The People's Last Stand

Went here for a cocktail class cost was about $50 each. They provide all tools to make drinks and a glass of champagne as a starter. They have table games ,music, fun atmosphere with great instructors!

Not rating the food since I did not eat there. But this was a nice bar to chill. They have a couple couches and board games to play. I went for a mixology class with my group. I would recommend this place.

It was an amazing time at the people’s last stand. Our group was pretty big yet we all were able to have a very interactive and fun experience. The drinks were delicious and easy to make.

I came and took their cocktail class for my 22nd birthday and had such an amazing time!! Our instructors were so fun and engaging and ultimately were also just trying to have a good time with us! Everything was cleaned quickly and overall atmosphere is a vibe. Thank yall sooo much!!

Located near SMU, People’s Last Stand is a nice chic bar, with an open patio and ample seating space. I actually visit PLS for my first “cocktail making class” for a fun day out with my mom & sister. Talk about good time! We laughed, we drank, and we made 2 dig natural cocktails from scratch (a vodka martini and a blue raspberry margarita). Oh, and I can’t forget the complimentary champagne we received (by the way, it was the best champagne I’ve had - sweet and crisp with and apple undertone). The class was excellent, about 2hrs in total, we had the entire bar to ourselves. The instructors were great, funny and personable. The music was well curated and the bar itself was comfy and roomy. The class was $50/person. I’d definitely do it all over again.

The only sell charcuterie board platters. ( which ours was delicious) The Dj was so darn good. The inside is small but very nice spot but it also has outside seating as well. I recommend this place for lounging.

Came here with a group of women for their cocktail class on Cinco de Mayo and had an amazing time! Parking was easy to find and the bar wasn’t crowded. The instructors were very thorough in explaining how to make each drink but made it fun! I now how a great idea on making my own cocktails and plan on buying a cocktail kit for home use. If you’re looking to make cocktails and have a great time… check this place out!

I met up with a friend to enjoy the DJ, we danced all night and had a great atmosphere. parking is good, no food that night but you can walk next door to a pub or bar to order. The patio lifestyle is on point too!

What an awesome experience!! Came in to take their evening cocktail making class for my friend's bachelorette party. We did not stop laughing and smiling the whole time. It was such a fun experience that People's Last Stand offers. Our teachers were so amazing and friendly and really helped us out. They also have options for non alcoholic if you have someone in your party that cant or doesnt drink. The drinks were very tasty and you definitely get your moneys worth in terms of strength of drinks. I would highly recommend for date night, birthdays or any type of fun gathering. The bar is super cute too so we hung around afterwards to hang out. Will definitely return whenever i'm in Dallas next!

Dallas! I have a great date night, girls night idea for you I absolutely loved this cocktail making class. The instructors were very fun and interactive. They taught us how to make a drink like a pro. The drinks were tasty & STRONG. This class is worth every penny. We made 2 drinks and they gave us a glass of champagne for $50. We added a charcuterie board for extra $$. Follow @foodiesonthemove_ IG& TikTok

We had a lot of fun doing their cocktail class. Our instructor was very charismatic and taught us two cocktail drinks. I kept the recipe and I still make it when hosting to this day.

I came to the 2:00 class with my husband to celebrate our birthdays and it was everything I'd hoped. We were late, but they still accommodated us. We were quickly seated and followed along with a group. We got to meet other people at our table, which was fun as well. During the intermission, we ordered the charcuterie board, which was filling and delicious! Both drinks were unique and tasty. The ambiance surpassed my expectations. Although it's a small bar, the drink selection was on point, the music was a perfect mix of rap, R&B and pop and the seating was good as well. I will certainly do something like this again when we are visiting Dallas!

When staying at The Highland across the street, we'll sneak over here after Knife closes. This is such a chill and approachable spot for a night cap. Service is lovely and the bartender is always really cool. Apparently they have cocktail classes too.. so one of these days we'll have to try that!

