It’s hard not to cheer for this bar. Even though I’m not a Cowboys fan, this place was happening. Michael Irvin himself was there and was oh so nice. He even allowed me to park our cowboys themed challenger car by his Bentley and took pictures with the car and myself. As for the rest of the evening while enjoying the home run derby the bar staff was very attentive to us and everyone else. The food was delicious and was very generous on their portions. We’ll definitely return and will bring our entire car group DFW Mopar Misfits & Mopar Royalty. We’ll all show up and show out for Playmakers 88

My fiancé and I really enjoy coming here. We’ve been twice now and both times were great. We especially loved the fish and shrimp basket; the fries are delicious, and the fish and shrimp pasta is also a favorite. The drinks are well-made, and the music adds a fun, upbeat vibe to the atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back again!

This place was amazing. Awesome sports bar the food was I had the fish and shrimp over dirty rice. I highly recommend. Great blend of seasoning and a lil slice is always nice. Also Playmaker was there and was a pleasure to meet. He was nice and went out and met everyone inside and took some pics. I will definitely go back whenever I'm in the DFW
