1. Crú - A Wine Bar
I've only been to this location once, but it was definitely a 5 star experience. The pear & gorgonzola pizza (drizzled with honey) alone would earn this place 5 stars. It was so delicious. We sat at the bar and the bartender dude was super nice…More »
2. Times Ten Cellars
Dallas, TX 75214
(214) 824-9463
Thanks to my friend Darin R, I've been to this place twice. Sadly they were both for his birthday, so you see how far in between my visits were. Both times we sat at the back of the patio. This past visit I ordered the chardonnay, and it was good.…More »
3. Bodega Wine Bar
I don't frequent wine bars often, but this place is hands down one of my favorites. I think they expanded, or either I was just too drunk to realize how big the place really is. The last time I went we had to go through the wine store to get in.…More »
4. Urban Crust
I had no idea how neat-o this place is. I have a friend that works here so I wanted to stop in and say hi since I'm never in Plano. She was busy so I went up to the third floor where the bar is. It's called the 32 degree bar or something like…More »
5. Crú Wine Bar
Austin, TX 78701
(512) 472-9463
Category:
Wine Bars
Neighbourhoods: 2nd Street District, Warehouse District, Downtown
We have this bar in Dallas, and when I come to Austin I try to stay away from the places I can go to in Dallas. BUT after walking around a while and looking for a place that didn't have the music turned up to 11 we happened upon Cru. Noticing an…More »
6. Kindred Spirits Lakewood
Dallas, TX 75214
(214) 823-9452
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Lakewood
I've seen this place a gazillion times, but it wasn't until a friend of mine was telling me about it that I finally stopped in. I heard the place has unique beers, and if the owner doesn't have what you want then he'll get it for you (haven't…More »
7. Cafe Izmir
Dallas, TX 75206
(214) 826-7788
Categories:
Middle Eastern,
Tapas Bars,
Mediterranean
Neighbourhood: Lower Greenville
Like some of the other reviewers, I agree that the humus is AWEsome. Their homemade sangria kicks ass too. Get a pitcher of it! You won't be disappointed.
Tuesday is definitely the night to go for the $2 tapas menu. Get there early or make…More »
8. Monticello Liquor
Dallas, TX 75205
(214) 520-6618
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Highland Park
I've been here a few times recently. The parking is kind of a pain, because you are literally right off the service road of 75. So be careful when backing out.
They do have an AWESOME selection of wines, sake, and champagne!! Their beer selection…More »
9. Angelo's Spaghetti House
This place is friggin cute inside. It's quaint with christmas like lights. It feels cozy, yet kind of festive. All that's missing is a fireplace and some snow outside.
I hate to say it, but after having dinner here two times I'm not a huge fan of…More »
10. Spirit's Liquor
Dallas, TX 75226
(214) 748-2459
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Deep Ellum
In living in Deep Ellum you have a few choices for booze. I still find Spirit's to be the cheapest. I'm on a Buffalo Trace kick, and Spirit's has the cheapest in the few places I've stopped around the hood.

11. Centennial Fine Wine & Spirits
Dallas, TX 75206
(214) 515-0683
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Lower Greenville
This place is new and purty. Shana L pretty much said it all in her review. This space is huge, and it's hard to not stare at the glowing back wall of vodkas when you first walk in. The beer selection is really good here. They have all your…More »

Neighbourhood: Central West End
Had our waitress not been so nice and apologetic I would have been pissed on how long we had to wait on food and drinks. It took FORVER. It was worth the wait. I started with the baby spinach salad and it was fresh and tasty. The steak frites as…More »
13. Neo Pizza Napoletana by Olivella's
I'm teetering between three and a half, and four stars here. Last night I met my friend that works at HOB here for dinner. We sat in the bar area called the slice room, which you actually can't get a slice of pizza. That's okay, because my…More »
14. Fireside Pies
I have always adored Fireside Pies. It's a cute small-ish place with booths, and a few tables inside. There's seating at the bar, and also an outdoor patio in the back. I've seen this place get crowded, but I've never really had to wait too long…More »
15. Eno's Pizza Tavern
Dallas, TX 75208
(214) 943-9200
I've been to Eno's a few times since my initial review, which was one of my first Yelp reviews.
This past weekend I went on a Saturday night and took some out of town friends with their three year old. We got there around 6 and sat in the upstairs…More »

