Jettison is an unassuming cocktail bar in a busy commercial area, that is easy to overlook. We rang the doorbell for entrance and were transported into the dark, intimate space. Can't believe I've missed this place so many times when I'm the area! We were sitting at the bar so service was fast, though not very friendly, with plenty of showmanship to entertain. These are true mixologist and can make anything but we decided to work through the cocktail menu. My fav drink of the night was my Match Mucho, never had anything like it, but it grew on me with each sip. These are not guzzling drinks, definitely sip and savor. I didn't like all of the drinks (couldn't get halfway through the Red Headed Oaxacan), but I like the variety and that my palate was challenged. Flavors of all the cocktails were complex with many layers. And the vibe of this place was adult, and low-key. Serious cocktail connoisseurs need to check this place out! (Note: Their focus is cocktails, limited snack menu in the form of cheese and meat charcuterie board options) read more

Came here on a Saturday night with a friend. It was an overall okay experience. The bar itself is very small, and reservations are required due to the limited seating. I must say it looks a lot bigger online than in person. The crowd seemed to be either a group of friends or couples who were a bit older, late 30's and upwards. I think this place is great if you wanted a nightcap or something very very chill. It could also work for a simple date night, but anything besides that I'm afraid it would be a buss. read more

Jettison - Tamayo & Kumquat Bees Knees - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Super romantic vibes, cozy atmosphere. They only take reservations, but it's so that the quality of service isn't lost trying to keep up with too many patrons which is really nice, you can want to order a drink and then boom they are making it instead of having to wait who knows how long for another drink. They are delicious and specialty/crafts drink and not as pricey as one would think for Dallas! We love this joint! read more

To find this bar, enter Houndstooth Coffee and go through the door behind the barista counter. It's a "speakeasy" but is pretty plainly labeled outside. They've wisely closed direct access from the outside door (or at least it wasn't an option the night we stopped in), which makes it feel a little more "speakeasy"-ish. They claim you need reservations, but our group of SIX (which filled about a third of the place -- it's tiny) was able to walk right in and be seated around 7ish on Saturday evening. Perhaps reservations are more necessary later in the evening? I also hope the bar is staffed by more than one bartender later in the evening, because there was only one while we were there, and he struggled to get all our drinks out in a timely manner (somewhat understandably, because the drinks are pretty complicated, but still). We all passed around each cocktail and had pretty strong consensus of opinions among the six of us, which were as follows: Concrete Jungle: Our hands-down favorite, with an awesomely unique combination of black sesame, Benedictine, and orgeat elevating the components of a whiskey sour (Balcones rye, lemon, and egg white). One of These Nights: My second favorite. A slightly citrusy drink that's on what I call the "manly" side of the cocktail world. Amaro Lucano, cognac, dry curacao, lemon, orgeat, coffee, and star anise...lots of deep, rich, strong flavors that work surprisingly well together. Éscorpion: This drink may look silly/girly/touristy, but don't pass it by too quickly. It's very refreshing and not too sweet. Tequila, mezcal, apricot, lemon, orange, orgeat...and FIRE. Get your cameras ready when this one lands on the table. Matcha Mucho: Another extremely refreshing option in terms of flavor, but it's a heavier drink (texture is thicker) than the Éscorpion. In other words, it's refreshing but not light. Mezcal, matcha, coconut, lime, and Gran Classico. The Mo Mo: I never order martinis, but this combination of tequila, sake, green chartreuse, and peach was absolutely delightful. It's definitely on the sweet side. Tom Kha Gai Guys: Our least favorite. Too much going on here. Gin, mezcal, St. Germain, coconut, lime, chili oil, cilantro...I mean, all of these things are really nice on their own or in smaller combinations, but all of them together should never happen again. All of the drinks are about $14, which seems fair given their complexity and unique flavor profiles. The vibe is very retro and fun. My only complaint is that they serve basically no food. A little more of a bar snacks selection would be appreciated. It definitely seems like the sort of place that should at least serve some mixed nuts for free with your drink (you know, old school), but I'd also like to see a few more substantial options too. Regardless, I'd definitely go back. read more

One of my favorite bars in the city..great attention to detail when making and present drinks to guests.

