what can i add to the reviews already here?
we were lee harvey's regulars before it was discovered by the bud light crowd. and those were the glorious days. luckily when i visit now my fond memories of that time over ride the fedora wearers and the old men asking if we're hired to sit at the bar for "color."
oh yeah.. and everything they feed you kicks ass. -

Monday is $1 steak and fish tacos and happy hour til 2am.
Tuesday is 1/2 price burgers.
If you befriend Lee Harvey's on facebook you can compete to be the 5th to respond to their daily post to get a free meal that day. FREE! -

I've been to Lee Harvey's multiple and it hasn't disappointed me at all!
The food and the patio is what makes me want to come back. I haven't caught a show while going to Lee Harvey's, but I've heard great stuff about it. It's also great that if you "like" Lee Harvey's on Facebook that you can get a chance to get a free meal, if you're quick enough to comment on their status!
Don't let the looks of a sketchy neighborhood discourage you, just grab a picnic table with your friends, have a cold one and enjoy! -

So many great reviews representative of a great place!
What a wonderful bar! When the weather is fair, the patio is one the best places to spend an evening with friends. When it's cold, it's even better with the fire pits. The bar provides firewood for your pleasure, and you go home with the wonderful smell of campfire. I won't be doing laundry any time soon!
It can be hard to find the first time you come, so make sure you pack that GPS for the camping trip. There is live music and food specials on particular nights that are great too. Highly recommended! -

What a really cool bar! Though I tend to frequent lounges and quieter spots, I was in Dallas and wanted to check out a popular local haunt and Lee Harvey's seemed like the perfect place.
With the capacity for hundreds of people this is the perfect bar for a night on the town with some friends. In fact, I felt pretty jealous when I saw dozens of tables outside for guests to hang out on all night long. Living in Seattle we just don't have anything like that! The bar looked and felt like a cozy spot for a late night BBQ with friends. But with booze included! There were even set ups for live bands and bowls set out for folks who brought their dogs. It seemed as Texas as Texas can be and I loved it!
Didn't try the food when I was there but spotted the menu and everything looked pretty good. Don't expect any award winning cocktails but if you like beer, shots or cheap and easy drinks, this is exactly where you'll want to be all night long. -

Everyone loves Lee Harvey's and I am not going to decent but I do wish to provide a different point of view on why this place is so damned cool. Most people may know LH when it is a busy hipster hangout with music and a good sized crowd but fewer may realize that LH can be a great place for a quiet drink as well. Lee Harvey's is open during the largely vacant hours between lunch and happy hour on weekends and weekdays. When it is empty, LH becomes the world's coolest backyard connected to a cool old house full of classic Americana mantiques. They serve food the entire time so grab a cold beer from the friendly bartender, maybe an order of rings ir a burger and enjoy the enormous patio area under the blue sky on a cool day in Dallas. Try LH when it is quiet.

Had dinner on a Monday night & was really impressed with the Owner. I noticed how personable he was not to mention our names were similar.
The burger was fantastic and didn't lack that homemade feel. The wings were spiced just right and the atmosphere was perfect.
I've been converted--Maple & Motor doesn't compare. -

Living in DFW for your years, I had never been to Deep Ellum. BUT that all changed Labor Day weekend and I was introduced to this wonderful dive bar.
A good friend and fellow Yelper, Tisha E. usually meets friends for $1 Taco night on Mondays. Let's just say you need to go to Lee Harvey's for $1 Taco night.
On Labor Day, we decided to go have a few beers and some $1 Taco. This was probably one of the best times I've had at a bar next to seeing Graceland Ninjaz here (but we'll get to that later)!
They sell buckets of beer and you can bring your dogs especially on Sundays!
Getting back to Graceland Ninjaz...they were playing here the following Saturday so a friend decided to celebrate her 30th b-day here. Lee Harvey's was crowded and everyone was here to see the Graceland Ninjaz! They were amazing and are a must see if you never have!
I'm definitely looking forward to returning to Lee Harvey's!
Come discover this dive bar in Deep Ellum. -

What a great little dive! Very friendly people and the food is good. I especially liked the onion rings and the sauce they serve it with. It's a little dark on the other side of the bar, so don't expect bright surroundings. Outside is where to be when the weather is nice. I had the tacos and they were OK, but I'd love to go back and try more of the menu.

