50 Best Bars near Southlake

“The employees here made an egregious false police report & issued a criminal trespass on a person who never went into the establishment. Patronizing this place could be a huge risk to your freedom & well being. Disgusting behavior!🤮“

“Christian at the Southlake location was great and courteous. We will definitely come back.“

“1st time here and I am from Chicago…loved the atmosphere. Food and drinks were great. Service was great as well. Wish I could bring it home with me!“

“The food is worthy of 5 stars, but the service on our last two visits was terrible. They have an extensive menu with all of the better known Thai favorites and some interesting (and tasty) variations. The Pot Stickers are great. So is the Tom Yum Thailicious - their spin on classic Tom Yum. The Pineapple Fried Rice is addictive. Highly recommend the Pad Thai. The Hostess was as friendly and engaged as she could be, but on the visit before last our waiter spent most of his time sitting at a table looking at his phone, and when he occasionally thought to actually check on us he was surly to the point of being almost non-conversational (rude?). On our last visit it was the same story. We actually asked the hostess if she could please seat us in a section of the restaurant that we thought was not his. She gladly obliged, but it turned out that we miscalculated and wound up with him as our waiter again. This time he spent less time checking his phone, but his attitude and level of engagement was no better. We love their food, so maybe we order food for pick up in the future. We saw a steady steam of customers picking up orders, so maybe that's the way to go. That way we're not expected to tip a rude and inattentive waiter.“

“Five star quality!!! Wonderful food“

“I was given a gift çard to eat at this restaurant. I went there with dear friends of mine à few years ago & it was Terrible. last night Wednesday June, 21 2023. I decided to give them another try. OMG!! My waitress Julia was à beautiful young lady as SWEET as could be. the food was great. To say it was Much better service & Atmosphere. I spoke with a manager Jimmy to tell him this way better than the last time. A big shout out to my waitress Julia. Thank you for your service. IF I had to change anything it would be Not to make the Sala so spicy hot.“

“Jesus was a great server for us and the quesadillas and street tacos were wonderful! The atmosphere is nice and drinks were good 👍🏻“

“Never in my life that I would think bar food would be as good as it is here. Hubby had the trash can nachos with chicken and he enjoyed them. I had the chicken Caesar wrap and let me tell you. This wrap is one of the best I have ever had. It was filled with plenty of Caesar salad, chicken and parm and lightly toasted where the outside of the wrap had parm cheese on it too. It was freaking amazing! We went during a Cowboys game and thought it would be too pack. It is a big place with plenty of room to sit inside and outside. Our waitress was very nice and always followed up with us. We will frequent this place not only for the food but the atmosphere as well.“

“We had so much fun going here for a day date! Our server Tong had great recommendations for rolls and wine. We also got to try a new roll that wasn’t on the menu yet. Amazing food and atmosphere!“

“We found this location by chance shortly after it rebranded and have been going back consistently ever since. The service is unmatched and authentic - everyone is so personable and kind. We’ve never had a less than stellar experience. We’ve celebrated birthdays, Valentine’s Day, brunches, and even just drinks - all exquisite. I’ve been to several Brazilian steakhouses in the DFW area and this place surpasses them all by far. We highly recommend them!“

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

“Always a great dining experience. The service is exceptional! The food and drinks are always the highest quality and tastes. We love this place! It's perfect for casual dinners and elegant enough for celebrations. Have come here several years in a row for the NYE dinner and it's always wonderful“

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

“Update from prior review.... The atmosphere and service continues to be amazing! Shelby is a kind and happy bartender that makes one heck of an old fashioned! Darian the other bartender made my first one and it was a 10! Both of them are wonderful! Bobby the service staff manager is funny and makes you feel like an old friend. Tell him star wars is better than star trek and you might have a debate on your hands! I had the 30oz porkchop and its no joke! The team in the kitchen have some sort of magic! I took the bones home because the public is not ready to see me chew away all the tender goodness from them. And the glaze is to die for! Michelle is a fun and well dressed character. Great place food to die for and an amazing staff! Thanks for a great evening!....... original post below......

Wow! First of all our server Taylor was amazing! He made great recommendations, was funny and engaging. The drinks were great, atmosphere is top notch and, the food was perfect. 100% recommend!“

“Friendly staff and an awesome selection of whiskeys and bourbon. The Wednesday night pint night is a ringer!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Classic Café at Roanoke is where excellence, fellowship, and craftsmanship meet. Exceptional food, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that reminds us the finest things are built with care and purpose. A true gem worth the visit. Highly recommended. . . . #TheClassicCafe #RoanokeTX #Fellowship“

“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.“

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

“I love everything about this place! Especially the employees!“

“Great service and friendly“

“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.“

“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!“

“Chelsea and keke were Amazing bartenders! Friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. Drinks were made perfectly, recommendations were spot on, and service was always quick even when it got busy. Their positive attitude and professionalism really stood out. If you’re lucky enough to have them as your bartender, you’re in for a great time. Definitely one of the best bartending experiences I’ve had!“

“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.“

“It's just the go-to dive bar for me.“

“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.“

“Showed up for a football Sunday and great little spot. Bartenders were great and very attentive. They had free sliders and chips for the cowboys game and happy hour all day.

