Hugo's Seafood Bar

These two Hugos in the Bishop Arts are a problem. The cocktail program is as equally impressive as the plates steaming out of the kitchen. Saying it's a bar with great food, or a restaurant with great drinks, is a disservice to both. We prefer to linger at the bar over several drinks and small plates of oysters, which is what most do: linger. Bartender Hugo Osorio works absolute magic. Chic and refined, but casual enough not to want to leave (ever), this shoebox of a spot along Davis Avenue in Oak Cliff is crafting cocktails with love. Take the Ron Kon Cafe with Licor 43 and rum with a housemade Mr. Black and Guinness reduction and a housemade salted plantain puree. Who is pureeing salted plantains around here, you ask? These two Hugos. (The chef is also Hugo.) That's how important your drinks are to them. There are a dozen house cocktails and each is fussed over with equal commitment. Go see for yourself.
