50 Best Cocktail Bars near Farmers Branch

“Love the vibe of this place! Service was friendly, attentive, and super focused on detail which we all appreciated as a big group. We had a huge assortment of food from their menu but the stand outs were the Fried Chicken (share with the folks at your table), Fried Squash Blossoms ( SO FREAKING GOOD), Southern Sweet Tea! They do rotate out some of their items so know when you are looking at welp what you see may no longer be available. Also make sure to make a reservation! This place on the weekend gets packed and full of reservations and can't take walk ins.“

“My wife and I had a great dinner tonight for her birthday. The waitstaff was very attentive. My wife was able to order Rum Punch for her birthday and reminded us of vacations that we had taken when we got that drink. The food was great! I noticed that compared to other Brazilian steakhouses it seemed like the meat contained more juice and tenderness. We especially appreciated the service of Maria! She was always available and checking on us. She helped make our dining experience even more enjoyable. We look forward to visiting again soon!Parking: Plenty of places to park for free.“

“The new space is very modern and clean! Lots of TVs and great happy hour specials. Sat at the bar and had their grilled burger sliders, which were tasty (2 come w/HH special). My fiancé had the tuna poke stack and she said it was “superb” and would order again. Our bartender Sabrina was super nice and makes an excellent espresso martini!“

“Been here handful of times and its consistently good service, quick, and food is always great. Parking is a vut if an issue tho, but not their fault, so i won't knock them for it. Just plan ahead.Parking: Lot is always full so plan ahead if you don't want to do valet parking“

“The photos speak for themselves. The food is SO good, service is incredible and they have great conversations with you too. Highly recommend getting a reservation as this place gets packed. We’ve gone back twice already and want to go back again!“

“I visited here entirely based on the recommendation of the guide on my Dallas tour earlier in the day. He (Isaac) also facilitates a food tour as well and has a love for trying different locations, and has been in Dallas much of his life, so I easily accepted the suggestion . . . and glad I did. I wanted to visit a location that offers top-quality craft bar options (and I did add "no matter the price"). The pricing here was VERY reasonable, and the service at the bar was friendly and attentive, and the drinks were, well, Fantastic. I enjoyed my visit and would readily return myself if I lived in Dallas, but I was only visiting for the Eclipse weekend. It is a location I can very easily recommend to others. Go! Enjoy! I certainly did.“

“ASK FOR CARLOS HE IS THE GOAT. HE IS THE MAN. love this place. so hard to choose because EVERYTHING on both the food and drink menu looks good. atmosphere is great, nice outdoor area on first floor and rooftop opens later. you will not regret it.“

“This place is fantastic! I've been a number of times & the service is always friendly & efficient. Food tried has included the Veggie Omelet, California Benedict (could use a bit more crumbled bacon), Bagel & Lox, Cinnamon Roll French Toast, & Turkey Avocado Wrap. All delicious! Pancakes & waffles come with drizzled cream cheese icing. Wasn't sure about this, but was So good! Servings are very generous. Definitely going back again!“

“The best matcha latte I’ve had in a while. Smooth easy and just a great way to start the day. The breakfast tacos are solid too. I’ve been coming here since the day the opened so I have seen the evolution of the place. Overall consistent. Good. Staff is always working hard to keep up with the popularity as it grows. Haven’t had a whiskey yet. That’s on the list next time.“

“My friends and I always have a ball here! The music is always really cute(oontz oontz), the expresso martinis are to die for, the door guy is sweet AND they have a pool table! <3 I promise this isn’t paid or fake review either, I just have to give DD’s their flowers.“

“The Parlor is absolutely one of the best cocktail bars in Dallas. My crew regularly hangs out here when we're attending a convention at the Sheraton Dallas. The two bartenders, Bryce and Adam are incredible. In addition to being able to craft most anything you call, if you give them a spirit type and a flavor profile, they can create a riff for you on the spot. I'm also a pretty big whiskey nerd, and this location has a pretty decent whiskey selection.Go here if you're staying at the Sheraton and it's open. You won't be disappointed.“

“Hidden gem. Didn't get any food so can't speak on that. Service great. Had a special menu and you could tell the bartenders took pride in their work. Great spot for a date night. Very intimate. Drinks were amazing. 10/10 experience. Pull up.“

“The pizza here is AMAZING! Honestly anything you get will be good. They did seem short staffed but our waiter was kind and the hostess as well. The vibes are awesome inside, they had like music and you could see the pizza oven, it was so cool.“