What a great laid back outdoor venue! I went with a larger group to listen to a live band on a Saturday night and was impressed.
I recommend if you have a larger group to go earlier to save some seats, but it can definitely accomodate large groups, some indoor seating is available.
The live music was just okay, I was overly excited about hearing a band with ninjas in the title (elvis ninjas, memphis ninjas, something to that sort) which was elvis with a twist....so they sang current music like elvis. I think I would have perferred elvis music with a current twist but it was still entertaining and free.
I thought bud lite in a bottle was over-priced but it wasn't ridiculous either.
I had a burger, a really good burger but they give you a ton of food, I couldn't finish it.
I look forward to going back to hear a different band in the future. -
Review from Chris B.
When Ambiance is a factor- this is the place!
The burger is above average, the fries and onion rings are delicious and the service is pretty good! There's a good smoke flavor to the burger, thick cheese and world class buns.
Yes, it's the hood- complete with random dogs and sirens in the near distance. The tables are old wooden picnic tables, the bathrooms have the "no you can't see your veins in this bathroom" colored lighting. But the live music in the evenings is good, the fire pits are warm and beer flows. Did I mention friendly, fast service?!
During the day it's a place to grab an awesome burger with friends. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed. -

Let me preface all of this by saying that I am a textbook reluctant hipster that hates all things hipster. So, when I was first introduced to Lee Harvey's via my love for Geeks Who Drink, I really didn't want to like it. However, I soon discovered that this place is hard not to love.
Parking: The neighborhood is very safe, despite how it looks. Parking and walking to the patio is no problem.
Service: Easily one of the best things about Lee Harvey's is how awesome their servers are. They're always willing to joke around or make suggestions.
Vibe: Super chill and very community oriented. One of my favorite things about Dallas winters is going to Lee Harvey's and huddling around one of their wood furnaces. Their dog friendly attitude is also greatly appreciated and enjoyed.
Menu and Price: Here's a random night I enjoyed there recently - I ordered an awesome veggie quesadilla for a great price and was washing it down with an equally affordable Lone Star. Then, a random dude sits down next to us and says he's working for Lone Star. He then gave us free swag just for drinking their beer!
So, even though I will still continue to hold angst for most of my hipster brethren, I will never hold any ill will towards Lee Harvey's. Even though I've lost every single "facebook friend of the day" contest I've ever entered. -

Yes, yes, yes. Dive bar with straightshooting service, good jams, great burgers and an awesome patio. It was raining the night I came, but there was an obvious congregation of loyalists who felt right at home.
This is where I had my first Lone Star. Just in town for the weekend, I had vowed to only drink Texas brews. Friday night, Shiner. Saturday, Saint Arnold Lawnmower. Come Sunday, I asked the bar keep at Lee Harvey's what it should be, and the simplicity and assuredness of his answer was nirvana. Lone Star. It was, by far, my favorite. -

If you are looking for a dive bar this is not it. There are plenty of dives in Dallas--just go south or east and find a neighborhood where you wonder if it's safe to leave your car unattended and look for the place with a blinking neon sign and bars on the windows.
If, on the other hand, you are the type of person who likes to use the term "dive bar" when what you really mean is "a place with its own web page frequented by mostly middle to upper class class white people that is somewhat styled like an old biker hang out," then you'll love this place.
In any case, if it's a nice night and you're looking for the best patio/outdoor scene in Dallas, then Lee Harvey's is unequivocally, inarguably the place to be. There's not even any competition. What else could a person suggest? The Amsterdam has a nice patio, but it's also small. And go anywhere north of that and you run the risk of the place being overrun with groups of perpetual frat boys in untucked button down shirts giving high fives and leering at women as if they should be served up on a platter.
The food here is good--and cheap on some weeknights. The beer is cold and affordable. And they have liquor, too. If you're looking for service with a smile you are probably going to end up out of luck, but who really cares? The point is to go with a friend or a group of friends, sit outdoors, watch the crowd, and on weekends watch the music. -

