50 Best Bars near Highland Village

“Great service and friendly“

“They catered out "Marriage & Mimosa" Brunch send off on Sunday. It was all amazing. When we ran out of food, the delivered more and it was even better! lol! From the Bagels, eggs to the tater tot casseroles and wings. I would 100% use them again.“

“We ate here today and had a wonderful experience. They were accommodating with the table so we could see the Packers game, patient with our spirited young child, and the food was fantastic. Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. We’ll for sure be back often!“

“$5 per person to play is a great price, they have a huge selection of games! We just got some sodas so I can't really comment on the food. It does get a bit loud in the evening making it hard to talk/read instructions so I would recommend bringing earplugs to put in while reading.

Amending my review because I didn't realize there were cushy seating options for smaller groups, thank you for letting me know! :)“

“Spent a fun afternoon on the patio and enjoyed some amazing wines! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Our server, Ariel, was so helpful! We joined the wine club. Can’t wait to go back! 😄“

“Incredible queer bar in Denton that serves awesome drinks varied between lots of different beers, wines, THCA non-alcoholic options, caffiene, and sodas! I LOVE THE BEARDED MONK! They have amazing events, you should come to the The SlideShow every end-of-the-month, and there's often many community events happening here and parties every weekend with different cool themes. Lesbian/sapphic specific nights which are SO important, and they are trans-friendly and trans-inclusive at all events they run. Their bathrooms are genderless and there's an entire QUEER ART SHOW on the walls all throughout the rest of Spring - Summer 2026 til the end of Pride Month 2026 (June)! It's well worth a visit to this treasure of a community-space. <3 OH, and if you need a place to get into a third space mindset, bring your unfinished crafts for WIP Wednesdays and crafting nights!“

“Highly recommend Local Pint! So good! And the Best owners and staff!! Go support this awesome small business!“

“Absolutely loved this place! Rodger the owner was in and he introduced himself and he was very friendly. The bartender (not sure of her name; but she’s very sweet) This is definitely going to be my go to when I need to sneak away for an island feeling 🤩“

“Best bar in Little Elm“

“Great stage, great sound, great staff!“

“chill atmosphere on a Saturday night“

“great spot for good drinks and quality cigars.“

“Great experience love the sliding door arrangement for the dining“

“This place is crazy enough to even let an unknown starving artist with raw talent and some potential walk inside and well ... just jam with their musicians ... And they let me bring my one dog that is well behaved in public spaces every time they aren't busy!

“Bartender Kayla is excellent and the food was great!!“

“amazing food and would definitely go back“

“The hidden jewel in Lewisville! Established in 1988 and has been a staple for the community with a “cheers” atmosphere. Bar staff is top notch and attentive. From karaoke to poker (and other events mixed in), there’s something for everyone here. Daily drink specials to wet your whistle and one of the few places you can come in knowing nobody and end the night with at least a half dozen new friends. Patrons range from mid 20’s to 70’s and all are here to have a great time.“

“I stopped in this place a few weeks ago. It wasn't too packed, and I hung out at the bar for a while, watching some guys play pool. The crowd seemed to leave about 10:30 and it was pretty empty at that point. The bartender that night was Jadis, who was amazing and very good about answering questions about the leagues and pool tournaments held there. I ordered the pork chop, which was the best meal I had on my short trip as well. If you're in the area, stop by for the pork chop, and ask for Jadis!“

“cool place. they really have done a nice job with the outdoor heaters , and all of the staff is very friendly“

“Awesome location with a great atmosphere. Food is amazing! The kind of crowd that sings along with every song. you can't get better!“

“Great location, good food and top notch service! Becca our waitress was excellent!!“

“Great service and food. Their quail, pork chop, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, au gratin potatoes, red snapper, and salmon were so good. It's quite a busy restaurant and their food and service are why. They quickly and efficiently served our party of 10. Loved the storyteller, prior to our meal. Would definitely return, when in the area again.“

“Attended a wedding reception and it was a perfect venue. The variety of beer choices is amazing and the heated area outside was super cozy. The fire-pit seating and the graveled dance area made it really comfortable.

Updated: Still the best place to go for a casual vibe. Board game variety is excellent and the bartenders are super helpful with making choices... very knowledgeable! Love hanging out here!“

“Good cocktails, laid back vibes, cute puppies 💕“

“WONDERFUL neighborhood bar. I’ve been coming to RTs for almost 2 years. Great drink selections .“

“Great place!! First time being there. Not from the area, but I had a blast.. It was karaoke night and I had a great night.. Will diffenantly will go back.“

“I’ve heard about this place for a long time and after trying it for the first time I can see why. Best Crawfish Etouffee I’ve ever had by far.“

“First, the vibe of the hotel is top tier. As for the bar, the margaritas are ????. I've had watermelon and peach so far, with a tajin rim. Talk about flavor. The bartenders have been excellent. I would definitely recommend stopping by, even if you're not a hotel guest. Cheers to you W XYZ Lounge ??“

“The people at Eastside are like family. I can’t say a negative thing about Eastside or the people there. It’s like my second home. I will forever be grateful for them.“

“The experience of watching the bartenders hand craft the cocktails can only be topped by the taste. Wonderful atmosphere for couples, friends or groups.“

“Coldest beer in town with the most enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and friendliest staff in Denton!“

“We stopped but had an amazing meal. Enjoyed meeting Mr Embry. We felt welcome and at home“