Sit at the bar and watch the magic of the creations. Culinary science comes to life with the delicious, decadent perfect pairings in any of the cocktails on the menu. It's also so fun to watch them hand carve the ice cubes. My favorite speakeasy in Dallas! read more

Jettison - The Matcha Mucho - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Nice place. Small, but not crowded or noisy; we could actually enjoy conversation without screaming at one another. We got immediate service and our waiter was very nice and had a sense of humor. Took time to explain components of a drink to a friend, promised she'd enjoy it and he definitely delivered. Would absolutely go back, it's a really chill spot; classy and not pretentious. read more

Jettison is an intimate cocktail bar in the middle of a busy shopping plaza. We made same day reservations and rang the doorbell for entrance. The space was dark and intimate and perfect for a spontaneous date night. I've been here several times, and each time the drinks have been phenomenal. The flavors of the cocktails are carefully crafted and complex and I enjoy trying out the seasonal drinks. There are also drinks available year round and my favorite are the Matcha Mucho and the pink drink. Unfortunately, the phenomenal drinks and the ambience is ruined by the service. Each time I have come, service has been incredibly slow. The last time I came here on a date night, we were seated in a corner away from the bar. It would have been totally fine. However, our waters were hardly ever refilled and it took over an hour to order a second drink even though the bar was hardly busy. We were sitting in a corner and the servers never checked on us. Rather, I had to walk up to them to ask if we could order a drink. I will come back for the cocktails...but they certainly have room to improve with regards to their service. read more

This isn't you regular bar, this is more of what a speak easy once was. It's a cozy little spot where the lights are dimmed and people meet for drinks and little snacks. You don't come here expected to watch the game, eat wings and have a beer. With that said, I met a few friends here, it was my first time but they are sorta regulars. I glanced over the menu and finally decided on the bees knees, more so because that was my grandmothers favorite little saying. We were given glasses of water while we waited for our drinks and we ordered the meat plate and olives (but those never made it to the table). Everyone drink looked very sophisticated, if you can imagine a drink being so classy. For me, the bees knees was very lemon forward, it had a nice amount of liquor in it, however it had a very medicinal after taste . . . But I finished it! Some of the other ladies got the un-Americana and they raves about it. Kinda made me wish I had gotten that instead but that's what next times are for. Everyone enjoyed the meat tray. The only thing everyone agreed about was not being too crazy about the salami. Overall a nice experience and friendly staff! read more

Many a bar I've been to have claimed to be a unique experience with handcrafted cocktails you won't find elsewhere. Jettison doesn't even need to claim it; Jettison just is it, and you can tell from the moment you walk in the doors. The place itself isn't anything extravagant, but it's just what it needs to be honestly, which I absolutely prefer. The bartenders are well-mannered and know how to make a mad drink. I got the Fino Punch, a glorious concoction and a beautiful look as well (see picture), and if I could've stayed longer, I'm pretty sure I would've tried about all of them. Really, there are so many neat combinations and drinks that you've truly not tried before. Jettison doesn't have anything to prove, but it still proves it's top notch. I'm sad I don't live here because I'd be a regular. Put your phone down now and go. read more

I went here for the first time with friends and fell in love. You must have a reservation because it's pretty small but very intimate. The drinks are SO GOOD. It's one of those places where if the date is going well that you'd want to pop in here for a night cap because it's very lowkey but has the vibe for sure! read more

4 of us came here at the suggestion of our waiter at Coopers, where we had a steak dinner on Saturday night. It was a great recommendation. It's a small bar where they take their drinks pretty seriously. We snagged a table. Service was efficient. A lot of excellent drinks were served. My favorite was the Concrete Jungle, which has apparently won some awards. It's also a great song : ) I like the version the Specials wrote but there are other good ones too. Jam out and drink up but jettison any fears you have about trying this place. Just do it. read more

Expensive drinks but well worthwhile . I would come back very classy. Bar tenders take time with their craft!

