Four Corners Brewing Co. has come a long way since the 5-gallon home brew system it started with an over a decade ago. Its large brewery in The Cedars neighborhood hosts their manufacturing facility and a well-adorned taproom (we love the upside-down lamp installation overhead). It offers one-of-a-kind beers brewed on a smaller experimental seven-beer […]
Naturally, when The Grapevine moved out of its beloved small pink adobe on Maple Avenue in 2023 there was skepticism about whether the charm could carry over. Great news: They double-bubble packed it. After about three decades, they reopened the bar in a spot a mile from the original, and kept most of the staff […]
The Grove at Harwood is an outdoor oasis in the district of HARWOOD manifested from Dallas’ love of sun, games and bevvies.

Mostly we lean toward off-the-beaten-path bars, speakeasies and low-key places with quirky personalities. Happiest Hour is none of those. This is that one friend who is always in your face, “You’re having a damn good time, like it or not.” It’s a great spot to pregame for anything at the American Airlines Center, which is […]
Gastropubs are plentiful across Dallas, but with its combination of a cozy and welcoming dining room and fare that warms both the body and soul, Harwood Arms does the best job of bringing English sensibility and an authentic pub experience close to home. To step inside Harwood Arms is to step into a Welsh country […]
The Henry is a beautiful space that is great to see and be seen at. The menu was “carefully curated to please the Texan palate with its Southern flavors and flair” but there are plenty of Asian flavors going on here, from Korean prime skirt steak with double-egg fried rice, bok choy, snow peas, pickled […]
La Grange is one of the newer places in Deep Ellum’s ever-growing bar scene. The relaxed vibe and the wooden interior make it a great place to grab drinks, catch up with friends, or watch one of Dallas’ up-and-coming bands. The place is new in town, but there are already regulars who are big fans […]

With its throwback wood-paneled walls and old-school neon beer signs, Lee Harvey’s is the pinnacle of dive-bar excellence. A Dallas institution, this ol’ watering hole is exactly where you’d want to go to knock down a few cold ones after a long week of work. Don’t have a hot date? No problem. Bring your pup […]
Liquid Zoo owner Nell Scarborough says her establishment is “kind of like Cheers.” On a recent visit to the East Dallas neighborhood bar, located in a strip center on the corner of Skillman Street and Abrams Road, everyone seemed to know everyone else’s name, and they all sang along to the Richard Marx-esque power ballads […]
Fried Chicken and Champagne… Why the Hell Not?!
In the late 1800s, Mayer’s Garden on Elm Street was a self-described “early pleasure resort of Dallas” that offered live animals, live music and beer that flowed seven days a week. We’re not sure about all that, but today, a new Mayer’s Garden lives on Henderson Avenue, and while it may not have live animals, […]
In 2023, Lower Greenville’s Belgian-influenced Meyboom Brasserie made its entry into our annual Best of Dallas list thanks to a stellar espresso martini that, quite frankly, blew us away. But Meyboom’s espresso martini is no outlier. The Meyboom team, guided by owners April Segovia and Jeff Karetnick, has set a high bar in all aspects […]

Although bathed in color-changing neon lights, Muddy Waters’ interior is still so dim you can hardly find your way to the pool tables. With a cross section of various ages and races, Muddy Waters caters to crowds of working-class people rushing to get in on the bar’s cheap weekly specials, including Monday’s dollar drafts and […]
If you’re in West Texas and you hear someone talking about a nodding donkey, it’s probably just an oil-worker talking about oil well pumpjacks. Around Dallas, however, if you overhear some talk of The Nodding Donkey, the folks mean a certain neighborhood saloon located in Uptown across Thomas Avenue from Londoner. Opened fall 2010, the […]
Old 75 Beer Garden is on the southbound side of Central Expressway and is 20,000 square feet of picnic tables, oak trees, as well as two separate bars if you’d prefer to do your drinking under a roof. There’s a stage for live music that will be on hand most nights of the week. And […]
On Premise delivers what can only be described as a unique dining experience to its Deep Ellum customers. Metal gears and the dim glow of antique light fixtures loosely evoke a set for a steampunk film, with high-back chairs and Victorian couches adding to the theme. This is the backdrop for cliché dance music, but […]
