Poor David's Pub

Best listening room in Dallas, bar none! Poor David's Pub specializes in live music. No TV's or other 6 Good view of the stage. from every seat, and the sound is top-notch. Not too big, so you are close to performers. Parking: Full bar but no food served for most shows. Kid-friendliness: Not really a place for kids but they are welcome for some shows. Check first.

Went for St Paddy's performance of the group Behan. Music was GREAT! Bartender was efficient and responsive. However, this was an all-ages event. With about a dozen children running amok, yelling at the top of their lungs. They seemed completely unsupervised and almost crashed into me twice. I spoke to them directly and also complained to the Bartender. Didn't make much difference. I don't ever pay $25 for live music and get a "kid's birthday party" kinda vibe. Totally unprofessional and ruined my experience. I won't be back. Parking: There is a designated lot, but it seemed to be largely occupied by patrons of the bistro. Had to park in the dirt behind the lot.

Live music is the focus. There are no TV's - YAY!! This is where people who actually love live music go to hear live music. Bonus of the best sound man in town - Carlos!

It was fun groovy and nice people! I went two nights for the Blues fest!

Went to the KNON Blues Fest! 4th time traveling from Denver to attend and as ALWAYS we had a blast!! The music was AMAZING!! We only had 2 hiccups this year. There was a younger guy helping bar tend. The female was cool, nice & funny!! The 1st beer he charged $7, the next time $8, the next time $10, all the while the female charged $7 for the exact beer! I guess he made $4 off of us plus tips....that is not cool! The next day we asked and were told they did not increase the price of beer as the night went on, was he tryin to make a few extra bucks, who else did he do that to....The 2nd hiccup....the cat walkin all over the bar, sitting on the bar, in the bathroom... not cool! This place is GREAT to have a blues fest & every act brought their A-game! We met some really fun, great ppl & heard awesome music for 2 days! I will be back next year!! Cookie McGee was impressive! These two young guys played and their skills were that of old veteran musicians!!

Poor David's Pub used to be a lot better when it was on Lower Greenville. The owner, David Card, used to attract big-name acts to Poor David's, but not anymore. He books only obscure artists, and most of the shows are mediocre. George C. Sowan
