    Checked out De Fortune and loved the chic, elevated vibe right away. The ambiance feels stylish yet welcoming, making it a great spot to unwind or catch up with friends. Drinks were solid, the energy was just right, and overall it made for a fun night out -- definitely a place I'd visit again!

    Came for drinks with a friend. There is a great ambience inside with nice seating. Not a huge space but they do take reservations. I tried a martini for the first time and loved it. There is free parking for 2 hours in the deck

    Tiramisu Martini

    Place was intimate and cute for date night but that's about the only positive. Al Pastor cocktail was very sweet and Tiramisu Martini tasted like a watered down espresso martini. Bartenders were not friendly at all. There were barely any guests on a Monday night and we couldn't even get a simple "Hello" or "Thank You". No one greeted us and menus were placed in front of us without uttering a single word. Someone approached us with an unbothered "you ready to order?" followed by a "you wanna leave it open or close?". He then preceded to go stand in the corner with nothing to do because it was so dead. Shocker. Oh, don't forget about the 20% they automatically added to our two drinks.

    I'm sad to report that this place is not the answer. We went on a Friday evening to see one of our favorite House music DJs, DJ Nimbus. We came after happy hour and they had a pretty steady crowd, but we were able to find two seats. It is a very small space. I will say that the doorman and the bar manager were very nice , especially the bar manager. He was very communicative and friendly. Where the cons come in at is with the bartender. This is a very important part of a cocktail bar business so I was in hopes that they would get this right. I didn't get his name, but he was very off putting, he had a pompous attitude and just wasn't friendly. My little itty-bitty drink that you see in the picture was $20. It was a Gibson Martini Five to one pour and very boring and bland in taste. It did not come with my onion, I had to ask for it and it was just way overpriced for what it was. My husband ordered a regular slightly dirty martini ($20) no olive and no taste. We then got a standard Espresso martini & again boring and lacked flavor. It almost tasted like everything was watered down. The area is cute with other establishments, It was easy for us to find parking so that was a plus, but I doubt that we'd ever go back here not even for happy hour.

    This new cocktail lounge on w Dallas Friday night activities and let's just say it was wide open. They have reservations but maybe the tables get booked later in the night. Drinks were tiny for the price. About 18-20 dollars a drink. Vibes are very cute maybe it needs more time to hype up! They do have DJ table... no one was on it. It was kind of quiet we were waiting for it to get popping. Free garage parking under their name for 2 hours. Unisex bathrooms. Lychee garden drink was a bit sour for me, they don't have lychees either. Drink was 6/10. Bartenders were fast and attentive.

    I came here for happy hour and for drinks after brunch. It's fairly dark but inviting inside. The space is small with cozy tables. Great ambiance to catch up with a small group of friends as it's not too noisy in here (at least during the daytime - not sure how it's here at night). For cocktails I've had their martini service and Al pastor margarita. Both were well made and tasty. I've also had their cheese board and it was good to share for a small group. I would come back to try out their other cocktails and see what the ambiance is like at night.

    Such a cute, vibey place to grab drinks! We went for their Sunday happy hour (2 pm - 6 pm) and the drinks were exceptionally curated, delicious, and only $10. Everyone was very kind and we had great service. They do offer charcuterie if you need a nibble but no entrees or tapas. This is somewhere I'd consider for a cocktail hour before dinner, a date night, or after a long day in the office. Please check the dress code online!

    English Rose

    Stopped by for happy hour around 6pm on Friday evening before a 7 o'clock dinner reservation. The bar was empty when we arrived so no issues getting a table. The guys working there were all very friendly and we quickly placed our drink order. 2 neat tequilas, a Negroni and an English rose. The drinks did take kind of a while given that we were the only occupied table. The Negroni was well made and my husband liked the English rose but noted that it was on the sweet side. I am assuming that this place pops off more late at night because there is a DJ situation and a bottle service menu but I enjoyed the happy hour vibe when it was easy to get a table, $10 cocktails and no problem having a conversation.

    Happy Hour Menu  I love that their happy hour lasts until 7.

    The atmosphere is serene and cozy. The servers are attentive and attractive. This place is all about the cocktails. The only food is a cheeseboard, but that's all they need.

    The ambiance and drinks were good, but it was very overstimulating with the loud music.

    10/10 drinks, ambiance and I especially loved Brittany!! If you can request her you should!

    Meagan N.

    10/10 for ambiance and service! Jay was so personable and attentive. We came for late drinks and had a blast! Might be one of my favorite espresso martinis in Houston - we will definitely be back!

    Amazing ambiance, service was solid, followed by amazing crafted cocktails. Highly recommend this bar for an evening or night out!

Cristian, our server, took such great care of us and our guests all night and made sure everything ran smoothly.

First, the vibe. It is warm, stylish, and very Montrose in the best way. It feels elevated but still relaxed enough to just sit, talk, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed. We came during happy hour and it was such a great deal. I ordered the Sweet Like Peach Tree, which was light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with the peach and ginger. My husband got the Frozen Paloma and it was just as good, super smooth with the right citrus bite. We also shared the churros and they were honestly a must order. Warm, crispy, and paired with Nutella and caramel. What really made the experience stand out though was our bartender, Manny. He was incredibly welcoming from the moment we sat down, had such a great personality, and made the whole experience feel personal. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and that kind of service is hard to find. He also told us about their upcoming two year anniversary party on May 3rd with rotating live DJs, which sounds like it will be such a fun time. We will definitely be back.
