We started our date day here on Sunday around 5 pm. There was no one else there when we arrived. The inside is small with few stools at the bar and a few tables as you walk in. The bartender, Marco, was super nice and helpful. He said they had a patio but we didn't go check it out. They have a nice selection of Tequila which made me really happy. We had a couple of drinks along with a Michelada and beer. Marco gave some suggestions around the food so we ordered a couple of tacos and the chicharrones and guacamole. The food was good and the drinks were good. The prices were reasonable. The music playing over the speakers was upbeat and added to the vibe. We ended up hanging out for about 2-2.5 hours. We spent about $140 pre-tip. Marco said Friday and Saturday are really crazy crowded (they're open until 2). We will definitely visit again. read more

Cool little spot, a little small for my liking. I ordered some tacos and a drink. The drink I ordered looked nothing like the picture on the menu, I proceeded to ask the bartender about it and he said it was said drink. Kinda confusing but overall 7/10 read more

Great service and such a cute vibe! Definitely a fun spot to hang out with the girls. The ambiance is perfect, and the service was on point. Shoutout to Marcos the bartender -- he's awesome and made the experience even better! read more

This is a speakeasy so its inside a taco restaurant. They have drinks and food. Known for mezcal/tequila drinks. I had chicken tacos. So delicious! Got the negroni. It was pretty good. I was just disappointed that most of the drinks were really sugary and sweet. The staff is really nice and they even have a dj on fri/saturdays. read more

Came here with a friend wanting to try a new speakeasy. It's definitely speakeasy, it's inside the bridal shop. It's pretty small inside but they have a lot of options for drinks. Like lost speakeasy's they have a variety of different drink options you can choose from. The empanadas were amazing and different from original ones. Definitely worth a try read more

I forgot the bartender and the bar manager's name.. but they were super hospitable and very welcoming. So to who ever worked Sunday late afternoon cheers to y'all! My friend and I stumbled upon this place after eating at their restaurant next door El Come Tacos. We wanted something a bit stronger and googled for bars near us not knowing that this beautiful Mezcal speakeasy was right next door! I haven't really been a fan of tequila but The bartender made me a drink called a "Vampiro" which changed my mind. The drinks were fantastic and their choice of glassware/clay drink sets are amazing. The michelada has to be in my top 5 ever, and the vampiro was something I never thought I would like. It's my new favorite drink right after a good espresso martini. read more

For about a year (since my last review), La Viuda was OUR spot. We went all the time. They knew us by name. We never ordered off the menu -- just asked Hugo to "make us something," and it was always excellent, whether it was a spirit-forward sipper or something herbal and refreshing. He quickly learned our preferences and knocked it out of the park every time. Eventually, it got to the point where Hugo and Eduardo never let us leave the place without a round of free mezcal shots. It truly felt like home, and not just because it's walking distance for us. We loved this place, our little neighborhood bar where, yes, everybody knows your name. Things changed last fall, when Hugo suddenly left. By all accounts, it was his choice to leave. Absolutely heartbreaking. Things haven't quite been the same since he left (and maybe that's why he left...). Obviously, there's the factor of not being able to just walk in and tell him to make us whatever drinks he felt like making. But there's been a lot of staff turnover. They don't know us when we walk in the door. Also, if we don't get there early enough, it's often too crowded to stay...which is GREAT for La Viuda, but kinda sad for us. The last time we were there, we made a point of getting there very early and were able to get seats at the bar (our favorite -- we love chatting with the bartenders to learn more about the drinks they're making, the ingredients they're using, and also just who they are as people). By getting bar seats this time, we met Saul (pronounced Saoul), who told us he was one of the original bartenders there and is now back as manager. He made us some great on-menu drinks and some great off-menu drinks. We enjoyed chatting with him. So, maybe this is a new beginning for us and La Viuda...we'll see. For now, it's down a star (literally because it's just missing Hugo's star power...ha, see what I did there), but I'm hopeful. read more

