Atlas Bishop Arts

Before ending up at another spot, we stopped in here just to see what the vibes were. The bar was already pretty packed with no place to sit. They did not have any prosecco and the music they were playing was not really our vibe so we ended up leaving. Other than tha, the 10min that we were there, I loved their decor and ambiance. Very dark, chic and they did have a little dance floor in case you wanted to dance. I'm not from the area so I'm not sure if they have different music on certain nights, but we came on a Saturday and they were playing like alternative, pop and some R&B from what I remember.

Hung out with a few friends and my girl (1st time here for us) on Saturday night and it was a nice little spot. No cover fee. The DJ played pretty good music (rap/dance/techno/etc). The vibe is chill with low light/dark atmosphere. Has tables, chairs, and some cushioned benches for seating. There's an additional bar in the back with limited seating. Drink prices range. My pint beer was around $4 and my Whiskey w/Coke was around $13. The negatives: like any good club is that we had to wait in line for a while for entry and the place does get crowded. Auto gratuity on drinks. Limited restrooms as well. But we had lots of fun here. We would definitely come back. I recommend checking this place out.

Dark bar with creative cocktails. There is a row of bar seating, several booths, and a few large chairs. At the back is a bookcase leaning to another bar that is only open in the evening. It's located in the bishop arts district, a long street of diverse shops, restaurants, and bars. There is free street parking through the neighborhood.

This place literally had several people standing out in the cold. Literally 30-40 degree weather due to “maintaining fire code” but we could see there being enough space inside the bar when we were at the front of the line. Security at the front said it was 120 people inside, literally was not. Do not waste your time at this establishment. The security guy at the front told us to “go somewhere else” because we were commenting on the long wait time to enter inside; MIND YOU ITS FREEZING. Me and my friend were there over 30 minutes outside and didn’t even get the chance to go inside due to the lack of quality customer service and poor communication. Do not waste your time at Atlas. TikTok recommended this place. I highly do not recommend.

Marcus absolutely crushed it behind the bar. Great energy, great drinks, and somehow always knew exactly what we wanted next. Fast, friendly, and made the whole night way more fun. 10/10 bartender—would happily sit at his bar again.

As a Dallas native this has always been a staple to me and I’ve had so many great memories here to the point that my now fiancé asked me to be his girlfriend here. Recently though a bouncer put his hands on my friend and I can’t disregard that. We were there all day on the patio going in and out ordering drinks and having a great time. In the evening a line started to form and my friend went in to use the restroom and the heavy over 6 feet bouncer grabbed my 5 foot friend and dragged her out. She tried to reason with him and he eventually let her back in but I do not ever condone a man putting his hands on a woman. I refuse to come back here if there is a man that thinks it’s okay to handle ANYONE like that.

We’ve been to this place several times when we come in from NY and we want to bring something important to the owners attention. There seems to be improper behavior between the manager, Antonino, and one of the bartenders, Kayli, which creates noticeable tension behind the bar and affects the overall guest experience. My friends and I all noticed this dynamic, and it’s uncomfortable to witness while trying to enjoy a cocktail. It reflects poorly on management, and I hope the owners address this to maintain a professional and respectful environment for guests and staff. We hope to be back to a better Atlas when we visit Dallas again for the holidays.

Me and my friend found this location on social media and thought we would stop by after dinner. We got there and stood in line for over an hour and when we made it to the front (the 2 of us) we still had to wait and complain because of the 30 below weather. We tried to speak to the obvious manager at the door and state our complaints but he acted like he couldn't hear. The bouncer stated " you know you could just go somewhere else?" I thought that was rude to say to customers obviously trying to get into an establishment and spend my money there. So we left and don't plan on returning. Very horrible experience to never make it inside. 10/10 would not recommend.

