Barbara's Pavillion

This place makes you want to act like you're 5 stars: tip great, be nice, buy drinks, order pizza. This place deserves your attention. It's better than your phone. Bring your dog, you know you should. Sit at the bar. Buy shots , tip better. If this place disappears, everyone loses

Apparently this is the best karaoke in dallas. This is my first karaoke bar experience here and it was a lot of fun. Great variety of songs. Good people and good drinks. Can't go wrong!

Every neighborhood needs a Barbara's Pavillion; a gay dive bar that welcomes all, and all show up! You won't be dazzled by the hidden store front entrance, under whelming ambiance, or limited liquor selection, rather, the friendliness of the staff, and locals, and their fair drink prices. Known for great karaoke and spoken word on select nights of the month, Barbara's still operates as a private club, so be ready to scan your ID upon arrival. If your thing is sitting at the bar chatting up the bartender, a fun game of billiards, or a smoke with friends on the patio, you can do them all at Barbara's Pavilion. Maybe you'll see me there belting out a tune. Heads up, parking is tricky! Xoxo Lorenzo!

Love this place, Jade rocks! Great little hidden gem in Oak Cliff, highly recommend checking it out!

Horrible place. Service was awful. We stood at the bar for 20 min and the bartender was all over the place. Dirty glasses were piled up along the bar and empty beer cans littered the top. Barback was just standing around and not even attempting to pick up the glasses or trash. Bartender just kept serving the people in-front of her rather than work length of bar. I bartended major nightclubs for 10 years and she was awful. I finally asked the people next to me if she was serving our end at all and they were also frustrated. I said I have been waiting 20 min and the bartender heard me and yelled, "And you're gonna have to wait a little longer." I said ... "no... I don't" and we all left. It wasn't even that busy. #avoid

Fun and local gay bar. Always have a great time here. Karaoke to outside conversations, good place to meet ppl and the dive bar experience too. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Drinks are affordable than other gay bars

Amazing dive bar.... Reminiscent of the old dive bars one could find in the 60's -90's but almost all are gone now . Freaks weirdos and anyone with an actual personality is welcome here. If your not okay with people who beat to a different drum then this place isn't for you. NICE to know their are still places where people from different walks of life can go and mingle without hate or discrimination. Please help keep this wonderful spot safe and welcoming.

It is okay. Prices to drink are kinda high. if you know people, it's Inviting.This place needs better managed, but has an excellent bartender named Jade and Hattie.They have always been attentive (except for the nights of Saturday), but nonetheless. its an okay bar

We came to Barbara's for a few drinks on a Saturday night. They were having karaoke night which we thought it would be fun. Instead the person mcing was extremely rude for no reason. He or she kept making remarks about the singers in a rude not a funny way. At the end of the night the dj and the manager kept yelling to pay our tabs and go BUT the bartenders were having trouble providing the checks so we could pay and go. One of the bartenders even told us that the manager is an ahole. Definitely avoid this place. There are so many other places in Bishop Arts you can go rather than this crappy place.
