2614 Boll Street / Website

With an historic home in the heart of Uptown Dallas, this contemporary cocktail house is a hip spot for any gathering or celebrations. Enjoy a fine old fashioned or classic high ball, though we suggest getting cozy with a creative cocktail like the 90s Baby with vodka, dry curacao, cranberry gin, sweet lime and citric acid. Good news for the industry crowd. Bowen House is open from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays, but it's open from 4 p.m. "untill" they decide to close on Sundays through Tuesdays.

Featuring 20-plus signature cocktails and an extensive list of shareable bites, Royal 38 is a great spot to drink, snack, and mingle with your friends or impress a date. Enjoy ahi tuna nachos or Asian braised short rib while sipping on a cocktail from the extensive menu featuring vodka, gin, tequila and mezcal, rum and more. We love the Green Tara with vodka, jasmine green tea, lemon, lime and vanilla bean.
