Deep Ellum Art Co. - Dallas, Texas

Jon Gutheridge

The most lame venue I've ever had the displeasure of attending. If you are thinking about attending a show with any mind of Moshing or even active crowd refuse to come here. I have not had an experience as negative as this at a venue EVER. Shame on the owners for hosting punk shows and discouraging the attendees to stand still for 3 hours and not enjoy themselves.

I've seen a handful of shows here, and each time it's been great. The venue itself is a ways down, however the positive here is that you aren't in the middle of Deep Ellum, dealing with the parking scene.

The venue offers art from various local artists, as well as rotating exhibits. While standing at the bar, you may see something you like, at which point you can venmo the artist and retrieve your item.

Speaking of the bar, they have a selection of premixed draft cocktails. While I do enjoy them (and it tends to speed up the ordering process), my experience is that the drinks are not as stiff lately as they used to be last year.

There is also a huge outdoor area, large enough to host a second stage if they wanted.

The sound has been great at the shows I've seen here, which isn't something I can say for every venue in Deep Ellum. In some places, when folks in the system start to talk, it drowns out the music. 8
I've not had that issue here though.

I'll be looking forward to my next show here!

This was our first time being here, and we came out for a special night of Thursday Night Therapy that was taking place here. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the art, the massive back patio area with another stage, and the people in general. Everyone there seemed to be helpful and friendly, and even the boys was there helping out and working on things. Not sure what it's like on a regular day/ night, but I definitely recommend visiting this place. They've got some cool swag, too- pins; hats; shirts; etc.!

Screw the guy who’s salty about the “no moshing” rule. As long as your goal isn’t to show up and injure people, this is absolutely the best spot for live local music in Deep Ellum.

This is one of my favorite places to go see live music in Deep Elum. Wonderful concept offering a unique place to showcase local artwork for sale. The music sound system here is awesome. It shows that John LaRue (owner) cares about quality sound. The downside about the inside venue is limited seating. If you are handicapped or limited in your standing, you need to get there early before a show to claim your seat. However, Christan, at the bar, is always happy to get us older folks some fold out chairs. This venue has a wonder outside area with picnic tables, wicker seating area with loveseats, and chairs. Also, game areas with outdoor games. At times, they will have food vendors, but it is not very often. Just drinks for the most part and some bagged chips. Also available are water and merchandise. They have a unisex open restroom with a private heavy door stall and a sharing of sink. If you're not into that type of restroom, go outside the backdoor and to left are private women restrooms to right are private mens restrooms. Parking can be another obstacle due to ongoing construction on the streets. There is parking behind and also the street behind across that street in the Police or transit parking lot substation. We love going here, and the staff is awesome. We love going to see live music and support local musicians and art.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU BUY TICKETS TO THIS VENUE. They change 18+ to 21+ within an hour of opening, very pathetic I drove over 45 minutes to take my 19 year old sister. They didnt give a crap. Drinks are overpriced and weak, sneak in alcohol in a plastic flask if you are not a millionaire. Sound is ok but not the best. Only good thing is the outside area.

Really great venue in a perfect spot. Bar is always stocked with great drinks. Bartenders are really nice, attentive and quick. It's definitely a great place for artist to host events. Not to mention the dope space out back

Half art gallery half concert venue this place is amazing, plenty of space especially with the back patio area. The audio is great so are the sight lines to see the performing artists. Highly encouraged you to visit!
