Want to feel like you are part of the COOL crowd?! Well here's your chance! This is truly a hidden gem. Cozy, cool and excellent bartender. We had lite bites to go with our drinks and I loved I could hear my husband talk! So may places are too loud. Early, late, anytime place to go for dinner! You won't be disappointed. read more

Such a quaint restaurant...... but the food was lackluster and the service is really lacking.

I love the food and ambience of this place, but the noise and close tables aren't great for convos. We've been coming here often but loving it less and less. Tonight I ordered a $13 glass of Chardonnay and delivered the smallest pour I've ever received . Pic below. read more

Retro, friendly, happy cool vibes, best martini I've ever had (thx Mattie!). It's a secret little place that you'd never know existed without stumbling upon it or word of mouth. . When entering,, it's like stepping back in time 50 years, almost like a speak easy with a front door. The menu is also very cool and has a vast variety of fare. Awesome spot! read more

Great local restaurant with a cool lounge vibe. Nice tight menu with solid diverse options all expertly prepared

The Lounge Here is hidden gem! Located on the Far East side of Dallas. Feels like you are moving away from all the nice places and around the entrance of a sketchy location & when you open the door, there it is all in its hidden glory, like you are entering a magic hideout. Beautiful designed restaurant & great ambience. Service was outstanding. Extremely friendly & courteous staff. Snacks were definitely good, as we were there for only snacks & drinks. Loved every bit of it. A perfect place for a date night. Anniversary spent well. Will definitely go back. This place tops one of my favourite places. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS. read more

Atmosphere is super cool. Love the vibes. Almost always get the chicken fried chicken and the brussels. Drinks are great.

You must make a reservation because this lounge is petite, fitting maybe 20-25 tables plus the bar. It is also very popular! We had a reservation for 5 and still waited about 15 minutes ( not a big deal). Once seated service was excellent, friendly, competent and fast. We ordered the shrimp& grits, chicken fried ribeye and the halibut with succotash. All plates were "licked clean". The halibut had a nice crisp finish but was moist and delicious, sitting atop a mound of cubed butternut squash layered with broccolini and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds. Divine! Cannot speak for the other dishes but they were enjoyed. The ambience is cool, low key and a mix of retro and modern. Will return next time I am back in Dallas read more

Last Friday, my husband and I tried to come in for dinner. But we were greeted by a rude and aggressive hostess. It started with her stopping me while I walking to bar to ask if we enter through the correct entrance. She stopped and said what are you doing? Are you going to bar? Very off putting, especially since she didn't announce who she was. Then she argued with me about me putting our names on the virtual waitlist, resulting in me showing her the text message and email confirmation. After those interactions we decided to leave. She made it very clear we were not welcomed. I emailed the restaurant directly but they didn't respond. read more

Key Lime for desert! Best way to go. Absolutely delicious! We love Lounge Here, service, food and ambiance.

We went here because a friend recommended it. It doesn't seem like a lot on the outside but the vibe is good on the inside. I'm giving it a 1 star because the fish gave my boyfriend food poisoning and his birthday was the next day My mac and cheese was good though read more

This place here is a hidden gem. I say that because finding this place is almost like trying to find a speakeasy which made the experience even better. Service was also amazing, friendly, and efficient. Let's start with drinks. They were to die for! The mule I had was perfectly balanced considering I didn't want a traditional one and the Hemingway Daiquiri tasted like Christmas itself! The food was also glorious. My boyfriend never eats hummus because he's a "true carnivore" yet, he ate half, if not more of my hummus last night! That says a lot. I love this place in all aspects and will be back again soon! Side note: The eggnog cocktail here was a perfect dessert drink finisher to enjoy after the meal. read more

I've never stepped inside a less assuming local spot and been more blown away by what was inside. Lounge Here has ambiance for miles. The first time we stepped inside the front door, our collective jaws hit the floor. Further, they couldn't have hired a better waitstaff. Every single time we come in, we feel like we're being waited on by close friends. The food is on another level, and the drinks are outstanding. This place gets it, and we'll be back time and time again. Thanks so much for bringing such an amazing spot to East Dallas. It's absolutely the best kept secret, but I'm telling everyone. read more

Great food and craft cocktails! Has a very cool speakeasy vibe. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique bar experience in Dallas. read more

Cozy, swanky, friendly! Good atmosphere, small cozy space. I didn't order food so no comments there. We Asked for an off menu drinks. They were tasty. Talented bartenders! Will try again read more

Great drinks, service and ambience but my food was salty. I ordered the mushroom pasta and I really wish it was the same as it was a few years ago read more

Great service. Relaxed vibe. The food is always on point. An east Dallas favorite for sure

Love this place! Great ambiance. Cozy and cool. Good drinks. Conveniently located. Low key.