Love this little speakeasy bar-hidden gem in Dallas for sure! Their logo is outside and what looks like a bridal boutique. Once you walk in it has a super chill vibe with a cool looking bar display. Some high tables and seats at the bar. Tiny but decent size. They also have a outdoor patio in the back which is nice. They offer food from the el come taco (right next door) I definitely recommend, their tacos are legit! I ordered the viuda negra margarita and my husband got the si güey (seasonal cocktail) both were delicious. Love how they give you your tab. Super cool lol All in all I give them a 5/5. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Checked this one place out with my fiancé. Got there early and got seats in the corner. We didn't get anything to eat since we just had dinner. The wooden bench we sat on wasn't comfortable. The first drink that I had (lite up with cucumbers) was yummy and refreshing. The second drink I had, Chapurrado wasn't good and was in lame plastic cup. I wish we had checked out the patio. read more

The first time I visited this speakeasy, I had a great time. The Labios Calientes was a great spicy margarita and their Mezcal Negroni was good too. I recently visited again and I did not like their Verano 2023 drinks. The majority of the menu is sweet instead of spirit forward. I ordered the Cien Años because the waitress said it closely resembled a Manhattan, but it was also sweet. I had high hopes for the Chamoy Manhattan, but it felt more like an alcoholic mangonada. I wouldn't call it a Manhattan. I really liked this place so maybe i'll visit again when they rotate their menu or stick to their classics. logistics: We came around 7:30 pm on st. patrick's day. The bar was full but the tables were majority open. Most of the people were eating as well as drinking. There's parking in front and I haven't had any trouble finding a spot. Lots of cars going in and out so just be patient. read more

If you haven't had the opportunity to come here; jump in your car and meet me RIGHT NOW!!! The vibe is eclectic! Fridays and Saturdays the DJs set the the mood that make you feel wanna drop, lock and pop. I love that your able to order the tacos and food from the neighboring restaurant, which is known for some of the best tacos in Dalllas. If your looking a more chill vibe stop by on hump day or Thursday and chat it up with some knowledgeable bartenders. La Viuda Negra is a stable and I'm fortunate to have been able to make this one of my regular stops for great food and drinks. read more

Love this bar! Nicely hidden but amazing drinks and vibe. Great for after parties and just to chill out. The road to and from is sketchy but you will be rewarded. The cushions and seats can be dirty, stained from drink spills so do watch out. read more

Great bar! It's definitely small inside and the bar area gets pretty crowded. There is a cool back patio where you can hang out (when it's not scorching hot outside). My favorite things about this place: Great drinks & vibe They play beautiful (classic) black and white Mexican movies on the wall upon entry (Pedro Infante, if you know, you know). The delicious Gordita's from next door (you can order them with the waitress) Least favorite: The front door / window decor is not appealing and is absolutely misleading... The bar is tight/small read more

I previously wrote a review for what I thought was "El Come Taco"...I was thinking that it was the same business since they are interconnected by a little hallway between the kitchen of El Come Taco and the restrooms. We'll, it is the same ownership but they are different businesses (again, although they are interconnected). We'll, my review specifically for La Viuda Negra is pretty much the same one as my first one: WHAT A GREAT PLACE! It is a tiny little bar with dimmed lights and a very good selection of mezcales, Mexican beers and even pulque (distilled pulque is known as tequila, pulque could be translated as agave beer and it is really good!). They have a good menu with really good Mexican dishes and you can also order from the taqueria (you order there, they'll bring you the food to the bar). The service is very good, all the staff is very friendly and ready to answer to all your questions (if you are not Mexican, I'm sure you'll have a few questions). The atmosphere is very nice and relaxing... We definitely need more places like this! read more

La Viuda Negra - One of the most underrated Mexican dishes: The almighty Pambazo (with a beer and a mezcal on the side). - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great new speakeasy with tequila-bar flavor. The ceramic water mugs and carafe were nice touches of Mexico! Not exactly a mixology bar, but the bartender is super friendly and accommodating within the limits of his inventory. To wit; great selection of clear liquors like mezcal and vodkas - but no absinthe or infused ETOH, and very limited whiskeys. They do have a small tincture of absinthe flavor, but don't expect a mojito or any muddled drinks. Do, however, expect great service with what he has. Speakeasy entrance & ambiance: 5/5 Staff service and attitude: 5/5 Onsite parking: 5/5 Bar stock: 4/5 We liked it a lot, and I would go 4.5 stars if I could. We'll be back! read more

Love this hidden gem. I get the pollo a la mexicana taco and a margarita straight up!

