The entire staff took care of us with VIP type service. The host Andi was very welcoming and gave us an awesome tour of the facility. Our server Sydney was amazing, she was very attentive and gave great service. Rosa the manager was also very welcoming and friendly. We definitely will be coming back for another visit. Try their country fried steak, its delicious.

Had a great time seeing Owl City there and it was Abby the bartender who helped make it better than it would have been because of her positive and pleasant attitude, shes abby-solutely the best!

Went to see Hair Nation. All the seats are good. Really good venue.

Great venue with low hassle. Never had a problem with parking nearby in the lot under the bridge. Lots of great artists play here, and also burlesque shows upstairs.

Been a while since Ive been here. Tonights show was really good. The bands were off the chain. I wont wait too long before my next visit.

1st time at the HOB. Went there for a concert. Big restaurant with full size bar and a souvenir shop and what impressed me the most is the underground concert stadium! My friend had crutches on so even if we bought tickets for stand-up only, we were given seats without extra charge! The staff went out of their way to make our experience much more enjoyable. After the concert, we went to the Powder Room that has a Moroccan decor to it and I went dancing even if my friend couldnt. The DJ played some good tunes! We had a great time at the HOB.

Ive always enjoyed HOBs concerts and the environment there, be it a little bit strange at times, that said, I went to dinner there the other night and they have definitely stepped things up a few notches! If you have Not had the shrimp tacos, do yourself a solid and try them? Make sure you ascertain the level of heat that is amenable to your taste buds tho, cause they are going to be hot! I had them with a cold iced tea and it was pure heaven on a plate. The music was just right for the atmosphere and the service was impeccable. Kudos to HOB and the restaurant and the restaurant staff. See you guys soon for sure

We purchased tickets to Alejandro months ago. We contacted them to ask about ADA accommodations. We communicated four different times and were told there is no seating at all for general admission. There wasn’t anything we could find online about it. So, We didn’t go to the concert or dinner before. About 30 minutes before the concert, I received a message from a friend that was currently at the concert sitting in the balcony AND there were plenty of seats. I’m furious about it. One of the women we spoke with was extremely rude as well. I’m hoping for a refund but I doubt that will happen. In any case, I’ll never visit this venue. Too bad it won’t make a difference.Update: we never heard back about what show we opted for in replacement. Nice job

Great venue, went to the City Morgue concert and the place was packed. Crazy mosh pits and lots of sweating, had to step outside a couple times to cool down a bit and take a break.

The best HOB I have been to. The standing area is not cramped like so many other places and the stage is ellavated so you can see even if a tall person is blocking your view.
