Atlas is a funky fun cocktail bar in the Bishop Arts neighborhood in South Dallas. The vibe in…read moreBishop Arts feels authentically urban like a large northern city. It's definitely more delightfully eclectic and kitschy than neighborhoods around Downtown Dallas or East Dallas. Atlas has a funky lounge design that is warm, inviting and screams that you made it out of the house so you're ready to rage. They always have great energy in their music, creative cocktail menu, and food. I had a tasty Sidecar variation called Between Da Sheets (photo 2). They added rum to the classic recipe of cognac, orange liqueur and lemon juice. The rum gave it a bit of a vacationy feel which was nice. It was well-balanced and quite tasty. We highly recommend checking out Atlas next time you're in Bishop Arts and want an elevated cocktail in one of the funkiest spaces in Dallas. Do it!!! Salute @thejohnnycocktail

I had the absolutely worst experience last night. My girlfriend's and I went to the restroom and…read moresecurity decided to bang on the door immediately once we got in there. They banged the whole time , which we didn't know it was them until we opened the door. There was five of us, and once we opened up the door, they were telling us to watch our mouths because I yelled at them asking did they work there , obviously confused what was going on. They then decided to kick us out because we had too many people in the restroom. I only got one of the security guards name his name is Anthony another man in his 40s who had an accent decided to put his hands on me and push me. We were all so confused why we were getting kicked out. I will never be going back! That is absolutely insane. We did not take a long time either and they said it was gonna take too long if we all went together, which makes no sense. We took MAYBEEE 5 to 7 minutes in the restroom. The owner needs to get a grip on his security guards. Especially the ones that look like their on drugs sneaking people in from the back and the one man who put his hands on me for absolutely no reason!!! BEWARE LADIES: You cannot go to the bathroom with anyone or you will get kicked it and man handled !!!

The themed cocktails were creative and fun, and the layout--with three different rooms each playing different music genres--made it feel like a full experience rather than just a bar. That said, while the thought and design were incredibly well done and the drinks were good, the crowd size and some of the behavior allowed is what made the experience feel less than perfect. At times it felt a bit overwhelming and took away from what could have been a really magical night. That said, I would definitely go back. I'm hopeful it was just an off night, because the concept, atmosphere, and effort behind this pop-up are absolutely there. With better crowd control, this could easily be a standout holiday experience.

The activation typically last from November until the end of Christmas. They have various of holiday events that you can attend and great drinks. This year they added a 'hidden' area near the back that sold taquitos that were insanely huge, churros and another treat. The service was fast and the lines moved rather quickly. Be sure to add it to your calendar at the end of this year!

First of all, the Bishop Arts District itself is incredibly charming. Block after block of unique shops ranging from bookstores and bakeries to candle shops, candy stores, coffee spots, and little boutiques. It's exactly the kind of neighborhood I loveeeee exploring while traveling and if I lived in Dallas, I'd probably frequent this area often. As for The Wild Detectives, the concept alone immediately appealed to me...bookstore meets cafe meets bar meets restaurant. That combination will pretty much always grab my attention. I love to read, I love to eat. The space has a pretty relaxed, community oriented vibe, and during my Saturday morning/early afternoon visit, there were plenty of people working, reading, chatting, and hanging out both inside and on the patio. My one slight disappointment was that the bookstore side itself was smaller than I expected and didn't have quite as extensive a selection as I had imagined. That said, I still managed to leave with a few great additions for my ever growing TBR pile. Overall, this was a worthwhile stop and one I may revisit the next time I'm in Dallas.

Seriously mouthwatering. Ambiance: Whether you're trying to get some work done, study, or just people-watch (my personal favorite lol), this spot delivers. Full bar, comfy booths, tables, indoor and outdoor seating, and a steady flow of background music that just sets the tone right. Service: Friendly, welcoming, and actually knows the menu--which we love. You can tell they care about the experience. Overall: 10/10, highly recommend.

The ambiance is one of my favorite parts--this area is lively, walkable, and full of shops and restaurants all along the same street, making it perfect for a night out or a casual stroll. It's definitely a place I'd bring friends who are visiting from out of state. Great atmosphere, solid food, and a fun neighborhood to explore. I'd absolutely come back again.

They were both attentive to my needs and provided top-notch service. Food: I had a juice shot (non-alcoholic), diet soda and the duck wings which were very flavorful, better than I thought it would be. I couldn't eat too much because I wasn't that hungry so that's all I had there. My favorite part of this restaurant was the decor! Ambiance! It was so beautiful. I've been to Morroco and Casablanca, in particular, and this looked like a republica of the original. It was a Friday night, so the vibes were there. Great Afrobeats music, handsome men everywhere. It became more crowded as the night continued, and it became a all out party/lounge/club vibes. I didn't stay for the turn-up because I was getting tired and had to get up early the next day. 10/10 one hundred percent would recommend and return. It was a super pretty place. A MUST GO!!!