The bartenders had that too cool to care attitude but took care of their guest making sure we were fed and hydrated. There was a chicken wing special that was going on this wed. Scott picked up the tab and also managed to cover my Red Bull.
We played Mrs. Pacman on the vintage arcade console. Played some Blondie, Portishead, and Beatles on the FREE jukebox. Casual spot.
My first time here was impressive. The girls at work keep telling me to try roadrunner sandwich.
The patio looks like the perfect spot to host the ironic cover bands that play there.
"Austinish" with the Dallas cool. -

I shot by Lee Harvey's yesterday for a late lunch and realized that I had not written a review on my favorite patio and dive bar. Lee Harvey's is seriously not like any bar in Dallas. Lee Harvey's used to be a house, but little can be seen of its old life (minus the creepy shower in the women's bathroom). The inside bar is just a laid back, little side note to the fantastic patio, but you can't ignore the awesome setup of the bar-centric inside that allows you constant and hilarious access to the bartenders who are always a hoot. But seriously, let's talk about the patio. It is beyond awesome in the Spring, Fall and yes even in the cold Winter. As a matter of fact, even when it's cold, there are fireplaces to keep you toasty and you can buy a pack to make s'mores. :) Also, doggies are always welcome as long as they play well with others and are neutered.
But let's get to the REAL reason I love Lee Harvey's. It is not the awesome events, sweet people, constant access to four legged friends or the great drink prices... IT IS THE FOOD. Baby... the food is seriously fantastic and is not like any bar food you've ever had because it is quality and seriously delicious. Plus, they make a mean aioli. So give it a try. You will not be disappointed. -

Lee Harvey's is awesome. A great patio, which is not a big selling point in the middle of a brutal Dallas Summer. But come October I'm RUNNING, not walking, to the nearest picnic table and making a day of this fabulous place located in what seems like the middle of nowhere. The outdoor area is kind of like going to Adult Camp: There are yard games, a campfire and beer.
Great atmosphere and service! -

Played gig here once before during the day and had to run off right after playing to another gig. So I did not get to spend much time there and my band mates got me the drinks while I was there.
So when my wife wanted to go back I was eager to revisit. Very cool patio and dogs welcome.
We didn't make it very far. Walked in the double gate, up to the house, excited to get a beer, stood at the bar while a grumpy bartender moped around taking care of customers. We just seemed to be a major annoyance to him. Maybe he has been working in the bar business too long.
I'm always baffled when the bartender doesn't acknowledge you and you have to ask if it's ok to order after standing at the bar for minutes watching them do every thing but ask how they can help you.
We left without ordering a single thing. When to another restaurant that wanted our business.
Get rid of the grumpy employees! Who wants to put up with that, much less pay $ for it. -

I SOOOOOO want to give this place 5 stars but can't. The food is great, location great, atmosphere great, chill laid back vibe great! BUT...SERVICE is shitty. I can't blame the servers though. I've been going here for awhile.
It used to be Dallas' best kept secret, for the Cedars residents and those "in the know." Thanks to Yelp and word of mouth, this place boomed with an influx of people from all over. The secret is out and I don't think Lee Harvey's has the waitstaff/bartenders who can handle high flows of activity. They may have been great for slow days and limited clientele, but throw a full house (or even a quarter full house) and they get in the weeds very quickly leading to "less than desirable service.
Went there last Sunday when it was raining (hint...means it was unusually slow). So walk up to the bartender to place drink/food order. He was curt and appeared that I was inconveniencing him. I overheard him say to another bartender "Man I'm just ready to leave this place."
(It gets better)...So, in comes a waitress, clearly frustrated at I don't know what, and I hear her say, "I need to get out of this service industry."
And that was on a slow afternoon. Other days we have been there service was about the same. Beware of the old bartender lady. She can pretty testy too.
In short, great place but they need new servers/bartenders who can actually handle the patrons coming to this place.
Still great place to go. Just don't expect great service. Or a happy smiling face. You may be having a good time there, but those who work there clearly are not. -