I just discovered Eno's this week. I am in love. The pizza was really good, the salads were too.… Read more »
16. Andrea's Restaurant
I'm going to third the "shabby cozy" term to describe this place. Andrea's is located in a kinda hood-ish strip mall off Gaston. It's a tiny restaurant that doesn't look like it's been updated in quite some time. Honestly, had I not been able to…More »
17. I-45 Beverage Depot
I found this little gem of a liquor/beer store on the way home from visiting family in Ennis. I decided to not go through the drive-through because I had no idea what beer I was going to buy. All the cases are outside, so it was easy to look around…More »
18. Naga Thai Kitchen & Bar
This place is definitely sleek and sophisticated, even though my friends and I sat at the bar, so I didn't get to take a real good look around. I love all the brown wood and black chairs, though. We started with ginger calamari and I was…More »
19. Live Hair Group
Dallas, TX 75206
(214) 742-4363
Category:
Hair Salons
Neighbourhood: Lower Greenville
It's been over a year since my last review, and I'm still in love with this place. I was super broke for a while so used other options for my hair, but when I finally came back to Tasha she made my hair perfect again. I want to make everyone in…More »

(214) 824-9709
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Lakewood
I see what everyone means by the friendly service. The two people working the night I went in were super nice. But this place feels like it's about to go out of business and have a limited supply of booze. They didn't have Buffalo Trace whiskey…More »

Neighbourhood: Upper Greenville
There's really nothing about this place that doesn't rock. A mix and match of a 6-pack of beer? Don't mind if I do. That's probably my favorite part of the store. Sample some wine? Heck yeah! Need a card, a lamp, a chair, some dishes, glasses,…More »
22. Henk's European Deli & Black Forest Bakery
Dallas, TX 75231
(214) 987-9090
I have a couple of friends that try to meet once a month at a different restaurant for dinner. Henk's won for May.
The first Friday of the month there is live entertainment, which tonight was a man with his accordion. In the small setting he had, I…More »
23. Opolo Vineyards
This was my first winery, and wine tasting to ever attend. The drive to the winery is something else. Very pretty, and you pass all the grape vines to get to the tasting room. We walked in and were greeted by a gentleman behind a counter. He told…More »
24. Carhartt Vineyard
Thanks to the trusty Yelp this winery came up as topped rated, so that's why we stopped, and they deserve every star they get. The tasting room is tiny, but so adorable. They do have a really nice outdoor patio too that's shaded by trees and pretty…More »
25. Qupé Wines Tasting Room
I hate to be a hater, and it might not be fair that this third wine tasting happened after two other awesome wine tastings, but this place was pretty disappointing. I walked in by myself, and there was a guy doing a tasting. The dude behind the…More »
26. The Alcove
Very cute place. Sat at the bar since I was the first of the group to arrive. Dude working was very nice. They don't have many choices for "by the glass", so I settled on the $5 happy hour chardonnay. It was good. The evening crowd that started…More »

Neighbourhood: Lakewood
I've been to Painting with a Twist a few times, so I knew the drill of this place.
This place is brand new. The space is pretty empty, but has a modern industrial feel. The cubby holes for purses and the such was a nice touch. There are counters…More »
28. Lenoir-Sage Vineyards
So a bunch of girls had plans to go to this winery yesterday. Someone had to cancel so I got invited last minute. Had no idea this place existed. It took about an hour to get to from Dallas. We arrived, walked in the small building and met Adell.…More »

Places to Get a Cold Beer (62)Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver. |
