Kennedy Room

Went last night. Great laid back vibes with great food in the heart of uptown. The bartender was super sweet. The environment is very warm and inviting. They have free pool (billiards), a huge patio, and great food! We tried their turkey sandwich and it was probably one of the best ones I have tasted in my life, if not the best! Their wedge fries were great as well. They have delicious martinis and other weekly specials! Can’t wait to go back again!!!

My friend and I were taking a walk downtown and stopped in Kennedy Room for a cocktail. 10/10 experience. Great bartenders and drinks. The owner Ali is super hospitable and welcoming. Catered to us for the time we were there. Will be back for sure.

The hookah is too good here they are available on Friday s and Saturday s .Loved this place and drinks

Hookah was really good... Nice place to chill out in patio....

Wonderful time ! Came here after work, amazing happy hour I was helped by Tina. Great espresso martinis which happen to be my favorite! Bartenders are down to earth and they also self free popcorn!

Great place, awesome service. Super inviting in a smaller venue-felt like home when we walked in.

Great if you're looking for a total dive bar. Definitely a lot of regulars hang out here.

A Cozy Gem in an Old Mansion! Walking into the Kennedy Room feels like stepping into a familiar place, instantly evoking the vibe of an old friend’s pool house turned bar. Located in a section of an old mansion that’s part of the Old Warsaw steakhouse, the entrance may be unassuming, but it belies the vibrant life within. The spirit and beer selection, while not extensive, is thoughtfully curated. I particularly enjoyed the top-shelf bourbon and whiskey options, served either neat or with a large block of ice. The classy decor adds to the charm, creating a lively environment that attracts a diverse crowd. On the night we visited, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy, featuring everyone from nurses and college students to gym buddies, as well as groups of young women celebrating a bachelorette party or simply enjoying a night out. It’s a place where you’re bound to have a good time, no matter who you are. Don’t forget to indulge in the free popcorn on the side. For a more spirited experience, ask for Daisy behind the bar—she’s known for making the night even more memorable. If you prefer a more mellow vibe, her colleague will serve you well. Either way, you’re in for a treat.

Love this place. Whether you're traveling or a local, Daisy and the team will instantly make you feel like a regular. The best place if you want to chill, party, laugh, and have a great time! Hidden gem.

Love the Kennedy Room!!! This is my new favorite bar in Dallas. At a hidden corner, you wouldn't know it's there unless ya knew it was there. Love the music and cocktails. Bartender was such a sweet girl. I'll be going back here every time I visit Dallas. She played a mix of old school 90s-early 00s hip hop & R&B. Than played a mix of house-rock music. There's a pool table& plenty of books to read if you're into that when drinking.

Stopped in for a quick friend after dinner down the street. I immediately felt welcome. I loved the vibe and the bartenders were super cool. The espresso martini was delish and they gave us some popcorn and nuts. I can't wait to come back when I'm in town.

Thank you for your patience and kindness. My party behaved poorly and they handled it with class and kindness. I cannot support them enough

Drinks and service are elite. Where I have a problem is the food. The food in my opinion is worse than a middle school cafeteria food. I ordered nachos and the nachos came back with cold cheese, bland meat, and stale chips. I am grateful that the bartender did not charge me for those or I would've give a 2 or 1 star review. The atmosphere is very peaceful and calming. Low music for people to hear each other. However, be aware it's not a big space area.

I'm so glad I stumbled across this neighborhood bar on accident as it truly was a pleasant, very chill place for drinks and desserts. Although it was pretty slow when I was there, the bartenders are truly what make this place so special. They are both so patient, and willing to make whatever you suggest. I like this place because it's different from the other bars in the area. The drinks are affordable and you don't have to fight with the crowd of people who visit bars based off of a "tiktok" review. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking to unwind after a hard day of work, or if you actually intend on having actual conversation that you can hear with your date!

Five stars. Start or end your night here. Incredibly unique and eclectic vibe. Ambiance was 10/10 for a pre-dinner cocktail stop. Jay took care of us and schooled us on the history of the venue, and also gave us a ton of insight in the best places in the area.

This is my favorite place to go. Lots of cool people. Good Drinks. Great Service. Plenty of pool competition.

We had desserts and drinks. Peach cobbler was really good and the tiramisu was a bit dry (more like a cake, missing some of the delicious layers that keep the cake moist and the coffee taste). Bathroom didn't work, it was very unpleasant and I believe it was a shared bathroom with the restaurant Old Warsaw. Our bartender was great and no wait on deserts. It was a nice little quickie after dinner. It was super chill vibe, small, and intimate, so not a hype loud bar (like me).

