Sue Ellen's

Paid $20 to get into Sue Ellen’s on New Year’s, and the experience was honestly really disappointing. The restroom was absolutely filthy — overflowing toilet, trash and paper all over the floor and seat, splatter on the walls, and no sign that staff were checking or maintaining it. For a busy holiday night with a cover charge that high, this is unacceptable and unsanitary. When I asked why the cover was $20, the staff were rude and dismissive and simply said, “That’s the price,” with no explanation and no courtesy. The attitude made it clear they didn’t care about the guest experience at all. Between the lack of cleanliness, poor management of a holiday crowd, and unprofessional customer service, this did not feel worth the money. I expected a much higher standard from a long-standing Dallas venue, especially on New Year’s.

Joy (I think!) the bartender was absolutely lovely - the best server! All the way from London and I love it! Exceptional service.

Before and shortly after Covid, this was a lit spot. DJs fired and everything went down hill. Drinks are mid and not as pricey as some spots on the strip but this is one of the few you have to pay after a certain time. 99% it’s not worth it at all. Music sucks. They even had an event that was packed out and guess what?! They didn’t even play the music advertised! People still go out and have fun but so many clubs on the strip seemed to have the life sucked out of them! Check TikTok on places to go (or not to go).

I’m really questioning all of these 4 starts and up reviews. Why are yall the only establishment on the strip with a cover charge? Furthermore, the music is boring to put it nicely. Definitely time to have some dj tryouts and the decision maker should have great music taste or diversity. That is one of the issues.. the music has no diversity. Rumor is a previous dj was fired due to encouraging fight music, understandable. However, I have faith that you all can find a better dj. The current trend is true club culture, the 2005-2012 clubbing era .. the music, the look…come on sue’s get with the times! I swear people will be waiting in the rain to get in if you’re playing the right music! Life sucks enough right now people want to go out and dance!! Honorable mention: the bartenders ALWAYS hold it down s/o to the one who helped me find a truly 0% alc beer for my recovering friend !!

I love the energy of Sue Ellen’s and the gayborhood in general. I always feel safer and freer there. The Mustache Envy shows are always so much fun, and so is staying to dance afterwards. But I wish there were more non-alcoholic options and I’d love to see cleaner bathrooms. Overall, it’s a place I’ll continue visiting because of the community.