I'm coming back to jump on the taco train. I probably should get the "that's what she said"'s out of the way now. TWSS, TWSS!
You know how your taste buds change every so often? Well mine were craving the fish taco last night. Not sure why, because other than sushi I'm not a real big fish lover. I ordered two steak tacos, and one fish taco. I have to say the fish taco may have stolen the show. The fish was light and lightly battered. Kind of melted in your mouth. There was a little dab of some chipotle or something sauce on them. Not spicy or anything. And some slaw. It was really tasty!
So srsly, if you haven't gone to Lee Harvey's on Monday for $1 tacos, you are really missing out. Not to mention happy hour is all day. $2.50 well drinks FTW. Between my friend and I, we had 5 tacos, 2 whiskey drinks, a beer - all for about $11. Nice.
**update - Lee Harvey's just told me they put chipotle aioli on the fish tacos (the same sauce you get with the onion rings). YumListed in: Dallas Patio's, Places to Get a Cold Beer, Music Venues, Happy Hour, Downtown Dallas

If you look up fucking awesome in the dictionary, there is a picture of Lee Harvey's beside it. I do not have enough good things to say about this place!
Monday: $1 taco night - steak or fish
Tuesday: 1/2 price burger night
Wednesday: half price wings
All day happy hour on Sunday and feel free to bring your pup for a play date!
I love hitting Lee Harvey's before concerts over at Palladium since it's about halfway for me.
Last time we went it was Tuesday, and you are seriously missing out if you haven't had this burger. You pick how it's cooked, the cheese, any toppings (may be extra), and whether you want fries, onion rings, or the combo (pick the combo).
I had a beer and 2 cocktails with my burger and my bill was $11.16.
I'm sorry, was that a mistake? No, no it was not. Lee Harvey's, will you marry me?
There is no wait service during the week, but the bartenders are badass. Just tell them what you want and go check back in 15 minutes for food.
Live music on the weekends and special events some saturdays.
Check out their facebook page, too. They do a contest every day where the 5th person to comment wins a free meal and drink on the bartender's tab. -

My experience at Lee Harveys' was alright. I met up with some friends for Halloween last night and was glad to see the majority of the people dressing up. The drinks were a little on the high side but the atmosphere was nice. As I looked around and watched the bands play I couldn't help but feel like this was more of a place for locals then newcomers. The band that was on stage played some really good covers and I actually enjoyed it. I decided to get a bucket of beer hoping the more alcohol in my system would up my mood and make this place more enjoyable. The bartender with gray slicked back hair was a straight up dick. I understand if you busy but that is no excuse to be rude and throw beers into a bucket. That really killed my night, So I stand by what I said, this place is alright.

Jeez, I don't yelp for ages, then I get on a kick. While making my dog list, I had to come put my 2 cents on Lee Harveys:
Cool vibe, diverse group of people, the opposite of pretentious
Little house, big yard, party all the time
Fire pits
Outdoor movies
Good bar food!!
Buckets O Beer!!
picnic tables!!
Off leash Doggie fun (Sundays only)
Great specials, every day
Friendly service
Live music or juker, no unch unch EVER
Can't go wrong, another great place to bring out of towners - they would never suspect a place this cool would be in DALLAS :)
I think the me of a few years ago would probably tried to move in this place - it really is a house! Luckily, the me now is happy to just visit. Often. See you there??Listed in: Four Legged Friends, Real People, Best Bathrooms

This is a nice little dive tucked away in a bad part of town. It's unlike any other place you'll go. Don't let it fool you or scare you, the food is great as is the staff. The place is basically a house with a front yard, only the front yard was turned into one giant patio. If I lived closer, I'd be a regular here for the food alone.
Quick tip: this is not the kind of place you wear your best cloths too. Leave the nice shoes at home. The front area is gravel and since there's not much to an inside, you will more than likely be out in the elements. -

Patio Time!!!
Good thing Spring is starting to rear it's ever elusive head, because I was getting a little antsy for some warm rays on my face. The Ice Queen is a bitch. Doesn't she know how us Dallasites rely on our patios for some fun!?
Well Lee Harvey's is all patio! There is a section before the bar's entrance that lends itself to some outside experiences that can be enclosed in that plastic stuff they use as substitutes for windows. It is also great for some live music, which I did enjoy last Friday night.
The actual inside bar is teeny and definitely not why people visit. Well, except for the rad jukebox and gnarly, gas station seats.
Lee Harvey's reminded me of this secret, hidden hide out only a few people know about and what happens at Lee Harvey's stays at Lee Harvey's. It is not easy find for the first time, it is in between warehouses south of Dallas and is not visible from the streets.
I have heard great things about the burgers and unleashing of the dogs on Sunday, which gives me even more incentive for returning.Listed in: Good for Groups, What Makes A Hipster?, Can't Beat a Good Burger

