everyone LOVES Adair's. honestly, i do too. that's saying a lot. i don't even dig country music all that much. what is it about this place? everyone knows the burgers are awesome. it's like a bun with a whole char-grilled cow in the middle; what's not to love?!? for me, Adair's is getting 5 stars today because of my son. i took my 8 year old to Adair's for lunch. immediately he was excited and intrigued at all the permanent marker EVERYWHERE. i got him his own marker. you should have seen the look in his eyes when i told him to go to town! it was worth the fact that due to a band sticker on the wall next to our booth, he was walking around saying 'butt trumpet' for the rest of the day. Adair's makes you feel like a kid again in that respect. my kid drew a scene from plants vs. zombies. and also a couple comic panels of a teacher telling a kid to get his butt over here; and the kid is coming toward the teacher, butt first. yes. 8 year olds. i am so happy i got to let my little guy go wild. where else in town can a kid draw zombies and write the word 'butt' PERMANENTLY on someone's furniture?!? thanks Adair's for giving my son a little freedom. for giving me a little freedom too!

I was told by two different people that Adairs had the best burgers in town. How can that be when twisted root and angry dog already own that title and are also within a stone's throw from Adairs??
Starving and curious I decided to call in my to go order for lunch on a Tuesday. I came by to pick up my cheeseburger and fries and paid the $8 for it. What a steal! However it wasn't the best burger in town. Not even the best on commerce street. However it is the best $6 cheeseburger for sure. It wasn't too greasy and they cooked it to the medium rare perfection I requested. Fries were delish. Angry dog still wins the best burger in Dallas title, though. -

You can read the writing on the wall when you are in Adair's. No, there is literally writing all over the walls in this country style dive in Deep Ellum. There is full band live music on weekends and acoustic set other times, a great jukebox full of great country tunes and some bar stools, booths tables cold beer and even some food you have your self a country music oriented dive that has stood the test of time.
I've heard the food is good but I have not tried it. The beer is cold and the selection is moderate. The place is plain and timeless and combines it's bohemian setting with a traditional country style bar. The great band Eleven Hundred Springs used to play here as the house band and their country outlaw spirit is perfect for the place. This s a bar for cosmic cowboys and 'long haired tattooed hippy freaks' as the Eleven Hundred Springs song goes. The bar is all about old and new outlaw country or at least those who like the music and style of that movement and is a genuinely cool reminder of how country music has commingled with a rebellious ethos.
The place is plain and simple and if you hate country it is likely not for you. It us small and I bet it can get damned crowded at times. The beer selection nor the cocktails will not blow you away but somehow this place is more than the some of its parts. -

Adair's is exactly what I expect when I want to go to an old style saloon. There is writing everywhere, which is hilarious, especially if you read some of it. The drinks are appropriately priced, and they always seem to have an interesting mix of individuals. Each time I've been there, they have had live music, and people were dancing to the band out on the floor. I have not yet tried the food, so I will not comment on that, but the drinks are well made! If you have a hankerin' for a saloon, check out Adair's in Deep Ellum, it's worth it!

Who doesn't love a dive bar? Especially one that serves ice-cold PBR in a can!!
Start or finish, Monday or Saturday - this is a definite way to add some spice to your weekend! Music and crowd are wildly varied, which always means a night of fun. Bartenders are generous pour-ers, so tip them well. It's hard to work in a place so dive-a-licious!
Grab a Sharpie and I'll see you this weekend! Don't forget to stop off in the potty for some memorable poet-ray! (anyone else noticing that I've been saying that an awful lot lately? Do I have great taste, or what?!) -

Adairs is all about simplicity.
Drinking Lone Star from a can or draft beer from a pitcher covered in Sharpie marker graffiti? Simple.
Basic overstuffed diner booths and Elks Hall stackable chairs? Simple.
Barebones bathrooms covered in years worth of magic marker? Simple.
The kind of place where you don't have to worry about what you are wearing, whether your hair is done, or whether your makeup is still intact? Simple.
And the best simple burgers around (no fuss, no frills, no fancy fixins). Simple.
I've been drinking at Adairs for years and it's still one of my favorite bars for no frills simple fun.
If you are looking to see and be seen, drink cocktails of martini glasses, or do laps around the joint on your teetering high heels, pass. This will SO not be your bar. -

