Nice small venue for local bands and some big hits to roll through. Good sized dance area, wonderful bar with lots of options and friendly bartenders. Patio is spacious, comfortable and you can see the stage from most of it allowing you to enjoy the show from outdoors and away from the crowd if desired.
Cool place, has two stages, one outside one inside. Both can be going at the same time without interference which was awesome. Could bounce between two shows easily. Outside didnt appear to have heaters of any kind so bring a jacket during cold months!
Fantastic! Great ambience! Located in a fun, kitchy part of town. Went there from Albuquerque to see Screaming Females - it was the perfect up close and personal venue! Bartenders were very pleasant and smiley. Highly recommended!
Great small place for intimate live music. Saw Amigo the Devil here and was blown away. Nice patio area also.
Good drinks but this place is one of the best to see a band before they make it big. If an artist you’re interested in has a show here make sure to go! You’ll regret not going!
Best small venue in Deep Ellum! Outdoor patio was to die for, cant wait till season comes for outdoor concerts. Good drink prices as well!
The first time I went to Club Dada it was great! The second time, I went with some friends to see Don Broco for my birthday about a year from the first time I went. Well, there were a lot more people the second time and I started to get a little claustrophobic due to the fact that we were all squished in like sardines. A friend got me a cup of cold water and I had to bend down to keep from falling over. I stood up so that I could go to the back of the venue to get some more air and one of the security guards yanked me by the arm and pulled me through the crowd AWAY FROM MY FRIENDS and wouldn’t listen to me when I was telling me that I wasn’t drunk or causing a scene and he took my water, chunked it in the trash and literally threw me out into the street. I will NEVER go back to this place.
Friendly bar tenders, show was awesome. And they had a delicious food truck outside.
Went for Plan B Burlesques Oz themed show. Enjoyable but venue isnt well suited for a theatrical production. Patio area is really nice.
From out of town. Stopped in to check it out. Great music. Meet some amazing people. Down side only has two bathrooms
I went to see Kota The Friend at Club Dada the other night. Nice size dance floor, good drink prices, friendly bar staff, and a very spacious back patio with lots of seating. My one and only complaint was the bathroom was disgusting! Urinal was leaking water in the floor. Lets just say I waited until after the entire show to use the restroom. Fix that problem and its almost perfect!
The music is always good. The drinks ain’t too bad either.
Best spot to go & get down especially when Faded Deejays get down. Also Battlegrounds (Dance event) every second Thurs of the month! Check it out!!
The bathroom situation is unfortunate. Went to see she past away and the lines extended in to the crowd lmfao. Bartenders were nice.
Its lit lol. Good times. Had a good night for my first time ever going out since i moved here.
Nice small venue for local bands and some big hits to roll through. Good sized dance area, wonderful bar with lots of options and friendly bartenders. Patio is spacious, comfortable and you can see the stage from most of it allowing you to enjoy the show from outdoors and away from the crowd if desired. Only negative are the bathrooms, of which there are only two and both are single serving unisex so lines are inevitable. Hope more bands I like roll through this place in the future.
I saw mystery skulls tonight. Staff was amazing and very kind. Gave us free water the whole show. Loved the atmosphere. Really hot but such a great location
They afe rude af i asked what drinks they have and this lil vitch gone pour me a drink that i didn’t want . Didnt want to serve me after . Rude and ignorant.
One of my Fav Clubs to hang out Its good place to have some good timewith nice music and smoke Lol u know what i mean ;) :p
Fun place, there is always atmosphere, full of people most of the time so yeah is a great place to hang out with friends and to meet and make new ones.
Good music good energy
This place is great for intimate concerts unless its summertime. Then it gets really hot in there.
Fun stuff. Good old school rap music
Went here for a concert. Other than the bartenders being really great, this place sucks. It was hot as hell and the bathroom was disgusting. One bathroom? Really? Whose idea was that?
Small amd best club. Has good vibes.
Dada is probably my favorite venue in Dallas! Love this place. Intimate, comfortable, good vibes, and the staff is always real nice.
