Food is fire!!! But this place is known for its late night energy!!! When i come here after 9pm, i never want to leave til they kick me out!!!

Sugar skull decoration
Leslie D.

Our Halloween pub crawl kicked off from here. It was a nice day so we enjoyed the open air seating of the large wrap-around patios. The decor is really fun if you like sugar skulls! The servers were friendly and efficient. We did not try the food. There was loud DJ music playing inside for a party vibe. Great location in the heart of the bar district.

Fresh Mex Salad with Shrimp and Shredded Chicken
Tressette S.

Directly across from the tattoo studio I was getting work done at....the music and aroma from the food was calling me. I had a two hour wait til my appointment time anyways. I wasn't about to venture far in 6 inch heels so why not take a seat close by. I'm glad I did! I starting eating so quick I half heartedly took pictures for you guys ;) When you check in here, you get a Chef's pick for free. My son chose the Queso Fundido and added Carne Asada. Chips with Salsa Verde and Tomato Salsa are complimentary. I ordered the Fresh Mex Salad with a avocado vinaigrette dressing minus the Corn with Shrimp and Shredded Chicken. The shredded chicken wasn't my favorite because it was like a sweet barbecue shredded chicken. There's not a lot of teas, and non alcoholic beverages here at least that's what I was told :( I was driving too far so I couldn't risk it. But I really love the atmosphere. They have tv screens everywhere. Cigarette machine on back patio. Small dance area. Fights are shown here. DJs are requested here. I would love to come back just to dance and look at all the beautiful people on Friday and Saturday night.

Bad Ass Fries

The food was really good! We went at happy hour for margs and they were okay. We got the loaded fries and the nachos and both were on the happy hour menu. The fries were amazing. The service was awful. We were there between 4 and 5 and the restaurant was not full at all. We were frequently having to waive down the waitress.

FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz **** WHAT THEY'RE KNOWN FOR: bottle service/drinks! A great staple on 7th street to complete your bar hop stops. I love this place because they make the best paletta shots! THE VIBE: very colorful, lowkey rockstar vibes, pink heavy. Attracts a Latin crowd but I love going here because vibes are always lit and they play music from all genres. Definitely gives a more club vibe than bar but it's technically a lit bar/restaurant. PRICE: gifted WOULD I COME BACK? Yes. **** Overall Rating: 8.5/10 - One of my favorite bars on 7th street, @jackiegnunez invited me to show me all the great food options they have and the happy hour prices they offer! - El Chingon is a known spot for good Latin music and great vibes. Their bottle service sections come at such an affordable price you can party with your friends on a budget but still have a good time. Some of the menu prices are listed towards the end. They have different prices ranging in different days. - If you don't drink and just wanna enjoy some good bar food, El Chingon has so many different options at such a CHEAP price! You can't go wrong with loaded fries and I recommend trying them and the super sandia drink! I don't even like beer but the fresh water melon bowl and chamoy really took it to the next level. - Jackie recommended the carnita tacos to me but only got one but I wish I got them all carnita bc the meat was super juicy and delicious. Maybe skip out on the grilled chicken options! - Whether you come here at night or come enjoy a fun afternoon with friends, definitely come to 7th street and don't forget to stop by El Chingon.

Loved this spot. Came to Dallas for a girls trip and had a great time here! Service was amazing and food was pretty good. Their drinks were great! Loved the paleta on top of the margarita

They charged our credit cards without authorization. $10 charges showed up on our credit cards weeks after we visited the place. Be aware.

Came here for the Murder Mystery at Thompson's event, and even though we didn't end up solving the…read morecrime, it made for such a fun, festive night out. The premise of the event was super engaging. We got to mingle with suspects, search for clues, and try to figure out "whodunnit" while exploring the venue. One of the best parts about Thompson's is the venue itself. The experience spans across all four distinct floors (from the main speakeasy level up to the cigar lounge), and each floor has its own unique vibe and personality that made hunting for clues even more entertaining. As for the drinks, the whiskey sour was top-notch. It hit the spot while we were busy playing detective. The bar was kept fairly clean throughout the night. The employees were super friendly, and kept the drinks flowing smoothly despite the event crowd. We were able to grab some street parking nearby, but if you can't find a spot right out front, there are plenty of paid parking lots in the immediate area. I highly recommend keeping an eye out for their special events!

We also had one of their unique cocktails which had a butterscotch taste. It was good. I walked through the cigar bar which is on the small side. Felt a little cramped compared to the other cigar bar downtown. We had a few drinks and went to leave. We found 4 additional bourbon drinks added to our tab. We knew nobody in our group was drinking that drink at all. We argued with the bartender and he refused to take it off. It left a sour taste in our mouth and $50+ lighter in the wallet. Bartender must have put someone else's drinks on our tab. Frustrating.