I visited this spot on a Friday night where it was pretty busy, but still managed to snag a table as a group was headed out. I anticipated the DJ's arrival.. As we waited, the server assisted us and made some nice recommendations. One thing to note, they sell tapas only. We got the Italian meatballs and Charcuterie. For drinks, I started with the sidecar (France) and switched over to the Zombie (Hollywood) later in the evening. The small bites were quite savory and the drinks were to our liking. When the dj arrived, he began his set of traditional house music which matched the ambiance. It was a nice Friday vibe. I believe he is there each and every Friday, but you may want to double check with the establishment. All in all, I like this place and I believe you will too! Check them out.

They will kick you out for not having ID I drive an hour to enjoy my birthday in the area. We so excited to go to see the hidden door at Atlas. But was kicked out without even ordering anything. It was 4pm on a Sunday. Reason I didn't order an alcohol drink was because I do not drink alcohol. I understand if there was a bouncer in the front but there wasn't nor anywhere standing I'd was needed

If you are looking for the PERFECT places to enjoy a cocktail or two in Bishop Arts... ATLAS should be at the top of your list! From the moment you walk in you are taken on a cultural journey with their cocktail and small bites menu! We first fell in love with the dark ambiance and art, but were in awe of our customer service!

So cute in here! We came in on a Saturday afternoon after walking around the strip for a bit. The online menu was down but the server was nice enough to let us view it on her phone. She was able to give us recommendations based on our preferences. We both loved our drinks and the ambiance of the bar. Can't wait to come back and try more!

Super cute small dark old school bar! They had jazz band that was great and their drinks fantastic. Great service. Very intimate setting.

Awesome place if you're in town for a phenomenal cocktail. I was visiting from LA and glad we stumbled upon this place. The ambience in here was perfect for a rainy Dallas day. It has a warm low light lounge vibe that was very cozy to sip on some quality cocktails. We stopped in for a drink and ended up staying there for 2hrs because of the wide selection of spirits they had and of course the amazing bartender that was not only incredibly helpful but a true master at his craft. I offered him to give me a "dealers choice" cocktail using a spirit I chose and it was probably one of the best cocktails I've ever had. This place is truly a gem and if I'm ever back in Dallas I'd definitely come here again! Cheers!

Came here Sunday night for a chill relaxing evening before I started back my work week and enjoyed the drinks, food, music and atmosphere. The jerk tacos were delicious and I enjoyed my Zombie beverage. The spot can get pretty crowded and you make have to wait on a seat but it's not a long wait bc customers come and go. I will be returning

If I could put no stars, I would. Don't go here. They are racist and discriminatory. I was literally denied entry because of my VALID out of state ID. I understand they reserve the right of admission but for a Puerto Rican ID? Puerto Rico; which is US territory AND the oldest US colony. My friend showed his Mexican ID and they let him in, where as with mine he (tall white male bouncer) didn't even looked twice. Such a pity honestly that this kind of stuff still happens in 2024, specially in a community that's so welcoming and diverse. Do better. Be better.

Love it!!! They actually make amazing drink. My rusty nail was on point and I have been raving about it ever since my first visit! Amazing vibe on a Monday! Can't wait to visit with more friends in the very near future.

Here's a picture of Citygirl. We love her. Best hands down. Abel is cool too. 10/10 recommend

Tried Atlas for the first time yesterday! Amazing! Loved everything about it from the bar staff, to the decor and the drinks! Super good! Gabriel and his team are super rad. Can't wait to come back!

I did not have any of the food here. The specialty espresso martinis were calming and luscious to the bone. We sat at the bar and was tended to promptly. The bartender is sweet and bubbly. The interior gives Poe, but the breathtaking feminine artwork inside and bar made of live resin; this place is chill and hip without the hipster attitude. A great place for a date night/night cap or a daytime drink with a few gal pals. Speciality cocktails in a quaint and comfy setting right in bishop arts! Find parking and get over here!

We stumbled upon this bar after window shopping in the area and managed to snag a table at 7pm on a friday night. From there we had about 3 rounds of drinks over the course of 2 hours. There was a 15min power outage but we were totally unfazed- the vibes were just that good! Will have to try the food next time.

