    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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 :)

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

    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

    I love the aesthetics of the bar and how it felt like a speakeasy. The drinks were really good and the bartenders were extremely nice. I would definitely come back and visit.

    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.

    Always the best time with the most talented baristas. Vibes are immaculate and the atmosphere is so fun!

    The best drink ever!

The service was excellent, and our server gave us some great recommendations throughout the evening. We tried the I Dream of Kiwi, Only Fans, and the Soft Serve Margarita. The first two were refreshing, fruity, and packed with flavor, while the Soft Serve Margarita was a fun twist on a classic. For food, we had the Caesar salad, beef cheek tacos, and the Apothecary Burger with the truffle fries upgrade. The Caesar was a little too heavy on the dressing for my taste, making it quite fishy, so I'd recommend asking for the dressing on the side or going light on it. The burger with truffle fries was easily a 9/10, and the beef cheek tacos were just as good--tender, flavorful, and definitely worth ordering. One of the best parts is the happy hour offered every day until 6:30 PM, with all "Over the Counter" cocktails for $12 and 50% off food. It's one of the better happy hour deals in Dallas, especially considering the quality of the food, drinks, and overall experience. We'll definitely be back.

We were huge fans of Meddlesome Moth(which had closed a few months prior). The beer list didn't excite me(I'm a beer snob) but the bar vibe and the great staff quickly made me forget about that. We eat there twice a month now and when we don't get in on a regular schedule, we really miss it. I'm a huge fan of the steak frites and my wife loves the weekly pasta dishes which never disappoint. The cocktails are great and they're made by the friendliest barkeeps in town(Matt, Christine) Christopher keeps the place flowing and Brittani(owner) is great and always welcoming. The overall vibe is comfy and totally unpretentious. Goldies is a hidden gem but has quickly become a popular spot. Great spots like this don't stay hidden very long. Highly recommended! Carter L

Food, however, wasn't great, we came multiple times last year and it was fantastic all around, last night?... New risotto appetizer was flavorless 4/10, sauce was outstanding 9/10. Chicken meatballs were 6/10, salty, but sauce again was 8.5/10. Bread with the meatballs was 9/10. Nightly special was 9/10, chicken thigh wrapped chicken leg, amazing sauce and carrots. Special sauce with the nightly special stole the night at 9.5/10 - I'd order a bowl of that and call it a night! Magic Chicken Thighs were 6/10, overly salted and dry - side arugula salad was a salt bomb 2/10. Sweet potatoe purée was 7.5/10. Burger and fries were 7/10, solid and above average. Salmon was 7/10, slightly overcooked. Mac & Cheese was 3/10, below average, dry, almost flavorless - paid $4 for bacon topping and it was dry also. Noodles were dried out and the cheese sauce was at the bottom of the cup, tasted like they scooped in pre-made noodles, added sauce, threw it in the oven and off it went - didn't appear mixed together at the least. Carrots, solid 8/10. Overall, I'd be tempted to give it another try, the ambiance and overall feel is awesome - then hope the food is great again and make it a perfect Friday night spot, but for $275 for the 4 entree's, 2 appetizer's and 2 drinks we got last night? I'd argue it wasn't worth it.
