This place should be kept a secret and limited to invitees only. I almost didn't want to review for that reason as I'm not sure everyone should check it out. It has a special, magical charm of the perfect dive bar. I'm ignoring my previous trip there as, well, I should not have brought that person to this place. This place is not for pretentious people. Thus I was at home at this spot.It looks camouflaged by plain wrapping with a boring exterior. Open the door and it is a world of more things to explore than you have time to. You are treated like family as a stranger. Be ready to be among people who want to know you. I guess I fit as some there knew my friends from other dive bars. I never realized how small the Dallas Dive bar world was. I have some cool friends.The music is good on the video jukebox. The tears came to my eyes as a few post 9/11 patriotic songs were played (I bleed Army green and so did some that didn't return home to their moms intact.) Glad none there saw my eyes or noticed my toast to my memories. The couple dancing on the next song made me feel more at home. Good thing a good 2 step or waltz never played or I might have had to find a partner.The decor is somewhat Green Bay Packer-ish. Okay, a lot of Green Bay love in the decor. Heh, yes, I still carry a grudge from the 1967 Ice Bowl as a life long Cowboy fan should! But, I respect a bar owner who has actual stock in his/her team and displays it proudly! So that adds another star or would that be Starr?The patrons make this one special. This is one of the great dive bars!

Great Dallas dive bar, for locals or visitors. Come for a packers game or any day for that matter. Bartenders Brooklyn, Donna, Molly, Leslie and CJ make the place great as well as all the regulars.

This dive is a REAL DIVE. Keep driving. Nothing to see here but a bartender with a real crappy attitude(Cheryl) but Donnas a doll. This place has been on Samuell forever. Needs some cleaning up and upgrades years ago

*To note: This is a dive bar to put on a pub crawl here in the DFW area. This is the way I found out about this place.What fun dive! It's the folks that really make this place, how down to earth, drinks, and some of the fun things to do.Came here to meet up with some folks for a fun event. Great music juke box on hand.The folks here were so down to earth here and so fun to chat with.The beverages were served fast and ice cold. This is a heck of dive bar, but it is really brought to life from the folks here! The folks that are here are the ones that really makes this place rock.

The Fireplace Lounge deserves 6 stars, not 5. Only the cool kids know; this is the best dive in DFW!

Yelp keeps recommending that I review Fireplace Lounge. Even thought I don't feel that I should, because then it will publicize what only a few select people know about this place. What I really want to say is to stay in Uptown.. stay in Deep Ellum.. Don't go south of Mockingbird Lane. But for those who live outside the box and experience the greatness of the Fireplace Lounge will never look at life the same. Fireplace will never cave in to be a trendy spot. It will be true to you and all your friends. The drinks are fairly priced. The juke box is stacked with good music. Lots of classic soul and country hits to keep you dancing for a month of Saturdays. There is ONE pool table to help pass the time, if you're the restless type. I recently met a couple Cowboy cheerleaders there. They look better on TV and the hair on their legs were a bit stubbly. Sunday it's a Green Bay Packers bar. I'm not a Packers fan, so don't expect to see me there.Fireplace is hardcore and I like it that way.
