The Craftiest Cocktail Bars In Dallas
While it's no secret Dallas is a hub for craft cocktails, these are the bars shaking things up.

Tipsy Alchemist
Be mesmerized by cocktails created from science, the eye of an artist, and the magic of a mixologist. Located in the heart of Uptown, this is not your typical nightlife spot. Watch as your favorite booze is transformed into an experience you’ll never forget. Bonus: Tipsy Alchemist is a stop on the Margarita Mile, so make sure you check in.

The Mitchell
Searching for the ultimate Dallas experience? Look no further than The Mitchell located in Downtown Dallas. With food options like roasted bone marrow to escargot and an extensive cocktail list, you’ll understand the saying, “everything is bigger (and better!) in Texas.”
Bowen House
A farmhouse owned by Ahab Bowen in the 1800s was reincarnated into Uptown’s trendiest hangout. Here you’ll find eclectic and imaginative drinkable creations. There’s also a private Bar Within A Bar located in the back where guests can enjoy a more intimate experience.
