Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Customer Questions:
Where IS the Balcony Club, anyway?
The Balcony Club is a little jazzy lounge attached to the historic Lakewood Theater (now Bowlski's) in the Lakewood neighborhood of East Dallas. We're very close to the Lower Greenville entertainment district and about 2 miles from Deep Ellum. Address: 1825 Abrams Road, Suite B, Dallas TX 75214 (cross street is La Vista).
​
When are you open?
We are open 7 days a week with live music every night. Monday through Wednesday we are open from 7:00pm – 2:00am and Thursdays through Sundays from 5:00pm - 2:00am.
​
Is there a cover charge?
Sunday through Wednesday just walk in for free and order a nice cocktail. Starting at 5:30pm there is a $5 cover charge on Thursdays and a $10 cover charge Fridays and Saturdays which can be paid with cash, credit card, or Apple Pay at the door. Please note that the cover charge does not reserve seating at the club. All seating is first come, first seated. Check our calendar of events here.
​
Are minors allowed in the club?
Due to the complicated nature of hosting all ages events, and the liability to our liquor license, all shows are 21 and over unless otherwise noted. State issued ID is required of all guests, regardless of your age.
​
Do you serve food?
We do not have a kitchen but you're welcome to bring food into the club such as takeout or food delivery services. We only ask that you do not bring in drinks.
​
When is Happy Hour?
Happy Hour is every Sunday through Thursday from 5 - 7pm. We also have reverse happy hour Monday - Thursday 12am - 2am.
​
How's the parking?
There's a well lit parking lot in front of the club, behind BBVA Bank, in the Lakewood Shopping Center, directly behind Bowlski's and also street parking in Junius Heights, the neighborhood directly behind our building.
​
How's the handicap access?
While there are 2 handicap parking spots right in front of the club, we do not have an elevator, only a staircase to the front entrance. There is no back entrance. There are a few step ups within the club as well. We have many customers who take their time with the stairs so you will not be alone if you need extra time.
​
Can you smoke in the club?
We are a non-smoking facility, but customers have been known to smoke outside on the balcony.