I introduced Caroline H and her gentleman friend to Lee Harvey's last night for the Yelp & Dallas Moustache Movember Happy Hour. Although they're more yacht club, I think they had a great time.
Here are few pointers:
- Grab the closest seat possible to a furnace outdoors, cause it gets nipply out there in the winter months!
- Bring a few dollar bills for the jukebox
- Go on a Monday or Tuesday for sweet food deals. The dollar tacos on Mondays are the size of my palm (and I have small hands!), so order two more than you think you'll eat.
- The drinks are poured heavy here, so be prepared for your Maker's with ginger ale to taste more like Maker's on the rocks.
- And no, your car isn't going to get broken into.
Grab a seat, enjoy your fellow bar mates and chillax. And don't say chillax in there... you'll get funny looks.Comment from Seth S. of Lee Harvey's 11/16/2010

Lee Harvey's is fast becoming a favorite place of mine. I love the fact that it's pretty much all patio. One of the best in Dallas, fo' sho! Live music here is really fun to watch, too! I've seen a few bands here and I've enjoyed each one.
The food here is usually pretty top notch. I friggin' LOVE the burgers. I took my dad here for his birthday two years in a row, and this year, he wanted a burger. It was good, except we were disappointed in the bread. Usually it's hot, soft, and buttered. The bread we got was neither. It tasted stale, like it had been out for a while. It kinda made the whole burger not-so-great.
I'll be back again, though, and hopefully the next one I order will return the Lee Harvey's Burger back to its glory. -
Review from Megan M.
I like Lee Harvey's. Really. I've been enough times, with enough different people, to have seen a cross section of what a true Lee Harvey's experience is like. The food is great - burgers are best on Tuesday when they're 1/2 price - the drinks are stout, the beer is cold, the prices won't make you feel like you've been Rick Rolled, the picnic table/fire pit yard is best experienced on a chilly night when the stars are twinkling and the smores are in abundance. See. I like Lee Harvey's.
What I don't like is the surly staff. I get it. They're all a bunch of cool cats whose secret got out and now they're stuck playing host to the Uptown crowd that decides to slum it for the night. That would piss me off, too. But I'm not one of the Uptown kids giving them attitude for being on the wrong side of the tracks. I'm a great customer. Serve me good food with cold beer and smile at me once or twice and I'll tip the hell out of you and tell all my friends.
Lighten up, Lee Harvey's. I don't expect you to kiss my ass but it sure would be nice to not see your lip curl up when you realize I'm not one of your coveted regulars. Really. -

-Dodgy location (and a scandalous name)
-Yay for dog watching and smoker friendly patio
- Also a yay for very unique people watching, nice break from the omnipresent SMU element in the rest of downtown D
- I will be back to watch live music and enjoy the firepits!
- Will be bringing my artists siblings from Oakland here when they visit, this is a place cool enough for them lol -

This was my first trip there and I loved it!
Atmosphere: Bascially a house turned into restaurant with the front yard being all picnic tables.
The burger was great (one my new favorite's in dallas) the burger tasted like it was cooked on charcoal and whatever pickles they use I need to know because I'm buying some. I loved the whole picnic table concept and the band that played that night.
I will be returning! -

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK
Charged for drinks I didnt order at the bar. When I asked the female bartender (middle aged blond hair and glasses) she accused me of lying and made a huge scene at the bar to the point we had to request the manager to come.
Add to it that we had to wait for an hour to get our food and spent an hour at the end trying to get our bill straightened out and I hope you get the idea.
It's too bad bc it is a cool place with good music, but I WILL NEVER GO BACK! -

Its neon signs may be older than the regulars, but this south Dallas dive is a worthy destination for more than beer. Every weekend, live music is always excellent and there's never a cover, whether you're hearing top regional indie rock or pitch-perfect tribute bands like Le Cure, Legendary Psycho Pony and Naked Lunch. The volume allows conversation around picnic tables on their gravel patio (which, in winter, is heated by fire pits). Food-wise, whether ordering a burger or tacos you can't go wrong -- and they're now open for lunch. During Sunday's "Dog Day Afternoon" well-behaved fixed canines and their friends are allowed off leash.

