"After closing its Deep Ellum original in 2020, Black Swan reemerged in East Dallas last year like a phoenix from the ashes. Or like whatever resurrected swans do. It looks impressively similar to before and features the same velvet Clint Eastwood portrait that anchored the bar for years. But the drinks have been updated, with new recipes like a freezer martini pumped full of umami thanks to koji tincture, or the thirst-quenching Duke of Slowjamistan, which pairs gin with celery soda—and is a strong contender for drink name of the year." - Kevin Gray