The people's last stand 7:30 class June 2023 We had a class of like maybe 10-12 people. Setup: Online you choose a time slot and book with your credit card. Nothing is charged until after the class is completed, and they bring you a check. Once there: Come in, and check in. Have your name marked off. They'll instruct you to sit at the bar or the sofa area until they're ready for class to begin. Class didn't start until maybe 10-15 min after the scheduled time, which allowed others to come in. -each customer gets a glass of water and glass of champagne. -the instructor introduces themselves and passes the mic around for introductions. Name, age, favorite drink, one unique fact. -instructor then goes over the items in front of you and introduces the first drink. Pros: a different experience, other than going out to eat Friendly staff. I would recommend. Champagne included before you start Learn how to make 2 drinks, and they explain what everything is, from the ingredients of the cocktail down to the tools used to make it, and their origins. Parking garage available. I am not sure if it's free or validated, because I lucked up on a parking spot right outside of the venue. They give you a break after making the first drink so you can go out on the patio so they can clean. Cons: The speaker system is not the best. Opt to sit next to the presenter so you can hear. We were at the back near the door, and it was very hard to hear. Also? There was a separate party seated in the couch area behind the presenter. It was extremely hard to make out what the presenter was saying. I thought that they would tell them to be quiet, but that never happened. This was a MAJOR con for me, as I missed a good piece of the instruction. When the instructor used the mic, it was muffled and mixed with a bit of an echo. When he didn't, it was better, but the people behind him laughing and being loud interrupted that. After our break, the party behind the presenter left, and the experience was much better. If you're a germaphobe -- this is a shared ingredient class. You will be sharing the spirits and other ingredients to make the drink with others around you. Ice is shared, garnishes, etc. no Tongs we're given for the lime wedges. You just dig your fingers in and get them. $50 was a little steep to not FULLY enjoy the experience. Not hearing the instructor really killed it for me. I'm glad that I was able to at least enjoy part 2 of the class. Upgrades beyond what could be fixed in the aforementioned details: 1) consider updating the class calendars with the drinks that'll be made during that scheduled time slot. I saw another review state they made a mule during their class. I would be terribly upset making that, as I don't drink them. 2) Consider making the booking experience more customizable with a bio of your bartender/ instructor. (Similar to how painting with a twist does) 3) Have patrons wash their hands before being seated. Also, have them wash their hands before drink 2. Or have hand sanitizer available. 4) One instructor at the front end and one at the back so that all students can hear/ learn. Or a smaller speaker near the end of the table. All in all, I plan to return with other friends. 3.5/5 experience. I just didn't want to put it at a 3!!!!

Absolutely loved this bar. We went for a cocktail making class that was so fun and engaging, and we learned a lot! The ambiance is classic with tables and couches. The bartenders were incredible. We stayed after the class and had the bartender make us a tailored drink to what we liked. Both delicious, and we'll be back!

S U M M A R Y A great bar in Dallas. Such a chill vibe. I love it here and a lot of people do too. T A S T E For my birthday, I did a private cocktail making class with my closest friends. It was really fun and we all enjoyed it. Prior to the class, you fill out a brief survey and mention what kind of flavors and alcohol you want. So when you come to the class they have that particular combination for you. We started out the class with a champagne drink. And then we proceeded to make our cocktails. The bartender really taught us a lot about how to make drinks and how to measure, shake, add garnishments etc. We were able to play whatever kind of music we wanted and the bartender was super cool. We laughed a lot and danced and just had a really good time. I'm pretty sure we had more than those three drinks because we were all tipsy by the end of it. I mentioned that I liked tequila and citrusy drinks. But I wish they would've asked more questions. Because both of the drinks that were to be made were sweet and I hate sweet drinks. Also, the main mixer was watermelon juice and I abhor watermelon. So that kind of sucked. For reference, my favorite drink is a Mojito. I like Paloma's too. Citrusy and bright but not too sweet. S E R V I C E Service was great! Super nice and accommodating. A M B I E N C E Super cool vibes. You walk in here and you don't even remember that you're in Mockingbird Station. It's dim, quiet, relaxing. There's couches, a bar, games and books. It is just a VIBE. P R I C E 50$/pp for cocktail class R A T I N G 1 star off because they didn't ask what kind of fruits I liked. And that really ruin the drinks that I made for me.

This place is AWESOME. The drinks are delicious and ~artsy~, and the bartenders are chill and quick to serve you. Also, if you happen to be there on a night where they do the cocktail making classes (or if you get the chance to do one) it is a BLAST - music is great and it feels like a party in there. 10/10 recommend if you're in the Mockingbird area!

