JR's Bar and Grill

(606 Ratings)
Extremely popular spot at the center of it all

One of the few bars in town where you'll find dancing during the day and excellent food to boot. JR's is always getting bigger and better. There's always a decent crowd. During Pride, there is always a wild block party with JR's as a focal point.

good place to start the night

big and friendly bar in the gay area center, everybody seems to meet here, every type of guys, some nice, some rude, but definatly a good place to hang out. smoking allowed on the first floor patio is a plus.

A good meeting place

The crowd here is more diverse than other spots which is a plus. I see all ages here although the happy hour time seems to get the older crowd. They have decent specials during the week as well. Right now they play alt music on Monday nights which can be fun even if there isn't a huge crowd.

Great balcony!

A great place to meet up with buds on the upstairs balcony...especially if the weather is cooperating! Don't miss the fun drag downstairs several nights a week. A Dallas staple.

Huge Patio

JR's has the biggest street facing patio on the strip. If you like to get a good look around (and who doesn't) this is the place you will want to be. From its central location on the strip, you can see down all ends and people watch while having good conversation with friends.
