Despite its trendy Henderson locale, The Slip Inn feels every bit like an inner-city underground club, helped by the red neon lighting and black vinyl seating. The bar makes for an excellent hangout with a 3 to 8 p.m. nightly happy hour, booth seating in back and DJs spinning hip-hop every night of the week. […]
Owned by the gentlemen who brought you South Dallas’ swanky retro bar Cedars Social (a secret agent-themed upscale bar and restaurant), Smyth is a lush cocktail bar with a permeating ’70s vibe. Trained servers do not simply take your orders at Smyth – they seat you in one of the eight exclusive booths, which require […]
Since 1996, this bar and grill has been knocking out customers with its lauded chicken-fried steak, not to mention its burgers. Predictable, as is the classic and indie rock-heavy jukebox, we know, but the ravenous droves who populate the place speak for themselves. On the way home from a night of tossing ’em back, a […]
In this city, there are greasy burger joints and there are joints with good greasy burgers. Snuffer’s is one of the latter. The lower Greenville hot spot (other locations are scattered across the metroplex) offers the epitome of hangover relief in a hand-formed patty that is oh-so-guilt-inducing. Made to order, the devil burgers are not […]

The bars in Uptown have typically not been known for exemplary bar food, as most stay well within the confines of burgers and things topped with melted cheese. So&So bucks this trend with its new McKinney Avenue dining room. Sure, there’s a burger on the menu, and even pizza, but the majority of the dishes […]
Whether cool or hot, smooth or be-bop, this Addison club has the appropriate menu selection with which to pair its jazz. Executive Chef Chad Burnett’s dishes serve as a counterpoint to the casual atmosphere. South Carolina hare (confit with Vidalia onion hash, a Tuaca demi and tangerine glaze), big-eye tuna (sesame seared, with jasmine gnocchi, […]

This Irish pub owned by Dublin-native Feargal McKinney opened in 2021 but already has an old soul feel. Dark, heavy, wooden furniture and old-world accoutrements provide cozy niches for couples or small groups. The main seating area connects to a covered deck with picnic tables for an open-air, big-city energy. It serves classic bar food […]
This Deep Ellum landmark has held steady as the scene around it ebbs and flows for more than 20 years now. St. Pete’s straddles the line between a restaurant with a reliably high-caliber kitchen and a bar where anyone can grab a stool and a beer. At the end of the day, every neighborhood needs […]
