Great Neighborhood Part Time Pub
Let's get this out of the way first, this is not a full time business (although it should be). The two owners make their living in other fields but their passion is in brewing great beers. You would think with a name like Four Bullets and being just down the street from the local police department, this has something to do with firearms and you would be wrong. Think cards - when playing cards, an ace is sometimes referred to as a "bullet". One of the best hands possible is four aces or "four bullets". They carry the card theme throughout the brewery. The drink tickets are cards and the different beers have card related names. The location is an industrial area of Richardson, basically, a garage they have converted into a brewery. It is usually open on Saturdays from noon until 6pm. The furnishings are very basic - tables can be old wooden cable spools but hey, you don't come here for the decor, you come here to drink good beer! They do have TVs carrying whatever you want to watch. The usual games are available. Food comes from one of the food trucks that stop by (and that is a plus because you never know what will show up but can be assured that it will be good). Opening up means rolling up the back garage door, arranging the tables outside and in, and turning on the sound system. Very simple. The staff is made up of the two owners, their wives and a bunch of volunteers who show up every Saturday to help out. The crowd is a mixture of people from all around the area. The dress is very casual. Friendly pets are permitted. Parking can be a challenge as there is limited parking on the street but there is plenty of parking around the back BUT getting to the back is a challenge - you must go to either end of the building, then drive over a very rough road. Take it slow and you will be fine. Just look for all the happy people. Generally, you pay $10 at the door and get 3 tickets (little playing cards) and a souvenir pint glass. You trade a tickets in for a pint of beer. So basically, it is a great deal. And now something about the beer. They have a rotating line of beers, my favorites being the Black Jack Brown Ale but the Royal Flush Red Ale is very tasty as well. Everything is brew right in the brewery and you can get a tour if you are nice to the owner. They do sell some of their beers to other local businesses in case you need a "Four Bullets fix" before Saturday rolls around. All in all, a great place to spend a Saturday afternoon.

This Microbrewery is really good
I got to microbreweries all over the place, and have drank a lot of okay beer, and once in a while great beer. This place is worth visiting. Everyone very friendly, prices reasonable, but the Red Ale and English Bitter Ale were exceptional. When i was there this weekend there was a food truck and a live band outdoors in the back. If I loves in Dallas, I would go back to this place a lot.
