With such a momentous food year in Dallas, some have failed to recognize the stellar bars that we’ve seen crop up across DFW. And there were quite a few. So, in no particular order, we’re ready to crown our own winners of Best New Bars of 2019.
Has holiday shopping got you tense? Well, we’re here to help. We’re here to soothe your frazzled mind. We’re here to kick that special, glittery-variety of anxiety you save for this time a year down a few notches. So, we asked a few tenders of drinks for two gift suggestions:…
The nip in the air and the incessant drone of Christmas music means it’s that time of year when we take Melissa’s mom to tea. High tea in the American interpretation almost universally means standard black teas served in the lobby of a reasonably nice hotel to guests ensconced in…
To warm us up now that it’s finally chilly (again), for the first time they’re offering five of “Mama’s Hot Mixes”.
Monday afternoon, as gray clouds rolled in and chill winds slashed their way through Dallas-Fort Worth, a crowd was huddled in the warm environs of a brewery aside the Trinity River. Not our (Dallas’) Trinity River. The occasion was to imbibe simultaneously in two of Fort Worth’s finest darlings: Martin…
Having a gay ol’ time in Dallas doesn’t need to cost you an arm and a leg. While all of the bars in Oak Lawn and on the Cedar Springs Strip have deals and specials of their own, there is a lesser-known secret shared by all of the Caven-owned bars…
Oh, Adolphus, you can’t let the holidays slip by without decorating your historic hotel to the max and hosting something called a “bubble lounge,” can you?

Trick Pony’s From Dusk ’til Dawn is a spicy cocktail featuring our new addiction, a ghost pepper tequila.
Dallas bartenders are getting together next Monday, and not to share a toast with each other. But guests can do that as they try whatever the professionals create for a cause. This event, called Spirits to Lift Spirits, is bringing together eight bartenders in Dallas to compete in a “winner-give-all”…
Just about this time 86 years ago, people had a lot to celebrate: the end of Prohibition. And 86 years later, Dallas bars aren’t stopping. Just imagine if we couldn’t drink alcohol today. No, thanks. From Wednesday to Friday, we’ve found some spots offering fun ways to celebrate, and era-appropriate…
This boozy caffeinated cocktail is a marriage of a carajillo and an espresso martini.
Truluck’s is giving us a great reason to ditch our family next week with their fall cocktail offerings. And happy hour.
Fine China will relaunch the brand with new cocktails and food, including its Bamboo Forest cocktail.
Well, we’re here again. Pumpkin spice and Han Solo Season jokes are getting old, we’re deep in football season, and hey, the weather has even been fall-ish for once. Everyone’s real favorite autumn holiday is already behind us. So, we turn our attention toward the most mixed-feeling-inducing mini-vacation of the…
Before Brutal Beerworks in North Richland Hills held its grand opening in June, co-owner Eric Johnson was direct and plainspoken when it came to how his operation would find its own niche in the Mid-Cities. “I think we’ll stand out because we have no need, nor want, to grow beyond…
Let’s get a couple of things out of the way: 1. I paid $45 to attend a cocktail class that turned out to be a marketing presentation for a single brand of whiskey, and 2. I don’t care. Commercialization is annoying and we all have too many ads shoved down…
The Henry’s Classic Old Fashioned features a whiskey they created in partnership with Savage & Cooke Distillery.
Seek out these cool weather cocktails to enjoy this autumn throughout DFW.
Many of the stories behind folks opening North Texas’ newest craft breweries and brewpubs have a few common strains. It’s not uncommon to see a brewery owner with a kegerator full of medals from homebrewing competitions, for example. There’s usually some sort of business or executive professional background, of course,…