One of my fave bars in Dallas - great speakeasy, well-crafted drinks, and insanely good tacos connected next door. Good specials - ask the bartenders for recs, they have not steered me wrong yet, and they will make you something fun off-menu if you tell them what you like! It's a really cool spot, perfect for a date. read more

Got the $40 mezcal flight which consisted of only 3 small pours. No explanation of what mezcal they poured me was given except for the bartender quickly telling me which with the very loud music and the soft spoken bartender I was not able to hear. I was very disappointed the mezcals were not of a very high quality. Compared to Las Almas Rotas Mezcaleria near Fair Park, this place is overpriced and under performing. read more

I'm hesitant to right this review for fear everyone else will discover how amazing is...but alas, here goes. Speakeasy feel, brilliantly crafted mezcal and tequila forward cocktails, and an unpretentious crowd? Yes please. When you arrive there are two ways to enter. 1. Enter through El Come taco, walk to the counter and turn left. You'll pass the bathrooms and see the bar. 2. You will see a storefront that looks like a bridal shop. Enter there- that's the speakeasy fun. Upon entering, you'll see a bar the size of a hallway. There is a bank of seats with four or so cocktail tables. There are also seats at the bar. All drinks are ordered at the bar- no table/seat service. The menu is small but curated with a little something for everyone. If you're a lover of the old fashioned, the Amarte a la Antiqua is for you. If you love sweet and spicy, grab the Pancho Ancho, if you want something just fun, grab the El Paletero, which comes complete with a delicious paleta from Encanto pops. This is a place where you will want to taste your way through the menu. You can watch the care the bartenders use in creating your drink, complete with beautiful ingredients and fun, Instagramable glassware and presentation. Side tip, while they have food, you can also grab items from El Come next door to try to stave off your hangover. read more

Attended the special event Happy Hour with Ojo de Tigre hosted by El Come Taco this past Monday. A hidden gem in downtown Dallas! I loved this place!! I was hesitant at first since the exterior didn't look that inviting as it was in an older strip mall, but the inside was decorated well and the outdoor area in the back was so cute! They had a live singer, Helio Portales his singing was beautiful and added to the vibe. Ordered the Tiger Lily cocktail, it was strong but flavorful! I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Tried this place after dinner since it was near the area we were headed to (lower Greenville). Area surrounding it was kinda sketch but nothing too crazy. My friend and I got this vampiro drink that was too tart and too much tajin it just wasn't it for me. I guess it was too early for the dj to be there on a Saturday which was 8/9ish when we went again it was after dinner. They just had a projector with YouTube playing so it wasn't anything to make us stay for another drink or so so we left. Only two ppl at the bar and a group at the table to the left so super slow. Maybe I'd try it again but go at a later time but just kinda eh been there and saw already so why would I. read more

Oh La Viuda, how I miss your happy hour. Location and parking: nestled in a Fitzhugh strip mall next to El Come Taco and Zalat. The door is a bridal shop (it's a speakeasy) next to El Come-- these two are also connected! Parking lot is small but we've always managed to find a spot. Atmosphere: Cool. Black and white films projected onto a wall, smooth music, dimly lit atmosphere, and cute (and clean!) bathrooms. Food and drink: food is from El Come next door-- tacos, flautas, and guac is solid. The best part? The drinks. We never make regular old fashions after tasting the mezcal old fashioned here. Drink are inventive and fun-- a few summers ago, they included paletas! This is one of the few places in Dallas that serves pulque and the bartenders are always willing to chat. Hands down one of my favorite bars in Dallas. read more

Really nice strong drinks and good food. Like how it's a cute little nook. The server and bartender were also super nice.

Amazing drinks, fun atmosphere and bartenders are always friendly and knowledgeable. Love this spot.

I wanted to try some new ingredients in tacos and I heard about this place, overview of it all seem nice online but due to everything it was pick up. I order the cricket's I was asked if I wanted strawberry or mangoes kind. Already confused I just ask for both before leaving the restaurant I did not check my order. It was more then disappointing. There was two tacos and one of the tacos was completely empty just tortilla. I will upload the picture. I did not think the flavors were bad at all. I still ate ONE taco but I'm trying to support small and local Business the least you can do is fill the order correctly. read more
