"Right next door to Palma in Deep Ellum, and from the same hospitality group, is a new mezcal and tequila bar. It offers curated flights and a long menu of mezcals and tequilas — and the words “Casa Migos” are nowhere to be found, so we don’t hate it. There are also creative cocktails, like the Pistelero (Espolòn blanco tequila, ancho reyes verde, roasted poblano, and pineapple sherbet) and the Highland Picnic (Koch elemental mezcal, terralta reposado tequila, yuzu, agave, and egg white). The menu rounds out with zero-proof options and frozen cocktails, along with a short list of bar bites that includes chips and salsa, tacos, and quesadillas. Happy hour looks extremely limited, and you won’t be able to try any of those cool-sounding cocktails during it, but it runs Monday to Sunday (check the website for more specific hours). Don’t do a double-take when you enter — yes, that is a life-sized stuffed donkey." - Courtney E. Smith
