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! :)“

“Great for a small group, and a perfect lgbtq+ friendly lounge. It's an open floorplan and I didnt see live music or live music, but I know on some nights there are events with bigger turn outs. There is a spacious outdoor area with bar tops and stools, as well as picnic tables. It's dog friendly which is a huge plus for my gf and I, and they offer non-alcoholic and thc drinks as well.“

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

“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! 😄“

“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 spot for good drinks and quality cigars.“

“Great stage, great sound, great staff!“

“chill atmosphere on a Saturday night“

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

“We went for the first time last night on a whim and had one of the best dinners and service ever. We had reservations at 6:15, and arrived an hour earlier than planned. The hosts adjusted on the fly and sat us immediately (it was pre dinner rush and there were tables available). Our server Taylor was personable, knowledgeable (knew the menu front to back, including items that weren’t on the menu), and attentive. We started with a couple of their signature cocktails and the meatball appetizer, followed by the surf and turf and veal chops, and ended with the cheesecake and the peanut butter cup martini. Everything, let me repeat EVERYTHING, was amazing. Not once did we feel like we were being rushed by the staff to finish, empty plates and glasses were picked up promptly and discreetly by the busser. Even though it was our first time there, Taylor instantly made us feel like we were long time regulars and friends. The entire experience was top notch. Definitely will be added to our restaurant rotation.“

“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!!“

“Our family absolutely loves Buffalo Hirsch. We live just down the street and it's so great to just pop in and relax. All of the food trucks there are top notch. Our kids especially love going, and they are always treated so nicely when we take them with us. Also, the bathrooms are spotless and always smell so fresh and clean! If you're in the Lewisville area this is a must!“

“If you haven't tried Margarita Hut on Loop 288 yet, you're missing out! The drinks are always refreshing, the vibes are fun, and the customer service is absolutely top tier. Christie, the owner, is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet she genuinely cares about her customers and makes everyone feel welcome. You can tell she puts her heart into this place. Customer service is a solid 10/10 every single time. Highly recommend stopping by!“

“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!“

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

“one of my favorite places to go whenever i’m in denton. i love the chill vibes, the video games, the movies, and the friendly and welcoming staff. they also have an amazing outdoor area where i’ve caught some really fun live music and drag shows in the past. i always look forward to coming back here!“

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

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

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“My husband and I came in for our 19 anniversary. We have been here many time and it’s always the best! We had the best waitress named Ali who made our night and anniversary “top notch!”

We had the Texas 3 dip that she suggested and you have to get it! The pimiento cheese is sooooo good. My steak was cooked perfectly and my husband’s chicken fried steak was bigger than his cowboy hat. Haha.

I highly recommend this place and Ali.“

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

“I’ve been coming here for quite sometime, and this has become one of my favorite places. The owner is genuinely friendly and welcoming, and you can tell he really cares about his customers and the atmosphere.

The beer selection is outstanding, with something for everyone, whether you’re into local craft beers or want to try something new. The food is consistently great and pairs perfectly with the drinks.

What really keeps me coming back is the overall vibe. The crowd is always friendly, the service is excellent, and the place has a warm, relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for hanging out with friends or just enjoying a good beer.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great beer, great food, and even better people. It’s one of those spots that makes you want to keep coming back.“

“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!!!❤️❤️❤️“

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

“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.“

“Super fun place with great music. Been a regular on weekends for years & “Panda” is a great worker to have up front! The drinks do get a bit pricey but the staff make up for that. I seriously can talk to them for hours! The blonde girl who usually works upstairs is so kind and the Latina girl downstairs is great. Also Jesse the younger guy downstairs!! Love it.“

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

“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.“

“🍳 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!“

“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.“

“First it’s the little things that count and this place does those things right. Ice cold mugs for the beef hits the spot after a hot Texas evening. You can tell they put in the work to make your meal delicious and I appreciate that so much these days. Anything with salmon is delicious and the yakitori was so flavorful. With so many sushi choices out there you gotta check this place out. Solid menu with something for everyone.“

“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.“
