    I found Halcyon on Yelp while looking for a coffee shop where I could get some work done, and it was a great find! The food and coffee were both really good, and the atmosphere is hip, relaxed, and perfect for hanging out or working for a bit. They also have their own parking lot, which is always a plus. I'd definitely come back! Please note there is music playing if you're WFH.

    Still one of my favorite locations to co-work or snuggle up with a book in Lower Greenville! Their breakfast burritos are affordable and FILLING!

    Well planned and spacious location. For a Wednesday afternoon the place was packed, and still somehow had a manageable noise level. I tried one of the coffee cocktails, I didn't particularly enjoy the drink, but that wouldn't deter me from returning to try something different, if I'm in the area.

    Came here after church because we heard it was a solid breakfast spot, and it lived up to the hype. The service was amazing and genuinely friendly. Our waitress popped up out of nowhere and scared us a little -- I told her she was a ninja because I didn't even see her coming. She just laughed and kept the good energy going the whole time. The orange juice was good -- not my absolute favorite, but still refreshing. I ordered the skillet and my partner went with the breakfast burrito. Both were solid choices and full of flavor. We customized each dish a bit, and they came out exactly how we wanted, which is always appreciated. The whole place has a cool, relaxed vibe. You can tell it's the kind of spot people actually enjoy hanging out in. They even do date night Fridays with a movie and hot chocolate, which we definitely want to come back and try. Feels like a fun little neighborhood tradition waiting to happen. Only thing to keep in mind -- there's no designated parking, so if you find a spot, grab it quick. Other than that, great breakfast, great service, and a place we'll be revisiting for sure.

    We came for Trivia Night! They offer trivia on Saturday nights at both 8:30pm and 9:30pm. We arrived around 7:45pm and perused the drink menu. We both decided on caffeine instead of cocktails tonight, but their cocktail menu looked delicious! The gentleman manning the bar was really helpful in answering questions and getting us started. Both got 160z lattes, plain, his with oat milk and mine with almond milk. They were served in for-here ceramic mugs. The temperature and taste were both perfect. We had an absolute blast competing in trivia night and thought the emcee did a wonderful job. We wished we could have stayed for the second game, but needed to get home. The ambiance of the place was much more spacious than we expected. There were a mix of high-top tables, booths, low top chair tables, comfortable chairs and I think I saw a couch too. The music was just the right volume to be able to study or carry on a conversation. We agreed, we will absolutely be back for Trivia Night, but will also come back for the coffee, relaxing vibe and great service.

    If you're looking for a spot that actually nails the "coffee by day, cocktails by night" transition, Halcyon is it. It's got that airy, high-ceiling energy that's perfect for getting work done without feeling like you're trapped in a cubicle. The Vibe: It's cool without trying too hard. You'll see local art on the walls and plenty of natural light. By day, it's a laptop paradise with lo-fi beats; by night, the lights dim, the music picks up, and the patio becomes the place to be--especially if you have a dog in tow. Happy Hour (3 PM - 7 PM Daily): This is the real draw. Their Espresso Martini is a local legend, but the Chocolate Espresso Martini is the move if you want something decadent. If you're there on a Tuesday, they run happy hour prices all night. Don't sleep on the $5 pimento grilled cheese--it's the ultimate "I'm not that hungry but I need a snack" food. The People: Expect a very "Lower Greenville" crowd: a mix of productive millennials, SMU students with headphones on, and groups of friends sharing s'mores kits (yes, you can roast them at your table). The staff is laid-back and friendly, though they definitely stay hustling during the weekend brunch rush. Bottom line: It's reliable, unpretentious, and arguably the best spot on the block to switch from a latte to a lager without changing seats.

    Gingerbread latte

    Wonderful staff. This is an amazing shop. Coffee shop by day and bar by night. It's perfect for a long day of studying or doing work or enjoying the night with friends. Great espresso martinis and amazing food. Beautiful interior and outdoor seating. Parking is sometimes full cause of how amazing this space is and its location. Loved the variety of seating and the lovely atmosphere. Right next to some iconic Dallas spots

    Thai Iced Coffee and Hummus
    Marie N.

    Very cute and open spaced coffee shop with a bar and patio seating. I got the Thai iced coffee and thought it was decent. Their cocktails were pretty good and they do have happy hour from 3-7 pm. Also they have food!! Portion sizes were pretty big. I recommend the hummus and nacho tots! Service was good, coffee came out pretty fast.

    I frequent Halcyon because it is such a great place to get some work done during the day. It's a very cozy lounge with multiple outlets so you can plug in your electronics. I've ordered a bunch of things on the menu but my favorite is the mimosa flight that they have. The service is okay to me, the people at the front are not always the friendliest unfortunately but I just order and keep it pushing. The only con is the parking!!!! The lot is shared by multiple businesses so that can be annoying if you don't come on time.

    The inside is spacious with plenty of different seating options, which is great depending on the mood I'm in. I also love all the natural lighting. My burrito was bigger than what I was expecting, and it automatically came with hot sauce, which was a nice touch. I enjoyed my coffee, but next time I'll ask for it half sweet since it was a little too sweet for me. Besides that, they also host events that are worth checking out, so I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

    Vegan breakfast burrito
    El H.

    I got the vegan breakfast burrito with a side of potatoes, and the person I was dining with got the salmon avocado toast. The burrito was very good and I loved the salsa! The potatoes were also great. The salmon avocado toast was interesting, though, because the bread wasn't toasted. It wasn't bad, though!

