So I went in to this bar as I was meeting a few people at this place. Time was around 10:13pm. I got in here and the bartender asked me what can I get you?. I said I have to decide. He replied that they need to verify my id first. So I got my ID scanned at the entrance. While I was trying to look at the menu, this big guy stopped me with his hand and asked me "you here to drink?". He asked me that moronic question as if bullying me. I mean never at any business someone asked me question like that. Its common sense. I wanted to stand up to this bully. So I asked "do I have to answer you?". Him: Yes. Me: no I dont want to reply. So he started shoving me out. I was shocked. So this is what happens when someone doesnt want to reply a simpleton security guy at this bar. After he man handled me out. He started explaining to other employees that he asked me a simple question. However, why would be explain that that simple question was asked with an intention to bully. Even the cop, who was outside, asked me to leave as if it was my fault. It seems to be the case that all people outside looked at me through an assumption: trouble making guy at the bar. Assumptions and lies are favored rather than facts. Because assumptions are familiar. ps: my wrist is hurting from the rigorous and forced manhandling last night.

I go there a lot and I have a lot of fun there. All these reviews are very old. The 2010 Green Elephant has an ATM inside (they still do not take credit at the door) which has a small fee. Then I used my remaining cash for drinks and still had money left over. this was a friday night too. when drinks are usually pricy. Great people. My drinks were made pronto and by a very casual friendly staff. The back patio is the selling point for me. its basically a backyard. Its so great. Oh and there are couches and I took the time to sniff them and they are clean. Trust me. My ipod fell out of my purse and the staff picked it up and gave it back to me. I guess bad reviews came from bad random nights but in my 4 years frequenting the green elephant i have never had a bad night. Just bad people to go there with :P

I just returned from an evening of delight! I am not sure if it was from the hoola hoops that were dispensable, the cheap drinks, the drum and bass from the bongos that were taken down by many talented artists. I purchased a beautiful hand made purple bonsai tree made of copper twisted rots and purple stones that showed itself as cherry blossoms wrapped tightly around a gently chosen stone to mount its foundation. I was educated on a pair of num chunks that were lit with the mexican flag colors.BEing able to twist and learn a routine after the beautiful and exciting evening that will be forever in bedded in memory???!!!! yep I give my love to this spot! Green Elephant you rock!!!Thank you Brad!!

A staple of Dallas Night Life. Personally been attending for 10+ years. As a patron and DJ. Wide variety of music genres. DJs, bands, etc. from local and headlining artists. Inside room with great sound and excellent staff (2 bars). LARGE out back and open area with an additional stage (where smoking is allowed). Decent drink prices. Great stop in Dallas, not too far in downtown. Highly suggest for those locally who throw shows/events as they are very open to all acts. With good parking and food vendors hanging out outside, I can safely give this a 10/10

Love this little spot. The outdoor space to relax, dance and be free is just what is needed sometimes. To get the full experience, must visit DJam Drum Wednesdays! The smell of young energy, the dankest of the dank, hippie sweat and dreadlocks wax commonly fills the air. Nothing but good feelings, positive vibes and drumming you can feel in your soul. Try it. Maybe Ill see you there!

Usually I love coming here. Wednesdays are what I look forward to! But recently the staff has become more aggressive and rude. I understand dealing with a bunch of drunks youre going to get agitated. But as soon as me and friends walk through the door we get treated like garbage, and were not a rowdy group of people. Its starting to ruin my experience.

Soulful, wholesome, social variety, and good service! The bartender is a really cool dude, I wish I could know the story behind his eye. The door guy is super friendly, and the older white-haired drum-leading gentleman is one of the people I look up to when I think about event planning. Go here for rhythm, hippies, and an experience to think about.

This offbeat EDM dive is spacious with indoor and outdoor areas, a good sound system and an eclectic mix of events every day of the week. This spot isnt for everyone, think gabber and psy trance, not insipid house or top 40 dance tunes.

The Green Elephant has definitely cleaned up since the last time I was there! With a little more work, it could be really awesome place, but its still just a grungy neighborhood dive bar.

When you have a down to earth owner like Shannon, coupled with an open floor warehouse layout and an awesome music system...the recipe is dance dance. Thursday nights were PACKED!