I love taking my dog here on Sunday afternoons, it has become a tradition. He can run off the leash and socialize.

So we went here b/c a band my friends and I like (Petty Theft) was playing there this past Saturday. None of us had ever been there, so one of my friends had read a few of the Yelp reviews to tell us about this place. Basically what she read was they had good burgers and people liked the place.
Well on the Saturday that we went, it was really warm during the day. That night when we went, we were all wearing jeans and short sleeved shirts just b/c it was so hot during the day. We got there about 7:30 p.m. and apparently the temperature had dropped 20 degrees or so b/c we were freezing when we got out of the car. Also, we were a little over dressed for what kind of bar it was.
We did not know that the band plays outside and there are picnic benches and gravel everywhere. If you wear heels, just be careful.
Also, you can either park on the street or there is a grass and dirt lot across the street that people just randomly park there car in.
We were able to find a bench next to a fire pit and it kept us somewhat warm, but everyone wanted to be around the fire pit, so sometimes people were blocking our heat. Also, if you sit next to the fire pit, be prepared to smell like smoke and fire for the next 24 hours.
I would definitely go back if I was more prepared clothing wise. Also, the burger and onion rings that my friend and I shared was pretty good as well! -

I really wish I had come on a busier night-but it was chilly and rainy and that is a combination that apparently kills a place like this(most all seating is outside or on the covered but open air patio). I would have loved to have seen this place in full swing and see the kind of crowd it gets. As it was I had a good time.
I sat at the bar and nursed a few beers while watching the bartender argue with a patron about how popular the Superbowl will be here in Dallas. While we did that we were watching the Pack destroy Atlanta on the one ancient TV above the bar-every time the back door was opened the set completely lost the picture. It was hilarious(come on-if I was really wanting to watch the game I would have been at a sports bar)and the fact that it didn't piss me off seemed to earn me some cred as I got a couple of strong drinks to toast with the bar staff(couldn't tell you what it was-whatever they were drinking).
After a while some regulars started coming in-and I had to love the vibe. Anyplace that lets a dog stand on his hind legs at the bar like he is ordering is OK in my book. The vibe is cool,staff was great, drinks are strong, and the tv reception sucks. What more can a boy ask for?
I will def. be going back-probably on a Monday next time for the taco special!Listed in: Beer,Beer,Beer

I really like this place, but it's a little far from Plano. The good news is you can take the DART to it. The burger here is great!!! It's one of the few burgers that make me not want to grill. That's high praise, holmes.
I liked the buffalo wings, and I really want to try the tacos....but that burger keeps me coming back to it.Comment from Seth S. of Lee Harvey's 2/28/2011
We're very happy that the DART rail (Cedars Station) is so… More » -

We just moved here a few weeks ago and this place actually made me wanna write my first review!
I LOVE LEE HARVEYS! The food was great (and cheap!! yayyy!!!) and coming the vibe was VERY COOL. Coming from Philly we are really picky! We went on a Wednesday and it was 1/2 off wings, which we could not finish because there burgers are huge but next time I go I think I'll try the $1 Taco night on a Monday. -

Lee Harvey has been shot!
Want a big place to just go hang out and enjoy a cool Dallas night? Want listen to live music al fresco? Want to enjoy some great bar food? Want all this and have great drinks at the same time? Then head to Lee Harvey's.
The actual building is much too small to be enjoyed by more than 30 people at a time, but Lee Harvey's real draw is their large open yard full of picnic tables, a stage and sound system. This is where my friends and I spend most of our time. You can listen to some of the coolest bands, usually without a cover charge.
Of course there are a few reasons to go inside, namely the pool table, juke box (when a band isn't playing), kitchen and the bathrooms. The men's bathroom is somewhat of a altar to every truck stop in the west. There are more messages carved or marked on the walls and ceiling than I've ever seen anywhere else.
The food and drinks are always good, never had a problem. I enjoy the burgers and fries. They have great deals during the week, including half priced burgers on Tuesdays. Great for those weeks when you are "sick" on Wednesday.
Add them to your libations rotation!
