50 Best Cocktail Bars near Garland

“Went in with a celebrity baby bash a rapper guy cooking was cool making us laugh joking around real friendly dude. He cooked order way we likes it!,but forgot bash wanted chicken in the rice. They just give everyone a lil bit of everything didn't like that, everyone ordered individually, but just gave you whatever and whatever temperature they wanted. Not very vibrant place nothing stood out,yet food a must try. Overall good place prices were legit too.“

“So we got so excited that we forgot to take pictures but it was a stellar night. Taylor, the Ray of sunshine that took such wonderful care of us tonight was an absolte doll. She was so delightful with recommendations and options and she even brought us some fresh made bread with some special jam that was out of this world. They found out we were there for my birthday and Shelby came out with a lovely lemon strawberry cake and blowtorched a sparkler for us. We ordered the beeftips with the whipped potatoes that were to tender that were utterly slap your anyone delicious and the juicy tasty cheeseburger with fries are not to be slept on. The service, the food, the atmosphere were all the best treat and we will definitely be back again. Go see Taylor and let Shelby sing to you, it's all well worth it.“

“The photos speak for themselves. The food is SO good, service is incredible and they have great conversations with you too. Highly recommend getting a reservation as this place gets packed. We’ve gone back twice already and want to go back again!“

“ASK FOR CARLOS HE IS THE GOAT. HE IS THE MAN. love this place. so hard to choose because EVERYTHING on both the food and drink menu looks good. atmosphere is great, nice outdoor area on first floor and rooftop opens later. you will not regret it.“

“Me and my fiance seen this place many of times and never knew that this place was here it's so low key and away from everything it's easily missed but when we walked in here it was very welcoming and was so lively and calm I'm not a major drinker like most but tge drink I had (only fanz) ? good name and good drink. when it comes to the food I had the meatballs and quail just to try out for the first time may I say was the best l have had by far the quail may have been small but where he lacked in size he made up for flavor the quail was amazing I would recommend getting it it's small but it's gets the job done now the meatballs and slaw I'm guessing which was on the bottom had me shocked with a expression of what is this I need to talk to the chef and get the recipe, last but not least my desert fries the fat kid in me came out and lets just say I will be back again and Thank to dillan our server who tended to our every need even when it took a minute to decide I will be back“

“I enjoyed the fire roasted salmon, delicious brussel sprouts & grits! I sat on the patio by the warm fire and it was all so fantastic! What I appreciated most was the option for a wonderful bottle of NA wine to share with my friends! What a perfect place for our reunion!!“

“Delicious Italian Food served while you are surrounded by photos of Italian families and decor. I love the fresh bread served with my meal- it's great dipped into the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and cracked pepper provided on the table but why is there no salt?“

“Was in the Greenville area and remembered from a TikTok video and IG post of a take out margarita spot and just happened to be in the same parking lot.. lucky me! I wasn’t fully into the store before I was greeted with a very friendly welcome. Thats a huge plus for customer service because i was also asked if It was my 1st time which it was so time was taken to let me know what would fit my taste and it most definitely did! Shouts out to Brandon, because this margarita SLAPS!! I went with a small and 1 extra shot this time but next time ima take the training wheels off ? So taste.. value.. location and again customer service.. Mr Margaritas should be your to go place if you’re in the Greenville.. North/Lake Dallas.. Uptown/Midtown and surrounding areas!“

“The restaurant is very beautiful. Very pleasing to the eye. My friend and I went during happy hour and we both got the Classic cheeseburger with fries. $8 for a 1/4 wagyu beef burger is well worth it as it was absolutely delicious. I also had the margarita and it was also delicious. Highly recommended coming here during happy hour as it's reasonably-priced and filling.“

“Fantastic, funky neighborhood spot with a simple yet delicious menu. We had the focaccia and the deviled eggs to start, then shared the filet au poivre and lemon caper chicken. The chicken was a bit more dredged & fried than I was expecting but delicious nonetheless. We will absolutely be coming back.Parking: There were limited spots out front and was hard to tell what was an actual spot or not, so just head to the back lot and you can enter the restaurant through the back patio.“

“I had the turkey burger and sweet potato fries. Food was good and burgers were huge. Plenty of seating and plenty of parking available. Our waitress was on point and super friendly. My buddy and I had a great experience. Burger stopper for sure.Vegetarian options: Vegan“

