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

Great date spot! Went here for a date and could not have been more pleased with the service, food, and overall environment that they have created here. The speakeasy feel provides a fun, cozy atmosphere. The drinks were amazing and we got the deviled eggs and the chicken fried ribeye and lemongrass chicken. All were amazing. Will be recommending to everyone. read more

I love the Retro look of the interior, and how you can't even tell that there is a restaurant there. It seems like the area's Best Kept secret. Great drinks and food. My favorite is the chicken fried ribeye with duck fat gravy and shaved Brussel sprouts. Just crazy good. 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

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

Great drinks and bar tenders, great food, unique and fantastic atmosphere - this place is a vibe read more

Lounge Here - Chicken fried steak with gravy and shaved brussels sprouts - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Love this place. Service and food are excellent!! Make sure you make a reservation. It is always full!!!

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

We so wanted to love this restaurant bc it's in our neighborhood and feels different than other restaurants in the area. Drinks- We ordered wine so there was no going wrong there and dirty martinis. Food- a huge disappointment. The deviled eggs were the best thing we ordered but nothing special about them. The fried steak needed salt and had an old oil taste that we tasted later for days. The crab toast was terrible- a strong fishy taste (tasted like canned tuna), crumbled goat cheese, and barely any bacon tomato "jam" on a hard crostini. It was not edible. I ordered the soup special- sun choke- it was fine but not something that would keep me going back. $175.00 including tip for 2 people. We love eating out- this ticket price did not match the taste and quality of the food. Very bummed. read more

Special Thanks to Stephanie (the manager) and bar staff for making our IMPROMPTU Best Friend Bday Celebration a hit! We appreciate you going above and beyond! WeloveLoungeHere read more

Lounge Here - Shrimp Bisque, charcuterie board & side salad - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is a great bar. The decor is lovely, you can see the hard work they put in this place. It's like a 60's airport lounge vibe. The bartender Sunday was amazing (forgot to get his name) and his cocktails were delicious. read more

Loved Lounge Here! What a cool, swanky bar where you can get nice and cozy with a date or enjoy cocktails with a group of friends. The vibe is chill with a dash of fancy, and the decor is spot on to create a warm and low key environment. It can get busy on certain days, so come early and grab the best seat in the house! read more

Excellent food service and ambiance. Our go to neighborhood date spot. Cocktails also fantastic.

Love everything about Lounge Here! One of my favorite places in Dallas. Great date night

Fun friendly spot! Great cocktails and fun retro vibe! Never had a bad time dining here:)

This is truly a hidden gem! The atmosphere is so fabulous. It just takes you back to another era and it is so relaxing! Every single item that we ordered was up there with the best I've ever eaten. Trey's service was impeccable and it's just a wonderful experience. I highly recommend!! read more

Came here for my boyfriends birthday. Parking lot is very tiny with not many spots, recommend Uber or Lyft. Also make sure you have a reservation. Restaurant is small with a low light and intimate feel. If sitting at a boot there's dividers between them but if at a table in the open they are very close together and you will hear your neighbors conversations. They weren't super busy while we were there but tables on both sides of us were full & bar as well (went on a Wednesday night). The food was really great. We made it in time for happy hour. Service was just ok (I was a server for 9 years so I know what to expect especially for not being busy). When we received the check there was a charge for us to split the entree which was not disclosed by the menu or server at time of ordering. Neither of us had seen that before and we are big foodies that eat out a lot. Then there was also a non-cash adjustment fee which we had also never heard of before. Overall I'd maybe return again on a slow night during the week for happy hour. Place is definitely pricey. The hidden fees & and mediocre service are definitely a turn off. read more

It's been awhile since I've been to this hidden gem in East Dallas. We planned a bougie birthday brunch for 8 girlfriends on a Sunday! Must make a rese on resy in advance; it's a small quaint, classy plaid withlive music (but perfect live brunch music).....one guy on the piano with Sunday acoustic eclectic mix. Brendan was our server and was absolutely fantastic. Planning to make this a Sunday brunch staple. read more