Fun little place to go for unique craft cocktails. Live music on a Wednesday night, which was an added plus. Seemed to be the most popular bar compared to other establishments in the area. Bartenders were friendly and made some delicious drinks, I actually stepped out of my drink element while here! Very little wait time and very accommodating. Thanks for a great experience

Came here for some drinks with a group and the had a nice craft cocktail. Drinks were solid. Service was friendly. I would recommend checking it out and would consider going back.

Solid variety of drinks. I drink French75 and they have it on happy hour and it's delicious and not syrupy at all! The music is always current and vibey. The bartenders are just real cool ppl. Very approachable and they always make time for small convos with customers.

Had the Jamaican jerk tacos and pisco sour. My friend had the bruschetta and the Paloma. All delicious! The ambiance is beautiful with gorgeous art! The service would have been a little nicer if a waiter came to table, it was inconvenient to constantly go up to bar. Aside from that it was great!

Perfect night out with close friends! The spot is intimate and open with beautiful decor and friendly service. My friend and I were there for over 3 hours and the bar never become overly crowded. There were a good amount of people with not a huge concern about getting seated. If you show up before 8pm you'll have no problem at all. They offer some snack bites and I ordered the hummus board. Also good and simple!

The overall ambiance of this place is pretty nice-- laid-back and comfy but still classy. We tried several drinks from the menu and each one was expertly crafted. I really liked the consistency of the drinks around the world theme with the name of the bar and the follow-through with the passport checkbook holder. We went on a Thursday evening so the speakeasy portion was not open but we look forward to going back again on a Friday or Saturday to try that experience.

Visited Atlas during the start of a celebratory night out to grab a few drinks and a light snack. Loved the vibe of this cocktail bar and loved that it wasn't too crowded. We started with a couple cocktails. My partner loved her Singapore Sling, and raved about it. I ordered the Pimms cup and asked for a sub for the Pimm (I liked all the other ingredients) but she said she'd make me something else instead. Unfortunately I didn't like what she made. I ordered a Nomad next without the lavender but wasn't too much a fan of that either. I think the key if you want an original cocktail here is to stick with it as written and no substitutions. I appreciate craft cocktails take a while to develop, so bartenders may not like making substitutions. That said, the pretzel bites were bomb and were the highlight of the visit for me.

I LOVED IT HERE! I stopped by on Thursday night and they had a DJ. Such a vibe. It wasn't too loud , I was still able to have conversations. Now my drink.... Def a 1 and done for me! Their drinks are strong lol, not made for the weak. The bartenders were super informative and friendly. I got the menu explained to me with excitement from the associate! I can't wait to go back!

This is a smaller bar in the area. It is a bit dark but a quiet and chill place. Although I do not drink, I still really enjoyed my experience here. The service was great and the employees are wonderful. I had the Beef Pho and it was good, especially for a late night meal. I really like the late hours since everything else during the week is normally closed. I will definitely recommend and will be back!

Great great drinks, great service, great ambiance. Wonderful place to meet coworkers for a drink or take a date. It's usually always bustling but the vibes are always immaculate. It can get a little loud but we didn't mind. The dark lit bar is a local favorite!

Beautiful drinks, scenery and very nice bartenders and bar-backs. The vibes and energy when you're there is very calming yet fun. I really like the Nomad it's so refreshing and tasty. Definitely recommend this place to EVERYONE!

