    Matcha colada and spicy margaritas
    Felipe W.

    I've been to this bar more than I've been to any other bar. I'm so in love with it that when the parking lot was poorly managed I complained to the Dallas government and they confirmed it was under several violations and saved people from getting their tires popped and cars scrapped. Now the drinks - they changed the menu and I was in love with the old menu so I was worried at first but I should have put all my faith in their drinks because they continue to be BALANCED and SLAAAAYYYYYYY I like my caprininha extra limey and after hunting for a bar that served it - I should've just came here instead! Love the drink here, reminds me of Brazil so much. Omg the banana coquito was godly, keep up the amazing work! Usual underground party/low-key vibes here. Bring the matches back I say!

    I visited Ginger's recently and had a really enjoyable experience overall. The customer service stood out immediately--from the doorman, who was welcoming and confident, to the bartenders inside. After checking our IDs, he set the tone by telling us we were about to experience some of the best drinks in the city--and honestly, he wasn't wrong. Once you enter and head downstairs, it truly opens up into its own world. The ambiance is intimate, cozy, and thoughtfully curated. The entry itself is charming, and the transition into the space feels like stepping into a hidden gem right in the heart of downtown Dallas. Inside, the layout is narrow and extends straight back, with the bar centrally positioned. Seating is limited, with small sections and lounge-style areas, so it does fill up quickly. We arrived later in the evening and there was a waitlist for tables. If you're planning to go, I would definitely recommend securing a reservation ahead of time (if available), especially if you prefer to sit. The bar service was efficient--we didn't wait long for drinks. One bartender in particular stood out; he was highly skilled, engaging, and clearly passionate about his craft. You could tell he enjoys what he does, and it added to the experience watching him prepare drinks with precision and energy. The vibe suggested they have a strong base of regulars who appreciate that level of service. I ordered a drink that was well-balanced--not too strong, not too light--just right. That said, this is more of a stop-in spot for me rather than a place I'd spend an entire evening, especially without a seat. At this stage, I prefer a more comfortable, seated experience rather than standing at the bar for long periods. Would I return? Yes--but only with a reserved table. It's a great after-dinner destination or nightcap spot if you're already downtown. Overall, I'd rate Ginger's an 8/10, primarily for its excellent customer service and inviting ambiance. It's a beautiful speakeasy experience tucked away in the city--just be mindful, it can be easy to miss if you're not paying attention.

    Velvet Vice is so good

    Make a reservation! We showed up without a reservation. The hostess put us on the waitlist. We found a spot at the bar (1 seat for me). After about 20 minutes the hostess came and offered us a table for 1 hour as the table was reserved. I don't know if they never showed or they sat them somewhere else, but we stayed 2.5 hours. The staff were nice. Our server was great! I wish I could remember his name. I think it was Eric or Edmond maybe anyway he talked us into some really good drinks. The Diamond in the Rough, Velvet Vice, Keizo ???( can't remember, but it's at the bottom of the page and sounds Japanese). There is another that was really good also. Great drinks and good vibes with music from the 90s until present. If you've never been, the drinks are $20. The mocktails are $15, and the wine ranges from $16 and up per glass. Again, make a reservation!

    Cocktails taste amazing! We visited this place after eating at Sushi and Bar, and it did not disappoint us. The drinks were so good--I definitely wish to come back and try more cocktails here!

    Pinky ring

    This is a nice place for great drinks and conversation! I went on a Saturday night and enjoyed my visit. The bartenders were very nice and the drinks were great! Pinky ring was my fav of the evening. I would suggest reservations if you're not a fan of standing. It draws a nice crowd and seating can be limited. I will def be back!

    My friend and I visited here after we dined at Sushi Bar and we enjoyed their drinks! The pricing is fair and customer service is friendly! Definitely a spot to check out!

    Pornstar Martini
    Alex J.

    Ginger's is one of those spots that gets it right every single time. From the doorman to the elegant walk down into this intimate, moody, almost seductive space, to the music, the experience is consistent from start to finish. I've been here for multiple occasions, from dates to girls nights out and the service has never missed. Their staff has stayed consistent over the past year I've been going, and you can feel it in the quality and service. My go-to drink is the pornstar martini, and somehow it gets better every time. If you have the chance to go, GO --it's the kind of place that delivers on both vibe and experience.

    Ginger's makes the PERFECT date night drink spot. The servers and bartenders are kind, attentive, and well versed in the menus. The ambience is dark, sexy, and intimate, it sort of makes you feel like you're not exactly in Dallas anymore. Well done all around. Will be coming back for more :)

    Amazing atmosphere on a Friday night! The music was 10/10, bartenders were busy but moving and so positive the whole night. Go early for a seat at the bar and have a great time!

    Intimate cocktail lounge that also serves dessert. Cocktails were good and out of the desserts, the chocolate cake was definitely the stand out.

    Anastasiya S.

    Very vibey place, can get pretty crowded on the weekend, however they do make sure that they let people in little by little to ensure everybody gets the chance to order, you can reserve a table by calling them. Cocktails are good, music is loud so be ready for a lot of funn

    Great vibes. Updated. Smooth. Take a lady on a nice date here for cocktails. You will probably score. Bartenders are professionals. Cheers

    Sometimes, you just need two speakeasies in one night to satisfy that craving for bourbon cocktails and hidden adventure. I love figuring out secret entrances and code words. I love the intimate, dimly lit ambiance. Tucked away down a staircase, Ginger's in Dallas is an edgy mid century modern cocktail bar. The Old Fashioneds were exceptional. I love everything about this concept. Hopping from one speakeasy was a trip.