We found this local dive through a friend and what a treat it is! Perfect in size, beautiful drinks and delightful food are only three things to count on towards the endless list of perfect that is Lounge Here. This was where we fell in love with our neighborhood and have spent many anniversaries. When our baby isn't with us, we make it a must have to stop by and see our old stomping ground. read more

Lounge Here.... The name says it all. Lounge Here is the breath of fresh air that you take when you step out the door for your early evening walk after a long work day. It humbly provides an environment that encourages your tensed shoulders to drop, your diaphragm to expand and take breaths more deeply, and your furrowed brows/ clenched jaw to gently ease up. The fact that it's discrete makes it all the more charming; like discovering a hidden gem. Inside, you'll find luxurious yet cozy leather couches, modern lamps that exude dim lighting, and retro seating encircling the bar. I had the pleasure of eating solo on their back patio which was adorned with stacked succulents on the far end, and wooden (yet comfy) tables. The space provided a perfect nook for me to enjoy reading a chapter of my book while I inhaled their slightly crunchy, moderately soft, glazed Brussels sprouts. The best part of the experience was the wait staff who were attentive, warm, and had a soothing way of communicating. Even though I was the only one on the back patio they checked to make sure everything was okay with my experience multiple times and I cannot applaud Lounge Here enough for that kind, generous spirit. Overall, my experience at Lounge Here was a true gift!! read more

First off the vibes were super off from the jump. I came here at 4:10 and it was super sterile inside with the staff all on their phones minus one guy who was doing work instead of a hello one of them side eyes me and says " no way it's 4:00" ... terrible customer service. I stand there dumbfounded for a whole minute wondering why none of the staff is greeting me or saying anything to me. And that's until one of them gets up all annoyed and says " kitchen opens at 5" I took that as a gtfo so I spun on my heel and left. This really sucked because I live no where near this place and I've been wanting to try it out for a while now since I love supporting the record store next to it. My first time will be my last. Those people were so nasty for no reason and I wonder if it's because I'm a minority. Oh well... :( read more

What an experience! Hidden gem, literally! Delicious food, great ambiance, and excellent staff. I had the deviled eggs as an appetizer and the chicken fried steak and a side of fries (which was not needed as the chicken fried steak was huge) and I'm not sure how they did it but I ate all of the shaved brussel sprouts on top and I hate brussel sprouts! Can't wait to go back and explore the menu! read more

A hidden gem FOREAL. this place is so cool and cute.. great for a date night or a girls night of course!

THE best burger I've ever had in my life, hands down. I ordered the Here burger. Perfectly cooked, mouthwatering.. Not much else to say that others haven't. The beer selection is lacking, but that's not really what this place is known for. They're all about their cocktails which I'll definitely be trying next time. I'm serious when I say this. I had to eat the burger slowly just so I could savor every bite.. Just go. You won't regret it. read more

Lounge Here - Sitting area - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

When you pull up to the address, just find the door and go in. It doesn't look like much from the outside. It literally only has a small neon sign, that is about 12" tall and 18" wide that says "here". I was almost expecting to knock at the door and a little window in the door opens up and they ask you for the password before they let you in. The place isn't that big, but it's not crowded either. They sat us down and the I don't know what I thought pimento cheese is but we tried it here and it's tasty. A little on the salty side, but that's why you have chips and veggies to go with it. We didn't finish it all and took the uneaten portion home. For our meal, we asked for recommendations and it was a no-brainer. Chicken Fried Ribeye with duck fat gravy. That's six of seven words that solidified the deal, and possibly, my arteries, but it's been months since we were there and I'm still standing. The only reason I can think of why you wouldn't try this is only if you have a health condition that might preclude you from trying it. You know who you are. The wife got the Forest Mushroom Pasta and although it looked good, I was too preoccupied with my food to pay it much attention. The check at the end of the meal was more than we normally spend on a meal, but the ambiance and the food were top-notch. I'd come again, for sure. Three Bruce stars. Worth a special trip. read more

Funky, upper Eastside, New York lounge feel. Nice mix of elegance and chic. Top floor, drinks, and food.