“Food is delicious here. The one thing that caused us inconvenience was the wait time. we waited for 50 minutes for the food. The waiter who helped us apologized and told us that they have a party catering going on. When the food finally arrived it was cold but tasted good. The quality of the food is good.“

“I had an absolutely delightful experience at Beverly's Bistro and Bar, thanks to our exceptional waiter, Tito. He went above and beyond to ensure we not only enjoyed our food but also felt truly cared for throughout our dining experience. Tito's attentiveness and kindness exemplified the epitome of outstanding customer service. Without a doubt, we'll be returning to Beverly's, eager to experience Tito's exceptional service once again.“

“Namo restaurant exceeded our expectations from the moment we stepped through the door. Speaking of the door, it was truly spectacular, setting the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. But the excellence didn't stop there.Our waiter, Jay, was nothing short of incredible. He not only took care of our every need but also went above and beyond in explaining the menu, ensuring we made the most out of our dining choices. His knowledge and passion for the cuisine truly enhanced our meal.From start to finish, every aspect of our visit was flawless, leaving us eagerly anticipating our next visit. Namo has undoubtedly earned a spot on our list of favorite dining spots, and we can't wait to return for another amazing time!“

“Delicious Italian Food served while you are surrounded by photos of Italian families and decor. I love the fresh bread served with my meal- it's great dipped into the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and cracked pepper provided on the table but why is there no salt?“

“This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been too. To say a place like this is rare is a severe understatement. You can tell every recipe is carefully prepared, even the sides like the rice and beans. It's beautiful to see someone living their dream passionately and you can tell that's what is going on here at Miriam's.We were only in Dallas for a few days for the Eclipse, but we came back to eat another night before leaving. We couldn't bring ourselves to try another restaurant because, how often would we have the opportunity to eat this good?On top of all that, the prices are reasonable, the staff is great, and free valet... I'm completely baffled how this place is sitting at only 4.6 stars, it deserves better.Highly recommend the; guacamole, mahi mahi tacos, short rib tacos, nueva moda margarita, and the passion fruit mezcalita (if you like mezcal).Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian and vegan offerings, but not a massive amount to choose from.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free options, but not guaranteed free of cross-contamination.Parking: When your heading toward the restaurant the parking garage is just before it on the right, you can get validated in the restaurant for the free valet.“

“The restaurant is very beautiful. Very pleasing to the eye. My friend and I went during happy hour and we both got the Classic cheeseburger with fries. $8 for a 1/4 wagyu beef burger is well worth it as it was absolutely delicious. I also had the margarita and it was also delicious. Highly recommended coming here during happy hour as it's reasonably-priced and filling.“

“The couple who was working was so friendly and had great recommendations for things to do/see and other places to eat in the area. We ordered the wings, garlic buffalo & buffacue, which were some of the best we have ever had and the dill pickle fries, which sound odd, but were 10/10. We had some great local beers as well! A great hidden gem, don't sleep on them!“

“Spent a couple hours here waiting for our flight. The trout with crab meat was excellent, fries were very good, but the shrimp cocktail was extremely mediocre. The shrimp was over boiled, chewy, and had clearly been boiled in water that was waaaay too salty. But: drinks were good, service was pleasant. They did have chargers at our booth, which is always appreciated.“

“Was in the Greenville area and remembered from a TikTok video and IG post of a take out margarita spot and just happened to be in the same parking lot.. lucky me! I wasn’t fully into the store before I was greeted with a very friendly welcome. Thats a huge plus for customer service because i was also asked if It was my 1st time which it was so time was taken to let me know what would fit my taste and it most definitely did! Shouts out to Brandon, because this margarita SLAPS!! I went with a small and 1 extra shot this time but next time ima take the training wheels off ? So taste.. value.. location and again customer service.. Mr Margaritas should be your to go place if you’re in the Greenville.. North/Lake Dallas.. Uptown/Midtown and surrounding areas!“