Had an amazing time here! The environment was super friendly and clean Erica the bartender was nothing but kind and welcoming Will come here again

This was a terrific treat for first time Dallas visitors. We had a cocktail and ordered the steak nachos. The Nachos were incredible, totally different than anything we've ever had before. Best described as a kind of beef stroganoff preparation. They should charge more for this. 80s music brought us back in time ... when probably no one would have thought of that nacho recipe. Go to this place.

Always an amazing experience! Top notch service from Daisy and co. Jay is always so intentional and makes every guest feel VIP. You are missing out if you haven't been here. I am positive they are the only bar keeping the uptown night alive.

We came here for the first time tonight and we LOVE it! Super chill, and the bar tenders are awesome. Kick back and relax with good people kind of bar....

Went by for the first time since COVID and it's so sad! Assuming there was a major change in management, because this place is no longer the Kennedy room. Fair warning to locals. Mostly bottom shelf bar, no cocktail menu (or cocktails, they couldn't make an old fashioned), no pool table...expect strobe lights and club music.

This place is like an upscale, chill bar! The owner is so nice, the bartenders are great and know what they're making. Reasonable prices, especially in uptown. Totally recommend this place!

This place is the best. The bartenders are great - great personalities. The owner is so hot and memorable. He will remember your name after one meet: he is amazing.

Bar was great! Accommodated my party and hosted us with grace! Drinks were amazing and hookah was top notch. Highly recommend.

Amazing food, great ambiance! My friends and I dined here for a birthday dinner and it was a wonderful experience. I had the filet mignon stuffed with crab meat and it was delicious. Very classy decor, ambiance, and attentive staff. Would definitely come here again to dine or grab a drink!

Went for a couple of drinks right when they opened and the bartender didn't know how to make to many drinks. Not sure if he isn't the regular bartender or this is more of a beer and shots type of bar. Overall he did try and the place was nice

Great spot to play pool, drink, and hang out with friends! Also had great pool tables/ steaks. Or a banana foster if you're into that

The Kennedy Room is awesome, they have a great staff as well as hookahs and a pool table. Their menu is eclectic and delicious. I highly recommend.

A very interesting place. Dallas is decidedly ( by me, arbitrarily) all about Kennedy. And this place is no exception. It's a very QUIRKY spot--a small, dark space ( with some possible outdoor space) with taxidermy, a chalkboard wall, books (?I presume about Kennedy), a lush old-timey looking bar and plush leather couches and antique upholstered high back chairs throughout. As far as the food and drink, they are not bad, with a daily (weekday) happy hour until 7:30 ( website says 6:30) with cheap wines, cocktail and beer deals. While there are no food deals, the food is very cheap ($7 burger anyone?) and my friend purchased the salmon dish which was surprisingly juicy with delicious mashed potatoes and great brussel sports. The drinks are not bad, including the house wine. Overall, a good time, with quaint, unique atmosphere, great for a quick meal or afterwork drink with friends.

Great spot, good service. Hidden gem in uptown, definitely worth going if you have never been. Ask for the Trinidad Trash can drink- sooo good

I really enjoyed my girls night here - the delicious food, great service, classy environment, were all top notch! The owner is so friendly and made my friends and I feel so welcome. Definitely worth checking out!

The most incredible smoked prime rib I've ever had. Oh, and the 1997 Chateau Lociando-Mallet Haut-Medoc paired very nicely! Loaded baked potato and green beans were delish and the cheesecake was DIVINE

Everyone is super friendly, lots of regulars and they really make you feel welcome . Be ready to tell them what you do for a living and make some jokes :) Food is amazing and so are drinks

Charismatic. Toasty. Quaint. That describes the Kennedy Room. Although it's not large enough to be worthy of a presidential press conference, it screams 'Murica with its JFK themed splendor. Facility: As others have noted, the space is small so try not to bump into your fellow bar-mate's Jackie-O or John's John bevvie. Yes, they even coined JFK era evoking names for their signature cocktails. Speaking of coins - the bar top is covered in copper Lincoln heads (read: pennies) which helps their presidential theme. Near the fire-place was a wing-back chair with JFK biographical reading material. Nice touch! Photo-op not passed up! ;-) Offerings: The bartenders were patient as we all kept them busy with all the drink orders - signature and non-signature. One bartender allowed me to snap a photo of him at work - thanks! In addition to their signature cocktails, they offer a vast selection of liquor, some beer, and some wine. At the bar they had some legit potato chips in small bowls for snacking. Also, they have food earlier in the day but I can't speak to it. Parking: I got lucky and found what might have been the last parking spot available in their parking lot (I got there around 9pm). I'm not sure where to park if there is nothing available there since most of uptown is valet. Beware of areas in the parking garage you are not allowed to park in. I've only been once but absolutely loved the Kennedy Room and will return!

