"The intimate, cozy, yet no-frills Alexandre’s offers craft cocktails of its own design, such as the Clover Club (a gin, raspberry, and egg white concoction), plus classic drinks like Vespers and Pisco Sours. Consider the food menu elevated bar fare, with fun features like the Chick-full-gAy chicken sandwich — a menu staple that started off as a Sunday special poking fun at fast food chain Chick-fil-A. Owner Lee Daugherty encourages his guests to support important causes and opens the bar’s stage to local singers and musicians to showcase their talents. Bargoers can attend events almost any night of the week, including open mics for comedians, karaoke and sing-alongs, cabaret acts, and more." - Alex Gonzalez
"It’s been Pride Month for about 19 years at Alexandre’s in Cedar Springs but for those who haven’t stopped in yet, it’s a great place for a cocktail, brunch, a sammie, and to see live music." - Courtney E. Smith
"A central figure in Dallas’ LGBTQ community, this intimate Oak Lawn bar and music venue pours classic cocktails, spotlights local singers, and hosts Sunday Cher-e-oke (Cher-themed karaoke)." - Courtney E. Smith, Kevin Gray
"I was also moved by the collective of restaurants that raised money for the Ukraine in April and I keep noticing the different ways the team at Alexandre’s uses its menu to make political statements that need to be made about the LGBT+ community and equality." - Courtney E. Smith
"The Chick-full-gay, Alexandre’s in Oak Lawn’s tongue-in-cheek homage to the sandwiches at a certain fast-food chain, debuted just in time for Pride in Dallas, in conjunction with the main party on September 18. The new fried chicken sandwich, with two pickles and a smear of mayo on both buns, is the brainchild of Alexandre’s chef Sharina Hassell. Now it’s set to become a regular special on the menu." - Courtney E. Smith