“I LOVE going to Snooze anytime I am near one. Food is always great. Staff is always so friendly and helpful, and of course, great bar selections. This is a great place if you are like me and need a place that can adapt the food menu to accommodate your food allergies. They also have great vegetarian option. This trip, we tried the PROTEIN & VEGGIE EGG WHITE SCRAMBLE. I had the chicken sausage, and my hubby had his scrambled with Soy Chorizo. This was so delicious and loved the aparagus being a veggie option for this dish. The house salsa that comes with this was the right amount of spicy with a hunt of sweetness. If you have e never tried their Bacon But Different, make sure to add on a side of that to your order. Your taste buds will thank you later. If you love blackberries, then you should definitely have a Boozy Blackberry Mint Limeade with your breakfast. Overall breakfast here is a 10 out 10.Vegetarian options: They have tofu and soy Chorizo and meat options and several vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: The online menu gives you the option to select your allergens and, based on that, offers you the menu items that can be tailored to your allergies.“

“I can’t really speak to the food, because I didn’t go there for that. BUT they do have some very unique drinks. Or to be technical “craft cocktails” they were pretty decent and service was smooth. Now for the atmosphere!!Let me tell you, I went on a Sunday after coming from brunch and was lowkey thinking the whole time “why tf are we going here?!” BUT when we got out to the back patio it was LIT and full of dope vibes. They had a Dj and a drummer that was just sending the vibes up!The service staff was still attentive given the massive crowd and even came to check in on us, which I appreciated. Idk if it’s always vibing like that, but I’m going to assume it’s for Sunday Funday.“

“Wife and i did the tasting and tour this past weekend and had a incredible experience, the owners and bartender are all very welcoming, knowledgeable and can tell they really enjoy what they do and sharing their passion with others, great tasting spirits and even better atmosphere, definitely going to have to come back with my dad and have him experience it“

“Wow wow wow, I love this place! Loro boasts a fusion of BBQ and Asian flavors... let's just say your taste buds will not be disappointed. I suggest visiting when the weather is nice and you can sit outside. They have a cute outdoor area with picnic style benches - it's the perfect place to enjoy one of their Yuzu slushies. And ordering is super easy... either at the counter or at your table. Every time I've been, the staff has been incredibly nice, down-to-earth and helpful with recommendations. Here is what I've tried and my ratings: - Pork tostada (7.5/10) - Smoked beef brisket (8/10) - Chicken wings (9/10) - Cold peanut noodle salad (10/10) - Bavette (10/10) - Crispy smoked chicken sandwich (10/10) - Yuzu slushy (10/10) I will say, this place doesn't skimp on the SPICE! I loved it but was so thankful to have cool drinks to wash it down. A side of their coconut rice would have been a good idea to order... will do that next time because I know I'll be back!! :)“

“Always consistent, always great and your own corner pub. Huge rotational selection of beers, sours and ciders. Had the fried mushrooms and a flash back to the 80s of the best appetizer ever. Shared the mini chicken Avocado burgers and fries with my hubby. The grilled chicken was perfect and flavorful. Each burger had the right combo of Avocado and condiments. The skinny fries were crisp, golden deliciousness. The staff is efficient and friendly. I could spend all afternoon at the bar here. It's that comfortable.“

“I celebrated my birthday here after a quick visit to Dallas for the eclipse. The service was wonderful and the food was amazing. We started off with a few items off the happy hour menu and then finished off with a couple of dishes from the main menu. The stars were definitely the scallop, the pork jowl, and the hama chili. The desserts were also lovely. We had the cheesecake and the trio of sorbets. Everything was absolutely delicious. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in town!“

“Food and service was excellent. Popped into this spot having no idea. Exceeded expectations. This was the best and freshest sushi I've had in Dallas. I haven't had sushi this delicious since visiting Japan. Yes, it is not the least expensive spot, but you are paying for quality. So just know it's a pricey dinner before going to manage expectations.“

“FOOD - Truffle Salmon - The salmon was fresh and torched. There were wasabi sprouts on top and drizzled with both hot sesame oil and truffle ponzu sauce. The dish looks amazing and also tastes so good. The sauce had this zesty flavor that went super well with the char/flamed taste. - Itchy Salmon - Also super good with charred flavor. The dish is spicy crab meat topped with salmon, cilantro, pepper, and sauce. The spicy crab mix is so creamy and it melts in your mouth. - Godzilla Bomb Roll - Tempura Blue Kani, Bigeye tuna, and yellowtail with also pepper and togarashi. The roll was crunchy on the bottom and very spicy on the top. It was also super creamy and yummy. On a side note, the ginger is a lot fresher. It's not as marinated as other places but that gives it a fresh essence. They also have thicker cuts of ginger. Overall, the fish and ingredients are all super high quality with great flavor. On the more expensive side but you are definitely getting your money's worth. VIBES The vibe is more upscale casual. There were a lot of couples there. My friend and I came at around 3:50 PM and it was not that crowded. They have two sides of seating, bar seating, and also patio seating. Decorations were so pretty with a bunch of lanterns and more modernized traditional Japanese look. The chopsticks were also really nice. SERVICE Service was great! The guy gave us amazing recommendations, was patient with us and checked on us a lot.“

