Some of the employees are a little gruff or abrasive about the COVID rules, but I appreciate most of the friendly staff especially JACOB!! Aside from that, the food selections are reasonable and structured along with the drink specials...I love the friendly, uplifting, fun, and open-minded patrons and its fun to jam to the jukebox music or mingle onto the patio where you can rip that damn mask off! I will be a regular here for now on!!

There are Gay institutions in every cosmopolitan city and Jr’s would be it for Dallas. Always open, always fun, and always a good cocktail. I’m a main bar person, because I love the bar staff, but I encourage walking around. Great place to meet people visiting and the locals.

I loved this place very much. My go-to bar

They charge me $32 for 2 Vegas bomb that’s unacceptable.. I ask my uncle which he’s a frequently customer and he said they charge me for 4 drinks !Marcus .H. Was the bartender!!

Came in and had to hit dogs food was great but service sucked and tried numerous times to get a bartenders attention ... I guess that I didnt order alcohol im less to them I dont know ... No one came to ask how was the food and no one refilled my drink ... Great people great bar bad service didnt fill welcomed was ignored by bartenders the last 30 mins... Doubt Ill be back.

I go here all the time with my boyfriend! I know what he really wants and the drink specials help me through it!

Went for the Ru Pauls Drag Race tour after party. Had a great time! Drink prices were great, good energy to the place, and everyone was very nice! Would go again..... and again.... and again!

Absolutely LOVE coming here, especially in the early afternoons. Great people, fantastic music and Stu makes the best drinks in town.

Great drinks. Awesome shows. Good people. Best bartenders! My favorite? Candace!! Also, damn good veggie burger

Awesome people....

Great place to start out and good drinks at good prices.

With low-priced drinks on an early evening, the bar attracts a regular crowd with a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. Yet my experience with my bartender was detached and bored. After striking up a conversation with a fellow bar customer, we asked him twice for some simple advice on shopping in the area. Each time he said “I really don’t know” while staring into his phone. (It wasn’t very busy). Overall an underwhelming customer experience.

I was in there Tuesday night for my boyfriends drag performance. I bought 2 shiners and tipped 2 bucks and saw after I left the bartender charged me 3.50 for the tip. 3 stars because I love the queens but c’mon don’t steal my money.

JRs is usually my go-to spot on the weekends!I feel at home every time Im in there, very welcoming atmosphere.The bar staff is excellent, and their drinks are reasonably priced.They have a small downstairs patio, as well as an amazing upstairs area!Definitely check out JRs if youre looking for a fun bar in Dallas.

JRs has amazing bartenders and staff. Very reasonable pricing for drinks, and the hamburgers are delicious.

I was treated so horribly by a bartender named MARCUS! When we asked him for a specific drink he looked at us as if we were speaking a foreign language. I then tried to explain to him the drink we were asking for and he says “idk what you’re talking about what do you want from me”...i then broke down exactly what goes in the drink and he looked at me with a disturbed face saying he doesn’t know what I’m talking about with an attitude. It was simple... vodka with cucumber but he had a problem serving us. I’ve been coming to JR’s for YEAAARS and I’ve never experienced someone with such attitude and no desire to serve us and make money. His body language and demeanor was extremely distasteful and they lost a long time customer. I wish this didn’t happen because i lovED that place but they lost a faithful customer. You guys need to work on customer service or get rid of the employees who don’t know anything about customer service. Such a sad day...

Depending on the night. This bar can be fun. Pool tables, great upstairs patio of the strip. Candice always makes good drinks at the bar. Music is a hit or miss.

This place has always been very accepting every time I go here. When you follow the rules that an establishment has in place, most people have a wonderful time. If you try to ignore standards that are in place for a reason, which are clearly posted prior to entering, then you might have a bad time.In short, have fun here and follow the rules! If you dont care for the rules, you have many other options in Dallas!

Love Stu! Best bartender in Dallas!

