The Grapevine Bar

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 who have been with the bar for a decade. They offer up a lot of outdoor space and the same seriously powerful drinks and recently added a kitchen (get the boudin balls). This is Dallas' "everyone bar." There's a little bit of this (basketball) and a little bit of that (karaoke), but there's no doing coke in the bathroom (so says a sign, anyway).
