Boxcar

This hidden gem has the most charming atmosphere straight from the Great Gatsby era! The details curated for the illusion of a moving train car are astonishing! The craft cocktails created by the Scotty awaken the senses like never before accompanied by witty conversation! The server, Savannah greeted us with a beautiful smile and patiently answered all my questions, a true gem! Outstanding service, food and drinks! I would give them 10 stars if I could and will definitely return!!

The vibes and decor are so cool! It's like stepping into a past decade meets the current decade feel! I love the boxcar idea and the scenes that play as you're relaxing and enjoying your drink, convo, and apps. It's a small space, so it can get pretty loud, but isn't that the vibe and experience of a boxcar bar?!?! We tried the truffled tater tots, the chicken meatballs, which were very filling, and the caboose juice. I can't wait to return to try other drink and app options!

I discovered this charming bar through a Facebook Reels feature (Dallas Lovelist) showcasing the Top 10 unique spots in DFW. This delightful vintage train car experience made for a memorable date night, despite the challenge of locating it! We circled the block a few times due to the tiny entrance, which lacked any signage. Fortunately, we spotted a small Boxcar sign in the back alley for parking. The lot was full, so we opted to park in the free, well-lit Ozona lot on Greenville. The Boxcar entrance is adjacent to a Vape/Cigar shop in a strip mall. Once inside, we quickly found a table for two, and our server promptly greeted us. She was attentive throughout the evening, and our drinks arrived shortly after we ordered. We started with two bourbon cocktails, Broken Quartz and X Roads, both delicious and beautifully presented. For our main dishes, we tried the French Dip and Meatballs, both of which were tasty. The meatballs had the perfect spicy kick. We rounded off our meal with martinis, which were equally impressive. Our tab for two was $109, which we thought was fair, especially given the refreshingly unique experience. If you're an adventurer this is a must-visit! For our next Boxcar outing, we plan on doing drinks and appetizers before enjoying a nice dinner nearby. If you're seeking something different for happy hour, this spot is worth checking out!

Dallas’s best new cocktail bar! Sexy, chic, and solid service. Carlos and Scotty are absolutely killing it behind the bar. Creative and beautifully crafted cocktails, great ambiance, and a solid charcuterie board. Can’t wait to try more of the menu and see what creations this team comes up with.

One of a kind experience in Dallas. Very lowkey speakeasy, doesn’t even have a sign outside. Lounge area is classy with vintage table lamps and atmosphere, leather booth seating along the walls. Ceiling is rounded at the edges to evoke boxcar feel, screens showing train ride across various weather conditions. Very cool. Cocktails are top notch, and the upscale bar food was shareable & delicious. Definitely on my list of local hangs now.

The best new spot in Dallas for an unforgettable, intimate night out! You walk in and are immediately transported to what feels like boarding a train with the perfect amount of vintage charm. The details put into the menu (both food & drink), the ambiance, the timeless atmosphere - these are the best people to do it! Cannot recommend Boxcar enough. Considering myself their newest regular!

Step off Greenville Avenue and into another world at Boxcar! This hidden gem transports you to the golden age of train travel with its plush velvet seating, dim lighting, and mesmerizing 'windows' that display scenic countryside views. But the real magic happens at the bar. Allen (Scotty) Scott and Carlos Angel, the expert mixologists and partners behind Boxcar, have crafted an exceptional cocktail menu using house-made syrups and infusions. Their passion for their craft shines through in every drink, like the unforgettable bourbon cocktail with orange/honey/milk syrup – smoky, subtly sweet, and unlike anything I've ever tasted. The small bites perfectly complement the drinks, making Boxcar the ideal spot for a sophisticated and memorable evening. If you're searching for a truly unique cocktail experience in Dallas, look no further. All aboard!!!