We went here for a cocktail class and let me just say... WE HAD A TIME! We arrived a little early so we ordered drinks at the bar and mingled. The bartender was nice enough to let us know that one of the drinks we were thinking of ordering was actually one we were going to make for the class. The drinks from the bar were really good. The cocktail class was super fun. We were impressed by the instructors, tips provided, and the pretty drinks we made. The DJ was good until and we wound up staying for about 4-5 hours just enjoying the vibes and mingling with people. The cocktail class was really organized and we loved that it is set up to make a drink, socialize & enjoy the drink before diving into making another one with all new equipment. We were visiting from out of town and this was perfect for a good time. The staff was fun and the place was cute. Would definitely go again when I return.

I would highly recommend this fun activity for any occasion (girls night, date night, or a b day celebration). During this experience, we made two cocktails. We were given a glass of champagne to set the atmosphere. The only alcohol options for the cocktails we prepared were Vodka and Tequila. Our teacher did a great job of explaining the materials used to make the cocktails. He also did a great job of leading a large class. In between making each cocktail, there is a brief intermission to mix and mingle while the staff prepare the work stations for the next drink. This process took a while and it could benefit from a smoother transition. I thoroughly enjoyed the Tequila based drink which was a delicious margarita. The only missing aspect of experience is an improved and updated playlist. The price of the class was $50 which I thought was reasonable. I would most definitely sign up for the class again with the hopes of making a different drink.

My fiancé and I did a cocktail class here and it was so fun!! The instructor was great and our drinks came out super cute. Will definitely be doing this again.

I did a cocktail making class here with my boyfriend for a date night and it was so much fun! We got to make 2 cocktails for the price it was a great deal. Plus we got a champagne toast at the beginning. I wish the instructions were a little slower but other than that, great vibes. It is a huge table of a lot of people so if you're looking for something more intimate, it's not that.

My husband and I and our two cousins took a cocktail class here because we thought it would be a fun double date and it was really underwhelming. We made one drink that was just a bigger version of a green tea shot and the other one was a basic mule. We were both disappointed. We ordered a drink before the class and it was okay, but not what we were expecting for a specialty cocktail bar.

Really enjoyed myself at The People's Last Stand. Came in a group of 10 to celebrate a friends birthday. It's a trendy, dive style like bar. The dj was amazing and so we're the drinks. Customer service was average. They do not offer food but often times have a caterer on site (the menu is dependent on what they're serving). Will definitely return.

Little bit of food they offer was excellent. Mixologist knew her stuff and made phenomenal drinks. We won't return because it was apparent from the somewhat cordial but not friendly service that we were not welcome. I have worked almost every aspect of front of house: busser, hostess, server, bartender and manager. I try and understand why a server would seem disinterested, slow, not completely competent or any one of a number of things one can experience as a patron of service. The level of disinterest we experienced from the bartender was bordering on snubbing, so we won't return. It was just clear that this super small establishment is used to a closely knit clientele of which we were not members.

I visited this bar last night and the drinks did not disappoint. I had 3 Evil Queens and they were refreshing, delicious and easy to drink. I sat at the bar and the service was quick, kept the water filled. My only complaint is they were hosting a cocktail class, which was really cool, but the music was really loud so I felt like I was yelling to talk to the person next to me. On the other hand, they had really good music playing, it was just a little loud for me. I'll keep this place in mind when looking for a chill evening with good drinks.

Took the cocktail class today and it was a lot of fun! Lots of laughter and good drinks. It's nice they have small eats like their charcuterie board! We ordered that to snack on and it definitely helped with breaking up the drinks. Prices are good too, was pretty impressed. It's pretty small inside but the seats are pretty comfy. Loved the vibe of being able to sit and have a drink and hear music without a lot of commotion. Everyone was super helpful and nice. Great explanations of how to use the tools and what to do without making you feel silly. I'd definitely go back!!

A great atmosphere to vibe and hang out with some good music playing. It's the ideal place to spend time with friends or for a chill date night. The building is spacious, with low-lighting. The noise level is appropriate. You don't have to feel like you're yelling, which is a big plus. And, if you enjoy poetry, they have select days where you can hear artists passionate words. Also, there is a happy hour daily until 7pm! The cocktails are made to perfection.

The new drink menu is amazing!!! Follow them on IG to see some of the new creations @peoplesdallas I had the Milk & Honey and it was perfection! Don't be afraid to let them create something special for you. You wanna learn how to make your favorite cocktail yourself?? They have private cocktail classes!!!!

We dropped in for happy hour. This was a very welcoming place with great cocktails. Not a beer joint. They also provide mixology classes.