“I’m not one to hype places up but this place is my favorite place in town. The food is great, especially the brussel sprouts. Theres a bar you can get whatever you want, and beers on self-serve draft. Food service is quick, and the owners come by to check on you to ensure a great experience.“

“It's a great local place to hang out. I've come in here recently a couple times and everybody is cool af. Haven't tried the food but I've heard nothing but good things.“

“it's a fun, awesome place. I love it!!!❤️❤️❤️“

“Great Hospitality from the staff. The BLT is on point. Not sure I’ll be able to ever order anything else. Ice cold Millers!“

“bring games or they have them already. bring friends and enjoy a per roll will your favorite drink.“

“Excelente lugar!!!! buena música y atención super bien la verdad me encantó“

“We visited Verf's on 9/19/25 and Jose F was our waiter. The food was wonderful, and our waiter Jose did an excellent job checking on us but not becoming annoying by constantly asking if we needed anything. We sat near the bar which was a tad noisy, but the booth we were seated in was uncomfortable and better suited for larger people b/c the table is too far away from the seats. And our table had an uneven wood surface as we cut into our food. Lastly, the $2.50 discount for Police/Fire/Vets should be a little more ... say 15%. Otherwise, it was an outstanding dining experience.“

“Like I said on previous posts For bars on Fry Street if you do not do the Fry Street bar crawl On your birthday, you are not living. Mine ended with me in the ER with seven staples In my head A concussion and four days in the ICU and it was worth every minute of it. I had the best time of my life. Unfortunately, I chose to go to aces Not on fry street After afterwards And that’s what sent me over the top But all the games I played doing the crawl All the people I met in every bar And the experience I had on my second day being in Texas It was the best time of my life And every single bar on Fry Street was such a good time All the workers were amazing Tip your bartenders and servers always people I just had the best time Piece of advice, always in the bar crawl after you finish Do not go to another bar That is not on Fry Street if you complete the crawl This is a bad idea Go home Lol But do the crawl Live life and have a blast You will never regret it Even staples layer 🤣🤣🤣😭“

“I posted a negative review originally… However, Ryan the owner reached out to me personally to try and accommodate and assess the reasons for my review. Ryan went as far as to have a private discussion which I won’t go into, in person! If that doesn’t show the management and staff cares I don’t know what does. I gladly and appreciatively took down my negative review and am overwhelmingly happy with the overall experience we simply hit a rough patch and Ryan did his part to help the customer and fix the problems. I’ve gone to the garage for a long time and plan on continuing to visit and be a regular. Thank you Ryan and thank you the garage for being a good place to come and chill out in. I can happily say I recommend this to anyone that wants to escape the monotonous clubs for some chill vibes, pool, and good drinks.“

“My rating is 5 stars bc I love coming here but if I had to rate the bartender, Hayden, I would give him negative 7348548738 stars. He is the worst, extremely rude, and I'd rather die of thirst than order a drink from him. All of the other bartenders are so nice and friendly.“

“Amazing service from the staff. The mentaiko pasta was the highlight. Really enjoyed the izakaya I love how they have everything that you want in a Japanese restaurant: sushi, katsu, tempura, ramen, and izakaya. Will definitely come back to try all their other items on the menu.“

“We love it here! One of our favorite places to visit. My happy place is on the porch! Oh and the coffee is delicious 😃“

“🍳 Sunday Brunch Review – J. Macklin’s (Coppell, TX) 🍳 My wife and I stopped in for Sunday brunch at J. Macklin’s and overall had a great experience! The atmosphere was lively but comfortable, perfect for a weekend meal. We did have an extended wait (they were out of biscuits 😅), but I have to give major credit to the management and wait staff. They handled it extremely well and even offered a discount for the inconvenience. Truly phenomenal service, they turned the situation around and made us feel taken care of. We tried the Bacon Board, which has a fun concept but could use a little more creativity. Just maple syrup on bacon didn’t quite hit the mark, but with a little flair this could easily be their signature appetizer. Now the entrées were exceptional. ✔️ My wife’s Southern Benny was flavorful and perfectly executed. ✔️ I had the grilled cheese with a hearty tomato soup and fries and let me just say, those fries were some of the best I’ve had in a long time. Bottom line: 🔹 Great vibe, 🔹 excellent main dishes, 🔹 and top-tier service. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The vibe of this place smacked me in the face when I walked through the door. Ramiro was the best bartender. I was so lucky to get served by him again coincidentally I got to see him last year on my birthday!! He has always guided me in the right direction learning all the yummy shots. The other day my car battery died when I was trying to get home from class and he helped jump it. Thank you Ramiro and Cecily. I cannot express my thanks enough to every person that works here. The food is also so scrumptious, had the thanksgiving burger when I had no thanks giving plans and the whole staff was so welcoming that day even though they had to be at work. COME DRINK AT BEANS.“

“Great time great establishment everything was perfect food service and staff“

“Delicious pizza! Most like NY-style than anywhere else in the DFW area.“

“We tried Currywood’s Punjab kitchen last night & were truly impressed by the quality and taste of all the items we ordered. Garlic naan were freshly baked & were so soft👍🏼. Dahi bhalle had the perfect balance of sweet & savory flavor like chaat is supposed to be 🤌🏼 Chicken curry was absolutely melt in the mouth delicious. Meat was so tender which perfectly complemented the soft naan. My fingers didn’t break through the naan trying to cut the chicken pieces. Food was 10/10 🫶🏼 Can’t wait to go again and stuff my face with this yummness 🤤“
