This has quickly become one of my favorite spots in Dallas. I first stopped by Jaquval at the beginning of the summer, and since then I've been back a few times -- each visit just as good as the last. Most recently, I came by in the mid-afternoon with a couple of friends to grab a drink and get a little work done, and once again, this place delivered exactly what we were looking for.
The vibe here is always super chill. They play music at a nice, reasonable volume -- enough to give the place some energy, but never so loud that it gets in the way of conversation or focus. It's a great spot to relax or even sneak in some work without distractions.
The beer list is solid. Plenty of choices, but not overwhelming. On this visit, I went with the Bishop Arts Lager, and it was perfect -- crisp, light, and just one of those easy beers you can sip on all afternoon while chatting or working. Definitely one I'll keep coming back for.
I also had the French Dip, and it was excellent. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the au jus had that rich taste that really pulls everything together. Definitely above expectations for pub food.
The staff has been consistently awesome across all my visits -- always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful with recommendations. You can tell they care about both the food and the beer, and that makes the experience even better.
Overall, the great beer, tasty food, and laid-back atmosphere, it's the perfect place for a midday or mid-afternoon getaway. Looking forward to many more visits!
