Our Popular Back Room Bar . . . where the regulars dine and drink!
When Dunston's was four years old in 1973, we decided to expand by adding a new bar area at the back of the restaurant. It started out just to be a bar with seating at the bar, itself, and with small tables like you would find in most restaurant bars. We had no idea it would become what it has become today!

It wasn't long before some of our regular customers asked if they could order dinner and eat in the bar. Of course, we accommodated them. Soon, they asked for larger tables so, once again, we said sure. Before you knew it, we had replaced all of the small cocktail tables with regular sized dining tables and the back room bar tables became those that were most often requested. Now it is the favorite eating spot for many Dallas and Park Cities regulars. Once you've been there a few times you'll find the rear entrance, a favorite of those "in the know", and will quickly become one of the regulars, too!

Courtesy of our many regular customers, our back room bar is also known by other names. Often called "The Cheers Room", "Brook Hollow East", "Maxim's East", and "The Country Club", the bar is unbelievably popular and friendly, as the nickname "The Cheers Room" would suggest. And while regulars always use "their own entrance" and request tables by number, there's always room for new patrons. Occasionally, you'll even find a few games of gin rummy or dominoes in the early afternoon.



We have happy hour Monday through Friday and provide an excellent selection of hors d' ouvres. In addition, we pride ourselves on our generous 3 ounce pour, a rarity in most bars today. And you'll enjoy the same cozy, warm and inviting atmosphere that Dunston's is famous for. Casual, comfortable and filled with the memorabilia from over 34 years in business, we invite you to request seating in our popular bar room anytime you come to Dunston's.


Our back entrance is easily accessed from the ample parking available behind the restaurant. You can reach the parking lot from either Inwood Road or Preston Park, which intersects Lovers Lane just east of the restaurant.

One of our favorite customers made this plaque for us and gave us yet another nickname, the Horseshoe Bar & Grill . . . "home of the "honest" drink & steak". You'll find it mounted on the wall when you come in our back entrance. And it's absolutely true. At Dunston's we pride ourselves on pouring an "honest" drink and serving a top notch steak at a price that "won't put a hole in your pocket"!
