Oak Cliff Social Club

So this place is interesting in that if you come in for a drink during the hours of 1-7 it’s a very nice place to have one (though some of the drinks can be strangely expensive, and also the whole non itemized receipts thing) but from 8 to closing time you’re risking it. I feel bad for the residents living in the apartments across because that patio gets way too out of control. I guess what I’m saying is OCSC is good for a couple of drinks but I would maybe avoid getting drunk here.

Wife and I came in on a Saturday afternoon to shoot some pool. A little dark inside but the bartenders made the atmosphere welcoming. One with the beard made us a badass espresso martini. Would definitely come back. Cool spot to get some drinks and chill 👍

This bar allows their patrons to sit outside on their back patio that faces an apartment building until 2am and sometimes 3am. It’s unbelievably loud. The back patio should close at a reasonable hour each night so the residents who live across the street can enjoy some quiet time throughout the night without being woken up by loud drunk people. It’s a nightmare living across from this establishment. There are also fights every single weekend that spill out into the street. It’s just atrocious. I hope their ownership has some common sense and chooses to respect noise ordinance and close the back patio down at a reasonable hour each night. Myself and others have already made several calls to the police and have filed a complaint with the city. One way or the other this bar will respect noise ordinance. I just hope they do it on their own before it gets messy with the law. Additionally, they never answer their phone and their mailbox is full so they cannot accept voicemails. So far all I can say is that this is a poorly run establishment. Please have respect for your neighbors. That’s all we ask. Update: somehow this place is even worse now than it was when I wrote the original review. Their patrons get hammered drunk and start fights and pull guns on each other. They’ve been visited by the police several times at this point. So, honestly, if you don’t want to get shot by an over-served dude open-carrying a Glock, maybe avoid this place. This place really needs to be shut down.

First and LAST time going to this place. We came for a few drinks on Saturday 8/9 around 11pm and the female waitress was extremely rude. She snapped her fingers at us and made a gesture for us to hurry up and give her our card to tab out. I have never left a $0.00 tip in my life until this day.

I was really disappointed with my experience at this bar. A fight broke out, and the so-called "bouncer" did absolutely nothing to stop it. It felt unsafe, and the lack of security was concerning. On top of that, people leaving the bar drunk were speeding through local streets, making it dangerous for pedestrians and residents. This place seriously needs better security and more responsibility when it comes to handling rowdy guests. Someone is going to get hurt if they don’t get things under control.

The principle is simple: patrons should remain indoors after 10:30–11:00 p.m., especially in venues near residential areas, where noise ordinances apply to both businesses and residents alike. This cannot be a one-sided compromise. Owners should consider the math—multiple residents paying $2,000 a month have far more influence than a single business paying $8–10K in rent. A persistent issue as avoidable as noise from lingering patrons can easily lead to formal complaints—and ultimately, a shutdown. Would hate to see it, but it's called taking responsibility.

Ariana is so attentive and personable she is the reason we frequent here. Fast, friendly, and welcoming!! We will return Because of her!

I been coming here for years and the crowd has definitely changed. It’s less rowdy. The prices are little high but so is everything. It’s the times we’re living in. The bartenders are amazing! The only thing I wish they would make changes to is update the jukebox. When I say it’s limited… it’s LIMITED. I still love this bar & would recommend it to anybody.

Location Downtown Oak Cliff Parking Street Atmosphere Oak Cliff neighborhood bar-everyone know us! Pool tables Seating Bar and high tops Service Outstanding!!! Anisette and Lenny ROCK it!!! Menu Full bar no food-food is next door for tacos We had hard seltzer and beer. We are pretty picky about flavors-they brought out a whole new case of High Noon Pineapple! Yeah! Beer choices are awesome! We were lucky to be there for DJ Friday!! I was ready to dance!! Summary AMAZING local bar-friendly, immediate service, chill atmosphere. Love this place! Yes, our picture is on the wall!

Great bar to grab a drink with friends, or watch a game. Anna is the best bartender ever!! She makes awesome drinks, and is always up for great conversation. Like a therapist, but with alcohol

Very low key bar, they have a jukebox and pool tables. The bartender was friendly and recommended the taco place two doors down.

It's a dive bar. It's awesome, because dive bars are awesome. Good prices, a juke box, no frills, a little outside patio and a pool table.

Loved the music and ambiance. Drinks were great. Atmosphere was beyond what we expected!!

$17.59 for one Don Julio Margatita gtfo while the bar tender puts on makeup and ignores you when the bar is empty and can't even have a second drink - Never coming back This ain't Vegas.

I have been trying to speak to someone in your management team. Left my business card to be called back on Tuesday 10/4, I need to file a report about a situation at your establishment, and I'm cordially attempting to contact you first hand. Please contact me back.

