Crowdus Bar

Fun bar! The neon aesthetic / lighting of this place is super lively and the bartenders are awesome at their skill. My boyfriend told the bartender to give us two paleta shots and surprise us with another round. The bartender understood the assignment 🙌🏼 I enjoyed that when we visited, it was slower than usual, so the bartender took a moment to talk with us. He was very nice! The music inside this place is loud, so this is definitely the spot to turn up; not the spot to sit down and talk with friends or your significant other. This place is perfect for the bar hopper hoping to dance and turn up! Definitely recommend.

That's a awesome location to have a good time. Always nice people, good music and good drinks... Check it out it's a great place!!!

If you're looking for a place to get you drunk then this is the place. Their drinks are strong and their service is fast. This isn't my type of place but my friends wanted to come here. They have a dance floor and the DJ was good and played a variety of music. Everyone had a good time.

Read this review of actual experiences inside of the bar. Not from people who want to write something bad because of someone they follow. Or a review because they followed the LAW and TABC and didn’t allow someone in without a passport or a valid US ID. I have gone into this bar a few time in the last few years. I’ve seen many staff come into this place. I’ve never had an issue from waiting in line to getting a drink. I’m very thankful for this place and have always have a great time when I stop by.

The weirdest bar in deep Ellum. Sometimes it’s a lively club with great music sometimes it’s empty, dirty, and stinky with the worst vibes you could imagine. One time I came here with a group and we were the only people there yet the bartenders took their time getting to us and the DJ didn’t turn down his terrible mix despite our request. So it goes. I think the stars really have to align for this place to be even semi-enjoyable.

Came in with a party of 4. One of us ordered a ginger ale and a shot. They gave him a plastic bottle of ginger ale that we took a drink of. And some aggressive security guard came over and said we had to leave. I asked why he says “ you guys bought outside food and drinks”. He’s referring to the bottle of soda we JUST bought from the bar and the bartender even confirmed. Dude starts yelling telling us to “ Get the f out “ just aggressive for no reason. The bartenders were the only ones apologizing. But ask a simple question before accusing. We ended up leaving ourselves and Buddy came outside to continue to argue. This place is a weird vibe. Security guard was a 6’1 headstrong, stubborn, passive aggressive coward who needs some therapy. Pass up this bar for sure.

Short man with dreads and knee-high jeans (lol) was extremely rude to my friend. It was her 21st birthday and she jokingly said what can she get for free for her bday and he went off saying we weren’t tipping and what they paid for “goes to the bar”. Do they not pay you? And we asked and there is gratuity included in the total. I wouldn’t recommend this place to not a soul because of him.

Checked this place out on a Wednesday of all times, really enjoyed the conversation with the bartender. Really laid back on the weekday in my experience but still had a lively feel because of the whole neon and music. Would definitely love to check out what Friday’s here look like. Drink was priced fairly well for the area and liquor to soda ratio was on point.

Love this place. The staff does a good job of keeping the mouthy riffraff out. The drinks are priced high which cuts down on the "woo girl" factor.

This is my absolute favorite bar in deep ellum! Music is always amazing and people are so friendly! I love this place and always go when I'm in the area! The male bartenders are always great (can't say that about the female ones I've come across) but absolutely go if you are in deep ellum! You won't be disappointed

Only been open about 3 weeks. This place took over Drugstore Cowboy... and I have to say it's quite a change! Lol The vibe is very throwback, they only play 80's and 90's music. Adds a new twist to what Deep Ellum is used to. Let's see if this place lasts. Drinks are average priced, bar tenders are friendly. If you don't like the music, at least come in and take a picture in the swing egg things lol - do it for the gram ( not sure if kids still say that but it felt right )

Shady business practices. I always wondered why this place was never packed. Living right next door, the place has potential. Decided to give it a try post-Covid. Got 4 western son vodka drinks. Tab came out to $60. Asked for an itemized receipt and the response was "oh... we don't provide those". Luckily I payed with my American Express and I will be disputing the charge until they provide an itemized receipt. Service is trash. Bartenders were eating while serving?? Now it makes sense why this place is never busy.

