Editor’s picks
Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in The Infatuation and Dallas Observer. Updated July 2026.
Midnight Rambler · Downtown, Dallas
Infatuation's Best Bars In Dallas. a plush basement bar in the Joule Hotel where the DFW creative-cocktail wave has kept its flagship since day one.
Apothecary · Lower Greenville, Dallas
Infatuation's Best Bars. Lab-style bar using centrifuges and sous vide for cuisine-inspired drinks; the cocktail nerd answer in Dallas.
Las Almas Rotas · Expo Park, Dallas
Infatuation's Best Bars. One of the best agave bars in the country, stocking small-batch mezcals, tequilas and other Mexican spirits instead of mass-produced liquors.
Bar Colette · Uptown, Dallas
Bar director Ruben Rolon, previously behind the bar at a two-Michelin-star Robuchon restaurant, built this West Village lounge's program around a signature clarified milk punch, and it earned a 2025 James Beard new bar semifinalist nod. The room is unapologetically elegant and European-leaning, with an extensive, exotic spirits and wine list.
The Branca Room · Oak Cliff, Dallas
This Oak Cliff speakeasy makes its own amaro and vermouth in house and builds a tight twelve-item cocktail menu around Argentinian and European influences. It is a quieter, more ingredient-focused alternative to the neighborhood's louder bar options, aimed at drinkers who want to talk through what is in the glass.