Great neighborhood bar. Knowledgeable staff, and perfect mixology happening nightly. Jettison is small, unpretentious, and cozy... it is also, without a doubt, the best bar in Dallas. read more

Jettison - Yoichi Single Malt. My first Japanese whiskey. There will be more. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Can't say I'd recommend. Prices were fair but service, ambiance and drink quality were off. - Service: very friendly, but disorganized. Took a long while for our drinks and two separate people asked for our order. - drinks: I'm a gin martini guy. I get them everywhere and frequently. They use botanist - great gin. But the glass wasn't chilled and they used way, way too much vermouth. So much so it overpowered the gin. I'd expect this at an average restaurant or a sports bar- very forgivable. But at a place like this, where you need to ring a doorbell to get in and it takes so long to get your drink- mighty disappointing. I appreciate they asked what accompanyment I wanted: olive, twist etc. - ambiance: very cozy, good lighting. Good chair to bar top ratio. But the music was terribly annoying. Some sort of finger chimes that penetrated any sort of conversation and just made you wish someone would realize it's annoying and turn it off. read more

Jettison is my favorite cocktail bar in Dallas. Their menu consists of the classics as well as innovative drinks. I love that some of their drinks are inspired by Asian flavors such as matcha and sesame. The glass selection and presentation of each drink are nicely done, too. The best part is the pricing. I've noticed that the average price for cocktails in Dallas at the popular establishments is $15+ which are NY/SF prices but with subpar quality. However, that is not the case with Jettison. 10/10 recommend if you are a cocktail enthusiast. Be sure to make a reservation because there are limited seats or come early and sit at the bar to watch all the action! read more

This is something of a speakeasy sort. Very small, cozy, intimate with high quality cocktails, good selection of wines and beers. I believe they also own Houndstooth which was adjacent to it. If you are planning to come here with a group of more than 4; you may want to go elsewhere. It's very tight in there. The cocktails were all tasty and Instagram worthy. The Bees Knees and Earl'd Fashion were my top choices. read more

Chill, great music, great drinks. Not a place to be loud and obnoxious. A great place to catch up with old friends.

Cute (very tiny) lounge tucked away. I went on a Wednesday night with a friend to have drinks. The two bartenders were very nice and the music was cool. Although the place was very dark with a dim lighting and candles, it was cute. There are about two lounge couches and 2 or 3 tables. Very chill if you're looking to have a drink or two with a date. read more

Excellent mixologists, rotating menu, great ambiance. It is best for a date night or small group. It is a very intimate environment. Love it here! read more

This place is awesome! Really classy decor. Speakeasy environment. Nice selection of cocktails. The bartender here is really nice. And can invent drinks on the fly for you based on your taste. Definitely worth a try. I got a mocktail which he made. And it was divine and my friend enjoyed his cocktail as well. read more

Have come to Jettison a few times. Great drinks, but expect to wait for them. We are accustomed to this. Tonight was especially disappointing though. I understand busy, and in an honest attempt to help I came up to the bar to order to save them the trouble of walking to another room. Before I even made words, I was quickly reprimanded loudly and publicly by a bartender about how I was cutting the line and needed to return to my seat. I was so taken aback by the unprofessional and embarrassing scolding I had just received that I struggled finding my words when George stepped in to help me despite this occurrence. I have returned for my last time. Drinks are good, but no drink is worth being scolded for. I have travelled from Allen a few times for what was once my favorite bar. a disappointing experience to put it lightly. Bartending is more than making great drinks. Keeping your cool when busy is an imperative part of customer service, and this was one of the least professional displays tonight. For the embarrassment, I will not return. Thank you for the memories. read more

What an completely attractive place. From the interior design, the service, the cocktail menu, the drinks, music, to everything. It is obvious that so much care and thought goes in to every single things that is done here. No wonder there was not an open seat at the bar top. The striking back bar lined perfectly with bottles of mescal being lit overhead. A coifed cocktail artist in his garb, crafting each drink with precision and focus. (As well as training for an international cocktail competition in Italy). The smooth jazz welcomed me in to the dimly lit, intimate setting hidden within Sylvan Thirty. It was cozy and inviting. I was immediately given a cocktail menu and a crystal glass of water, while I took a seat on the available leather couch. After some direction from the owner to some of the stand-outs and favorites I ordered my Earl'ed Fashioned. It's a twist on the classic old fashioned - the twist being smoked earl grey syrup and maple. I was really upset that I couldn't taste either of those competes in the drink, as hard as I tried. And at the prices they charge, I was really hoping I would have something that totally wowed me. A perfect date night spot, I actually came with a girl friend. I tried her mescal based drink and it was very good! I would recommend any of their mezcal based drinks, as it is their specialty. This place was low key, yet filled with other Oak Cliff locals and familiar faces, which was my favorite part. A true gem within Dallas. read more

