"Next door, this other iconic Dallas dive bar is decked out with VHS tapes and serves Vietnamese food." - H. Drew Blackburn
"Cosmo’s is the standard for which all neighborhood bars should strive. It’s adequately quirky—a small TV plays VHS tapes, there’s mismatched furniture and a jukebox, and bartenders keep your tab on actual pieces of paper. The Vietnamese menu is filled with family recipes, and the drinks range from a few simple cocktails to usual-suspect beers and liquors. You’ll see large groups celebrating with cans of beer, and solo regulars eating warming bowls of pho and crispy, Cajun dry-rub chicken wings while half-watching Robocop or Ghostbusters. Cinephiles take note: If you sit next to the TV, you get to pick the movie. Don’t f*ck it up." - kevin gray

"This Lakewood dive bar is known for its Vietnamese and fusion dishes, and it has a late night menu that only runs from 11 p.m. to 1:15 a.m. Dive into late night dishes of dumplings, egg rolls, stoner wings, ribeye tacos, and more." - Rachel Pinn
"Cosmo’s used to be known as a dive bar, but now it’s one of the top stops in the city for Vietnamese food. The menu has a robust offering of pho and banh mi — and the tacos and French bread pizza should not be slept on. If its late at night, order the stoner rolls." - Courtney E. Smith
