I've visited Whiskeys twice now, and I can say that this is such a great gem in the Dallas area…read more While whiskey is not my drink of choice, I'm happy to explore outside of my comfort zone at this bar. I have not had a bad drink here, and I doubt I ever will. Seating is limited, but I usually come with 1 person so I've been able to easily snag a seat. During peak hours, don't be surprised if there is a line. This is a great date night spot or a place to catch up with a friend. The music is loud, but the playlist is always good so I'm not complaining. If you're looking for a grown and sexy bar in Dallas, then look no further.

We will be back soon!

I recently visited Ash & Barrel in Sherman, TX, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment…read moreI stepped in, the atmosphere struck me as both luxurious and welcoming -- cozy leather seating, ambient lighting, marble accents at the bar, and multiple big-screen TVs made it the perfect spot to relax, socialize, or unwind. What really stood out was their outstanding selection of premium whiskeys and cigars -- truly curated and high quality. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help pair the perfect drink and cigar combination. Their walk-in humidor is impressive, and the fact that they host regular events (Trivia Night, Poker Night, Cigar Club, etc.) gives the place a strong sense of community and personality. ashandbarreltx.com I also appreciate that they offer a VIP membership with benefits like discounted prices, locker storage for your favorite cigars, and entry into special raffles -- a nice touch for regulars. ashandbarreltx.com If you're looking for a refined yet approachable lounge to enjoy premium cigars and whiskeys (or just a relaxing evening), Ash & Barrel is absolutely worth a visit. I'll certainly be going back.

Tried a new place for Mother's Day. We went on Saturday at 1:30pm. Thought ahead and made a…read morereservation & I'm glad we did. This place was busy!! But our table was ready ahead of time. They had a few rooms you could reserve for a private party. They offer a brunch menu until 3pm but you can also order off their dinner menu if you so choose. Since this was our first visit we had a difficult time deciding what to have. Our waiter was very accommodating & didn't make any of us feel rushed. For our extremely picky eater the kitchen made adjustments to make sure he had an enjoyable meal. After we made our selections, I feel like our food arrived in a very timely fashion & everyone was very pleased with their selections. Their mustard seed ketchup was interesting to see but very tasty. Even our picky eater thought it was good not that he strayed from the regular ketchup! The only thing we didn't try was their whisky cake because we were too full from our meals. My wife thinks this means we should go back just for appetizers & dessert. Which of course we will plan on soon. All in all it more than deserves 5 stars. And I wish we had taken photos but we were enjoying being with the kids too much to bring our phones out. Definitely put this location on your radar, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all!

Shut up and take my money…read more Impeccable service. Staff was super helpful, over the phone answering queries about wait time and in person. The servers are very knowledgable about the food and drinks and were able to break down the mixology (my husband found a new favorite whiskey). As always, hubby asked for the dairy-based condiments to be left off his dishes, and although he has more of an intolerance than an actual allergy, the server (without being asked) consulted the chef and was able to list every dairy ingredient in every dish, down to the milk powder in the brioche. (You'd be surprised how often the staff just shrugs and has no idea what's in their own food.) I believe no matter what you order, it will be one of the finest examples of that menu item you will ever taste. We had the crab cake appetizer, prime rib and gouda stack, french onion burger, chips, fries, whiskey cake, and cocktails. My husband's old fashioned was the best old fashioned he had ever tasted. He ordered a second. The food was sublime, each menu item was either delicious or outstanding. Whiskey cake is the only item on their dessert menu because it is the only dessert you will need. It is their version of a sticky toffee pudding. It's huge. We were there for a birthday, so we were given the whiskey cake for free. I'd say the margarita was just a margarita, and the water in the fancy jug was definitely gross tap water, but every other food and drink item was perfection. The restaurant is appealing and clean inside. I am glad we were seated in one of the side porch areas where there is sunlight and fewer folks. The interior is quite dark and loud, but nothing outrageous. It's just that style of restaurant. Happy hour is weekdays 3-6, with a small selection of popular drinks for $7.

You are able to enjoy the experience at your own pace. The food options are also savory & delicious. Some of my favorite small bites include the Pepperoni Pizza, Truffle Fries, Lobster Shooters and Potstickers. Not only is Social Oak beautiful & cozy on the inside but their Staff are extremely helpful, kind & attentive. We even purchased cigars during our most recent visit & enjoyed smoking them on the back patio while paired with glasses of whiskey. Social Oak in Trophy Club is truly special!

I need to add that this bar is at the top floor of The Harper, not the rooftop, so you can enjoy this bar year-round. The views are great and the drinks are better!

In other words, you'd never catch a glimpse of it by simply driving through town (thank goodness for Google maps!) and even many of the locals are unaware of its existence. We did manage to find it though, with hopes that the food would be worth the effort it took to get there. My husband and I both started with caesar salads. Other than being a little heavy on the dressing, they tasted ok. The pecan crusted salmon and mac & cheese were next for me. The coating on the salmon tasted like the same stuff a Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole is topped with. Unfortunately, that's the one thing I never touch because I'm just not a fan of the flavors. Unlike the salmon and salad, there was nothing objectionable about the mac & cheese. My husband ordered a filet that arrived really cold and underdone. It was closer to mooing than medium rare like he requested! Even after they took it back to the kitchen to cook it some more, it came back pretty raw. The chocolate cake we had for dessert was probably the best part of the meal. It was so rich and decadent that we didn't even miss the raspberry sauce (I assumed they purposefully left it out since we got it to go). Considering that the management here has opened and closed so many different restaurants in this same spot, you would think that they would be experts by now at running a successful establishment. But for some reason, they continue to put out the kind of lackluster food that can be found for a lower price at a major chain. At least they can boast having a beautiful view if nothing else.

You walk through a tiny, almost hidden door, head up a long stairwell, and suddenly you're in this moody, library-style space that feels equal parts speakeasy and literary hideout. It's intimate, dimly lit, and full of character. The cocktails are where this place really shines. The Homemade Smoking Jacket is a standout -- smoky, balanced, and thoughtfully crafted. The espresso martini was also excellent: smooth, bold, and not overly sweet. You can tell they take their cocktail program seriously. Why four stars instead of five? It's small and can feel tight when busy, and you may need a little patience depending on the crowd. But honestly, that's part of the charm. If you're looking for a unique, tucked-away spot in Denton with excellent drinks and a cool vibe, this is absolutely worth the climb up the stairs.
