"Across Dallas, all kinds of folks have all kinds of preferences in bars. There’s the dive crowd, the scene crowd, and the serious drinkers searching for exclusive bottles and brews. Bar Eden is a place for those who enjoy drinking somewhere cozy but not entirely casual. This Bishop Arts bar, which was conceived as a holding area for diners waiting to be seated at nearby Paradiso, far exceeds that use. Sitting in its lush greenery and gilded touches, in a high-backed booth for two, is delightfully intimate, as is the limited cocktail menu. It does the work of evoking a garden of paradise and then some." - Courtney E. Smith
