The Patio Grill Bar Opens
While most people enjoy the great outdoors all summer, we Dallasites bask indoors by the AC trying to avoid West Nile.
Fall is our time to party in the open air, and the new Patio Grill is the perfect place to do so.
The laid-back Uptown bar has a 1,200-square-foot piazza with ringside views of bustling McKinney Avenue. ’Twas owners Eric Roberts and Tharen Hathaway who hoisted the cedar beams, erected the black iron fence, and poured the stamped concrete floor to create the alfresco haven.
Inside is plain and simple (and, dare we say, slightly Irish pub-ish?) with a travertine bar, Internet jukebox, flat-screens, and ten beers on tap. For grub, its all about the wings, stuffed burgers (with yumminess like mushrooms and peppers), and mean cracker-crust pizzas.
Sounds like a breath of fresh air.

This is a new bar on Mckinney that is just right up the street from me (walking distance, Thank God!) that I love! For a smaller bar this is the best gay bar to hear music, watch videos, and kick back and watch the gay scene. Well, it's the ONLY gay bar I've ever been to, but still! It's awesome! If you like bears like I do you'll love this place. All the big biker guys in leather are so cute! I'm looking forward to seeing more of these guys! See ya there!

I have no idea what this Carl Sheets, also known as "zipperman" on other sites, is referring to in his review!! If you have ever been to The patio Grill then you clearly know it is not the type of place he his referring to. To each their own but The Patio Grill is a great new restaurant / bar in uptown. They have an awesome patio, outstanding food with a great crowd, trust me "zipperman" is way off base with his "labeling" on this one.