Fiance and i walked were exploring and walked past an oddly placed and weirdly small laundromat…read morebefore realizing that there is no way this just a tiny random laundromat. We poke our heads in (accidentally going through the exit door. the front door is well camouflaged) and just found a wonderful very chilled out bar. Haven't been to a speakeasy in a long time. It was dark lighting with ambient black lights and string lights to keep it dim but you wont struggle to see through. Music was not super loud and the chairs were incredibly comfortable and the whole place was laid out to just have drinks and lounge while talking with friends. No food, which is fine. You have plenty of options on the same block for that. This place is just for drinks and conversation. The seasonal menu was awesome. It iss a bar so they of course can make anything you request if you don't want a specialty cocktail. I got my favorite, a moscow mule but they had a brazilian mule on the specialty menu. I never had that before and ordered it on the spot. It was grapefruit vodka with lime, lots of fine pellett nugget ice (the really good kind) with ginger beer and condensed milk. My god it was great, they told me how they made it because i never saw milk added to this before. It was a delicious limeade that almost was slushy like, creamy and with tangy vodka. Plus they actually served it in a proper copper mug. Best mixed drink ive had period and a cool twist on my favorite standard moscow mule. The place is now going to become a frequent haunt for us. Its very laid back, relaxed, with fantastic ambiance. It doesn't get jammed packed and is not meant to get wild in. We went there around 7pm on a friday night with about 8 or so others already there with their drinks. It did pick up later with 15-20 people in there but still spacious and comfortable. It genuinely was just a nice bar to have drinks and conversations with friends. Nice music that isn't too loud so you can talk with normal voice levels. The bartenders we had were super nice and charismatic. The drinks were not expensive, a respectable 13 bucks for my mule. If you have a bill over 40 dollars they automatically add 20% gratuity to it so keep that in mind when you are tipping. And after 8pm everything had 20% gratuity added to the bill. But the service is so damn good that you will probably still want to tip on top of that anyways. I loved it so much i actually made a yelp account just to post a review. TLDR super cool speakeasy type joint, cool aesthetics and laundry theme. Not loud, good for drinks and chit chat, cool well crafted specialty cocktails that don't break the bank. Good bartenders. Good times. Cozy seats that encourage you to hang out and talk even with folks you haven't met before and dim without being dark lighting. Clean bathroom too and quick charismatic service. Hit this place up for sure even just for the novelty of it. It was a wonderful surprise bar for a date night. Pro tip for this area in general. all paid parking, some place validates some do not, i am unsure if they do here but there is paid parking right out front and also a paid lot literally across the street. But i don't even bother. About a block and a half away northeast is a big shopping complex with a target. i just park there for free and walk. its a short nice walk and doesn't cost 20 bucks.

Super late review as it's been quite some time since I visited Dirty Laundry, but it's still a spot…read morethat stands out. Highlights: Super fun speakeasy-style entrance Small interior, but the seating is arranged really well for different group sizes and feels surprisingly comfortable I don't recall them offering food during my visit, but the bartenders were friendly and were able to make a great mocktail Surrounded by different eateries, so it's easy to grab food nearby before or after drinks Easy parking, which is always a plus (street or parking garage nearby)

I don't eat sushi or a lot of the menu items, but the Salmon I had was the best that I have ever had. Of course, my wife had the Lobster, probably the most expensive item on the menu. Others had the Steak and most had things that I don't even know what was in it... even after reading the menu. My point is the food was highly enjoyed by everyone, especially those who normally eat this type of cuisine. The drinks are amazing and what a variety!!! Japanese whisky and a huge wine list. PLUS, amazing sake and Japanese beer. P.s. They also have domestic and NA beer which was great since my wife doesn't drink. The service was beyond reproach. Super attentive and very informative. I have no point of reference about cost to compare too other than to say our drinks (many many drinks) was far more than the food. It was expensive, but for 8 of us, that was to be expected. The restaurant was larger than it looks, very comfortable, relaxing, and accommodating. Highly Recommended even if this isn't your normal cuisine.

The citrus of the ponzu balanced the jalapeño perfectly. I'd definitely order that roll again next time. The poke bowls are a good size but definitely on the pricey side for sushi. Overall the service was excellent. There was a mixup with our food where we got salmon instead of Tuna for our poke bowl. They quickly amended the mistake and brought us a new bowl. The atmosphere is modern and upscale making it a perfect choice for a date night. They do have some kid friendly options on the menu and a few kids were dining there on Friday night.
