50 Best Bars in Dallas

“Finally checked out Namak Indian Cuisine and honestly had a really good experience. I tried a few different dishes so I could get a little bit of everything, and the flavors were on point. The curries were rich and well seasoned without being crazy spicy, and the naan came out hot, soft, and perfect for soaking up the sauce. We also tried some appetizers to share, and everything tasted fresh and packed with flavor. The portions were generous too, so nobody left hungry lol. The staff was super friendly and helped us figure out what to order when we couldn’t decide. The restaurant had a nice, relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to sit back and enjoy the meal. The food took a little time to come out, but honestly it was worth the wait. Prices felt fair for the quality and portion sizes. Definitely a solid spot if you’re craving Indian food in Dallas, and I’d definitely come back to try more dishes.“

“We walked in to pick up a to go order and were warmly greeted. The server was kind to share some of the restaurant history and asked for a review, which as business owners, we like to oblige and want to help other businesses. He threw in a mango lassi with our order, which was not expected and SO delicious. All of our food was AMAZING and enough to have for lunch the next day. We ordered garlic naan, Gobi 65, Malabar with beef and veggies, chicken and lamb biryani.“

“I loved this restaurant when I first ate here 28 years ago. I moved away but was in Dallas last night so I made a reservation and it was even more amazing than I remembered. The service was impeccable. Our waiter Charlie was amazing and recommended the best wine pairings but the food… ah the food…. Let’s just say if I ever have a “last meal” I would want it to be this. I got the champagne Brie soup, the Filet Rossini and flourless chocolate cake. Each bite was perfection. Seriously, one of the best meals of my life. Hope it doesn’t take another 28 years to return. Superb!“

“Visited for Restaurant Week and will be returning. Tomas was the best. Restaurant had a very nice moody vibe that was perfect for our date night. Every dish we had during our visit was delicious and made with intention. Some of the highlights were the lobster bisque and the pork chop. Honestly better than we even expected and plated perfectly. Tomas was very courteous and knowledgeable of everything that touched our table. Definitely will be coming back multiple times.“

“Date night good vibe in this place food was good excellent service……“

“them dranks know what they are doing .
I always order the 16oz Desserted Island (pina colada with White Russian) smooth, delicious, and does what it needs to.
extra shots cost $1. Which is a steal.
They offer food as well, amongst other things.
It goes hand in hand, trust that.“

“Had a great date lunch with my husband today at this Mi Cocina location. There was no wait and we were seated in a great booth. Jose, our waiter, was amazing and made sure our drinks were flowing and chips never empty. We will definitely be back for a date lunch away from our tiny human!“

“Date Night with a Hottie! Once again, we've travelled west to Oak Cliff. This time, paying our first visit to Tiny Victories OC. How cool is this place?!?! Cozy digs, in a... well "Tiny" space. We grabbed a couple seats at the bar and immediately took to people watching. This is definitely a neighborhood hotspot, and for good reason. Lots of laughter. Folks clearly having a good time. I could totally imagine a regular here, literally knowing EVERYBODY in the place. I ordered an Old Fashioned, and my beautiful bride, a Cabernet. Our tenders, Samantha and Maddie were attentive and quick to deliver. Not an easy task with so many folks around. Iamyu of House of Frequency Records was spinning the vinyl with righteous tunes that kept the toes tapping all night. So fun tonight, and now... we're off. But once again I must thank Abbe of The Luxury Gift Envelope for introducing us to another local gem. #tinyvictoriesoc #oakcliff #theluxurygiftenvelope“

“By FAR one of the best collections of Mezcal you’ll find North of the border. Excellent service, incredible food, and only steps from Fair Park and the Music Hall. Highly recommend this gem!!“

“Amazing renovation results and Parlor is the social gem of it all. Unlike every other hotel bar / lounge I’ve been in.. It’s a great place for locals ( not just out of town guests staying here ).“

“My wife and I had dinner here last night. Ever since, we have been bragging to all friends and family about it. The food was outstanding, a top 5 dinner of all time for both of us. Staff was awesome!“

“best place to reach euphoria“

“Our booking was in that quiet time between lunch and dinner but the ambiance was lovely, even if it was just the two of us dining. I am so happy about choosing this establishment and since my partner loves Mediterranean food and it was his birthday, it was perfect! Jason our server went above and beyond in giving us an experience and we will most definitely be going back to dine again. The food tasted amazing and the cocktails were very tasty! Shout again to Jason for making me a drink that wasn't on the menu the gimlet was amazing too.“

“The food and drinks were delicious!“

“Great team in particular my server, Maria. Food was top quality too 👍“

“A wonderful Indian buffet. Food was delicious and fresh. Perfect spicing. Curries were yummy. Soup was amazing. Loved the desserts. As a New Yorker and having tasted many Indian dishes, I recommend this restaurant . The owner Gil was charming. Since Covid many NYC restaurants no longer offer buffets. This was a real treat. 4 Minute walk from the Sonesta hotel.“

“great new neighborhood spot! Cocktails, mezcal, burgers, bites, whiskey, dames, dudes... its what this part of town needed“