CANT WAIT TO GO BACK! My bestie and I had a long hard day at work and wanted to go out and have fun. Nico (our bartender) was the answer to our prayers! He crafted every drink with care and gave the incredible customer service to match it! Nico alone 15 out of 10 stars. The atmosphere is beautiful. Dimly lit. Quiet but you still feel comfortable to talk. I wish they had a few more (or different) food options though. Cherry boxclaw is my jammmm!!! BTW Tuesday they have a happy hour all day 🥰

This place has become one of our favorite in the areas. Very nice and quaint speakeasy with such a unique concept inside. We love their interesting cocktails but also their classics, both are very good. Ended up celebrating NYE and had the best service from Niko the whole night. It was the best way to do new years without having loud music and crowds.

SUPER COOL SPOT!!! Loved the setup! Very original! Nothing like it in Dallas. The customer service was exceptional. The drink was made to perfection . Minimal parking but still not too bad. Drinks are a bit pricey but worth it! The inside is so cool!

Fun bar to be sure. I happened to snag a parking spot in front that was one not associated with the restaurant next door that has towing signs on theirs. Not sure where you park otherwise but is a lot some a short block north that might be theirs. Otherwise, there is some street parking around that area. We didn't try the food but the drinks were good. It filled up with people when we were there so probably start on the early side of the evening.

Don't go here if you have conservative political views. I was cut off for making a political joke that apparently didn't meet the bartender's political standards.

I'm on the fence about this place. When you first walk in, you're met with screens showing images of train scenes, creating a boxcar-like vibe. Beyond the decor, I'm still trying to see what sets this bar apart from others in the area. I guess it really depends on the crowd you're looking to drink with. I initially wanted a shot and a beer, but their only mezcal was Illegal, and they didn't offer Lalo or a comparable tequila. I ended up with a Hendrick's gin and tonic, which was noticeably weaker than what I'd get in Bishop Arts. For appetizers, we ordered the cheese crostinis, which were enough for our group of five, though nothing special--something you could make at home in about 15 minutes. I also tried the black truffle tater tots, which I'd return for. On a 5-point scale: * Experience: 3 * Drinks: 1 * Food: 3 Overall, that averages to about 3 stars.

This was a Valentine night treat! One of the best bar ideas in Dallas. The immersive train really makes you feel like you're riding on a train in the snow and mountains with fabulous views. Everyone was friendly and the drinks were tasty as well. Great for a date night, we will definitely return!

You have to checkout a new bar in Dallas called Boxcar. It is such a creative, cute bar! Don't let the outside fool you. This place is enchanting. The inside makes you feel like you are riding in a boxcar. The owners are great! They have a very friendly staff. The bar is small and intimate. It is definitely a great place to meet friends and enjoy a magical experience. Their cocktails are unique! Highly recommend that you check it out. I haven't tried their food yet, but it looks just as good as the drinks. Also, the bathrooms were clean and had some fun wallpaper.

Food and drinks are superb but parking is a hot mess. It's a tight space so avoid showing up after 8:00pm

I loved this speakeasy vibe, great location , Stylish and cozy atmosphere, good cocktails, 80's music , the charcuterie board was perfect!!!

Super cool little bar. Great new concept. Nico made us excellent drinks and was so friendly.

my favorite place in Dallas! perfect ambiance. amazing snacks , great service! Scotty , Savannah , and Carlos are amazing! 10/10 recommend.

Nice concept. My husband loved the old-fashioned drink. The French 75 could have been better; it had too much syrup and flat champagne, which is not a good combination. Flat75 is more like it

The atmosphere is fantastic, the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and the food by Eric Friedline is incredible. Their homemade syrups and infusions are top-notch, and the barrel-aged old-fashioned is a must-try. Even though they're still in soft opening, this place is already a gem. Don't forget to order a Hendricks and tonic

This place kicked my group out after they said my friend was "sleeping at the bar" even though we were actively conversing with the bartender. Straight up took his drink out of his hand and said he's had enough even though we were completely fine. Weird vibes and very pretentious.

A must bar to experience it was a great place fun hard working staff. The food was delicious for the price. It Is a speakeasy bar you have to know where it is but once you are there its magical place. A great place for dates or holiday parties.

Stoped by on a Sunday night around 6:00pm and door was locked and no sign beside the street address.

The food and the costumer service was great how ever the price was a little to much and the food role a long time to come also it was smelling when we got in and it smelled until we left but other than that great costumer service and great food would try agine for sure
