The Best Bars in Dallas, Texas | Eater Dallas

"It doesn’t get much more beautiful than having cocktails in this converted historic house, which is a legendary space in Uptown. Sit inside with the marble-topped tables and bar, and when the weather is nice, grab a chair on the porch. The cocktail list changes frequently, but the names the staff choose are always hilarious. Recently, those include Bhakta the Future (based on Bhakta 1928 whiskey), Bananas Foster Home (a brandy drink), and Lady & the Tramp Stamp (rum and a whole lot of inexplicable stuff that is probably fabulous). Parking is a beast in this part of town, but more manageable if you come ahead of the dinner rush. Look for street spots and nearby lots." - Courtney E. Smith