Lounge Here - Bougie Birthday Brunch! Love love this place, best Sunday brunch in town, Brendan is our fave server! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Comfort food meet gastropub. Don't let unassuming looks of this bar inside a strip mall of stores fool you. From the crab cake and goat cheese toast to the cocktails ranging from boozy to experimental to the entree selection, Lounge Here hits the spot! The chicken entree was great. As was the shrimp salad. Feel free to try different drinks. The bartenders clearly were inspired coming up with the recipes. The ambiance is kitschy tongue in cheek low key diner feel. And sometimes they have live music. I'd come back for the drinks for sure. read more

My fav brunch place in Dallas. Love it. I've been there 4 times this year. Great service and the best food around. read more

Love this place. The atmosphere is so quirky here. I definitely prefer the booth seating. Not a fan of the seating where you feel like you are joining your neighbors. My hubby loved the chicken wings and pimento cheese as starters. I am obsessed with the halibut. He has to pick between the halibut or the burger. Both amazing. The Brussel sprouts are insane. Yummy. read more

Great service Great food Parking could be improved Cool menu Cool place It's been there forever Give it a try read more

This place is so cute. Great retro vibe .Absolutely delicious food and drinks . The best grits i have ever had !

I don't even want to write this because then more people might visit but I can't say enough good things...I recently moved from NYC and have been hunting for great food and a great vibe, this place is it! The Decor: From the outside I definitely made a joke about it maybe being a strip club because it's so dark and plain you would pass it by, BUT make it inside and it's awesome, small and intimate with a small bar in the back and low lighting with mid-mod vibe. Clean and not too loud even when we visited on a busy Saturday night around 8/9pm. The Food: OMG order the mussels!!!! I'm gonna go back for them as soon as I possibly can. The spicey beer buttery sauce is soooo good and perfectly balanced. The burger my friend had was also delicious with great flavor in the meat. The portions are decent, add a glass of wine and you'll love it. The staff: Friendly and prompt, we noticed the hostess especially she was working her butt off clearing and checking on tables, kudos to her and if management/owners read this, she needs a raise immediately. Overall a glowing five stars and I'll be back to get some pics of the food and of course have as many mussels as I can. Wish they'd give me a free dinner since I've already gushed about them to about 100ppl and now you all! Enjoy!! read more

Lounge Here is one of my favorite neighborhood gems. After finding out that they were reopening my girlfriend and I could not wait to get back in. When you pull up to this place you honestly have no idea what's waiting for you inside and I get giddy every time we walk in. It's the cutest place to just get away and enjoy some great cocktails and food. You feel so lucky every time you get to visit and you should! There are little reminders everywhere to stay safe and healthy and they did it in the cutest way! There is a cute little sign right at the entrance reminding you to wear a mask, QR coded cubes for your menu, plexi at the bar, and hand sanitizer everywhere! Not to mention the edgiest hostess, servers and bartenders all masked and happy to serve you! They even jazzed up their outdoor space and it's the perfect place to start your night before making your way inside. We walked in around 5:30pm Saturday with no reservation and were able to wait outside until seats at the bar opened up. From there, dirty martinis were happily consumed with their garlic parm fries :) My girlfriend got the southern Caesar salad to go and said it was bomb! The deviled eggs are also a go to of ours and the here burger will leave you delightfully comatose. My boyfriend visits this weekend and we have a dinner reservation and I just can't wait to show him this uniquely perfect place! read more

One of the best hidden gems in the Lake Highlands, White Rock Lake area is the beautiful Lounge Here. From the moment you step through the doors you will feel like you've been transported to a wonderful world where Mid Century design stood still, with some of the coolest people you could hope to dine with. The staff makes you feel like a part of the family, if your first timer or regular! For those of you who are like me, and love sitting at the bar, the Lounge here bar is cozy and elegant with some of the best cocktails in the city. Come hungry, because the food is amazing! See you at the bar xoxo Lorenzo read more

Lounge Here - Enjoying another wonderful night at Lounge Here - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Been wanting to try this place for a long time and I'm glad we finally came! It's in this little strip, and we honestly missed the actual business when we drove by. The parking lot is tiny, so be prepared to look for parking. We were greeted immediately and seated right away. Food was pretty good, had good cocktail list and had a good bourbon list. We went during brunch. I had their hash and it was good! Overall good experience, just parking wasn't great read more

Funky little place. Mad men kinda vibe. 4 rather than 5 stars only because it's Pricey for what it is. --Good place for a date.