$17 long island. Yeah not ideal to say the least, but that DJ was KILLING (If you like hip hop)!!!!!
Nice place but lots of body heat. Good drinks and location is great
Excellent music venue. Great little casual gem in Deep Ellum that books some great talent.
Saw Sateen and Mr Twin Sister here. Had great drinks and a great time! LOVE the outdoor patio
Men I Trust was phenomenal. This venue is intimate and not too cramped. Great if youre looking for a relaxed vibe.
Great spot for a show. Have booked many shows and attended many shows here. Easy to get to and great environment.
Destroyer sounded great the other night
Love Dada.. good intimate venue for bands.. only 1 bathroom since the last time I was there.. it can get a bit busy..
Favorite venue I’ve ever been to. Small and intimate so you get to experience your favorite artist up close and personal.
I love small venues in general and it was my first time going to this one a couple weeks ago when I saw foxing at south by so what, and the acoustics and very personal in your face atmosphere were right up my alley. However it gets five stars MAINLY BECAUSE THEY HAD A SELF SERVE WATER JUG WITH DISPOSABLE CUPS RIGHT BY THE BAR and too many venues fail to make cold free water easily accessible enough to ensure the audience stays hydrated and healthy and I was so happy to see this venue was on top of that issue.
Fantastic patio. And a great venue.
Saw Amy Shark here. AC went out but that didn’t distract from the amazing personal experience. It’s a cool single room club with a back patio and there were probably only 60 people at the concert. It has a really chill vibe. Would recommend to anyone looking for a truly local experience.
Packed house but it was a great time!
This venue was great. It has a small stage, the engineer knows what hes doing, and the drink prices are reasonable. I was there when it was cold but the outside area seemed like a great spot during good weather. Last, but not least, the bathrooms are the cleanest bathrooms Ive seen in a music venue. For it being such a small stage they get some good artists come through. Definitely a must see.
Great venue, small club for those intimate settings. Free water at the end of the bar. And spirits if your feeling up for it. Did have a fight outside the bar. Buts its deep ellum, no matter how much you clean it up. Theyll always be that lovely grim about the streets. Thats what makes it magical.
Had a great time here seeing and getting to meet one of my favorite bands (Dead Sara). Other reviews are correct regarding the lack of A/C, the two individual bathrooms, and expensive but small drinks (cocktails). I would still return to see a favorite band. Bring Cash -Parking is typical Deep Ellum.
Bea Miller was killing it tonight. I remember when she was a starry eyed 13 year old on Xfactor. Now she is a polished professional. Amazing show !!!
Went there July 7th for the Mystery Skulls concert, and I was very pleased with the state of the building, clean, ventilated during the preshow and after show. The back patio area is beautiful and worth a sit down.
Enjoyed the place. Some djs are better than most. Great r&b and hip-hop vibes. I lost my watch and I tried to contact them. No phone and no response to emails. They need to improve that.
I have seen several shows here and its always been a great venue. Its intimate and the stage is in a pretty good place. They have a patio out back thats cool and the bar is pretty easy to get to. The drink pricing and specials are good. Its nice to see whiskey on sale. I cant imagine seeing a bad show here.
Always a good time when you make something of it. It can be hit or miss.
Went on 1/18/19, DJs that night were good, drinks and prices were great. Looked to only have 2 unisex restrooms and they had long lines. I luckily went into one that had a urinal and a dude got in behind me and went to the toilet. I would recommend adding a trough urinal in that one and making it a male restroom.
Awesome venue! Great shows!
Free af. Lit at. ALWAYS!!Smoking on Patio!
Went to see Haley Reinhardt. What a great venue! Really enjoyed it!
The bands that play here are good but the sound system is under powered and the lighting needs to improve for the shows big time.. Drinks are very expensive as well
Fun venue for a show.
Intimate venue with nice patio area outside.
A great place to see artists in an intimate venue
Fun place to be for small concerts. But, they need to invest in better air conditioning. The place was sweltering. They had to put giant fans just to have a whisper of air. Opening the back door did not help as the summer hot air overwhelmed the space.
