Just south of downtown Dallas, Absinthe Lounge is one of several watering hole options. But there’s something delightfully sinister about Absinthe. For one, the drink of the same name only recently became legal in the United States, and Absinthe Lounge takes great pride in the way it serves it. There’s a whole ritual involved: the […]

Ayahuasca is possibly the most difficult-to-find restaurant and bar in Dallas. To get to the Oak Cliff hideaway, enter at Xaman Cafe, then head down a back hallway to a wooden door.