Wanted wings and they order those from next door. Will definitely return again.“

“Magnolia located in the Holiday Inn is a welcoming local spot offering delicious Cajun food, refreshing drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. The menu features flavorful dishes, generous portions, and classic favorites perfect for lunch or a quick bite. Friendly service, a comfortable setting, and a great neighborhood vibe make it an excellent choice.“

“Tons of fun!!! The people who work there really take great care of their facility and want to help you learn!! Would definitely go back!“

“Honestly, a great hotel restaurant for dinner.
I ordered the 10oz tenderloin medium with the loaded sweet potato, husband ordered the burger and fries and we shared a side of Mac and cheese. The steak was VERY good and cooked perfectly medium. The sweet potato was…okay but I’m not a big fan of them anyway. The Mac and cheese was so good. Big shells and creamy not watery. We also ordered dessert to go and that was great to have in the room. Staff was so nice and laid back but professional. All in all. A nice surprise!“

“Delicious food and great attention from Aaron, you want him to take your order.“

“In for the weekend from Arkansas.When we first walked in we were welcomed with a smile and a handshake! Very good time with awesome people!“

“Our flight was canceled so we had to spend the night next-door to the Sheraton at the Comfort Inn suites so decided to come over here for a couple of drinks and appetizers. Beautiful restaurant with huge vaulted ceilings, uncomfortable seating.

We ordered the nachos with chicken Tinga and they were absolutely scrumptious! I think those are my second favorite nachos ever that I’ve eaten! Just a right amount of ingredients and all spread out on a nice big square dish. Very flavorful! Then he had a nice cold beer and I ordered a skinny margarita, but it was extremely weak so I had to order a side of tequila. Not cheap but it’s a hotel restaurant.“

“This has become my family's go to relax and have a chill time place in the area. The drinks are great if you love frozen margaritas that taste good (and you get a lot of it lol). I have never been there when their wasn't a food truck of some sort out front. Since it is a different truck each time, I cannot say how good that part of the experience will be for you. They have cheap snacks to keep kids happy (hot dogs, frozen ice cream cones, etc, think ballpark type food).
Mom, Dad. The best thing about this place is the indoor playground for kids. We come in, order our drinks and sit down (or play way too much cornhole) and our kids are off playing and out of our hair. NO ONE COMPLAINS ABOUT BEING BORED. The adults get to talk and enjoy themselves and so do the kids. Win/win all around!“

“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 ??“

“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!“

“I arrived on Tuesday, and the atmosphere, decorations, and staff is wonderful. It's the perfect escape and a great place to relax and enjoy time with friends. The bartender, Alex, is exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly, and the drink menu has something for everyone.“

“🍳 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!“

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

“We stopped by while on a quick work trip and were so pleasantly surprised. It’s a super fun atmosphere and with absolutely fantastic employees! We had a great night and will definitely be back if we are even in the area again!

My work buddy accidentally broke a couple glasses when bringing them in at the end of the night and they were so kind about it. We definitely chose the right spot to stop by. Great drinks, great food, and great service. It doesn’t get much better than that“

“Fantastic service !!!!!!!!! Great food …. My toddler was antsy and they were so kind to him!! They brought him fruit and all kinds of stuff to make it fun for him …. The waitress even noticed he likes blue berries and brought him his own little ramekin …. It’s the little things that make it special!“

“Best pool hall in a 20 mile radius!!!! Great atmosphere, great support staff and service. Best of all this business is family friendly. If you enjoy spending time with family and friends shooting pool or just having drinks and a good meal Pockets is a great place to visit.“

“The staff is so friendly and amazing. I love all the specials offered and different themes to the week. Great place to relax and unwind.“

“Better customer service for African American people. I had water spilled on me. The waitress or the manager didn't seemed to care.“

“Brittany is the best, there was some people that tried to walk their tab after telling her they paid and said they were going to bigs a week or two ago. They left a negative comment but it’s BS. She handled it like a champ, one of the best Bartenders in DFW and Bedford. The main reason I come here is Brittany, she’s amazing!!!!“

“Absolutely love this winery. They are known for their sweet wines however, I enjoy their red blends specifically the “ghost”. The staff is fantastic and friendly! The game nights are way too much fun! Definitely try it out on a Thursday night if you end up going!“

“I left my wallet with your bartender on Wednesday 8/18/2023 Flight 2207. I was there for about an hour before my 12:20 pm flight. The young lady had dark hair. Your website and contact phone number is not working. I also messaged on Facebook.“

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

“I’ve been here a few times and if you’re greeted by Blue, Emily, Kyle or Angie you know you’re somewhere special. This isn’t just another neighborhood bar—it’s the kind of place that immediately makes you feel welcome and leaves you looking forward to your next visit before you’ve even left.
The atmosphere is outstanding: lively without being overwhelming, stylish without feeling pretentious, and filled with the kind of genuine energy that makes a night out feel memorable. The drinks were fantastic, the service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make the experience feel personal. You can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience for everyone who walks in.

What impressed me most was how effortlessly everything came together. Great music, great people, a fantastic atmosphere, and drinks that were clearly made with care. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual drink, meeting friends for a night out, or looking for a new local favorite, this place delivers on every level.

It’s rare to find a bar that has both character and consistency, but this one absolutely does. It has that perfect neighborhood feel while still offering an experience that feels special. I left with a smile, a great impression, and one very easy decision: I’ll definitely be coming back.

If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. This is the kind of local spot that deserves to be busy every night. Highly, highly recommended!“

“I had my birthday party here and the vibe was so amazing! I had the best time!!“
