Where is the Best Chill Scene in Dallas, Texas?
For the setting, the food is solid. Proximity and reasonable quality mean several return visits. Take out ready promptly. Pulled pork sandwich, fire and rice soup and drinks all worth the stop. Service reasonable if not exceptional. Drinks reasonably priced. Best place to go after you leave Luqa hungry. No smoking? Hardly emphysema Zima more likely. What is with these Dallas smoking bylaws?
I really have no idea what’s going on, I feel like I am in the twilight zone! Well maybe not that dramatic, but what Obar are all these people talking about??? Bc I am having trouble believing it’s that tiny little underground place on Main I know as Obar! I’m not defending the bar, I find the place a bit too hard to walk through/ get a drink anyway, but was so curious I had to ask! I live downtown and have been to Obar roughly 50 times over the past 3 years since moving to Dallas and I couldn’t be more confused! Waiting in hours-long lines? Lists? Slipping money to bouncers? Did I accidentally link to the Ghostbar reviews somehow? And I don’t even know what is going on with all of the racism stuff… I’ve never noticed anything other than a well mixed crowd. Who are the non-whites not getting in? Asian? Black? Hispanic? Again, I’m just curious at this point… bc the Obar all these people are talking about just…. doesn’t exist? By the way, heard rumors Obar shut down
The bartender in the back room on Friday night was pathetic at best. Lazy, slow and lacking in knowledge of drinks. I asked for a Jim Beam and Coke. He told me they didn’t have Jim Beam. I pointed to the shelf behind him at the full bottle of Jim Beam sitting there. Later I order a Disoronno sour. He gave me a generic brand amaretto. I told him that I had ordered Disoronno. He asked if I would just go ahead and take the no-name brand and he would use the Disoronno for the next order.The DJ Michael Roos however is one of the best in Dallas! Wow! What a song mixologist.Pros + The musicCons – Worst Bartender
I’ve never seen a bar with such an identity crisis. What is it, please someone tell me! Is it a metro/gay sportsbar/nightclub/restaurant? As usual in our fickle city everyone goes to the new place to be seen, and in most cases, such as this one, we only arrive to be let down. Few bars in this city have really wowed me, and this one is definitely not one of them. I don’t want to completely down grade them, its just not the upscale late night lounge or club that the ownership/management thinks or wants it to be. I read they were supposed to have the hottest staff in town and was totally let down in that department. The napoleonic muscle head with an attitude behind the bar didn’t exactly strike me as one for that category. I will say there were some good looking cocktails that were nice, but thats everywhere in this city. The cocktails in this city are easily comparable to Vegas or L.A., which goes without saying. I am rather confused as to the voting on citysearch, though. Its not a bad