Atlas is one of the better bars in Bishop Arts District. It has a great vibe. On a Saturday night, I received great service at the bar. Great Atmosphere, Great Drinks, Great Service

Ladies and Gents Atlas is the one of the sexiest bars in Bishop. If you're new to Bishop Arts please make sure you add them as one of your must see spots. The layout of the bar along with awesome paintings you won't find anywhere, make this truly Instagram worthy. I love that they are one of a few bars in the area you will find in town that is open until 2am everyday with exception Tuesdays; the only day they Arwen closed. The food is bomb digity good. (The kitchen closes at 12am weekdays and 1am weekends) My favorites are the Pho, Cuban sandwich and Gyro. Like an Atlas the food is taking me around the world. Thinking about the gyro has my mouth watering. The fresh veggies, tzatziki and gyro meat omg! I usually ask for extra meat. The drinks are downright some of the best sipping in town. My favorite is the atlas shrugs, which serves 3 people. It's a rum old fashion. The Plantation 5 year rum results in a smooth balanced drink, that will leave you asking for one more. The ambience by day is great for business meetings or libation during lunch. Better yet ask about renting the speakeasy behind the bookcase. By night they turn the music up and you have a classic cocktail lounge that would be great for a 1st date, anniversary or birthday. This bar will definitely be added to my bar rotation.

The WORST service I have experienced in a very long time. Our bartender was incredibly rude. After very poor service, I went up to pay, and she slid the check at me and said, by the way your tip has been already included. There were only four of us, and we were forced to pay a tip that was clearly not deserved. Will never step foot in this place again.

Exceptional ambience and drinks. Seating is limited and it seems like Atlas is quite popular, but if you manage to find some seats you will not be disappointed. Great place to enjoy some cocktails and take in the eclectic pieces of art all over the walls here. Enjoy!

Absolutely love this place! Great place to come and relax after a days work! Enjoy a few cocktails in a dark & intimate setting! Nice chill vibes! For sure will be back! More of high end low key chill spot!

Dope restaurant! My friends and I were trying to go to Veracruz down the street, until we saw they were closed for construction. We stumbled on this place due to the great music and lighting inside. We had a few drinks that were bomb - Pina Colada and the Zombie! Food was good too, we had the jerk chicken tacos, carnitas tacos, meatballs, the pho. I will definitely be back to this place!

Best vibe in Dallas. Old-school dark wooden decor with contemporary art that adds a modern twist. Atlas is an amazing addition to the Bishop Arts District and a great place to start a night out. Drinks were exceptional as well-- Best Gin & Tonic and Espresso Martini I've ever had.

I really enjoyed this place. Came in on a Wednesday night for an impromptu night cap and the drink menu did not disappoint. With the dimmed lights and music it's a vibe. I loved everything about this place and would recommend.

This place is a vibe. I've been here twice. Drink are always consistently tasty. The bartenders are attentive and will tell you about the drinks and how they're curated. The music is always vibey. Their menu is a cool concept. During my second visit I ordered the "German Style Bratwurst" and it was literally a hot dog. The sausage was literally non existent . I was very disappointed. My friends ordered the meatballs and Jerk Tacos those were very good.

The first time I visited Atlas Bishop Arts, I was shopping at Spinster Records, and decided to stop in for a cocktail. I wasn't expecting anything I experienced! Although the space is tight, the warm, and artistic design feels roomy, but cozy; this with the eclectic clientele makes everyone feel right at home. I spent most of my first night at Atlas Bishop Arts, in their hidden bar; any mystery movie would enjoy. If you're a craft cocktail person, beer or top shelf guy like myself they have it all, and for fair prices, I must add; served by a staff that's Amazing! I waited to visit Atlas Bishop Arts, a few times, both during the week, and weekend before writing my review, to fairly share the Vibe! Weekends are definitely more hype, but visiting Atlas Bishop Arts, during the week won't disappoint! Enjoy your cocktails, and new friends! Xoxo Lorenzo

I have loved going to Atlas for years. But my last experience was not anything I have ever experienced. I ordered 1 drink, went to the restroom, and then got kicked out. Last thing I would have ever expected! Atlas was held to higher standards for me. But after this experience never again.

Drink menu has different cocktails that represent countries across the globe. Can't speak for the other drinks because I was HOOKED on their espresso martini after having just one! This place isn't cheap, but this drink was worth it. Checks come in a cute passport booklet. I can't wait to go back to try different cocktails from around the world!