“This place is so good! What a fun brunch menu. I had a delicious veggie omelet and the homemade sausage was really good as well. I especially liked the excellent service as well. Symphony was my server and she was awesome. She even let me try the beignets for my first visit which were WOW! I can't wait to return and bring my husband. The place was busy even at noon giving off the vibe that others love it as much as I do. I want to try a "spiked coffee" for a treat on my next visit.“

“We love Jhonny's food! Usually the service is also topnotch but the woman serving us was distracted talking to the other employees and seemed fairly uninterested in serving us. Of course it's run down but that's part of what's to love!Kid-friendliness: Totally kid friendly“

“We finally tried Creekside Fine Grill on 544 in Wylie. We made a reservation as a party of six and were walked right to our table when we arrived. We were treated to a circular booth which is always great for conversation. Almost everyone ordered something different off the menu. The Chicken Parmesan was massive with two pieces of chicken over shell pasta. I selected off of the "Pick 3" menu and chose 3 seafood items which were all good. The service was great with lots of attention to drink refills and anything we needed. The decor is "Fine" but there were several patrons in casual attire. The average price of the meals we ordered were $16 to $23 but they do offer some sandwiches and burgers for less. We recommend Creekside Fine Dining if you have been wanting to give it a try.“

“Always a fantastic experience when we are here. Came in for brunch/lunch on a Sunday and it was not overly crowded, which it should be busier then it is, and enjoyed a great lunch with my wife. Breezy behind the bar is attentive and thoughtful.“

“The orange beef is too saucy, but other than that everything else is delicious. Especially the garlic salt and pepper shrimp, the orange chicken and the beef fried rice or all delicious. What I don't like is that the waiters stand over your shoulder trying to peek at the tip amount which I think is inconsiderate and unprofessional“

“Tina's Continental is a whole VIBE. From delicious (and strong) martinis and other cocktails to the unique bar mix to the obscure movies on the TVs, Tina's has pretty much everything you'd look for in an upscale cocktail bar experience.They get bonus points because my fiancé and I reached out to inquire about shooting our engagement photo session there, and Travis and the entire team went out of their way to accommodate us, which we greatly appreciated.Highly recommend Tina's to anyone looking for a great spot for happy hour, after dinner drinks, or a fun date night.“

“Me my better half and my sister ate dinner here Saturday. I really do not like fish much, but I will eat Cod. My better half and my sister had the catfish and I had the Cod basket. It was very good and I must say the fries were so good. We had a order of hush puppies and they were very good.“

“Food is excellent. Owner is the original owner of Veracruz in Bishop Arts, my favorite Mexican restaurant in Dallas. The menu here isn't identical, but the food quality (and excellent margaritas) are very similar.They're in a strip center, was worried they might not make it, but recent visits have found it full and bustling. Glad to see it.“

“I actually like this place and have been here before, the food is good.However, it feels like they *drastically* over pour. I had 2 margaritas and got ill (and that's with drinking water in between). Keep in mind that I'm used to drinking double neat whiskeys, so for me to get sick from 2 margaritas is insane. They really need to check the amount of booze they are dishing out to people for the customers (and their) safety.“

“We stopped in for a quick drink. The bartender was very friendly and made excellent drinks! We highly enjoyed the fresh pepper in the Spicy Guava Margarita. The La Mera Pera is truly a smoky and savory drink with a super delightful vanilla honey foam.“

“Lounge Here is one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants and a go-to for outings with a small group of friends. Their cocktails are always just as refreshing as the kind souls serving them. And the small bites on the menu are great to be shared or savored solo! Definitely try their burgers, deviled eggs, and the Mac & Cheese. You will not be disappointed!“

“I stopped by Alamo Club while visiting town and after hearing a lot about lower Greenville. The music and the cute front patio were so inviting. They also have a massive covered back patio. Emily, my server has the best recommendations and gave top notch service. The pot roast pasta was so incredible. My experience was so good I came back the next morning for brunch drinks. Melina, the bartender made me the best tequila espresso martini and took the absolute best care of me. Highly recommend coming in and having great drinks and delicious food. Will be back soon for sure.“

