Utterly unremarkable and unpretentious, The Old Crow is the perfect spot on Lower Greenville if you just want to have a few cheap beers, watch a game and maybe shoot a round of stick or throw some darts. From the plywood floor to the Pabst Blue Ribbon and Busch Light to the random assortment of yard-sale decorations, this dive is perfectly un-Dallas.

When a pint o' stout and a bit of Celtic charm are called for, few places hold a candle to this pub, whose founders (and sometimes barkeeps) are true Dubliners. While the kitchen serves a terrifically tasty lineup of sandwiches, the place really hits its mark with libations, thanks to a selection of draft beers, single-malt scotches, and Irish whiskeys.