One of my favorite bars in Dallas. Best dirty martinis and signature cocktails are amazing. The staff is some of the best people I've met, shoutout to Trey, Sophia, Steven, and Oliver. They work so hard and make the environment so fun. Would never know it was such a great spot from the outside. What an amazing surprise. read more

We were excited to try this place as it came recommended from friends and we had a reservation at 8:30 tonight. We arrived early at 8:10 and planned to have cocktails until we sat- well it's now 9:20 and still no table. The hostess says she's not sure when people are leaving and can't tell us when we will be seated. The couple at the bar next to us also had an 8:30 reservation and when they asked about their table they were told they were seated- so when they asked the hostess to ask them to get up as they werent the reservation she said she couldnt to that. Needless to say everything about tonight was beyond disappointing. We won't be back. read more

Such a great little hidden gem! It's tucked away near the end of a little strip mall. It's adorable inside, the drinks are great, and the food is delicious. Highly recommend the charcuterie board. read more

This makes me so sad to post!! Our first time here was amazing!!! So amazing that we went back again and took my brother and sister in-law for his birthday! They go group serving which is usually great but this time, people were standing by the side bar talking instead of greeting us and taking our order. Then, the restaurant really got busy and we were there twice as long as we should have been just trying to get someone's attention. My boyfriend and I ordered the Cesar salad with chicken. Our food sat under the heat land in the back because when it came out, the lettuce was wilted, cheese was melted and the once dressing was separated and turned into a soup. We should have sent it back and we wish we would have but we had already sent back a dish for being cold and inedible. When we did try and flag someone down about our salads, we couldn't get anyone. At the end of the dinner we asked if they did anything for birthdays such as a complimentary dessert and the manager said yes, let me tell you what we have! My brother in low chose the cheese cake and we were so thankful because he really enjoyed it. At the end, when we got our ticket, they charged us something like $12 for the "fruit cheese cake" that had one strawberry on it. You don't tell someone you offer complimentary birthday desserts and then charge us! Overall, the drinks where fantastic, the service was terrible, we had to flag someone down every-time, food was terrible and the manager tricked us to ring up our tag. So sad because our first time, we loved it. read more

The service was okay. The food was sub par. So disappointed, I used to love this place, hadn't been for a long while and unfortunately won't likely be going back anytime soon. The wine pours were also only 4oz at $16 a glass. All around negative experience. read more

The food was great. It's just so dark in there. The service was good. The music was a bit loud.

Okay place is pro and top notch great place great vibe, food is good / super solid Appetizer are super solid Drinks are real deal French onion - good to average it's lite, little depth on the caramelization. But good, personally I think French onion should be rich, with more depth. Mac & Cheese super solid. Brussels and asparagus top of class. The chicken fried Ribeye. Good. Not life changing but solid. Definitely a must go and go back. Make a reservation it's busy It's what the food business should be. read more

The soup was cold. Can't remember what my friend said about the fish. I do not want to write home about it.

I've been wanting to eat at Lounge Here for a while and finally had dinner there a few weeks ago when I was visiting family in Dallas. The restaurant/lounge has a really cool vibe - very mid-century/Mad Men meets West Texas/Marfa. Its owned by the founders of some musical groups you might have heard of (Polyphonic Spree) and they own Good Records next door to the lounge. Our group of four tried two drinks from their great cocktail menu. I had Superstition (rum, guava, and hibiscus bitters), which was light and refreshing and the right amount of sweet for me. My dad tried La Paz (tequila, grapefruit bitters, Fever Tree tonic, and a white wine foam), which he really enjoyed. We all shared the crab toast (creamy crab salad on baguette toast points with goat cheese and tomato-bacon jam), which didn't sound like it was going to work but everyone loved. I shared the "A Southern Caesar Salad" (blackened chicken breast, fried green tomato croutons, romaine, buttermilk Caesar dressing, and Parmesan) and the chicken fried ribeye (panko crusted wagyu ribeye, shaved brussels, and duck fat gravy). The salad was surprisingly good - simple but with some fun little surprises like the croutons. I had heard a lot about the chicken fried ribeye, but it didn't quite live up to its reputation for me (the meat was a little tough and chewy and the breading separated from the meat entirely when you tried to cut into the chicken fried steak), but it was still good. My brother loved the shrimp and grits (emmental cheese grits and tasso gravy), and my stepmother got the veggie burger. The menu is fun and some of the food was really good, but I think I'd go back for the drinks, vibe, and experience more than the food. Still, a very cool experience - I enjoyed myself! read more

Greatest hole in the wall I've ever visited! Incredible drinks and that chicken fried steak is to die for.
