Walrus Restaurant & Bar

Door guys think they are working the entrance of an important Hollywood club for starters. Music is average. At first thought it had potential in the beginning....I mean, if you like being associated with the washed up West Inn. Take that bar, give it a new owner, move say 3 miles down 75 N , add a new fragrance and Boom! On a positive note - Great place to go and look for some strange if you become extremely intoxicated prior to your arrival. Pros: Young strange Cons: cheese more

The place isn't very fancy but it gets the job done. I forgot which night I went but it was a blast. Great music, good dance floor; my friends enjoyed ourselves. It won't get bumping till like midnight though. No cover. Ya I'm a guy so that means no cover for everyone, haha. Pros: nothing fancy, good for dancing more

I've never seen a bar with such an identity crisis. What is it, please someone tell me! Is it a metro/gay sportsbar/nightclub/restaurant? As usual in our fickle city everyone goes to the new place to be seen, and in most cases, such as this one, we only arrive to be let down. Few bars in this city have really wowed me, and this one is definitely not one of them. I don't want to completely down grade them, its just not the upscale late night lounge or club that the ownership/management thinks or wants it to be. I read they were supposed to have the hottest staff in town and was totally let down in that department. The napoleonic muscle head with an attitude behind the bar didn't exactly strike me as one for that category. I will say there were some good looking cocktails that were nice, but thats everywhere in this city. The cocktails in this city are easily comparable to Vegas or L.A., which goes without saying. I am rather confused as to the voting on citysearch, though. Its not a bad bar, but definitely not indicative of such honors and reviews. I wouldn't give it such a strong score but who am I to say. I think I will stick with my current stock of bars and nightclubs. Pros: Nice T.V.'s and good food to catch a game if you live near by. Cons: ambiance, parking, attitudes more

Honestly, the interior looks like a broken down saloon. Horrible worn out wooden chairs, tables, walls, bar, floors. I felt like i was in a low budget Clint Eastwood film. Seriously! A little bit of money to modernize the interior sure would help this place. It was hard to find, and the staff were unattentive and inexperienced. Can't really see this place staying open for longer than a few months. Pros: none Cons: slow service more

How can anyone get a drink in this place? I waited forever and there was no one who care. The price were to high also. Pros: it will be closed soon Cons: not soon enough more

I don't know what more one could ask for in a local hangout. You have flat screens and projectors to watch your college or NFL team, great food to keep your stomach happy, an awesome DJ to dance to at night, oh and did I mention the crowd, ya its the hottest around! Friday's are the night to be there. Don't be scared! Pros: Everything Cons: NOTHING more

anyone can have a good time at Walrus....it is great place to sit and talk if thats what you are in mood for, watch a game, grab a bite to eat and if you are in a dancing mood come by Thurday thoruhg Saturday night and DJ Chris Tracy will definately show you a good time....if you like to have a good time with cool people...GO TO WALRUS more

The only thing positive about this place is our group had a very nice and attentive waittress. Otherwise, this place is a real downer. Forget trying to even get a drink from one of the bartenders. They are more interested in talking to each other or chatting with their friends. The drink prices are unbearable. I have been there twice. I went there the first time on a social club function, and the place pretty much screwed us over, even though we brought 100+ people. They promised these great drink specials, but once we showed up they completely forgot about the deal. No big deal, but if you are just opening up, you would think you would go out of your way to accomodate or please your new patrons. So, I thought it may have been a fluke, so I returned to give this place another shot. Same thing. Apparently, the owner of this bar has many friends, yet they think they own the place since they know him. So good luck trying to have a peaceful time. And if one of the buddies is by the bar, you might as well go to another bar, because you are not going to get a drink at this place. This place is a one second wonder and will be out of business in a couple of months. The prices are comparable to Ghostbar, and I would suggest you go there instead. Plus this bar is right next to the police depot in West End. (great location) Also, don't even try to get a cab because there are none around. And don't ask the valets, because they won't help. This review may seem a bit biased, but ask anyone who has been once and they will tell you the same thing. This bar can't decide whether it wants to be a Upper Crust (Ghostbar, Medici) bar or whether it wants to be a sports bar. I guess they figure they can do both, but I am here to tell you that it is not working. The owner should have just saved his money and thrown a house party ever weekend for his friends, because that is what this place is like. Pros: Nice Waitress Cons: overcharge for drinks, lack of service, bad atmosphere more

Beautiful people? Check! Good drinks and reasonably priced? Check! Large patio? Check! Good DJ? (and possibly the best in Dallas)? Check! There really isn't much this bar doesn't have. For only being around a few short weeks, this bar has already proved it's going to be around for quite some time! I reccomend this place for the food, dancing, and even watching sports. They've got a DJ on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and even have 99 cent mimosas and 2 dollar bloody mary's on Saturdays and Sundays. This bar truly rocks!! Pros: A very inviting bar with a great staff. The food is good and the scene is even better! Definately reccomend! more

Good looking people, friendly service, good drinks... I could go on and on. This place has gotten off to a great start. I've been twice so far, and had a great time both times I went. Sports on HDTV, a DJ spinning cool music (but not so loud you have to scream at the person you're talking to), and the food's not too shabby either. I wish there was free parking, but hey, it's the West End. The only thing keeping this from being a 10 is that the bar is new. Once it has a chance to be consistent, it will be the best place to go in town. Pros: Lots of floor space, great patio Cons: If it gets too crowded, the bar area will need to be expanded more

This place definitely has the best music and the dj knows how to please the crowd. I have been there several times and have always had a blast. I always run into lots of people that I know and enjoy sitting out on the deck. The bar staff is friendly. I have also been there for dinner and the burgers are delicious. Their homemade chips with salsa and guacomole are wonderful. I was there last week and watched the game on their big screen tv with friends. Pros: Fun place to be and just feels right! more

This is the place to be. Great DJ with the music always hoppin for the late night scene. Great deck with an unbelievable view of the green building downtown. Great bar inside with the best bar staff in the city. Great appetizers for early evening - try the jalopeno cheese sticks for an awsome treat. Great food if you're hungry - my favorites so far are the Bleu Cheese Burger, the Turkey Wrap, and a great club sandwich all with the best curly fries I've ever had. Great views of all the TVs in the house for game days and much more. They're even open for lunch. Can't say much more than it's a great fit for whatever mood you're in - comfort food - sports bar - neighboorhood hangout - night life plus one of the best DJ's in town. Pros: Great bar staff, valet parking at night, great food and appetizers more