I moved to Dallas 6 years ago and I’ve explored many entertainment venues and I have to say that It didn’t take Tamar to say this place has some racial tension in the air. I can say I waited at bar while other patrons walked right up and served immediately. Several times I was looked over and server acted like I wasn’t there. I ended up having a white friend order for me and decided it wasn’t worth my time!! I won’t go back!! I’ve never lived in a city where there is so much racial divide.

I don’t get it. Most bartenders are sweethearts usloy, stewie, Danny, but We come here to spend money and have a good time not to be talked to like trash. The guy angel yelled at me across the bar (not even his section) said not to throw things in trash behind the bar because he doesn’t like that and I left out the curse words!! If I’m spending money I don’t expect to be treated like that or be cursed out. I’ve never gone to him as a bartender but after being yelled at and feeling this uncomfortable I don’t want to be here while he’s bartending. Customer service is key. And that’s not what I got from him. But I guess he must be part owner to be able to talk to clients the way he spoke to me

I love this bar, the staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is safe and welcoming.

Fun, 2-level, bar with cheap drinks and great service. They have an awesome Sunday Funday and always have popcorn popped. 2 pool tables and a DJ booth help make anyone feel comfortable. A small outdoor area and more of a club vibe on the upper level. Never a dull time!

Who doesnt like JRs!? Friendly bartenders, good drinks, normal prices. Go visit.

Excellent staff! Drinks are the best on the block! Great atmosphere for anyone throughout the week!

I usually love jr’s But my last visit not so much. We got at the bar and started playing pool, we were still mid game with drinks we had just gotten. I wasn’t not aware that y’all close at 2am or we would not have wasted money on a game and drinks we couldn’t enjoy. We had to leave in the middle of our game and drinks because the police man came around saying come on y’all it’s time to leave we are trying to close. Don’t serve me a drink at 1:58 and tell me to leave at 2am on the dot.

Too big, especially when there are not many people. I went three times, and I never paid the same price for the same beer ...

Im really surprised that this is even an issue anymore, but just watch your credit card statement from this place. The bartender decided to add himself a nice little tip onto my bill. I dont have a copy of my receipt - it wasnt provided and they were crazy busy at the block party so I couldnt really ask for one. Im not going to fight it because one) whats the point and two) he obviously needed that couple of dollars more than I do. Still just sad.

Ive had many a good time here over the years. Sadly though, JRs just doesnt hold the same pizzazz for me anymore. The down stairs feels like it hasnt really evolved over the years. I really dislike the new jukebox. I dont understand the why they continue to plat the muted videos on the televisions that dont match the music being piped through the jukebox. I do like the upstairs area much better. It has been updated, and feels modern. Plus being able to open the garage door windows to make it open-air on nice days/evening is wonderful.

Great drinks.

Great huge space with two levels, multiple rooms, and a wonderful balcony from where you can view the buzz on the street. Staff was super friendly and very attentive. Clientele includes everyone which is a nice change from the NYC scene. In close proximity to multiple other gay bars/clubs.

Popular gay bar in the heart of Oak Lawn and the LGTBQ neighborhood of Dallas. Great drinks, great music and an always up for it crowd. Gets packed on weekends, drink prices are very good and staff is always wonderful.

I came on a Saturday around 6:30pm and all of the staff were rude. Im a very friendly and respectful person and I expect to be treated the same, especially when I come into your establishment and need I mention Im an excellent tipper. Wont be coming back here again. At least not around this time.

I have no clue why people of color go here anymore. The bartenders ignore minority customers and walk right by you to service others. That includes the black bartenders, particularly this one big black woman with blond streaks who apparently is having an identity crisis. Then they charge different people different prices. Spend your money where welcomed.

After being a generous patron on multiple weekday evenings, I made sure my friends were tipping the fabulous drag queens, I was refused entrance on a Tuesday due to having my work laptop in my bag with me. It will be hard for me to want to return to this establishment after being refused entry (and ability to tip the fantastic queens) for coming right from work and having my work laptop with me.