I'm new to the area but my friends are locals. They don't want to burn bridges but I can be honest. The management is non existant. This isnt a dive bar. Drinks are super expensive. If you ask for an itemized receipt. It will just say drink, drink, drink. Worst bar in Dallas. Bar owner is non responsive. Owner says refer to manager, who is the main bartender.

First time going to a bar and it was good vibe n everybody was nice to us, I recommend it to anyone new trying to find a good place to drink n talk n enjoy the good music.

Chloe is a super bar tender here at social doesn't get any better than this! Super friendly down to earth an beautiful best customer service I've had at the bars here in oak cliff!

Love how the bartenders here are so attentive and definitely know how to mix a drink ! Fast service and clean

MIran and Anna are the very most welcoming of hosts at Oak Cliff Social Club. I highly recommend this place for any night of the week. Mondays, in particular, are great! Made me forget it was Monday.

Honestly, at one point this was my favorite bar to go to. The staffing has changed over the years and I'm only familiar with the one of the bartenders last night. I went in and ordered two beers from Leny. When he found out, I didn't have a tab open but had been drinking there he took the beers that he handed me back. I had to tell another employee about the situation so I can get served. After last night I will not go back. If you want better service go to PHD or Cannons Conner. They're way more nicer and attentive.

This place 10/10 cannot go wrong here, THE BEST bar and bartenders ask for Chloe! Next place in DALLAS!!!

One of the best bars in Bishop Arts! Great crowd, music, drink service, games, pool tables and HAPPY HOUR SPOT AROUND!!!!

A cool little bar in Bishop Arts with a parking lot and street parking. Good place to meet up with friends or new ones. TV's to watch sports, check Pool Table, check Spots for conversation, check Fun bartenders and staff, double check. So if you haven't been here it's a definite must go.

Chloe is the best bartender she always makes the best drinks!! Always so attentive and never have to wait on anything!

Best neighborhood bar! If you life close to here this is the place to be. Service is great and music is good.

Came for my birthday and cloe took good care of us, will defiantly be bringing my friends back here for the service and the dj!!

Chloe is an absolutely amazing bartender she is such a sweetheart and takes care of her customers and treats them very well!

All I have to say is that social club is my favorite bar in all of bishop, the energy is contagious... the bartenders are super friendly, especially Chloe... I've been here witb a party of 10 and I always got taken care of, never had to wait more than 5 minutes on drinks even when it was the busiest... drink prices are great... music is on point, the dj's that play here are always playing hits... the people that drink here are all super friendly, this is my favorite bar in all of bishop!!

Been coming here for years! Love the staff & vibe! Awesome drinks! You can even play your own music

Some of my favorite people in the industry! Impeccable service and for a hot spot in dallas the prices are great! definitely recommend going to see Anna, Leny, or Chloe. They are always a great time.

Chloe is the best! She takes such good care of me every time I love her! Best of the best

Love Chloe's vibe and energy ! She was so attentive and friendly love it here ! Definitely coming back again

This place is cool, it is your basic neighborhood bar. The bartender was great and attentive. It wasn't busy at all, so maybe that helped. I had been here once before for a couple of beers, but this time I had quite a few more and the bill racked up. I like this place a lot, it has pool tables and a little area in the back to lounge and even a back patio for you smokers. The only thing is that the beers aren't cheap at all. The bill was a bit pricey. I will be back, I just won't drink as much. :)

This is the best place to have drinks the bartender are the best they always take care you can never go wrong they play music that makes you want to stay you can't go wrong with oak cliff social club

Love this place! The staff here is Amazing and super friendly! Especially David! They will make you feel comfortable by giving suggestions on drinks and keeping the environment nice and clean! Such a fun ambiance can't go wrong with pool tables and video games! 10/10 recommend!

Visited here during my first visit in Dallas. We were greeted by Mike and Jon. Hands down some of the best customer service I've ever received. Drinks were great, team was awesome, bar was dope. Would highly recommend.

This bar is very inconsistent with their service. My friends and I ordered the same drink and we got different sized and shaped cups. When we brought it up, the bartender said it depends on who the bartender is. No apologies whatsoever from the manager. On another instance, the bartender gave us back our checks and cards except for mine. I asked and he claimed he gave it to me. No one could find it and someone ended up with access to it and used it to buy things online. It was found under a chair near the bar area/POS system. I was yelled at by the male bartender and never received an apology from him or the managers. The female bartenders apologized for him and said he was known for being a jerk. The one plus about this place is that they do allow outside food since they don't offer any foods. There is a game area but it's almost always occupied. The women's restroom is at least decent but there is almost always a line. Some of the customers are rude and pushy. Some sketchy people will hang out here so do make sure to keep your belongings on you at all times. Make sure to see that you get the best bartender by watching because apparently how and what they serve your drinks on varies by bartender.

