The Free Man Cajun Cafe Lounge - Dallas

It's laid back. Live bands. Not as ghetto as the rest of deep ellum. I'll visit again.

I was part of the sound crew for the 2024 New Years Show. I ordered some wings and fries after the setup. Not bad.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. The drinks were decently strong. The place was so homey. I loved our waitress and the food was beyond me. They killed it with the cornbread!

The most recent night I attended was on Thursday and it's a little bit slow. Of course there's a much larger crowd on the weekend. There's a $10 entry fee with two sides to the location, having live bands playing a different genre on each side. You may move about between both sides but have to go outside to enter the other side. I typically order the cajun wings and sweet potato fries and amalwsys pleased. There's a bar with a small TV and an outside patio. People are very sociable in the summertime. I've talked to a lot of interesting people there. Great vibe. Nice place to go for daily live music throughout the day. There's parking on the street and a lot directly in front and another about a 1000 ft away. I believe self parking is around $15 to $20

The food was okay. Do not order the gumbo if you want something out of New Orleans. The 1/2 lb. burger was the safest option, and it was good. The drinks were decent. However, the band was terrific. It was the highlight of the evening. If you are ever in town or have a free night on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday, Lighthouse_DTX performs, and they will blow your mind!!! This place was a total vibe last night. I highly recommend it.
