Lee Harvey's
1807 Gould St.
Dallas, TX 75149
(214) 428-1555
www.leeharveys.comLee Harvey's is located in the Cedars neighborhood of Dallas, just south of Downtown between Akard and Ervay Streets. Stepping into Lee Harvey's is like walking into a time capsule. Seth Smith took over the 60-year old bar 13 years ago. While Smith would like to have an old school jukebox that plays 45s in his establishment, the volume of music that the bar plays is not conducive for such a machine. Lee Harvey's boasts a 1200 song CD-based jukebox, which includes tunes by Billie Holliday, Hank Williams, the Sex Pistols, Isley Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Nancy Sinatra, the Commodores, Duran Duran and many more. This is a true dive bar with no beers on tap. All beers are either in bottles or cans and are packed on ice.
