The bar opens daily at 2pm, making it an early starting point for a night out. Regulars note that management changes have stirred controversy among longtime patrons, but the venue still draws a mixed LGBTQ+ crowd. Check your bank statements; some customers have reported tip discrepancies.

“Loved This Bar”
I used to live in the apartments right across the street.

“Another Caven Enterprises disaster”
Caven could mess up a two-car funeral. TMC used to be the best bar in town after Caven destroyed Village Station, which was the best bar and club Dallas ever had. But ruining the Village wasn't enough for Caven, since they're big corporate idiots. The Village crowd moved to TMC and made it the top place for fun in Dallas. Caven couldn't stand that it was fun, exciting, and a huge cash cow. Since Caven prides itself on making the dumbest mistakes, they swapped TMC and Sue Ellen's, killing both bars. Now they've ruined every gay bar they own. All were big successes, and now none are. They did it for no reason, true to Caven's style.

“Disappointed”
TMC removed my review, which is hilarious. Be careful paying with cards because bartenders are shady and might overcharge or fill in the tip themselves. I contacted someone named Chris but was dismissed, so I'm still working with my bank to resolve it. Check your bank statements and keep receipts. This is the second time it has happened to me. I will post reviews everywhere I can.

“Nice guys...”
In my opinion, this is the best spot on Cedar Springs, though I didn't visit every bar. Still, I think this one would be tough to beat. There were some really attractive dancers here and nice guys to chat with too. This place also has two outdoor areas that offer a quieter spot for conversation. Definitely check it out!
