long live the queen
Fish and Chips with a Pimms and Lemonade - that is what you’d get if you were in London on a nice day with the sun shining after a walk in a park (patios are tougher to find over there, though!). It’s also what you will get at the Londoner, Dallas’s very own spot of London life which is rumored to have the best fish and chips in Dallas. The waiters and bartenders add to the...

holler for a ... palmer?
New to the Dallas happy hour scene, Charlie Palmer is a gem. Like some of the other upscale restaurants around our fair city, Charlie Palmer offers to-die-for drinks and sumptuous food to snack on at a good price compared to the usual prices.
The hotel (The Joule) is intriguing with somewhat out-of-place decor that seems to still work - site: the large wheel in the lobby (their bathrooms are...

a good place to land
At least they own up to the fact that they are a dive … because Lakewood Landing sure as hell is. The dim lighting veils the locals and gives the atmosphere an intriguing feel - I think it’d be too dark to eat anywhere but the booths! Stroll past the bar where the locals quietly sip their elixers and you will find a pool table, juke box, and Golden Tee complete with a couch for...

take a time out
In a day and age when it’s hard to find an authentic sports bar, the Time Out Tavern (affectionately known as the TOT) holds true to the name and delivers a respite from the hustle and bustle of Dallas life. From the walls plastered with old sports headlines from newspapers and sports memorabilia to the pool, shuffleboard, and video games, the TOT really gives men’s men a place to get...

state and allen
A spring day in Texas begs for a refreshing drink on a patio with big sunglasses. My friend and I had a free afternoon and decided to find an early happy hour - State and Allen was our choice. We chose it because they have an amazing selection of food, an extended happy hour, and a great patio. The early happy hour allowed us to escape just before the suits hit the watering hole after work.

iron cactus
When Iron Cactus says they have the biggest happy hour in Texas, they aren’t kidding - I think their only rival would be The Oasis on Lake Travis! Three patios and an inside bar area comprise the happy hour wonderland that is Iron Cactus. Their drink options include wells, domestics, and margaritas for incredibly reasonable prices … along with half-price appetizers to keep you from...
