Classic cocktails, wagyu hot dogs, laid-back vibe
"From the outside, Mike’s looks like a dive, but it’s really more of a “dive,” with comfortable bar stools, leather booths, clean bathrooms, and genuinely good spirits, so you can get a solid martini or Old Fashioned. But most people are here for the laid-back atmosphere—note the roped-off stripper pole still standing from the bar’s past life—kicking back with Miller High Life and wagyu hot dogs (the only item on the nonexistent food menu). In a welcome twist, those dogs don’t hit the roller until you order them, so they’re always fresh, even when you’re swinging through late at night. Pair with a shot of Malört if you’ve got a devil-may-care attitude toward your taste buds." - kevin gray

"Described as a completely different and top-notch cocktail bar from Pasha Heidari, Mike’s Gemini Twin Lounge is mentioned as another standout operation associated with the partners involved in the Black Swan relaunch." - Courtney E. Smith
"This spot down in the Cedars has the vibe of a dive but specializes in the classic cocktails of a much fancier spot. And it’s got hot dogs (wagyu, jalapeno cheddar, and brisket) that keep folks coming back." - Eater Staff
"A no-frills new neighborhood bar in the Cedars just south of Downtown, Mike’s Gemini Twin is officially ready to begin serving drinks at 1902 South Harwood Street, opening Thursday, February 14 at 4 p.m. and operating daily from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Co-owned by Sam Wynne (who owns Bowls & Tacos and Braindead Brewing) and bar veteran Pasha Heidari (owner of Bowen House), the spot is intended as a low-key place for area residents to grab a beer, sip a cocktail, or shoot some pool. The name is a vintage Dallas reference to a long-shuttered drive-in called the Gemini Twin. Expect a full bar and wine, “a couple” of Braindead Brewing beers on tap, and numerous bottled beers — not fancy craft cocktails — and no printed menus yet." - Amy McCarthy