We signed up for the cocktail making class not knowing what to expect but it was awesome! Our bartender/teacher was fun, cool, laid back and made the experience incredible! I highly recommend the cocktail classes for a great date night!

We booked the cocktail class. It was amazing. Devin was great. Learned so much from him. He also did an old fashioned demo for us in between the cocktails. Afterwards we got more drinks from their cocktail menu. Everything was worth it. Great drinks and ambiance. The staff was super friendly.

Attended the cocktail making class with 5 of my girlfriends on Thursday. It was an awesome experience from start to finish. The bartenders were friendly and informative. When you first arrive you are greeted with Champagne while they set up for the class. We sat at a table outside while they set up inside. Once inside we were ready to go. There was a DJ which was an especially nice touch. the DJ was great. He played a mixture of music. He interacted with guest and made it a much more fun event. I can't wait to go back with buy husband. There is no food available here but they do serve charcuterie boards which paired perfectly with the drinks we made and consumed. I can't wait to visit Dallas again so that I can treat my husband to this class.

Had the most amazing time here last night!!! On a Saturday at midnight it wasn't overly busy and we sat down immediately and ordered drinks at the bar. Pictured are the Rico Suave and Moon Knight, an award-winning original cocktail (both highly recommended!). The highlight of the night were the bartenders, Colin and Kat, and the awesome DJ Fiyah-J. It was my 21st birthday and they were so friendly and inviting. They played songs specifically for me and made me a custom drink! I can't wait to return in the future. Come for the drinks and stay for the unparalleled service from staff!! They made my night unforgettable :)

Thoroughly enjoyed a Cocktail Class at Peoples. Started with a Champagne toast followed by 2 signature cocktails - Pineapple Purple Sky (vodka) & Sec on the Border (tequila). Recommend!!

Booked a cocktail class 2 months in advance for my moms 60th birthday. Received a confirmation that day. Called, emailed and even slid in their dms on Instagram to confirm closer to the event and had ZERO contact. THEN they call me A DAY BEFORE to tell me that they don't have room due to another party. They offered a 2pm class in place of the 7pm we had booked... an awful attempt to keep our business. It's a surprise party with a dinner and now I'm left scrambling the day before to find another option. So poorly handled. Incredibly unprofessional. And one of the worst customer experiences I've ever had.

Had a great time at the mixology class here! Started with a champagne toast. Then, we got a full rundown of different techniques you use to make cocktails. The recipes were delicious. I strongly suggest this for a cool date night or pregame with friends.

This was our 2nd stop for Sunday Funday from 3-8! Great vibe with a DJ! It is a bring your own food establishment but our order choice from in-house was perfect!

Terrific cocktails! Enjoyed the Trivia game at 8pm. Lovely comfy place. Great view! Will be baaaaaaack!!

Booked a mixology class back in September, and it exceeded my expectations! Our instructor Devin was super cool and was really informative on everything, whether it's techniques, liquors, etc. The class is really great for any event that you're thinking of getting and the cocktails were delicious!

I visited for happy hour on a friend date. I ordered 2 of the smashin' passions. I was looking for a drink with bourbon or whiskey. This one gave me exactly what I was looking for. We also shared the truffle fries and the flatbread flight. Fries are my weakness. The truffle fries were amazing! So many layers of flavor. The flatbreads were equally great. There were 3 different types including a seasonal flavor. The place wasn't too packed. The bartender was attentive and helpful in answering our questions. We noticed a couple getting drink making tips nearby and realized that they offer classes. That's a great idea for a date! Note to self. Great service, great food! I will definitely be back soon!

Extremely disappointed in the service here. We came with a group and after waiting 20 minutes for a drink, I asked the bartender if I could order. He said " I don't have to serve you!" I was not rude or had I behaved in any way to understand why he would say that. Needless to say, we all decided to leave and have no intention of returning. Don't waste your time. Dallas has too many good options to be treated badly.

Definitely come check this place out on a Sunday afternoon! They have a rockin DJ, incredible food and tasty beverages. They have a few tables and chairs outside as well if the weather is good so you can kick It on the patio. The space itself is not huge but it Is a great spot just to bring a few friends to kick it. I wasn't sure what to expect honestly because usually I walk right by thinking that there's not much to this place. But I was pleasantly surprised. Some friends and I went and ended up staying for hours just grooving to some jams. We ended up ordering food towards the end of the night which was delicious! Their flatbreads are wonderful and perfect to share. I would absolutely go back here if I was in the area especially on a Sunday funday!