“I was so excited to try this spot. I ordered gumbo, bisque, and the fried catfish platter! That platter had so much fish, 2-3 ppl could have eaten from it, the gumbo was really good, and the bisque was about the best I've ever had. Can't wait to go back!!!“

“We had a family celebration and could not have been treated better! Our server Clemente is absolutely the best! He went out of his way to take excellent care of us!! He took care of every detail along with a lot of extras! We could not have been more blessed! Best server ever!The Carne Asada is amazing! It is our favorite! We really enjoyed the Margueritas too!We will definitely be back!“

“We always have the best time when we brunch here, but today deserved an award! Long wait was quickly turned short, we were sat and the service as amazing. Our server, Dylan, was phenomenal. So personable, so quick, I loved his banter! I will probably always ask for Dylan when we come back now.“

“This place is AWESOME. The drinks are delicious and ~artsy~, and the bartenders are chill and quick to serve you. Also, if you happen to be there on a night where they do the cocktail making classes (or if you get the chance to do one) it is a BLAST - music is great and it feels like a party in there. 10/10 recommend if you're in the Mockingbird area!“

“Amazing atmosphere especially for Valentine's Day, I am new to the area and saw they had a Pop Up for Galentine's Day. Of course the beste and I had to check it out. The drinks were on point, I will say if you don't mind walking a block there is parking lot near a hamburger stand and you can just walk down the street to Leela's.“

“Although I only stopped in for a Michelada, my experience was great! The server was nice, she wore a smile on her face with every interaction, and the atmosphere was pleasant. They make their own mixture for the Michelada. It was different than I have had in the past but still quite tasty. I am not from this area, but will plan to revisit for a more thorough experience when I return.“

“What a fascinating place! Right when you walk up to the restaurant they have a very beautiful and well thought out outdoor dining area.. looks very inviting. Sat down to a beautiful meal, fantastic service and outstanding food. Please stop here when you are visiting the Dallas area.. you won’t be disappointed.“

“I had a special burger with hot Cheetos crusted on the bun. I was a little skeptical but it was actually SO good! I squeezed some lime and it was…. chef’s kiss. Loaded tots are also BANGING and their margaritas! Totally would come back again and recommend!!!“

“I have an admission to make. I don't eat seafood. BUT I like non-seafood sushi and Japanese cuisine in general. So I was thrilled when I saw their vegan sushi menu! I've tried several rolls, and they are all delicious. Shiitake to me is probably my favorite. Their tomago and inari are fine as well. You MUST try their lemon miso brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts aren't burnt and the lemon miso sauce is amazing. I order it each time I dine here, and I still haven't gotten tired of it. The chicken wraps are tasty as well. My friend, who actually eats fish, says that their toro is very good and overall fish quality is fine too.“

“The food here is fantastic! We particularly loved the OMG French toast and the vegan pancakes. We arrived at 11:22 am on a Saturday and were seated by 11:54 am, but it was quite busy. The service was okay, and the atmosphere was pleasant, although the music was a bit louder than we preferred.“

“Super chill space that is kid and pet friendly. The food was tasty and service was great. My son loved the patio and meeting local pups at lunch. I got a grilled chicken salad and my husband got a brisket potato. We had the BBQ deviled eggs.“

“A few caveats on this review...I'm looking at this eatery through the prism of grabbing a lunch bite while shopping at the mall. If I were reviewing it from the perspective of a destination for dinnertime, I'd slightly reduce my rating. If you are in the midst of power shopping and the call of hunger pangs beckons you to satisfy that urge, but don't want to venture to the madness of the mall food court, Bazille in Nordstrom's might fit that bill. After all, it's a sit down joint with a host and waiters. There's even a full bar if you want a stiff one to calm down those shopping nerves. On our most recent visit, which is on the top floor of Nordstrom, we found the joint mostly empty going on noon. (However, beware...I've seen it packed at noon a number of times in the past.) We grabbed a booth, and saw our waiter in moments. I grabbed the Cilantro Lime salad topped with 4 or 5 good sized shrimp. My order literally appeared in minutes. A decent portion to stoke up those engines for more noon-time shopping. And even better... it was tasty. And a far cry from grabbing something in the good court. That is, unless you're into food courts. In that case...never mind.“