Adair's Saloon, you are the cutest little bar I ever did see.
My first time here was with my roommate and her friends to add Adair's to their Dallas Burger Challenge.
I am so happy I went along! Burgers are the only thing they serve and mine was de-lish. I ordered it medium with cheese and no mayo. It came more medium well to well done, but the burger wasn't dry and still had a lot of flavor. Fries were good too.
Adair's has kind of a rustic feel. There are road sings and posters, and you can sign your name all over the walls and booths.
Great jukebox, strong cocktails, and cold beer. We had to leave to meet other friends, and I was begging my roommate to just make them come to us.
Cool bar. I'll definitely be back. -

I had a cheeseburger & fries, a shot of Jagermeister, and a can of Lone Star. The music wasn't too bad (I'm not the biggest country fan, but I can enjoy it in the right company), enough to keep me swaying to the tune, and the BURGER was fantastic!!!
That damn burger was so juicy, I can't wait to drag friends here to chow down on one!
I also learned how to play shuffleboard, haha. -

After just getting off work on a Saturday, going to meet my friends at a bar that I never heard of, downtown, right after the TX/OU game ended, was really the last thing I wanted to do. But so glad peer pressure got the best of me!! This place took me right back to Nashville where every bar has live music and great atmosphere. It was such a fun place to hang out, write on the walls, and listen to some country tunes! Everyone's drinking, dancing, and playing shuffleboard, how can one not like this place?! Definitely a new favorite spot.

This place is incredible. I am a huge country music fan, but largely being from California, I had never really been to a Texas Honkytonk or dive.
In Dallas on business and was taken here by a friend. I absolutely loved it. Listened to a band from Austin called Mike and Moonpies. Enjoyed pitchers of Shiner Bock and took it all in. This placed rocked...county style. -

Here's why they get 3 stars and not 2: $7 pitchers
Okay I get it, let's see how much character we can build and let everyone write every eff'n where. I'm ok with that, not okay with the racist jokes in the bathroom.
Who needs glass mugs, plastic will do.
Good service, cheap beer. No place to impress a chick for sure. Nice music. I shouldn't have went during a daytime drinking trip, as this place needs a crowd to be entertaining.Listed in: Deep Ellum

Of my two go-to friends for burger recommendations, each had a different recommendation for me in Dallas. One told me Twisted Root which I loved, and one told me Adair's which I also loved, but for different reasons. Adaiar's feels like home to me....a dirty, writing on the walls, no door to the bathroom kind of bar with limited delicious choices. Watched football here in peace because it's not a sports bar despite having the game on all 5 screens (including a 70 inch or so projector). The burgers come with their level of well doneness already decided, pickels, mustard, onions, lettuce and tomato. Cheeseburgers have cheese. They're each about $6 and fries are $250 making this a great deal. The burger was delicious--albeit hard to eat because it was fucking TALL. Great juiciness, seasoned well, veggies made for good compliments to the meat. And the fries are awesome too! With a few pitchers and a lot of shots, it made for a great and not too expensive night. If they had a better beer selection I would have just decided to live there.

Oh, Adair's. It's been much too long, my love. Don't you remember all those nights I spent dancing my ass off like a fool to Eleven Hundred Springs? The many hours I spent bellied up to your bar, sucking back Coors Light in the can and eating your drop dead gorgeous burgers? How about the time I sent my shuffleboard puck thingy flying off the table and toward the back door? I didn't even get thrown out for being too drunk to shuffleboard properly. That was really nice of you.
If you've never been to Adair's, go. Go now. If, like me, it's been too long to remember the last time you went, go. Go now. Nothing's changed. It's still the same grungy, graffiti-marked dive that you remember. The beer is still cold enough to make your eyes water, the burgers will still make you cry and the chances of you running into someone you know are still pretty high. We did.
Show Adair's a little love tonight. I promise she'll give it right back.Listed in: Got booze?, Cheeseburger, cheeseburger,…, Deep Ellum

Adair's is so country that it's punk, and indeed, on many a night, the mohawks and leather jackets out number the cowboy hats. A lot of bikers also frequent this bar.
It's got the the best jukebox I've ever heard. Period. I once overheard a fellow at the Red Oak VFW talking about the Adair's jukebox to another patron. Now, if folks in Red Oak have heard about that jukebox, it's freakin' famous.
Cheep beer, cheep food, and there's never a cover. Aside from having good live bands every night, on Sundays a few older guys come in, put their boots up on the table, and pick at their banjos.
You will leave this bar feeling dirty, and you will love it.Listed in: Where I Blow Chunks, Don't Put Another Dime in the…