My favorite bar on the gayborhood. Drinks are good, strong, great people watching, friendly staff! Angie and Angel are awesome bartenders!

The employees in the back literally touch the food with their bare hands after taking money. Completely disgusting! The management and employees are disrespectful. Food is over priced & drinks are watered down. How did this establishment last more than a week? I will be contacting the Better business bureau soon. If you want a great experience with awesome food and great drinks, try Bubbas in Mesquite! Thank me later

Don’t go here. The owners and management represent hate. And inequality. Go support a business with better values and inclusion of all races of the LGBT community.

These people may or may not be racist. These people may or may not have allowed one of the Braxtons in the bar because they thought she was a gangster. IDK, I just now that the next time Im in Dallas, there is literally ONE establishment in the city who CANNOT have my business. Its JR.s Thanks for the news story. Get it together. there are people who are never planning to give you their business and I havent even planned a trip to Dallas. Again, I just know when I attend, not a dime will be spent here. :)

I love Stu, he always welcomes my friends and I with a beautiful smile and open arms.

Has the best service!!!! I visit this place once a week because I live in the area and I absolutely love it especially the bartenders their service is wonderful!!!

Took my friend and myself to they gayborhood for the first time. We were being completely respectable but the workers did not think so. So they kicked us out. We understand that we were drinking, but isnt that what this place is about? We asked for our check multiple times. Horrible service._

This is a fun place to visit. Me and the wife always stop here when we are over by cedar springs Rd.

LOL Save yourself and do not waste your time here! I spent $11 on a vodka cranberry!

The bartenders are great here! The also have the best BLT in Dallas!

THIS PLACE IS TRASH... WISH I DIDNT HAVE TO GIVE ONE STAR. IVE SEEN ROACHES RUNNING AROUND, EMPLOYEES HANDLING THE FOOD WITHOUT PROPER PROTECTION. HAIR IN THE FOOD, ITS JUST AWFUL, I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS PLACE. GOOD LUCK TO ANYONE THAT GOES THERE. EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Love this place. Great bar for a quick quiet drink. Feels a little like cheers.

I dont know what just happened. I asked for a stronger drink suggestion. The bartender/ manager suggested something with brown rum. I said no I dont drink brown liquor. I said how about 1800, the clear one and asked the price. He said 7 so I said cool 2 of them. He brought 2 brown shots. I let him know I dont drink brown again, and asked if he had clear and he said no but OK OK OK . Confused as he walked away with the shots and an attitude, before I could say Thats okay Ill take them anyway. He was gone. My girlfriend came from the restroom and I explained to her. She went to ask him. And he told her I didnt tell him clear. Then I butted in over her to say. I did tell you but you were being fin rude. Do u know I got kicked out for cursing. What kind of bar is this? Dont spend your money where its not appreciated. Thats all I can say.

Wonderful place for gay men, its a bar with friendly staff and a wonderful atmosphere. Pricing is a little high

It was very nice & clean. Nice atmosphere but once we sat down at the bar we did not even get acknowledge. We sat there as if we were invisible did not get a hello, we will be right with you. The lady that couldve helped us didnt and they werent that busy. The workers were 2 busy talking to one another and when we tried 2 get their attention we were ignored again. So we got up and left to Woodys.

It was very nice & clean. Nice atmosphere!

Chill bar

Decent pool tables in the back of the bar to enjoy a night of pool with friends.

Angel is the best bartender ever. I love her. Shes awesome.

Some of my favorite people work here, Angel, Candice, Taylor & the best mangers.

Very Friendly Staff They Make Right At Home

Great place to go... if you want the servers to steal your credit card!!!

Stay Far Away if your BLack...Because Your Gangster in there Eyes!!! Ask Local $tars...Money that a thing..You gotta be Lightskin like them... America make it Great!!!!!

Completely racist. Throw the whole establishment away.