    Varun U.

    Very overpriced. Burrito bowl is basically just rice. Not sure how they get away with this, I'm hungry. If you love eating empty carbs with no nutritional value, this place is for you!

    Be it beast-moding at the bar, a yap with a friend or grabbing a nightcap, this place has been the ole jaunt for a minute. Vibes are modern meets spice- geometric shapes with pops of color. Flyers for upcoming events boasts wine and succulents, movie nights, Girl Dinner and more. So, there's community support. Order at the counter and get a numbered sign. They have menus on the wall and laminated options. Breaky is served till a decent time (check the website for final hours). Music played overhead is always uptempo and appreciated. The place is spacious: boasting booths, high tables, and chairs for one-on-ones. Plus, there's seating outdoors. The dish wear is giving fancy aunt. Plenty of caffeinated options (fyi: the chai latte has the most!) , smoothies, and noms. Drinks: the flight options are a blast. See my photos for suggestions. I've tried it all. The trickiest part is finding parking. If it's around lunch time, most weekdays, there are surrounding lots. Once school lets out/weekend, there are challenges. There's valet across the street. Mind the parking signage once you get into the residential neighborhoods. Enjoy!

He literally told me, "If a drop of rain comes, then I'll give it to you." It had rained for much of the day, and multiple customers were asking about the same promotion. If the requirement is that rain must physically be falling while you order, that needs to be clearly stated in the advertisement. Otherwise, the promotion feels misleading. I've been to Parliament several times and have never had a bartender interpret the rainy-day happy hour this way. I ended up ordering a smoked Old Fashioned from another bartender I've had before, and it was great. He was friendly, engaging, had great energy, and even did tricks while making the drink. I still enjoyed my cocktail, but it would've been nice to have the option to order from the happy-hour menu as advertised that day. I'm including the Instagram post for reference. I'm very disappointed as I've never not had a good time at Parliament. I really think that the owner should look at the Times stamps around 930 to 10:15pm part night and see the difference of business and traffic flow from when the taller bartender with the glasses versus the shorter Bartender with the glasses was at the front as it was instantly more business. Oh and lastly, I left my Betsy JOHNSON purple umbrella. I'm so sad and they don't have a number to call.

The Cevichos alone are worth a visit. We'll definitely be coming back! We decided to head to Lower Greenville as part of a night out and decided on Apothecary. We made a reservation for 8.45pm and the place was busy but not packed. The space is beautiful, dimly-lit, and intimate with couches or small tables. We were seated at one of the small tables and both decided to sit on the couch side of the table. Most couples were doing the same and the tables were spread out enough so that we all felt we had enough space. We started with two drinks (Private Barrel Old Fashioned and French Kissing) and two appetizers (Oysters and the Cevichos) . The drinks came out with the Oysters. The Old Fashioned was solid; the French Kissing was a beautiful drink and delicious. The Oysters were served with a touch of salsa, and they were excellent. We ordered a second round of drinks (the Loch'D Inn and another French Kissing) and they arrived with the Cevichos. I'm not a huge fan of scotch, but the Loch'D Inn was very good, with the sweet foam on the drink being fantastic (when my date went to the restroom, I tried to get more of it with my fork it was that good... I really needed a spoon ). Now to the Cevichos, which were the highlight of the night. They were ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, and I will come back just for those. They were savory while also having a nice citrus flavor... just delicious. The only downside is that you have to eat them somewhat quickly as the chips on the bottom will get soggy if left too long. We closed the night with the Japanese Elotes and a Pekin Tom cocktail, both of which were delicious. The Elotes had so much flavor. Regarding the Pekin Tom, I appreciate that the smoke had a light flavor as the smoke in so many smoked cocktails overpowers the drink itself. That was not the case here -- really well done. The service is also top notch. Our server came by often, but never interrupted while we were deep in conversation. Another gentleman also checked on us twice. I don't know with certainty but I think he was either the manager or the bartender. He always asked about the drinks and made excellent recommendations.

    We have now been to both sides of apothecary and we love it. I love that you can make reservations…read moreonline, which is really probably necessary bcause both sides are relatively small. Our first time we went to alchemy, the service and drinks were great. We even got a couple apps for happy hour. The pics are from that visiti. Our second time we went to archive, which has a more traditional feel. And quite a bit later, and probably a better conversation area. How drinks have some classic? But there's definitely some unique ones. We tried a hot dog water, which is not for everybody. And probably not for us but love that they are getting adventurous. We also had a recommendation from the server for a drink that tasted like pozole... I would have never picked that, but it was delicious. Highly recommend for drinks.

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.

The hotel property is like four legs under the table - a great location, a great hotel experience, a great restaurant experience, and a entertainment experience (The Mansion Bar). At least one leg has been kicked out, one is suffering. The Mansion Bar used to have a great recipe for success - proven by how busy and regular the customers were and loyal (or was), and the top tier talent that was routine for 10+ years. Me and my friends have a relationship with the long time staff as customers as well as the excellent music talent. The cause? Not precisely sure but I think it's new ownership, at the very least a new Food & Bev manager. I also know the staff is very upset about these changes and the relationships with the repeat music talent is now a mess. I wouldn't be surprise if the staff start leaving. I'm hoping whomever is making these decisions can revert back to what was working. Dallas has a lot of great venues that will fill this void.