An absolutely amazing dive bar. Adair's is a true dive with pretty much every surface you can see covered in scribblings from past customers.
There was a solid country cover singer when I went, who covered "real" country music, not the newer, pop-ish stuff. There is a shuffleboard table and golden tee to keep you busy if you want, and the bar staff was incredibly friendly.
You simply can't go wrong here... great drinks, music, and atmosphere, Adair's has it all. -
Review from Erin M.
I love, love, love me some Adair's. It's the place you bring your friends when they're down. It's the place you bring your friends when they're happy. It's the burger that fixes everything because it's so. dang. good.
I have spent many a night living it up in Adairs. I have my name on the ceiling next to a pair of yellow underpants. (there is a ladder you just gotta know who to ask for it and no I'm not telling you who)
Adairs has GREAT burgers, I think they put some sort of extra fat meat that will make you drool every time. Also who doesn't love cheap can beer?? I do, I do!! The food is great, the beers are cheap and COLD! There is a live band almost every night with no cover charge, and they recently paved the back parking area. OH- and if you get there early enough to park in that area it's free. Who ever heard of free parking in Deep Ellum?
Everyone is welcome, come as you are, cuz it doesn't matter if you're wearing jeans and a t-shirt or a suit and tie, you're in.
I just can't express in words how much I love this place.. If you're a lady and you go to the restroom and you see next to the sink where it says "Erin and Moriah big and thick" yup that's me!! Long story, but funny enough that if you must know I can fill you in.

What can I say about Adair's? Oh......OH so much. If you have been there, you know exactly why.
Does it have charm?
It's a dive. Writing all over EVERYTHING, not just the walls...I do believe the walls are 2 inches thick with sharpie. But don't write on their new flatscreen TVs, the head of the last guy that did that is still on the wall. Booths that I believe have been there sine 1905. Possibly the same toilets. And a wooden stage at the front that I swear will fall at any moment. Yes, it has charm.
Does it have food?
The food here is so good, makes you wanna punch a nun. The burgers are legendary, and the fries they grill WITH your burger, a new tactic...and I say bravo. Yes, their food is amazing.
Do they have cool events?
Other than the constant playlist of AWESOME live shows almost every night, they always have something going on. Lance and I attended their crawfish boil this last Sunday, and not only did they give a whopping pound and a half to EACH PERSON, these crawfish were so big I could have used them as door stops. Biggest I've seen this season so far, hands down. How much, you ask? F.R.E.E. And as much as you want. I fell a little bit MORE in love with Adair's that day. And they are gonna do it 2 more times this season. Cool events? double check.
Live music. Cheap cold beer. Dallas dive charm. Amazing food. And always friendly faces.

Hah, well...I know that i'm a Texan but I am no cowgirl. I'm not into cowboy music and honky tonks, buuuut I really dig this place. My friends and I came here due to the disappointingly early closing hours at Angry Dog and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to check 'em out.
The bartender was very friendly, I almost want to say that the words "southern hospitality" came to mind. You drink cheap beer from a can or plastic mug, so this place isn't really for beer snobs, such as myself, but it was nice change of pace.
Each table is armed with sharpies and the tables, walls, even pictures are covered in graffiti, I like that because i'm definitely a "doodler".
Again, I'm not into country music etc etc, but I really enjoyed the band playing, the band members were also so friendly, they took the time to introduce themselves and to ask our names, gave us some band info etc. The band's name is 'Three Cities Burning'.
If I can find an excuse to go to a "saloon" again, I'll be back. heh, I like dives and this place would definitely be considered a dive.
Oh yeah, my friend ate a burger and fries and they looked fantastic, maybe that will be my excuse to go back...fat girl needs food, mmm.Listed in: My Neighborhood - Dallas

Adair, you amuse me.
Whoever you are.
We walked in the back door around 9pm and were greeted by a group of drunken cowboys in their 30s - old enough to be my father/ maybe great uncle. Beers. Levis. Cowboy hats. The following conversation.
Cowboy: "I'm single, are you?"
Me: (playing along for fun..) "I am!"
Older Cowboy: "I'm singlest." "But you and this guy might have more in common." (Pushes a 30 something bubba my way)
Bubba: "We been hur for 4 hourshh.."
Me: "Wow. Really?"
-- anyway, I graciously excused myself to join my friend after they started circling around me like a herd of cattle... they were colorful and harmless and just added to the warm and worn-in feeling of Adairs.
Bar service was quick, efficient and the bartender called me "darlin'".
(sigh).
The music that night was incredible! They had a kid in from Norway singing and playing lead guitar backed up by a bluegrass/ jazzy band. There were a few people dancing in the open space. The crowd was easy going and supportive of the musicians.
Next time I'm in Dallas I will make it a point to drop in for a drink, some good tunes and southern men in denim. -