I ended up in this cozy lounge after shopping in Bishop Arts on a Saturday. It actually wasn't very packed at all which I liked. I feel that it would be the perfect place to end your day date, I had to Mexican Gin & Tonic and ends up getting 2 and definitely felt it immediately lol definitely going to add this place to my bi-weekly solo day date because it can get a little crowded at night, especially with the speak easy in the back.

This was the last bar stop for the day so we already had plenty to drink but I liked the theme of this place. They had a bat at the top shelf and I wanted to ask what was the story but ended up forgetting. It was easy to find seats and our bartender was helpful in explaining the drinks. Ended up with singapore sling and I loved it! Would definitely come back to try their other cocktails.

Charcuterie board is a good choice for sharing. Some drinks are good, others are a bit intense. Ask the bar tender for recommendations! Ambiance is cozy/relaxed.

Upscale vibey cocktail bar that doesn't deliver in experience. The cocktails are pricey which would be okay if they were exceptional, but they aren't. They are absolutely mediocre and inconsistent. Even in the same night. Staff is not exactly rude, but they are completely disinterested, unenthusiastic, unwelcoming and seem annoyed. I'm so sorry I have to ask what reposados you have because your bar is just packed full of tons of stuff and it's hard to see what all you have. Not once of the maybe 4 times I've had cocktails here have I had someone say "thank you" when dropping the bill or leaving. Not once has one person behind the bar even smiled. As someone in the industry working in an upscale environment I can say that this is just not the kind of place that appeals to me. It's all surface, no substance and no actual personality. They have cool decor, amazing artwork, and a crap ton of spirits crammed on the shelf. That says to me that they don't know what they really are and don't mind money just sitting there with bartenders that make mediocre drinks with them with sour faces. Could be really cool if they had a point of view and some friendly staff.

I love speakeasies. This place have been on my list since it opened. Boyfriend was in town for the holidays and we spent Wednesday night out. We originally came to the area for this Christmas pop up bar that I absolutely love, but there was no seats and we decided to leave after a drink to check out other bars. We found Atlas and walked in and got seats at the bar. Ambiance was nice and totally have the speakeasy theme. I absolutely love their drink options. We were still early in our night, and didn't want to drink too much before our next stop, so we just had a drink each. I liked the drink I ordered a lot. I'll definitely return to try more of the drinks some days.

This review is purely based on tacos. But first, Atlas's aesthetic gives, very much, Frida Kahlo and Wednesday Adams love child. Personally, I loved it. But, the real star of the show at Atlas is the tacos. 3 of them will cost you about $10, but it will be the best $10 you've ever spent. Trust me. The well seasoned carnitas, pickled onions, and fresh salsa had me in a state of culinary bliss. You know that feeling when you're in new love, and sometimes it feels like it's just you and that person? That's what eating these tacos felt like. It was truly love at first bite. If you do nothing else right in your life, do one good thing and go get those tacos!

ZERO stars. If negative was possible, I'd put that. Do yourself a favor and take your money elsewhere. I've never in my life left a review for anything, but I am absolutely outraged at my experience here. A long wait for terrible service and terrible drinks. God forbid you have to go to the bathroom! You'll have a mob - hyped up by the male bathroom guard throwing threats to barge in - outside the door screaming that you're taking too long when it's been 90 secs... This is a joke of a business. I can guarantee literally anywhere else will be better.

