"This is a hole on the wall bar. You won't believe you are in Deep Ellum, but on this classic american bar. Their cheeseburgers are the best, I will come back only to eat one of their delicious cheeseburgers. Kimberly at the bar is the best."
"This is place is amazing. When you walk in you are greeted with a great outdoor patio. The place is welcoming to everyone and all walks of life even your dogs. The food here is delicious and great the Greek salad is really good also the the brisket grilled cheese is yum. The bartenders are great and fun if you like a good fun chilling place this is place to come"
"This place is a place that my family has been going to for years. Great drinks, great food, great service. The trifecta of a Lakewood establishment and damn consistent. My favorite is the mussels. I want the at least once a week. Also, damn hood martinis."
"Another awesome lunch at The Dive! Such a sweet waitress, pretty views and great food! Today I tried the chicken tacos that were amazing with the jalapeño ranch!"

Loved the friendly bartenders and the talented bands.Was a fun evening vibe. Didn't order food, but I'm sure would've been good based on the attention to service.

This place is awesome! We first visited a couple weeks ago and we've been back 6 times! The food is off the charts good. Especially their meatloaf! I think it's the best meatloaf I've ever had. They have a dive bar ambiance, the kind of place where it's the same regulars nearly every time you visit. The staff is great, awesome conversation and humor. The staff have all been there 5-20 years, so they really know the menu. Great place, and will definitely remain on our rotation.

This is one of the best dive bars I've ever been to, for a few reasons. They have machines that can dispense endless shots of Fireball and Jager (although I did not imbibe during my visit), but best of all, if you sit outside, you might get a visit from K.P., or as I called him before i knew his name, "bar kitty". The story, as I heard it from some regulars, is that he was a feral stray who made friends with one of the bartenders that would feed him, and gradually got to where he was friendly to the patrons as well. He's very sweet and loves attention these days!As for, well, bar stuff, it's classic dive bar all the way, and that's fine. Seating outside is old but sturdy fiberglass paneled patio furniture, and the draft beers we ordered were cold and delicious (mine was a Sam Adams Winter Lager). We met some friendly folks while playing with K.P. and just, in general, got a nice vibe from the place on a very unseasonably comfortable winter evening. In fairness, I'm sure my experience was enhanced by my company, a wonderful new friend I'd met through some other friends, and we hung out for a long time trading stories, enjoying the beer and atmosphere, and certainly not least, the company of K.P. Definitely a place worth checking out!

Great place! Its newly renovated so everything is new and very very clean. They have daily specials on food and alcohol every day, and they have a late night menu option.All the bartenders are so amazing. My boyfriend and I hang out at riprocks about twice a week.The food is AMAZING.Food recommendations:-fried pickles (wedges not chips)-french fries (crinkle cut)-chicken tenders-chicken wings (GET IT WITH LEMON PEPPER)Drink recommendations:(I like girly fruity drinks)-they offer a watermelon daiquiri with sour watermelon candy-fruit roll-up shot (actually tastes like a fruit-roll up)-NATURDAYS (natural lights greatest invention of strawberry lemonade beer)-if I remember correctly, they have $3 rumple shots on wednesdays

Everything about this bar is 5stars worthy except the rude and arrogant Friday night DJ!! I have never had a DJ tell me they do not take requests. I was trying to help the vibe because he honestly had no clue what he is doing. However, the bartenders and the vibe other than that is awesome! Sorry your FRIDAY DJ IS TERRIBLE!!

"I've driven by it for years and finally decided to give it a try. Plenty of parking to the side and back. I was a bit over dressed for this place (coming from the office), but all seemed fine with it and the Texas friendlies treated me like I was one of their long lost friends. The prices were great for both bottle beer and shots. The staff was very attentive and friendly. They showed appreciation for me leaning up on their bar.The bar games include darts, pool, and shuffle board. Lots of TVs on the wall tuned to various sporting events of the day. The appetizers and foods were making me hungry so I opted to go elsewhere for a bite.I look forward to return trips."
"No doubt - the best bar on Fry!The staff here is amazing! Friendly, service-oriented staff who get it right or make it right every time. The food is super good, and the Tuesday burger special Is legit! Good beer selection - always something for everyone. I can't give five stars only because their WiFi is painfully, painfully slow. Like - can't check your email slow! Which - I know it's a bar, so that's not the big draw, but this close to campus it seems like people would want to to do school work and I can barely do anything."
"Had a great time from the employees. Karaoke guy was not great. Had a sheet to sign up on but then skips and chooses favorites and makes his own order after people sign up. Not cool. Even asked bc I was next in line based on the actual sign up sheet and he insulted me and said that's not how it works and said why would I put on ppl I don't know ahead of regulars. Came here for the first time bc there was karaoke and may not come back bc of him."
"This bar is one of our very favorites! Best bartenders around, Amy and Angie make you feel welcome from the second you walk in the door and are so attentive throughout your visit! TRY THE MAC & CHEESE!! You won't be disappointed! The spinach and artichoke dip is ON POINT as well! If you stop by during the holiday season, getcha a Christmas in a Glass Shot -- F'n AMAZING!!! Taste like a Cinnabon with a happy littlekick!"