“Nelson's was welcomed surprise...Delicious. The 12 oz rib eye cooked medium rare could be cut with a fork. The trout filet was huge and cooked just right. Sides were potatoes and tender fresh asparagus. We ordered vodka tonic with a healthy pour of Tito's. We will definitely come back when visiting Plano.Wheelchair accessibility: Open floor plan“

“This place is so good! What a fun brunch menu. I had a delicious veggie omelet and the homemade sausage was really good as well. I especially liked the excellent service as well. Symphony was my server and she was awesome. She even let me try the beignets for my first visit which were WOW! I can't wait to return and bring my husband. The place was busy even at noon giving off the vibe that others love it as much as I do. I want to try a "spiked coffee" for a treat on my next visit.“

“Everything was so perfect! I spent my night here to celebrate my birthday. The food is deliciously fresh, the chef was so nice and made me a special sake drink for my birthday which i love so much. What a great experience and worth the price.“

“We were a party of eight and the entrees ranged from wonderful (the salmon) to just ok (the chicken fried steak). The drinks were lovely; the service was solid; the music was nice. However, we'd have to say that Maribel (the hostess) was absolutely wonderful - funny, engaging, accommodating. She was the ideal person to have someone greeting guests and is enough of a reason to come back. Great service is a differentiator.“

“I posted about Bowen House and St. Martin's in the past, but we had another great experience I wanted to share with you. I had a business meeting at Bowen House and followed it up with dinner at St. Martin's last night. "It's rare you find restaurants/bars in your neighborhood that make you feel like you're at home because of the exceptional service." That was a direct quote from my friend who lives in the Dallas suburbs. Owner Pasha Heidari and his family makes sure you feel special from the moment you walk in. They're constantly greeting and chatting with patrons to ensure everyone feels like an important part of their family. You can catch Pasha in action in one of the photos. He's the don of the East Dallas restaurant scene. The staff also is trained to go above and beyond. Trenton, our bartender, overheard our conversation about different liqueurs and had us try something we never heard of called Amer Fleur de Joie. It's a delicious French Apertif that is basically a drinkable bitters. Amer means bitter in French but it is smooth and delicious. We were then offered a taste of Gran Patron because we were admiring the beautiful bottle on the top shelf. I'm not a big tequila lover but it was very smooth and delicious as a sipping spirit. The two delicious Bowen House whiskey cocktails seen in the photo are C. Montgomery Burns and There's Something About Mary. I highly recommend both if you enjoy whiskey. Here's to the amazing owners of some the best restaurants and bars we have in Dallas. Thank you and keep making us feel like royalty. Salute C. Montgomery Burns Scotch Sweet vermouth Espresso liqueur Braulio Amaro Chicory Pecan bitters (El Guapo) Woodford Reserve Sorghum & Sassafras bitters There's Something About Mary Whiskey Gran Classico Bitter Apertif Averna Amaretto Woodford Reserve Spiced Cherry bitters Saline“

“Always a fantastic experience when we are here. Came in for brunch/lunch on a Sunday and it was not overly crowded, which it should be busier then it is, and enjoyed a great lunch with my wife. Breezy behind the bar is attentive and thoughtful.“

“i am against superlatives. But here goes. The new chef has no ego. He has brought back the famous Dean Fearing tortilla soup. The crab cakes - maybe 2% bread. They were excellent, as was the tortilla soup. My duck? Just right. My wife's fish - also right. Desserts - crème brûlée and chocolate sheet cake. Flawless. The chef's surprise? Small tacos Crème fraiche, asparagus and avocado. Very good. The champagne - flat and immediately corrected. Thank you. The one thing we do not like? Too much noise from the . kitchen area from clanging silverware Chef Charles visited the table. A very humble man. He does the Mansion well. . Thanks.“

“This place is awesome. Above all the whiskey is excellent and there's something to please all palates. Their food is top not-so delicious. The atmosphere is comfy, not pretentious and stylish. We went on a sleepy Tuesday afternoon. Noticed a lovely outdoor "garden" that we'll have to come back to after the storm season passes. Gift shop makes it easy to remember all your friends ?“