Horrible, horrible, horrible service!!!! Do not go here if you are African American!!! They will racially proile you and discriminate against you!!! Last night two of my friend girls and I ended our night at Atlas. It was a great night with good music (awesome dj) until a bartender walked from behind the bar, blasted our ticket amount ($80+) to the entire venue then proceeded to demand a certain dollar amount tip from my friend. My friend proceeded to say, "We just ordered more drinks." Long story short the waiter went on to say and yell very aggressively how he only makes $2/hr. He proceeded to say, "You all have been here for three hours and have been saying "aye" all night!" (again, awesome dj, but are we not allowed to enjoy ourselves while singing and dancing)? This is the point where I stood up because I began to feel harassed and discriminated against!!! It was almost 2:00 am and they were about to close. He continued to be aggressive and demanded a certain dollar amount tip. I work in human resources, my friends are managers and i've never experienced anything like this in my twenty nine years of life but that was not the worst part; after we paid for our last drinks, we were already on our way out; the waiter pointed and yelled, "out!!!! you're banned!! Boo these people and the crowd actually booed us as we walked out!!!!!! This was by far the worst experience in my life!!!!!!! I repeat, if you are African American do not patronize this business as you will be discriminated against and racially profiled!!!!!!! I am rating Atlas at a one star but if i could put zero stars it would definitely be zero out of five stars!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I were looking for a low key bar with great drinks on our second night in Dallas and we were not disappointed! We started at a different bar and the drinks weren't as appealing. We did a quick search and liked how Atlas' drinks were tied to different countries. We sat by the bar and were served by such a friendly bartender. We believe her name was Abby? The music was great and had so many diverse genres. We also got some small bites and really enjoyed the Mexican ceviche. It complimented our drinks well. I ordered the pisco sour and a daiquiri. Both had great presentation and went down way too easily My husband ordered the rugged flower. He enjoyed it so much that he ordered the same one for our next round. We had such a great time that we are planning on coming back before we leave!

A very nice spot located in the heart of Bishop Arts district. The building inside had an old saloon vibe and the decore made it modern and beautiful. This place is new and you still can smell the fresh coats of paint. Their drink line up is plentiful with a variety of summer mixed drinks. Whiskey was in the menu but a whiskey drink didn't make their line up. Certainly you can always order off the menu as my husband did with his old fashion. They have a few good items but this definitely was not a restaurant spot. The waitress was very friendly and kept circling back to see if there was anything more she could help us with.

Bar is ok, just don't try to be yourself. Staff is extremely hostile, down to the restroom, to the bar personnel'

Ambience: I love the old school vibe of the bar! Drinks: So happy its in one of my favorite neighborhood's, bishops! I got a tequila based drink which was part of a halloween special. So good! Love to go to bars where the bartender takes the extra time to make the drink perfect! Crowd: I went on a weekday. Will check out the speakeasy during a weekend since that's when its open. Hope they add more cocktails to the menu so that there is a wider selection. Love that they have a variety of food too. I wish every bar did this! The hummus was great!

Atlas is one of Dallas' better establishments and Bishop Art's pride and glory! The venue itself delivers style and grace while providing exceptional customer service. The ambiance is debonair and there's even an a private, more intimate area behind the bookshelf that kicks everything I just listed up a notch! Despite this being a rather cozy quarter, there's more than enough seating for parties (private room), groups, couples, and those flying solo dolo! Atlas also has a literal living gem, by the name of Ashley, at the bar that can enhance your night expeditiously with their excellent bar etiquette and concoction creating skills! Prepare to be dazzled! On any given night the vibe is just "right" at this spot! I look forward to many more occasions here.

Love this new spot in Bishop Arts District!! Opened recently and has library lounge vibes. There's a small speakeasy in the back as well. Entrance to the speakeasy is a massive book shelf. Open until 2am every night. Was packed on a Friday night, good crowd and great service! Fun menu too, they had so many unique drinks from around the world. Ordered the Singapore Sling, Rose Gold, Truth Serum, and the cheesecakes (English Banoffee and Swiss Chocolate). The drinks and cheesecake were AMAZING! Flavors in the drinks were very unique and blended well together. Singapore Sling was a large drink, tasty, but had a little too much ice in it. The Rose Gold was a smaller portion, tasted a lot like beet juice and less like a drink. The Truth Serum had a strong cardamum flavor to it, but was creamy and milky. The cheesecakes were decadent and fresh. Will be coming back here again!