“Awesome dive bar and great bartenders!“

“We loved it everyone loved everyone“

“I feel good at that Restaurant“

“It's a typical neighborhood bar where all the locals go. Good vibes but as local dive bars do, their parking lot can get jammed packed. The staff was helpful and the locals were cool enough.
Warning: Don't take you're a hot head bf.“

“The Peace Treaty blend is insanely amazing. so much flavor and so smooth. Definitely recommend anyone wanting a smooth flavor to try it, has to be the smoothest flavor coffee I have ever had“

“My entire family, dog included, had a great time here! We enjoyed swinging at the swing table, eating from the Wok truck and enjoying some drinks! The atmosphere was very enjoyable, we 100% recommend!“

“My 1st time last night for my co-workers 🎂 birthday party was awesome the whole staff was friendly especially the bartender , dj and the owner . I had a great time and the food and drinks was awesome too. Dj R& B that's what I call him he played some of the best music 🎶 you can think of and doesn't mind you requesting a song either everything was great I'll be back soon..“

“Great place great environment“

“la atención de la bartender Rebecca es de lo mejor, es una chica muy paciente con los clientes y esta pendiente que no te falte bebida, es super amable REBECCA MAMASITA“

“Always great service and food arrives quickly!“

“Hubby and I went to their Valentines Brunch Saturday and Calin was our waiter. His first question to us was did we have any allergies. We was honestly blown away because NO OTHER waiter asked us that question ANYWHERE! Yes I do have food allergies and I told him so. From beginning to the end of our visit he was PHENOMENAL!! We told his Manager so. There is so much negativity going on, we were very pleased to give some positivity! ?“

“I can’t say enough good things about this spot. Whenever I’m thru Dallas, I make it a point to visit. Great people, great music great drinks…papa John’s. ;) Miss yall! xx“

“Unique and sexy vibes All the love All the time“

“Coupes hosted my 50th birthday cocktail hour and knocked it put of the park! Madeline was amazing to work with and made the event so easy, relaxing and fun. No surprise as she has over 15 years of event, hospitality, and wedding experience.“

“Small and dimly lit with cool are and mirrors around the room. Nice amount of seating, high tables and bench table & chairs along the wall. AMAZING cocktails! Can get loud very quickly with only small amount of people due to size. The music was good and at a good level for conversations.“

“Awesome cocktails, amazing service! The bartenders weee extremely attentive, friendly and quick! Restrooms were very clean as well, can’t wait to come back!!“

“Their mass selection of Blanco Tequilas 🍾“

“I was in town with friends for a weekend. We were in town from St Pete, Florida where we have 60-80+ Kava Bars. We found The Kava Bar - North Dallas & The Kava Bar - Oak Cliff. They both were a really good time, excellent product, really clean, super friendly staff, and cool customers. Hope to make it back soon!“

“♥️ the one and only Ivy. Wish i lived closer, this used to be my spot“

“Highly recommend you try the seared tuna, it's appropriately priced and large portions. Great value! Also, uhm, they do live music regularly. I believe they also have some gluten free options. If you're looking for some savory treats, cool drinks, and groovy tunes, I highly recommend you give this place a try. A great spot in the Oak Lawn Strip gayborhood!“

“My wife and I made reservations for brunch and really enjoyed our experience. Our server, Danny, was very personable, and did a great job throughout the meal. We started with the lobster bisque and the steak tartare, and both were excellent. For our entrées, I had the French dip, and my wife ordered the steak salad. She really enjoyed it, and after trying a few bites, I can definitely recommend it as well. For dessert, I had the restaurant's famous coconut cream pie, which I thought was very good. My wife enjoyed it even more than I did. She also ordered the crème brûlée, and it was delicious . One of our first dates nearly 20 years ago in Brooklyn included a memorable crème brûlée, so she almost always orders it when it's on the menu. Most don't quite measure up, but I think this one surpassed it. We both agreed it was one of the best we've had. Overall, it was a great brunch with excellent food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back, and we're looking forward to trying dinner next time.“

“Plomo never disappoints! Make it dirty! I drive through hella traffic for their quesadillas being just being out of delivery range… but it’s so worth it.“

“I absolutely am in love with this place! I came with my family for my birthday dinner and we had an amazing time. The service was excellent and the manager was very accommodating. They even let me bring in my cake and gave me an extra dessert! …and did I mention the view!? Spectacular!!! I love lobster and steak and it was the best I ever! Especially the lobster!Hats off to the chef and thank you again for being apart of my special day. I will definitely come back!!!“

“my husband and myself enjoyed and early dinner today at the Dallas location. We had the best waitress named LuLu. Her service was so fast and she was so attentive. I had the tortilla soup and the bowl was huge. It was fresh and perfectly seasoned. My husband had the fajita nachos and we shared some queso and tortillas of course and it was all fantastic. Can't forget about the frozen margaritas, they were the perfect compliment to our dinner. This location treats us wonderfully everytime we come.“

“Great service and delicious food!!“

“Stopped by to watch the Club World Cup final and had a great time. The atmosphere was lively, the crowd was fun, and it was a great place to enjoy the match. They have a good selection of food and drinks, and everything we tried was solid. The cocktails were a bit on the expensive side, although I’m not sure if that was because of the event. Overall, it’s a cool spot with a great vibe, and I’d definitely come back.“
