Poor David's Pub

Here tonight for the showcase. Great stage, sound system For new artists!Contact the website. Rine Guardwind performed tonight

David's club is where I cut my teeth in the Dallas music scene. Since 1994 I have appreciated what David has done to promote and rally behind local musicians.

Great place to see live performances! Sound design fits the space well and there's not a bad seat in the house. Everyone around is friendly and professional!

Went with some friends to see a live acoustic show this past weekend at Poor David's Pub. Great place with a fun vibe and attentive bartenders. Good sound quality for the live show, and wasn't too loud. Tickets were reasonably priced and drink costs were OK. We'll be back!

There is definitely no glitz or glamour about this place. I'm giving it 4 stars based on the show we went to see. The ambiance is just a bar. Seats are uncomfortable and actual tables are limited. Eat before you come although I did see several people bring food from outside in. The sound system wasn't the best but that didn't stop the show. The drinks.. hit or miss. Smoothest vodka and cranberry I ever had but the lemon drop martini was so strong I couldn't finish it. Again, the stars was based on the performance and the venue. If it was venue alone, which It probably should be.. I'd give it 2.5 stars

Great live music venue and pub!! Love this place!!This is seriously a live music place with mismatched chairs and tables. Semi-kid friendly and also semi-dog friendly as the owners wife carries around a tiny dog as does several of the patrons!!Took my 70 year old mother, and my 12 yr old and my bestie!! Fun place

Make no mistake: This really is a "music venue" (as Yelp properly classifies it). They happen to have bar service, at perhaps an "intermediate" level, but the only food here is popcorn. So, really, you come here for the show, which makes it harder to write a review for, but I'm going to try anyway. Most shows (if not all) are going to have a cover charge; the band I saw had a deal where they "paid to play", then got a portion of the gate. The place holds maybe 300 patrons, and seating is mostly sturdy plastic seats that you might see in a middle school. There are a fair number of movable round tables to hold drinks, and the stage is very well situated and has room for plenty of performers and their gear. Lighting is more than adequate, and I'm sure, varies from act to act. We only had water and soft drinks, but the prices were very reasonable for these (unlike many bars). Restrooms were clean and easily accessible. Parking is available in several lots around the venue, and it's easily reachable from DART light rail if you want to come that way. It's definitely a decent place to catch a band, just make sure you eat beforehand.

I have attended many events at Poor David's, but may have attended our last show. We paid $139.98 to see Rodney Crowell and Sam Baker ($60 per ticket, and $19.98 in fees) on 24Apr2024. David and the bartender talked loudly throughout the show. The disrespect shown to the performers and attendees was amazing, and a fabulous show was ruined for anyone who sat within reach of their voices.

I'm giving PDP a 5 star for the music venue. It's a great place to listen to some great sound for a nominal price. It doesn't serve food but has a fully stocked bar. Their drinks are NOT very strong on the alcohol side but I don't go there for the booze, I go for the sound.

Great venue, super clean and it's across the street from the police station so the area is safe!