This is our favorite date place. The ambiance is super cool, always great music, cool staff, delicious drinks. 1/2 wine we'd, 15 buck beer and burger night on Thursday's. My favorite dishes are the chicken fried ribeye and the fish w/succotash dish. Mmmmmm the veggie burger is delicious too. This place is walking distance from our house. read more

Great place, loved the chicken fried steak, good service and quaint place. I wish there was better parking though.

Food & service good Ambience entirely unique, unexpected and awesome. Drink selection ok - needs better sparkling wine options read more

Such a cute eclectic neighborhood restaurant with great food and great cocktails! Great for a date night or small group of friends!!

I like any speakeasy type bar without a visible sign, so they had me at 'Hello!' But beyond that; this lounge does it RIGHT! Parking is scarce, but you'll find a spot if you want it bad enough. Seating is limited in this intimate setting, but that just gives you a cozy warmth in a friendly loud den! You will feel like you are at home, if you live in a '70's Airstream Trailer with an ultra-hip custom interior!! It's loud enough that you'll need to yell at your waittress, but if you get Shannon - she might like ir! (She is great!). I like loud bars; you can talk about ANYTHING, and no one can hear you! Appetizers are SOO good! Deviled Eggs, and Pimento Cheese & Chips are both to die for. Other choices were good, but these were my faves. Food was good, including CFS and the Here Burger. Very tasty, but hey - this is a bar. So lets talk about the DRINKS. We tried several great drinks from their house-specialty list (allow extra time for these) and our normal drinks were good too (Amaretto Sour, Old Fashioned, Vodka/Red Bull, beers, wines, etc.). I love this hip hideaway, and I will go again!! Drank too much to recall many details, but I'll go back soon - so maybe I'll get better info then! read more

Lounge Here - The gangs all here! (Intentional play on words; here in the Lounge Here!) - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but you'll find it adds to the experience when you walk in. This place plays well to projecting an intimate setting for its guests. The lounge vibes are made clear by the booths lining the walls on either side, all well-lit and good for couples and groups of 4. Cocktails are kept classic but well done, no choice is a bad one on their program. Crab cake appetizers are $19 well spent, and the food is simply what you need for dinner. Took the wife here for Valentine's Day and it was just what we were looking for. Go here. read more

The food was amazing! The kitchen does exceptional work. We are infrequent customers, but every time we visit we are always pleased with the food. Problem was the service. We were seated immediately and then we just waited. After about 10 minutes, I said something to the hostess. She said she could take our order then she walked away. The waiter finally stopped by and told us he just didn't see us. We got our drinks and food then had the same wait for the check. Not the great experience we have learned to expect read more

Love the ambiance. Food is good. But the surprise cash price vs credit card price was a big surprise. This is a cost of doing business and what you save as a business expense becomes a deficit for your wait staff and maybe return business Advertise it on your menu in bold letters and in your website so people can make informed decisions and plan to bring cash read more

Came here for Valentine's Day and it was delicious! The decor was so cool and fun! Our waitress was super attentive and with how close it is to wear we live we will definitely be coming back! read more

Today was my 1st visit to Lounge Here. I had a wonderful experience! The ambiance was nice...very laid back & zen-like. The waitstaff were friendly and although a full house, I never once had to ask that my glass be refilled. All were attentive, and engaging. My cocktail was made to perfection, the beyond burger, house salad were excellent! My truffle fries were good but not great, thus the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. The truffle fries have the potential for greatness but they have to be hot...not room temp...no exceptions. My husband and I will definitely dine here again! #itsavibe #somethingnew #goodfoodgoodvibe #wewillbeback read more

Dark and sexy. Good food. Good service. We lounged around here for about an hr or so.