Alice was amazing!! loved the atmosphere, definitely combing back.!! The drinks were just rightz!!

Beware the sassy bartender, other than that this is a cool neighborhood bar. You'll know the one I mean. Try, "Nigel asked if you're cured yet". If you get a reaction, you'll know you got the right one!

I love this place!! Mike is the best! Always friendly and whips up the best drinks when I'm not sure what to drink. It's nice to walk in and be treated like family. Great drinks for a reasonable price. Mike is one of the best bartenders I know. Love that we have the option to play games or pool when we want to chill or put some jams on when we want to dance. You guys, ask for Mike when y'all come. He makes the best drinks in town!

The beautiful red headed bartender is so attentive! She was ready with the drink orders as soon as my drink got low. Definitely check her out!!'

Just wow, just left the bar, first time there. The bartenders made me feel comfortable and made a special cocktail for me which was impeccable. I think his name was Mike. He was bald and essentric. Atmosphere is great. Parking is a little tight but I managed. Great place to grab a quick drink. Very afford able drinks

Best neighborhood bar ever! Friendly staff. Great after work spot. And ask for Misty , she's the BEST!!! They'll even put your favorite songs on for you. Lol. Great selections.

always a great time. came for my friends birthday and Cloe made my friends birthday a night to remember !

This place is always a hit or miss, depending on the bartender that are working. He bartender, Jonathan is rude as fuck. We ordered songs for the juke box and this jerk turned the juke box off even tho the bar was almost empty. We paid for it and it should be played. This isn't the only time bartenders were rude. They need to clean up with the staff and get better people working if they expect people to come back.

Visiting dallas and staying in the area so we googled "sports clubs in the area" search returned this place! I am so glad ! First let us talk about Stephanie the bartender! She was amazing! She was on point getting us out drinks! I asked if I could have the tv changed to the Astros she was like "of course" her drinks were amazing and man her service was top notch! Our friends made a huge mess and while most people would have been dicks she was like "hey it happens" and cleaned it and joked while she did it! The music keeps rolling I haven't had to add a credit yet ! She let us bring food from another location !! Man Stephanie you are the best !! Great location ! Great everything !!

Love this place! The service and drinks are great. Chloe is literally the best. You won't be disappointed!

Super chill bar, definitely recommend for a good time, they also have pool tables and more! David will make sure you are taken care of. Will be coming back no doubt!

They have a great bartender named David. Go give him a visit! He will make the drink that you ask for! He's super cool! He also makes sure that you are well taken care of when you're almost finished with your drink lol.

The wife and I had a terrible experience here. We ordered drinks off of a specialty drink menu, the bartender asked for the menu because he said the menu was new and was unsure how to make a Moscow Mule. Terrible service, drinks were nasty and made with no thought. Much better places to go in the area.

If I can give this crappy place a zero I would!! Before my bestie and I walked in this guy automatically turned us around! What is this and why? He told us we couldn't come in because we got kicked out of 303. I explained we just got done swimming at the Adolfus and was enjoying Dallas night life. He gave us this funky attitude and told us to take our ids back and we were like OkkAayY?! o.O we just left because like, how rude?

Popped in for a drink on the way back to the car from wandering Bishop Arts and ended up staying for two! A few customers, likely regulars, were hanging out. The bartender Mike greeted us very warmly and asked what we'd like to drink. We looked at the cocktails menu and ordered a couple of their specialty drinks. Both were really good!! We sipped on those, then ordered a couple more, visiting off and on with the bartender and playing songs on the jukebox. The place is comfortable, clean and worth a stop anytime you're in that area. We'll be back for sure!!

Drinks were HORRIBLE but the service was amazing. There's pool tables, couches. It was very cute place to relax.

Good drinks. Cool dive bar. No food so if you're hungry there are different spots around the corner. Lady at the bar is nice and chatty!

Chill. Comfy. Has a bar. I went on a Thursday night, so I'm not sure if weekends are slammed. But this is a great place to just sit back, have a drink and make a regular hangout spot.

Drinking Club Going to Bishop Arts, one of the complains is that it's fine for restaurants, but there are really no bars. OCSC is one of the exceptions, it's a full on bar and social hall. You can enjoy pool, darts, and/or the game on their big screen flat screens. The patrons I encountered were pretty friendly, each time I've been here on my own I have been able to strike up a conversation with no problem. The bartenders were super fun and chatty. No complaints, except the lack of food, but you can order in from next door. One of the things that I have been taken aback by, on some of the reviews, was that some referenced "thug" or "sketchy" crowds. I think this has a lot more to do with the fact that this isn't a super hipster place. Most people who come here actually live in the OC and don't come complete with fedora and over sized scarfs. People are people, come cheer on your team. You will probably find a new friend. Be Sociable