We came in near closing time, but Emilia provided us great service and stayed attentive even though they were clearly packed. We were seated at a table near the door, and unfortunately it had a vomit smell. Whatever it was, my friend could not stand it and had to get up and step away from the table. We first thought the culprit was the paper drink coasters, but then the staff removed the door mat near us later on, so maybe someone puked on it and the smell lingered, even after it was cleaned up. Clear Mizu ($16): This has Sakura vermouth and bitters, so we ordered it. It tasted like straight up gin and was not good. It was actually one of the rare times my husband could not finish his drink. Kyoto Sunset ($15): This one wasn't bad and tasted like honeydew. The ingredients include honeydew Calpico, so that makes sense. Johnny Walker Black ($16): This was our friend's drink, which I think was just coke and Johnny Walker. Nothing special about the taste either. Given the smell and so-so/terrible cocktails, we will not be coming back or taking our friends here.

    Overall: 4.7/5 [dine in]…read more Service was amazing! Our waitress Emilia was super attentive throughout the whole night. The drinks have unique flavor combinations that actually deliver and the happy hour is phenomenal. We're talking 50% off select appetizers and entrees, $12 Over the Counter cocktails, $10 classics, and BOGO ponies and shots. They also have daily specials Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday. The space has serious speakeasy vibes so give your eyes a few seconds to adjust when you walk in from the bright light outside. Icelandic Hot Dog ($3.50 HH): Tiny single bite TX wagyu dog that was cute but hard to share. Tasted pretty similar to a regular hot dog. Tostada ($4 HH): Kanpachi on a blue corn tortilla. I'd recommend getting 2 since it gets messy the moment you take a bite and I didn't really get a proper taste of it because of that. Caviar Chip ($6.50 HH): A generous dollop of caviar on a kettle cooked potato chip with creme fraiche underneath. A yummy combo but honestly something you could recreate at home. East Coast Oyster ($2.75 HH): My husband got a single oyster to try and thought it was pretty good. London Fog ($12 HH): Milk washed London dry gin, earl grey, aveze, dry curacao, and vanilla orange honey. I loved this cocktail. I don't usually like gin and find earl grey too strong on its own but this combination was perfection. It was also served in the cutest tea cup with a yummy cookie on the side. Morocco ($12 HH): Moroccan mint tea, terralta reposado, rye, fernet branca menta, and agave. Not my favorite compared to the London Fog but my husband absolutely loved it and said it was one of the best cocktails he has ever had. He even said it would have been his signature cocktail at our wedding. I was shocked but to each their own. Confit'd and Fried Chicken Wings ($7.50 HH): The most disappointing item of the night. Came with 6 wings tossed in a Korean wing sauce that tasted very close to buffalo. The wings themselves were average. Skip these. Beef Cheek Tacos ($12 HH): Came with 3 tacos that were some of the best we've had in a while. Delicious, flavorful, no notes. Highly recommend. Soft Serve Marg ($12 HH): Like a boozy dole whip that doubled as dessert. Not too heavy but not super strong either. A fun way to end the meal. Pekin Tom ($20): Duck fat washed wild turkey 101, lapsang peach liqueur, absinthe, and pecan smoke. Not part of the happy hour menu. They smoke it right in front of you which is a cool presentation but the taste was pretty average. APO Burger ($10 HH) + Truffle Fries Sub ($7): The truffle fries felt a bit steep but they ended up being worth it. Super crispy, delicious, and addictive. The burger was cut in half which made it easy to share and it came with a TX wagyu patty, bruleed fontina, Spanish tomato spread, garlic whip, and chive. Burst of flavors, melt in your mouth wagyu, absolutely chef's kiss. We will 100% be coming back. It's a perfect spot for an intimate date night.

The staff was very welcoming, and the other guests I encountered were friendly and sociable. The drinks were excellent. On my first visit, I had the Hugo Spritz, which was mixed to perfection. During my second visit, I tried the Bitter Lemon Soda, which was also very good--simple, refreshing, and without any overpowering flavors. I actually enjoyed The Bowen House so much that I went twice during my weekend trip to Dallas. It has an almost speakeasy-like atmosphere, with low lighting and a cozy, historic feel. It's also in a very walkable area, which made it easy to visit on foot. There is some parking available, although I would say it's somewhat limited. I don't think it would be the best spot for a very large group, but it would be perfect for a few friends getting together. I also appreciated that you can order a drink while waiting for a table or bar seating, which made the wait feel much more enjoyable. Overall, The Bowen House was one of my favorite places I visited while in Dallas. Between the atmosphere, welcoming service, and well-crafted drinks, it's definitely a place I would return to the next time I'm in town.

    A Happy Hour Hidden Gem in Dallas!…read more We took a day trip to Dallas to see the circus and decided to pop into a nearby bar for drinks and small bites. Parking was a challenge, but we opted for valet and, at only $10, it was totally worth it! We originally planned to check out Bar Eden for happy hour but accidentally walked into Paradiso, which is connected. Bar Eden is a little smaller and has more of an intimate, speakeasy vibe, while Paradiso has a gorgeous, lively atmosphere. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the happy hour specials were perfect for afternoon drinks--cocktails under $10! The margarita was delicious, and the other cocktails were just as pretty as they were tasty. One thing to know: it seems there's only one restroom, so the wait can be lengthy. BUT once you get inside, you'll understand why...because it's basically a girl's dream photo booth! Definitely plan a little extra time for the bathroom selfies. We didn't try the food this time, but the ambiance and music were on point. The outdoor seating is beautiful and elegant, although it was way too hot for daytime lounging during our visit.

Another 10 minutes went by and, as no one had still come to see us, we elected just to leave. They said nothing as we walked out of the restaurant. Aside from pulling up a chair on the (again, totally empty) patio, I have no idea what we did that could have made them so upset at us. The whole experience was really odd and super off-putting, particularly so as there was no communication at all from the wait staff.