Any other night crowdus would get 5 stars from me. Every other time I have been to this bar has been great, fun and nice people and an overall great time. Tonight however is a different story. Yes I know it's Halloween weekend but the behavior exhibited by the bouncer tonight was intolerable. We (party of 4) got to the door and we're told the bar was almost at capacity so we'd have to wait, the bouncer asked us to move behind the stantions and we did. While we waited he let a group of 3 in, and people exited. He still did not let us in. When my husband tried to ask him questions about why he wasn't letting us in when people had left he told my husband he didn't understand him. When our friend asked to speak to a manager the bouncer told us he was the manager. It was extremely disrespectful and very unlike any other time we had ever been there. We had hyped this bar up to our friends who had never been there only to deal with this situation. I don't know if we will ever go back, which is sad bc it had been a fave of ours.

CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS FOLKS!!! Gratuity is INCLUDED. Of course my fault for not checking but still not cool! Morgan B gave herself an automatic 20% tip for mediocre service? Well HNY to you, i hope that extra $5...Neh not worth saying anything mean but you get me ;)What a bummer! And I liked this place too. Good music, cool vibes.

I like the vibe here and will likely come back, that said-- check your receipts! I tipped the bartender and gratuity is apparently already included on the bill. So he got a $4 tip on a $8 drink-- not happy!

Not sure why this place was included on the Halloween bar crawl lineup, but it was. It's clear the bar staff is not used to servicing large crowds, and has no desire. Literally, their bartenders were selectively ignoring customers, it was the oddest thing I have ever seen. I tried to figure it out if it was based on costume or something.. nope.. so I'm not sure what it was, but I won't be back to find out. I would recommend this place to the few people I don't like very much.. but otherwise stay away. - better bars on the block for sure.

Such a cute bar, great music (after 10 is when the DJ plays, I believe) and awesome light up dance floor! Great scene for cute pictures!

Love coming here for some good tunes and drinks. Extra excited that Jay is behind the bar now too. I've never gotten drinks quicker

the dudes working at the front checking ids can be very disrespectful to the ladies. Unsolicited disrespectful and vulgar comments. If you go here definitely be safe and always be with someone you trust.

I absolutely love coming here on the weekends! Especially when I see my favorite bartender JAY!! He definitely knows how to make me a good crown apple and sprite

Place is great! The bartender Sam is awesome! So friendly and funny, really makes you feel welcome. Its such a small place it's easily missed, but if you are lucky enough to stumble upon it you won't be disappointed. It's definately one of my favorite bars.

They hit woman steal your money and treat you like trash. They make you pay cash so they can rip you off and there's nothing you can do about it because they'll lie to the police authorities and say you didn't pay.

The bartenders are so cute and sweet can they pop their tops every once in a while!? Be friendly and nice and you'll get the same in return! Weekends are lit!

Amazing bar! Great staff and fun drinks. They bring in fresh Dj's and cool vibes! It's also pretty safe doesn't get too crazy.

Unorganized after the quarantine. The vibe was nice but not yet back to normal. I pulled up on a scooter and one of the new bouncers looked at me sideways. I assumed he didn't like the lime scooters in deep ellum when I showed up. So he didn't let me in after leaving to grab food. I left after I noticed they were empty when I arrived after cruising on the scooter. Bring back the old crowdus!

Poor service and poor attitudes all around. The owner has a habit of kicking people out who are not polished in their looks regardless of his ever changing dress code.

White bouncer don't wanna let my friend in cause he in shorts and it hot ass hell but making y'all loose money make it make sense it's fucking Sunday

I love the vibe here! Definitely a very chill retro wave kinda vibe going on. Never had any problems with the bartenders. They were attentive and gave me my drink pretty fast. Though i will admit they are a bit on the pricey side since they charge you for gratuity (which is why i wont give this place a 5 stars). But besides that the vibe is great, no problems personally with the bartenders, and a great place to bring a large group of friends and have a good time! Will be coming again!

This is such a fun bar! It's like a flashback into time, in the best way! Great bartenders, ask for Corey... he's the shit! And the DJs kill it! You won't be disappointed!!

Definitely run by amateurs. Music was loud, place was empty and service was terrible. I think i was dealing with the owner at one point. Short, scrawny fella, think his name was Korey Gooder? Anyway, you could tell he was in WAY over his head (pun intended) and he drove the epitome of douche cars. Hopefully it changes ownership and gets

Bartenders are great... and the vibe of being one of a kind, is great since all other clubs in Deep Ellum play the same music.... I definitely don't mind the drive from Allen to there.

Racially tone bartender. Bartender literally lied and stated that my card was not working even though it worked at 5 other establishments down there that night...and after running it the last time, instead of apologizing basically told me don't hate the player hate the game.