Friday happy hour with Stu and the retro 80s videos is not to be missed ️️

Strong and (usually) cheap drinks.

Never a bad time. Always look forward to going there when visiting from Kansas. Friendly, attentative staff. Broad range of clientele makes for a very down home type of experience.

Nice place.

Of all the bars on Cedar Springs, I have to say that JRs Bar & Grill is probably the best. Classy, clean, and contemporary yet comfortable. Drink was ok but then again most Bartenders arent making Tom Collins all the time.

Watch out for this bar!! Theyll run numerous charges on your debit even after youve closed your tab AND left a generous tip. If you contact Christine shell give you a it must be your bank that split the transaction into 2 different charges!! answer.And the Queen who answers during the day is extremely rude. If you are calling regarding an un authorized charge on your card he tells you rudely do you have a pen and are you ready for the email??If JRs would be a bit more honest maybe the bad reviews wouldnt be on here.There are numerous negative reviews on here that plainly state the overages and charges not authorized by the consumer. Caven Enterprises are a corrupt group.

This is a racist establishments....do not waste your time. They should be ashamed of themselves....wish this was an option to give them 00000000000000000 Stars

Great clean bar very transgender friendly

Drinks were way too strong, I wanted food but after looking at the cleanliness of the place and not seeing a kitchen I decided against it. Being a single out of townee that was checking out the scene I was disappointed that this place was not really single friendly. By that I mean to say everyone was in their circle cliques and I just did not feel welcomed at all. Yet the bartenders were very welcoming and it is a diverse crowd of people in a good location.

Worst Gay bar in Dallas worst staff . Im a. 33 year old. Gay man that gose to the gayborhood to feel accepted.. And they do not make you feel accept dozen of my friends has greed with me never to going back to this bar worst worst worst 100% I wish I did not have to put this star but I had to

Chicken deluxe with bacon, romaine lettuce and tomatoes!

Excellent drinks, great prices, jamming music, friendly and fun staff.

Greek food during the day and a fun place to party at night

Great place to have a drink and catch up with friends!

I come here at least once a week. Its always busy and is a great bar for all the locals!

Nice gay club. Clean excellent service .

Excellent staff and great atmosphere!

The late night manager here, Carthur I belive thats his name, well his an arrogant, unprofessional, unconsiderate, rude individual. We ask for a refund because we werent satisfied with our drinks, and instead of helping us out, he call the guards to kick us out! With such arrogance and he had a smerk in his face the whole time he did it! he point is out like we where some kind of criminals, degrading us when we are the ones that pay to keep this buisness going!! The other managers and bartenders are actually pretty good, and do an excellent job its just this harsh guy Carthur that ruins it for the business.

Staff is competent, though the drinks are overpriced. Happy hour is a comfortable group but tends to get pretentious after dark.

Somehow on my very 1st visit to Dallas I ended up here and had a blast!

You may can block reviews on FB but you can not block them here

Best bar to start the night.

I was not happy with the bartender he was very rude

Amazing and fun. Besitos from Laura Martinez in Dallas Texas.

The drinks are so cheap, but I want to mean the liquor is so cheap. Dont really like the drinks in this place but the music is good.

Friendly bartenders, strong drinks. Ask for the swirl

Have lunch specials super cheap.

A great place with great services but not the best

Too racist/prejudice for me.A bar where ice heads linger around but aren’t asked to leave simply because their skin has no melanin yet CELEBRITIES like #TAMARBRAXTON are racially profiled for looking “too gangster.” In my girls words; “YALL TRIED IT !!!!!!”

Good fun and great drinks. Go see Gary.

I knew a Bouncer who worked there part time who Quit because dress code was stereotypical of black culture and hes a Forensic Scientist and a big black man too!

Bartender was great friendly bartender great crowd

Turkey burgers is AWSOME and the bartender stew is great

I love Jrs bars and grills

Fun bar but the food was awful

Service was shocking.

Loved it

Rude

Love it

Fun place!!

Awful
