Regal Beagle

I just bought a Living Social discount to eat at the Regal Beagle. I went to Google Maps and it said «Permanently Closed». I called a neighboring restaurant, after getting a blank signal when I called the restaurant’s number, and they said the Beagle had been closed for a couple of weeks. He said he thought they might be moving to a different location. I googled everything I could think of, and found no mention of this restaurant moving or closing. Why are they allowing people to spend money on dining coupons when they are closed? I want to keep it, hoping that they are reopening nearby, but I guess I must cancel. Very bad business, making people go through this.

Why won’t this place just die already? It is the single worst bar in the city. Bad drinks, terrible service and No one but skanks, thugs, and jerks spoiling for fights. Lots of drugs and shady characters. I swear to god this place is Ruffie central and an incubator for STD’s. Like obi-​wan once said, «you’ll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy»

Went to Regal Beagle tonight. Horrible experience!!!
I frequent this place a lot. Tonight I get asked my ID at the bar when I order a drink. First time ever this has happened the guy next to me ordered the same exact thing 5 minutes prior to me ordering but I get carded and he doesn’t. Then the bartender begins to cuss at me for no reason. Luckily my friend recorded everything will post the video shortly. Bottom line be weary of this place!!! Will be filing a complaint shortly.

Another college type bar smacked down in the middle of Greenville. There isn’t anything that stood out for me here. We had beers and that’s about it.

This place is just average. Kind of a hole in the wall strip mall bar with nothing to offer that you can’t get anywhere else. However, everyone is pretty friendly and you can come here in cutoffs and flips and you won’t be judged so that’s the up side

I will admit that this is where I go to unwind. I know the staff and owner very well. This isn’t the prettiest or most up to date bar you will find in Dallas, but to me, bars are about people. You will be hard pressed to find a better group of people. From the owner, to the staff, and then the regulars, you won’t find a less judging, more fun place to be. Give it a try, talk to people while your there… you might just become a regular yourself.

An easy soundtrack of mostly predictable top 40 hip hop happily clogged the uptown douchebag artery of the crowd and vibe I was expecting on upper Greenville.
The place seems smoky (even though you can’t smoke.) and run down with the walls
«mask attempt» painted in black.
A woman had a eye catching unnatural large balloon shape with dramatic curves that amazingly filled the rear of her Lycra black pants without busting.
«That’s why I don’t date black women.» my black friend said smiling.
«She’s not wearing underwear.» someone noticed.
«Well at least she’s wearing a bra.»
was about as offensive and entertaining
as it got in this perhaps overly lit, mellow little diverse club that being a little dumpy, is happily nothing like uptown.
The limited lawn chair and barstool seating and dirty feel of the place wasn’t comfortable but i bumped into a few interesting sexy cats. The drinks were around $ 7 and medium strength. Bartenders were pretty skinny white girls that seemed preoccupied and mostly happy. About 6 pool tables focus the room and provide a vehicle for interaction and conversation.
Points for being in central Dallas with a predominantly black clientele on my Friday night visit.
Conclusion
It’s basically a dive bar that’s nothing like 1970’s Santa Barbara that I may revisit,
but won’t place on heavy rotation.

My sister and I were in town recently, looking for a divey type bar where we could chat and drink a couple of beers. This was near her hotel and fit the bill.
First impression: it’s a bit dark and spartan in here. Lots of pool tables, a few TVs, your basic bar area.
Second impression: No beers on tap. Okay, I’ll take your Blue Moon in a bottle.
Third impression: The jukebox is playing 75% great music and 25% awful country music. I can take that split.
Fourth impression: The music is not too loud to have a conversation. Good.
Overall impression: This bar appropriately served its purpose for the evening. I will likely return again.

Everyday, I’m more and more amazed that the Beagle still exists.
I don’t really know anyone that still goes to the Beagle. It’s nothing really special. Just a place to get domestic beer, below a tattoo parlor and in a mini strip mall off of Upper Greenville. Yet, somehow, it’s still there with a packed parking lot on Fridays and Saturdays. I don’t know anyone who’s been there within the last 5 years, but it’s still there.
That being said, the last time I was there, it was nothing really to write home about. We hung out for a while and killed a couple bottles of terrible, domestic beer. end of story. Nothing out of the ordinary.
This is also one of the places on Unilocal where the pictures are the most accurate depiction of the crowd that I’ve seen. Take some time to scroll through them before you make a trip to the Beagle.

Regal Beagle isn’t the prettiest place but I give it five stars for everything positive I see in it.
Regal Beagle is NOT:
1. Pretentious
2. Judging
3. Classy
4. Expensive
5. Trying to be anything except a bar.
You get drinks, you can play pool or dart or photo hunt… no food so you can order from next door and bring it in. The crowd is eclectic. you’ll fit in wearing heels, flip flops, or tennis shoes. I think it’s a great place to go when you just don’t want to worry about impressing anyone.
Parking is free in their own lot.