If you frequent ultra-lounges, this ain't your place, partner.
If you don't like to drink beer from a can, this ain't your place, partner.
If you think crawfish are gross, this ain't your place, partner.
And finally....
If you don't like wooden bathrooms, this DEFINITELY ain't your place.
Adairs is for the guy's guy and the girls who like to hang with them. You don't get all dressed up in your 5 inch heels and Ed Hardy shirts to come here, or you might get a few stares.
Even though the location and parking are a little troublesome for most, I think it's a great joint to sit with your close buddies and have some good ole bucket beer.
I visited Adair's once in college and wrote my sorority and name initials all over something (can't exactly remember what), and I vowed to come back and see if it was still there someday. That was four years ago.
Last Sunday, I joined the crew here for their second crawfish boil of the season. Sad to say, I couldn't locate my writing on the wall but I DID walk away fat and happy. First of all, it was free. Second, the mudbugs were ginormous...we even felt the need to name several of them (Harry, Ralph and Loretta were my favorites). Third, it was a great crowd - not too packed, not too slow. It was juuuuust right.
Tip: Bring a thick permanent marker and get ready to color the walls -- except this time your mom won't come screaming at you from the kitchen with a wet sponge and soap.Listed in: The Best of Downtown Dallas, Diving in Dallas

I love hanging out at Adair's, they have good music and the burger's are awesome. There can be 'issues' when the SMU crowd blows in and starts stuff occassionaly, but it's still worth it to go.
One of my absolute favorite things about Adair's you ask? Pitchers of Jack and Coke! Love it!

One of the best dive bars around! How can you not like a bar that lets your write with permanent marker all over practically everything in the bar?? I mean, come on, that's fun stuff! :)
They have awesome drink specials Monday - Thursday. I know some people claim that Adair's has the best burger around, but I have not bought into that theory. I will however give the burger another try, since it has been years since I have had one.
The best thing about Adairs is the mix of people. You will see people of all walks of life, older people, younger people, and everything in between. Come here for the live honky-tonk music, for the food, for the shuffle board, and/or to watch a game. This is a bar that has all that and more. -

This is THE dive bar to end all dive bars!
I stopped by Adairs after a hearty late Sunday lunch at the Twisted Root, and walked into a jam session at Adairs. There must have been 15 people sitting around a big table just jamin' some great tunes. I would guess there were 6-7 people on the guitar, 1 dude playing a giant stand-up bass, a couple of banjos, a harmonica, a chick playing the accordion and a few small percussion things here and there. It was like opening the door to Austin, TX.
Anyway, the atmosphere was great, the music even better, and the beer was cold.
I was happy. -

I used to visit this place a few times to see King Bucks play. But after two of my friends were bullied by the OWNER of the bar for being gay and dancing together (when I say bullied, I mean in your face and mocking you for who you are bullied). I have put this on my ban list.
I've never really liked the place personally, but I always give something a few tries, especially if your friends like going there. The bartenders don't really have a great personality and they all have some sort of attitude, at least every time I've been there (which was 4 times). The bathroom really scares me! I know bar bathrooms are never the best, but I was literally scared to touch anything in this restroom.
After speaking to a few people, I've been told that the owner is a total jerk. He proved that on his own by acting completely homophobic. It's a shame. -

I've been going to Adiars since i was old enough to get in. Most of the time, im going for the music, they book a lot of local acts that i love, and they also attract some of the bigger guns in the Texas Singer Songwriter genre as well. They come because Adiars has history, just look at the walls...my name has been written and written over so many times, it just looks like a big black blob now.
There is never a cover, so come on out and support local and TEXAS music. They will pass the tip bucket around towards the end of the night, and will normally pick out the hottest chick in the bar to do so. Watch those jean skirts and cowboy boots, boys. You can two step or rock out, depending on the night. And don't forget to try the burgers, they are phenomenal. These bad boys are really like a backyard with the family burger, with a jalopeno impailed on top, and the frie are cooked on the GRILL, right next to the burger.
So go see Joel and his kickass staff, they'll take care of yaListed in: Where I drank!, Burgertown Dallas Style

Review from Melissa H.