Very Nice Chill Place. Went with my friends it's nice We Love the Drinks and Music. You can Order food from the next Restaurant and Bring it in. Nice Staffs

The only negative is the paltry beer selection. Everything else is wonderful. We had the Pasadena Flatbread, the fried Avocados, and the Mac and Ceese. All were utterly delicious. Also great service and atmosphere. Highly recommended.

These guys are always worth the trip. Drinks are delicious. My fave is French 75. Love to watch the mixologist doing their thing.

This is the best bar in town. Colin is an amazing bartender, he's very hands on and attentive. Every time we come we make sure he is working. We come here all the time!

Fantastic drinks, people, and atmosphere. This place is great! The bar tenders are thoughtful and sweet. They definitely know how to make a mean cocktail.

I had the chance to come here for a surprise bday party last week. Though the concept of this establishment is quite unique I would have much rather preferred to go elsewhere. Upon arrival at the venue it was incredibly hot inside the building and one of the employees informed us that their AC had been out for 6 ENTIRE WEEKS, which is pretty insane while living in Texas and having to function in triple digit weather. There were multiple times when I was very hot, drenched in sweat, and even felt lightheaded while at this establishment. Because I was there for a party I did not want to make an issue at the time due to there being other individuals there attempting to still enjoy themselves, but even they expressed their discomfort and confusion in having to sit indoors with zero AC while it being well over 100 degrees outside!! After the class one of our group members called the establishment to discuss being displeased with how hot it was with the manager, JACOB, and his reaction definitely made me wish we never spent our hard earned dollars there. Not only was he incredibly dismissive when concerns were expressed regarding the intense heat indoors, Jacob had the audacity to say we didn't complain at the time and didn't even have the decency to apologize for our discomfort, and still took all our money. Glad to know there are still people like Jacob in this world. He doesn't deserve anyone's business and hopefully one day he'll see this as being an issue and it's pretty horrid of him to act that way towards paying customers. Hopefully the money we spent is used towards replacing the AC he's refused to fix for 6 WEEKS! What a horrible business owner.

Finally got to try the Philly cheesesteak! It was amazing! Decent sized portion and very flavorful. The fries were delicious too. I also had an old fashioned and Moscow mule that were both excellently crafted. The service was great and bartenders were very nice and excellent conversationalists. I highly recommend!

This place feels special. We celebrated my birthday with their cocktail-making class. It was outstanding, thanks to our teacher, Jon. He knew everything about alcohol and natural ingredients, but was also down to earth. He made our night feel so special without being pretentious. The bar had a really nice vibe, nice mix of people, and I loved the art work showcasing world leaders. REALLY like this place.

Booked the mixology class for Saturday afternoon with 6 people! Devin was our mixologist and he was very easy going and fun to work with! Loved the drinks we learned how to make! And the appetizers afterwards were delicious. Would def do the class again, such a good value! We had an awesome time!

Attended the graphic T-shirt party and had a blast. The DJ was amazing and the servers were very attentive.

Love this place!! It's delish the drinks are beautiful and the appetizers are delicate and light yet filling! I need to meet people here!! I don't want to lose this place .... I don't love the location but it is very central!

I wanted to like this place. Excellent location. The front patio is super small. They were also out of two appetizers I tried to order. Drink was just okay. Server didn't check on us enough.

Wonderful and interesting cocktails you will not find anywhere else. So glad they survived the pandemic

Love this place! Super busy on Sunday nights. Lots of cocktails to choose from and i love the fact that they're located on the second floor and have a patio outside....so it's almost like a rooftop bar! oh and there's plenty of free parking as well (open or garage)! Old fashioned is my usual go-to cocktail but I found a new favorite tonight - Bay of Pigs! It has an amazing wood scent to it and it goes down smooth! Perfect for a night cap! Definitely come and check this place out for amazing cocktails if you're in the Mockingbird Lane and 75 area!

I only had drinks here, but I thoroughly enjoyed the drinks, ambiance and customer service. These folks can make some drinks! Their focus is clearly on quality cocktails and they do, indeed deliver. I had the jalapeño tequila drink as well as the bartenders choice, which is a surprise made by the bartender. I can't wait to go back. I could see myself visiting here to unwind.