Club Dada is a cozy venue for your favorite up and coming band! Wheelchair accessible, friendly bartenders, and drink prices that are fantastic compared to other music venues in DFW. Be sure to buy tickets early to avoid sell-outs or at-the-door prices.
Great venue! Sold out show but still plenty of room to walk around, one of the best shows we have ever went to! I will definitely be back!
Good people and music. Oh, and usually no cover!
Cool venue, smaller so it has an intimate feel
The concert (Middle Kids) was awesome - 5-stars - however Club Dada shut their AC off when the concert began (it was still 90* + outside), and it soon became a sweltering oven inside; making it extremely uncomfortable and difficult to enjoy the show.BAD business (and hospitality) decision!!!
This is a fantastic venue for a intimate show! I saw Grandson play here and I hope more of my favorite bands play here in the future.
A nice venue for small artists!
Had a blast at a show here, neat bar. Dope stage set up.
Its a decent place nothing too exciting. Pretty good acts come through though
Saw Mystery Skulls and the music was bumpen. Gotta say though, the heat was too much. We were DRENCHED by the time the concert was over.
The staff was great. The sound system has some bugs but the back patio was nice.
Best venue in Deep Ellum
Very small intimate venue. Nice back patio, quick bar service.
Staff used to be nice. this time the staff was quite rude and didnt use words to explain what they needed. they didnt even use physical cues like children do. bathroom lock was sticky. no mirror. there were only one of those huge, refillable gallon soaps. no pump or dispenser. one big industrial fan that blew minimal air. everyone was actually going towards the direction of the fan rather than getting close to see the band. the new sign at the bar just doesnt look right. it looks like its meant to be 60s but nothing else matches with it, like they dont have an official logo, or even name for that matter (club dada or dada dallas?) homeless people hanging out in the side alley. not necessarily the venues fault but security could definitely protect that area. the outside porch that connects to a restaurant is very uneven and I would imagine anyone drinking too much would definitely fall and bust a tooth easily. the water provided is sweaty tap. they came in huge unsanitary buckets. no ice because it melted from it being so hot in there. I dont know what happened, it used to be a really nice venue.
Went for a Knox Hamilton concert and really loved the small venue, offered free water and the place was organized and clean. Cool place and overall wonderful experience.
Sometimes you go right in, sometimes you wait outside on line for no reason past doors time for no reason... While its 40 degrees outside. Usually cheap tickets though, and the bar is always friendly.
I was really surprised that this venue is able to be open...only one bathroom for all of your guests?? At the end of the night there were guys peeing on the wall...terrible!
Really like this venue. Keep in mind standing room only inside however there are picnic tables and an outdoor stage you can sit on. Its not overcrowded inside the only wait was for the restrooms. One last tidbit, the drinks are a little on the pricey side.
Enjoyed a good show beer too pricey
They have an open setting. The back patio had lots of seating. Great selection of beer to include crafts of all types. Music was good as well. Parking was difficult but its for the entire area. They do not have food.
Good sound system. Professional staff.
Very small venue, moderately clean but an overall fun experience.
Went to see Leikeli47...had a great time, but they need some air in there. I was so hot...I was sweating and I wasnt doing anything. Lol
What can I say? One of the last real deep ellum spots that represents what this neighborhood has to offer. The shows here range from artpop, punk, rock, rap and all in between but what this place has in common is passion. This is a club that says “screw this bs, and let’s actually just play some music”. I have been going to dada half of my life and every time I enjoy being here and listening to the sounds from the stage. Just a good spot. The patio is huge and awesome. Check it out between acts
Drinks were cheap. Music was just set in one genre tho.
I went to see Dennis Lloyd here . It wasnt too crowded they even had the back door open to where it wouldnt get too hot! Their stage is higher set to where even if youre stuck in the way back you can still see everything so clear! The tall boy beers werent pricey at all! Restroom was a little unkept but that seriously was the ONLY thing about this place that bothered me. Everything else and the atmosphere was an expirence to def remember for seeing one of my FAVE ARTISTS!!!
Great place for live music!
