The food is all over the map, but it’s good, leaning on Asian, Middle Eastern, Spanish and American flavors. Picture a hunk of celery […]
A staple of Victory Park, Victory Tavern is the moderate- to high-priced bar and grill that fills up on game and concert nights and empties out when the downtown entertainment district does. The bar, a huge rectangle in the middle of room, is covered in warm cherry wood, as is the ceiling and the walls. […]
This wine bar might come across as classy, but with 100 bottles at $25 or less, it’s an affordable and welcoming wine bar. Sure, there are selections well over the $25 mark on the Captain’s Wall, but the overall feel is one absent of pretense. That’s what co-owner Clint Brookshire and company have been going […]

Dallas event venue in the heart of the Warehouse District.
Located on the northern tip of South Fort Worth, Where House is the most well-disguised music venue and arts space in town. From the outside, it appears as a boxy, lifeless building, but one step inside and The Where House lives up to its name. This gigantic and literal warehouse is a labyrinth of indoor […]
This ever-changing concept bar has hole-in-the-wall bones with a pop-culture attitude. Every few months this spot closes down and reopens in a fully committed new theme. The Office, Breaking Bad, Family Guy, Harry Potter and The Simpsons have all been cast. This only works as well as the staff sells it, and though it’s not […]
These are the qualities Zane Williams sings about in his rootsy anthem “Texas Like That”–the title track of his 5th studio album–and so it comes as no surprise that these are also the qualities on which his rapidly-growing career is built. Respected by his fans (the Zaniacs) as a down-to-earth family man, Zane is a […]

The original […]

On approach, this spot has straight sports-bar vibes. TVs deck the walls, all tuned into a game; wings and Philly cheesesteaks are heavy hitters on the menu. However, you should start with a salad, which would be odd at a sports bar, right? That’s the first sign that something here is “different.” The bowl of […]
There’s a line in bartender Jason Kosmas’ book, Speakeasy, that talks about the benefit of hanging out in the old man’s bar. Wisdom is passed down, advice is doled out, strong drinks are poured. Windmill owner and barman Charlie Papaceno is certainly no old man, but his bar seems to be the go-to drinkery for […]
