About Us

The Nodding Donkey remains the Best Sports Bar in Dallas located in Uptown, but we've made it even better. The Nodding Donkey, State & Allen and Savory Catering have always been particular about using only the freshest local ingredients, and yet The Nodding Donkey's signature favorites remain such as our smoked wings, brisket tacos, and the best patio in Dallas.