What a supper swanky spot!! If you're into specialty cocktails and appreciate the artistry of cocktail making, then this place will really suit you. It's a little hard to find but it's tucked right beside a super cute coffee shop. It has dimly lit light; perfect for a date night. Our waiter was super nice and gave us some great recommendations. I really appreciated that they made a few of the cocktail ingredients in-house. The only "down" side to this place is the size. It's a small area so you may or may not be able to get a seat. They accommodated us by placing us in the coffee shop (I guess they are owned by the same person) until a spot was available so it wasn't a big deal. I really appreciated that they made me a nice drink off the menu as well. Shows they really know what they're doing. Definitely try this place if you want to try a cool new spot in Dallas. read more

Another cute mixology bar. It's reaaaaal quaint and probably only holds comfortably 20 people. Good for a two man business meet or date night, or a few friends hanging. I mean, a few. The only downfall is they don't do Vodka on no level. ( hence the But never the less they still can whoop up another good expensive drink. read more

Small and cozy! Fantastic drinks every time. I don't think I've had one that wasn't amazing. The people there are also super friendly. Highly recommend!!! Just make sure to make a reservation if it's on the weekends. read more

I am a big fan of speakeasy cocktail bars, so when I saw Jettison pop up on the radar I knew I had to give it a shot. It did not disappoint. Reservations are required, but they're super simple to make online. When you arrive, you go through the coffee shop attached to it. The cocktail bar has good lighting for a date night, and has very limited seating! The drinks themselves are pretty good - their menu isn't as extensive as I had hoped, but every drink we had was made well. If you enjoy cocktails, I suggest trying this place out. read more

I came here pre COVID alone on a Friday night. And had fun??!! This bar is supposed to be a speakeasy but there's a sign right next to Houndstooth. The bar is dimly lit and relatively small, giving it a more comfortable, low key vibe. The bartender was very nice and gave high quality cocktails. I had the bee's knees twice and then the fino punch. Both were the best cocktails I've had ever. EVER. I couldn't recommend this spot enough. Service and drinks are excellent! read more

Figured I'd try this place out on Friday the 13th, and it was a great decision! Wanted to get out, but still have a chill and relaxing atmosphere; I was welcomed in as soon as I stepped through the door. I enjoy how small and intimate the space is because it gave me the opportunity to actually speak with the bartender and ask questions about their exquisite cocktails. I had the Bees nees and the Fino Punch, which ended up being my favorite! Also the meat board was a tasty side snack!! read more

One of the best bars in Dallas can be found in Jettison. The vibe is upscale yet casual and one of the hipper bars around. The tunes are on point and played to a level that sits just under conversation. The small bar top belies the immense capabilities of those behind it. These are abaolutely some of the most innovative and tasty cocktails you will ever taste. read more

My illiterate self first read this as the Jetson's and I proceeded to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day...but if you liked that fun show when you were a kiddo, you'll love this little bar. Upon walking in, you might seem out of place, since you'll just see a table right at the door, but the bartenders and servers are incredibly nice, wave to you and welcome you in. There's not quite a dress code for an intimate bar like this - it's almost like a small speakeasy - dim, small, but still kind of spacious in its own way. Again, service was awesome. Everything on the menu looked great. Three short columns of cocktails from light to dark, escalating with more liquor forward tastes as you go down each column. I had the earl'd fashioned bc I'm a whiskey person and boy was it strong. I nursed that baby back to health! Ha. Friend had the mojito-type cocktail and she said it was quite refreshing and not too sweet. The place wasn't too loud as a normal bar and sometimes speakeasies do get. Really loved the setting. There were about four or five larger tables for two or more and a couple of floating seating areas and a bar. Perfect for a good catchup sesh with a friend or a nice pre-dinner/post-dinner drink with an s.o. I'm liking fwd to coming back when I come back to visit Dallas! read more

Know what's funny? I've been coming to this area for years and couldn't find this place without a friend making me a detailed map! The entrance is very discreet and it's worth finding!

Jettison is THE place to get the best cocktail of your life. You must try the Central 75 if you love fizzy and bubbly drinks, and Good Morning Jerez if you like sweet with a cut of cinnamon. The guys are all super nice, and welcoming. It's a little upscale, but not so much that it's uncomfortable. A speakeasy of sorts. It's RIGHT in between Tacodeli and Houndstooth. The door that's open next to Houndstooth that you're looking at is 90% the door you need to walk through GO-NOW! read more