This is a pretty big hole in the wall, but it is a true dive bar. You're assured a good time at Adair's, even when it seems pretty dead. Why? Because there's always cheap drink, good music and great conversation to be had. The bartenders are some of the nicest folk around, and they put up with a lot of interesting patrons...including myself, especially when drunk.
Let's talk drinks. Mixed drinks are served in plastic cups. How rock steady is that? While it's not environmentally conscious, they ARE saving water by not washing so many glasses--am I right? Mixed drinks are good, too. And properly strong. Ask for a red headed slut. Do it, you know you want to. Beer. Served in a can. Are you seeing a trend here? No glass in a bar is really a wise move if you ask me. While I've never SEEN a bar fight at Adair's, if there were to be one, there'd be no risk of breaking glass a la Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore. At least not on the patron's side of the bar. How smart is THAT? Plus, as has been mentioned before, they have Lone Star. I'm a fan.
Let's talk atmosphere. This is where I want to be romanced. Seriously. It's covered floor to--and--ceiling in permanent marker with scribblings of customers. I have added a few of my own. But to be different, I used a blue Bic ballpoint pen. There are traffic signs hung on the walls along with the typical neon beer signs. Even the bathrooms have been covered entirely in graffiti. So if you ever need bathroom reading material, you're in good hands. Music. There's usually live music, and the kicker is, it's usually GOOD. Covers of Johnny Cash and Robert Earl Keen have been played before, to my delight. And when the live music stops (and I stop screaming "TAKE OFF YOUR TOP!"), there's a pretty nifty juke box outfitted with some great country classics and even some fun rock 'n roll to, well, rock to.
If you're a smoker, you'll make friends out back while you puff away. If you're not, you'll make friends at the bar. No matter who you are, you'll enjoy yourself at Adair's. -

Dear Adairs
Oh how I love and miss you. I know it was short but our love affair was so passionate for the year I could not live without you that I often still think of you.
Your pool tables are warped as all get out but I still love to play on them just for the challenge of getting a ball in the hole..
I have had many pleasurable experiences here when Eleven Hundred Springs was on stage and still unknown.
And my favorite memory was when I was back stage upstairs at Gypsy Tea Room and Willie Nelson asked me where I got my burger. I answered Adairs and he asked me if I would get him one with fries because he did not like the Mexican food Gypsy Tea Room was catering. I still tease him that I had to pay for his burger out of my own pocket because they would not take the one hundred dollar bill he gave me..
I hope you are doing well and I will visit next time I am in Dallas.

A saloon! I'm not sure if I've ever been to any other saloon before.
If you visualize an old-timey Western watering hole- you're not completely off the mark. But this one has a special 'je ne sais quoi" that I would say is a special blend of middle-of-nowhere-Texas-town and some deep south'rn style.
The mood is set with the dim lighting. Your eyes struggle to read the ubiquitous written comments and stories left by patrons of years gone by, that will last forever on the walls, tables, ceiling, etc.- thanks to the permanence of a classic black Sharpie.
The music is good- and they have a jukbox, which I failed to check out on my short visit.
The beer is mostly in cans. Why yes, I will have a PBR, thank you very much. However, I'm sad to say there is no recycling? (Get on that!) -

Well, I am not from TX and although most people mention words like cowboy when they talk about this place all I could think of were some of the whole in the wall bars from back home that we would go to. Cheap beer, great juke box and one hell of a grilled cheese sandwich will ensure that I make it back. Maybe not tomorrow but I'll be there again.
Don't forget your marker if you go. If you can find a place to write on the wall, cup, or even the light bulbs you are free to leave a note. -

Guys at Adair's, thanks for being so tolerant of my drunkened B.S. back around the first of November.
Sorry about the gigantic penis I drew on the life sized Cigarette advertisement. I think those promotional girls were really pissed, because they followed me outside yelling.
Anyway, I plan to visit you again if and when I return to Dallas. -

I love that there's a place in Dallas where you can grab a marker from 6-pack of beer carboard container (now being used a ketchup/salt/pepper/napkin caddy) and leave your mark. When my husband used to have happy hour with the boys every week (I didn't stop him - I think he's just getting old - Ha Ha!), Adairs was their Wednesday night choice. With one of the best burgers in Dallas and $1.50 drafts, you can't go wrong. Hubby dearest walked many a tab there, but since they weren't worried about whether or not he'd be back, they didn't abide by the additional $20 fee that is customary thesedays for a walked tab.
With great Texas country music, sit back (maybe on the shuffleboard table on a busy night), crack open a can of Lone Star beer, see the writings on the wall, and maybe even leave a mark of your own.
