Let me start by saying I discovered this place completely by accident, just because I happened to have a storage unit in the facility right next door. To be honest, I did not pay much attention for a while, but one night I was coming back home and I decided to stop by for a drink and a smoke (for the record, I don't do hookah but I do smoke cigars). Unexpectedly, I run into a real funny situation; I asked the host at the door, if I can get a drink and, showing him my cigar, if I can smoke it at the patio. I am not sure what he understood but he asked me to wait and brough back the manager. You can imagine the confusion in my head. Long story short, he happened to understand I asked for the manager. I apologize for my "thick Italian accent" and he apologizes as well for misunderstanding me. The 3 of us laugh and the manager (later I learned she is also a partner), invited me in. She lead the way to the bar where she introduce me to the bartender and the other personnel. I ordered my drink there.
Let's go to the experience. After what I said before, you might assume correctly, I am a regular there now, so I will tell about my experiences throughout my visits (plural).
Since I am always alone, I normally order a beer, glass of wine, glass of scotch or a mixed drink Gin based, which are my preferences (they serve a phenomenal Gin Basil Smash!). I sat a lot at the bar, and one thing I noticed about the bartenders is the fact they do not "water down" the drinks (how many times you see a bartender completing the drink glass with a splash of water?). That's another plus.
One night, I decided to try their food. Among the stuff I tried, I have to say my 3 favorites are the Brisket Sliders, Salmon Bites and the Salmon Sliders (this ones are mouthwatering, trust me). For sides, yellow rice and brussels sprouts are my favorites. Still I will try one of the more elaborated plates (that's in my to-do-list).
Ambience is nice, mostly relaxed and chilled, well, that's the purpose of a Lounge, isn't it. Here in North Texas we, sometimes, forget that.
If you happen to be in the neighborhood, and you want to have a drink and chill out, this is the place to go. And yes, grab a bite too. You are not going to be disappointed. read more