Excellent and lovely bar for after dinner night caps. Great ambiance and service. Also great for date night. When spring arrives this place is going to win your heart with their romantic patio.

Great service! Great drinks! Awesome old school environment!!!! We had a great time and highly recommend!!!!

Super bowl ent for a private party yesterday 12/17/2017 and had a blast! Will be back for an old fashioned

Stop by for the ambiance. Stay for a drink the bartender can't make. Leave because of the ambiance. Great for a bar crawl stop, night cap, to grab a drink with a date to test them out, or if you're looking for a cheap spot. Had fun there, and will go back, but the selection is limited. Love the hole in the wall feeling... It's divey but in a very interesting way. Our bartender did not know what a green tea shot is, and due to language barriers we unfortunately couldn't communicate how to mix Jameson and peach schnapps properly. We had a shot of tequila instead.

Best hookah and drinks!!! Super chill spot ....bartender is amazing and treated us like royalty!

While hubby and I specifically sought this little bar out because of the good reviews, I have to say I was less than impressed. Our drinks (an old fashioned and a Paloma) were at best meh. The $7 burger was as bland as they get. The lobster Mac and cheese? BOOM! Absolutely fabulous and made the trip worth it. Would I return for anything else? Can't say I would.

Super spicy jalapeño martini burns your tastebuds off but in a good way!!!!!!! Try it. Fast service.

Neat little bar. Very home like feeling inside. Loved the fireplace. Reasonably priced. However, service was slow and drinks were not very well done. I had a gin and tonic. Too much tonic to gin ratio and the tonic water was flat. Also, they didn't have a lime to put in my drink! My friend ordered a glass of wine and her glass was dirty. I will not return.

Service has been impeccable. The service group I have been associated with has been a group I would recommend to anyone. Drinks are appropriately priced and the music to accompany is exceptional. Location is perfect and would highly recommend.

Kennedy room is such a cute cozy bar. Honestly a hidden gem with lots of history. Come for good drinks and fun games

Went to this spot for the first time the other night. Highly recommend the bar for a date night! Great atmosphere, great drinks and even better service. We loved the steak tartare. Will definitely be returning soon!

Had the best experience at the Kennedy Room definitely recommend! Not only great food and drinks but the BEST service 10/10 and they make great espresso martinis

I'm so glad I stopped by here! The service is amazing and the environment is peaceful especially during the day! The hookah was also a plus! Definitely my new bar spot in Dallas.

This is such a gem amongst the hustle and bustle of Dallas. Great drinks, beautiful patio, and perfect atmosphere for any occasion.

Great atmosphere here! The service is amazing! And they have complementary hookah which you won't find anywhere else!!

Great atmosphere ! Music that considers the culture. Lovely place ! I would definitely recommend.

Came here on Sunday it was good vibes! Food was good! My friends and I had a good time! The DJ was really good.

I am so glad my friends and I stumbled upon this bar. It was inviting, has pool table and the service was good not to mention the drinks!

Below average bar in uptown. General manager Al lies about drink specials and prices. I would not recommend this bar to anyone.

Cool place for drinks, very laid back. There is a nice patio outside. They however did not have my dang tea vodka. I'm torn between a 3-4 star rating.

Great cocktail bar. Very intimate with their fireplace set up. This is a good spot tucked away from the always busy uptown and downtown. Would definitely comeback to sit back, relax and have a drink on one fine day.

I've been going to Kennedy room for 4 years and it's my favorite Dallas bar by far. Strong drinks, friendly staff, classic decor & a splash of New Orleans vibes

Really cool bar tucked away in the heart of Uptown. Great spot for happy hours, and the patio is perfect if it's a nice day. Bartenders are super friendly and make great drinks. After drinks, grab the lobster bisque next door at the Old Warsaw.