Crossed all the good bar food off the menu, what’s left is disgusting. And I got food poisoning last month from the nachos.
The girl bartenders are nice but the male, douche bag tool of bartender is a fucking asshole. Rude to customers, treats everyone like shit and can’t mix a drink to save his life.
Used to be a cool neighborhood bar. I would still go and drink despite the food if not for that scum bag.
DO NOT RECOMMEND. AVOID.

Cheap strong drinks! and no judgment! ! big fan! The staff is awesome, want to thank them for our pre game drinking regiments and delicious tacos to help with the prolonged drinking at their dallas club recommendations! Mad props regal! Keep it up! :)

I enjoy coming to this bar because of great drink specials, great pool tables, great bartenders! Good location which is good because I dont have to drive far! They added a new menu which is always good, food is good to have after a good night of drinking!!! I always enjoy myself at The Reagle Beagle!!!

Discourteous bartenders, poor service, seamy people, and so shamefully smelly and unkempt, it’s not even funny… I get the whole «dive bar» thing, but this is just pathetic. Sorry… Never again.
Note: To any person unfortunate enough to get stuck here, look out for this little creepy, weasel-​like loser who’ll talk your ears off non-​stop for like… an hour, and try to steal a few sips of your beverage while you’re not around (I caught him doing this while coming out of the restroom). Just an FYI.

Unilocal has really been on me about reviewing this place and I’ve been avoiding like the plague because I can’t quite figure out what to say about it. Divey, yes. Dirty, yes. Dingy, yes. Perhaps it was my previous stop at the ever so dive-​a-​licious Dyer Street Bar that made me so jaded to this little hole in the wall. Regardless, I couldn’t get over the rude bartenders, weird crowd, and… eclectic (?) décor.
As most Unilocalers have said, this place was probably super cool in the 90’s. Perhaps even the late 80’s. But the Regal Beagle has seen better days and probably should be put down.

I agree with Dan, another reviewer. I bet this place was the shizznat back in the day-​but not quite anymore.
Walked in last night after watching a comedian at UTA, craved a quick drink or 2 before retiring. I gotta admit that the bartender was very cool, and helpful to my friend who was deciding on which type of cider to get. A rarity nowadays seeing that type of assistance in an old bar. The pleasantness ended shortly thereafter.
We sat down across the place while 5 bar patrons were cussing and playing godawful rap music… like super GHETTO rap, while auspiciously marking their territory with the expected grunts and obnoxious yells which usually accompanies losers in their twenties.
Might try it again someday and hope those tools wont be there, but then again, where else would they go?

This places well… it frankly isn’t all that or a bag of chips. First off, I love dive bars! I live for dive bars! This place is not one! It left me with one of those feelings where you don’t want to touch or sit on anything. Also, the DJs were not DJs, rather kids that played their CDs and iPods. The beers were not very cold and the cocktails were the typical «jollyrancher» style shot. The touch of a fake marijuana tree was also tacky. To say this least, I am pretty disappointed and will not be returning.

We’ve all had that favorite shirt that has seen its day. We loved it from the moment we saw it. We wore it ALL the time. And over the years its started fraying and fading. Until finally, the only time it saw the light of day was when you were mowing the lawn. Regal Beagle is a lot like that shirt. Frayed at the edges, its better days gone, but still apparently loved by the few who still venture there.
I was driving down Greenville on the way to The Single Wide when I spotted this place and decided to give it a try. It was ²⁄₃ empty, and the hushed conversations echoed in the high-​ceilinged space in the gaps between songs. The place was not so much a dive as just run-​down. Even the video games were dated (video lawn darts??? REALLY?!?). But the few patrons seemed both happy and comfortable there. My friend and I, however, found ourselves downing our drinks in short order, and hastily beating a retreat. In the end, what this place lacks is energy. What it lacks is LIFE.

Excellent dive, reminds me of some of the places I used to frequent in Waco when I was going to school down there. Good prices, strong drinks, and a crowd that just doesn’t seem concerned with the pretentiousness of Dallas.
Even better is that it’s stumbling home distance for me. I’ll be returning to the Beagle on the regular.

There are pros and cons to the Beagle.
Pros
Since the Point closed it’s the next closest bar in that area.
The ring game is fun if you play a dollar a hook.
Games include Buck hunter, bowling, pool, shuffleboard & punching bag.
You can bring Piggie Pies over from next door.
Reasonably priced drinks.
Cons
Not well maintained. If you’re looking for pretty, this ain’t it.
Service is indeed iffy, as Trent noted.
Kinda loud and the juke box has a skip button that some chick kept hitting while our songs were playing.
If it weren’t for the Piggie Pies and the closeness, I don’t know that I’d go. I have friends who are semi-​regulars and occasionally I tag along. Lower Greenville has way better options. But I’m not a bar person per se.
