Hidden Door Inc

I was very disappointed with my experience here. The venue itself is run down and cheap, and the policies seem inconsistently enforced. Most concerning was the "bag policy". Women were denied entry for carrying small purses, while men with small crossbody or "man bags" were allowed in without issue. The inconsistency is unfair and discriminatory. The door staff was also rude and dismissive, which made the experience even worse. Many women carry small purses for essential personal items, and a reasonable, clearly enforced policy should apply equally to everyone. This venue is not comparable to large stadiums with strict, published security standards, yet it tries to enforce similar restrictions without professionalism or consistency. It’s giving sexist. Overall, I did not feel welcomed or respected, and I will not be returning. I’d suggest steering clear of this back street wood shed of a place.

Unfortunately my coworkers and I were harassed and violently yelled at and threatened to get beat by a racist white man who kept yelling to then go complain to his friend the manager for trying to figure out a parking situation to offer testing services for an event that was being held here. We did not receive an apology from the venue or the manager much less any action was taken to properly take into consideration the threat to Latino and Black bodies on their premises.

I don’t know how the food is could be good. Don’t know how the atmosphere is we didn’t make it past the car. The security is wild crazy and it seems very racist. We were not even parked on their property and a security guy ran to the car because he seen the trunk up. We were changing because we just performed trying to support a pageant and yes we took a sip of beer but it was not even on their property but why are you in our car. You are in my car not on your property what does it matter what I do in my car. We were told oh y’all didn’t do anything wrong but we will lose our liquor license if they find out yall drinking in the car and I already seen you. Sir we not on yall property. You bored and walking around. This was our first and last time going. What I do in my car is my business. On top of that there is a truck full of white folks parked right by the door turning up and no words was said. Yes we sat and watched. Summary what I do in my own property off your property has nothing to do with it. And if there is such a rule it should apply to everyone. Despite of color. Sorry won’t be back and will not recommend. Thanks but no thanks.

Google review : Came here last Sunday for some drinks with friends — big mistake. I stepped out through the patio for a minute because my friend couldn’t find parking, and when we came back, we went through the side door since it was wide open and literally right next to our group. Didn’t even notice any "Do Not Enter" sign because someone was standing there on their phone with the door open. Thirty seconds later, here comes this mini security guard with a superhero complex, charging at us like we were breaking into the Pentagon. His attitude? Straight-up rude and unnecessary. He actually said we were "sneaking around." Sneaking?? Into a bar?? Where no one’s even checking IDs or charging a cover? Please. Instead of just saying, "Hey ladies, next time use the front door," this guy chose to be rude and disrespectful. Maybe they train their security to act tough because they’re clearly not trained in basic manners. The whole thing screamed power trip — with a nice touch of racism on the side. So yeah, if you enjoy getting lectured by an angry hall monitor in a security shirt, this is your spot. Otherwise, there are way better places in Dallas where the staff actually knows how to treat paying customers with respect.

Everything about The Hidden Door is awesome except the non smiling RBF Moe. If he paid attention to his job instead of how other people interact with other staff he'd probably be a happier person. If he doesn't want to open a tab he runs your card every time and authorizes it for 50 every single time. No matter how friendly you greet him or whatever he is still the same stale stank attitude. I'd rather go when Brian is there during the week. At least he acknowledges a weekly customer!

Best Bar in Dallas. Great crowd, great drink prices and the best atmosphere of any gay bar in Dallas. The Hidden Door will be becoming my neighborhood bar when I get moved to Dallas.

Just tried to go with my husband and our niece. I’m in town for my father’s funeral, and we went out to have a little fun after a difficult day. The doorman refused entry to my niece claiming she was intoxicated. Clearly a pretext, and the treatment of my guest was mortifying. Never again would I go to this place.