“I absolutely loved Georgie restaurant! It is exceptionally good, and Chef RJ, who hails from the French Laundry, brings his culinary expertise to every dish. If you have the chance to dine there, I highly recommend ordering the French onion soup, the gorgeous scallops ( almost too pretty to eat), the trout, tuna tartare, agnolotti and bread yes the bread is INSANE.The ambience at Georgie is super sexy, with beautiful people and a super chic atmosphere. They are really pushing the boundaries and creating some incredible culinary experiences. I am thrilled that the chef has made the move to Dallas, as it brings a much-needed addition to the city's dining scene.Not only is the food outstanding, but the service at Georgie is top-notch as well.Oh, and if you happen to visit for brunch, make sure to order the chicken and waffles. It is next level. Trust me, you'll thank me later!Also, the restaurant is a HUGE supporter of local farms and artisans.“

“First walking in the staff is very nice and welcoming! We got seated right away! It was our first time here so they gave us plenty of time to figure out what we wanted. I have food allergies and they were more than happy to make accommodations for me! We were always checked on to make sure our table was good! Definitely 10/10 love this place and the atmosphere here! Would definitely reccomend!“

“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.“

“Had a ball during a family business brunch. Darrius provided the very best experience for our table. The food was well seasoned and the service was on point. Lots of variety and choices including a carving table and a omelet station. We will be back with clients and friends. Thank you Darrious for the mimosa suggestion. It was worth every penny!!!“

“Fantastic Monday happy hour. In town for work and this is a reliable, tasty option with very friendly staff. You can just order a few apps and be set, even if you’re feeling hungry. The ranch water is tasty if you’re craving something boozy, and the meatballs are stellar.“

“I went with a friend on NYE for the first time. We were looking for a fun atmosphere with great food and Fizz delivered 10/10! It’s got a colorful & eclectic posh-meets-pop retro vibe. The DJ was on point, service & food incredible, and Peter (who I believe is one of the owners) spent a few minutes chatting and made us feel very welcome. The entrance is tucked away inside the courtyard so just know its not visible from the parking lot.“

“Celebrated an anniversary tonight, first time dining at Nonna. Wally was our server and he never missed a beat, gave us the perfect recommendations, and really made our night. The food was superb so we left no crumbs. Every dish knocked it out of the park and the timing was seamless! Nonna is the definition of a well-running machine, can’t wait to come back.“

“Consistently good service and great food. I have been to this location numerous times and overall it is always an enjoyable visit. We started our meal with the calamari appetizer. Calamari is well cooked and the dips it is accompanied by complement the flavors well. For my meal I had the salmon entree with crawfish tails and shrimp. The sauce this entree comes with is the star of the dish. The salmon was cooked well, but the portion size seemed off and smaller than a normal entree at most locations. The green beans side is fairly bland, unless you mix with the sauce on the plate. Service was on point and I never had to wait for a drink. Great spot to grab a bite before a flight. Highly recommend!“

“I had my birthday dinner here and everything was exceptional from vibe, food, drink and service! Raulph was our waiter and he took care of us so well, and gave us good recommendations on food and drinks. We would come back for brunch next time since the brunch menu also looks really good!“

“Not gonna lie, this is one of my favorite fast casual spots in DFW. I've eaten just about the whole menu. My favorites are the chicken karaage, sesame noodles, pork ramen with brisket , Thai tortilla chips, and the corn fritters. The potatoes, ribs, and brisket are also pretty good. You'll love your experience just get there. The drinks are fantastic as well! They have something for whatever mood you're in! The service is so accommodating, place your order on your app, open a tab, and you're good to go!“

“If you're coming to deep element and want to do a pub/restaurant. Crawl, this is must on your list. And if you're a fan of chicken including wings or sandwiches you're gonna love this place. Great service. And I really enjoyed my chicken chimichauri sandwich.“

“This place is great! Saw it on Instagram took my wife on a date and it was awesome. The meat is high quality, really worth the price. We got the JOA option for 2 and it was versatile and fulfilling in the cuts of meat they serve. Definitely could feed a 3rd person. Our waitress was super nice however, our experience was not like other Korean BBQs. Im not sure if its because we ordered the JOA option, but we did not cook our own food our waitress did and she was very attentive especially with 4 other tables she was servicing at the same time. Definitely a nice date place or a group outing!“
