Lounge Here's Marfa Vibes and Colorful Cocktails

The popular East Dallas cocktail den Lounge Here, a project from Polyphonic Spree member Julie Doyle and former Hagfish drummer Tony Barsotti, features a gorgeous, intimate space "inspired by the lounges that existed on airplanes back in the 1970s." Its Marfa vibes are reiterated by a large photo mural by Rainer Judd, daughter of artist Donald Judd, and the small cocktail list is complemented by a menu of bites and bar snacks.