“Large birthday party, but servers handled it well. Music was fabulous, amazing singer and saxaphone was off the charts. Need to hear them yourself.Parking: Lots of parkingKid-friendliness: Family restaurant. Kids got up to dance as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. Ramp up to door level is to left of patio.“

“Greta place to work or meet up for a quick chat. I love their chai latte, and they have a lot of options as far as flavor syrups for your coffee. Their food is pretty good too.If you’re someone who likes coffee shop ambience to study or work, this is a great place with good vibes and a great menu.“

“10 out of 10. We come here often but tonight I felt like I needed to leave a review. Everything was so delicious. We ordered 2 pounds of boiled shrimp and we ordered it extra spicy and juicy and they gave me exactly that. Extremely satisfied. Definitely recommend.“

“Love Amigos! Fernando is a amazing server! Entire staff always smiling and courteous! A please to speak with the owners when they greet us at the door! Brisket chimichonga, brisket tacos and taco dinners are extremely large portions! Warm chips and salsa provided always make the margaritas more enjoyable!“

“Over all very good, but I find it very insulting and insensitive during a record heat wave to leave bottled water in the room with a price tag of $5 a bottle, really really need to rethink this practice!! Besides this the hotel was very good!!“

“Good place to eat and chill. But ....your gonna charge 3% cause prices are rising and that is not my problem considering you automatically charge 20% gratuity - give the souvenir cup. For real.. just consider it! 100+ bucks and we can't keep a souvenir cup???“

“Food is pretty decent - Pizza was really good last week. Burger/Fries average. BUT - when taking may order - I should have been told that the curly fries were an extra $2 and ranch was and extra as well! Made the lunch menu price not so good.“

“I LOVE this little random bar. It’s inside Alamo Drafthouse. I’ve never seen a movie here so I’m not sure if the same menu is served in the theaters. I have tried the buffalo cauliflower wings a few times and they are always so good! The burger is a burger. Not better or worse than other places. The pizza is really tasty also. Tons of amazing local beers on draft also. The bartenders are also really friendly. Updated from previous review on 2022-07-05“

“Got here as an early evening stop before dinner. Bar was sleepy and staff still organizing for the impending onslaught. Service could have been more prompt given the dearth of clientele, but our bartender was intimate with the drink menu and was helpful in steering us to good selections. He was gracious to tweak recipes to the taste of my more sweet-minded friend.Appreciate any establishment dedicated to the demanding craft of cocktails over well call drinks.The bar furniture itself is amazing. Industrial swivel stools built I to the bar horseshoe which easily stow away. Points for inventive architectural detailing.“

“I'm not a hater so I'm not gonna post a bad review I can tell it's fairly new. I came in for lunch and they had one server and I can tell the owners of the place were in handling some business they were nice. I ordered takoyaki it was decent. I didn't go for the ramen it was lunch time and I didn't want to be waking around all full and tired so I went for the Japanese fried rice choice of chicken beef and shrimp or combination. I asked if I can do a pork belly instead of the other choices, without hesitation she said NO. I was a bit taken back because what ramen place doesn't have a traditional pork belly bowl, you serve pork belly with the ramen. Anyways that's my only complain because I sat at the bar by the kitchen and I heard one of them customizing an order. If it was extra I wouldn't care that's how most ramen place operate. Other than that food was good and like I said place looked new for the owners to be putting in work. In due time hope more is added to the menu.“

“Dined with friends this evening. Good wine list, great beers on tap and a yummy mocktail without a side eye.The service was attentive. Our server answered questions about wines, beers and menu specialities with a smile and refreshed, served and replenished without interrupting any of our conversation!The Parmesan crusted chicken with arugula was delicious as was the salmon (cooked to a perfect medium) and broccolini with farro. We had the soup special, creamy mushroom, which was rich but not too creamy and beautifully seasoned. The sides we shared were the Mac n Cheese (hot and cheesy) and the truffle fries which were thin, salty and fried to perfection. They were served with a horseradish dipping sauce.It was a great meal in a beautiful location for a good price.Seriously. Where can you find a dining experience like that in 2024?We will definitely be back soon!“

“Edited for July 3, 2023..Stopped by tonight not remembering there were fireworks shows in the area. Bar was packed with lots of folks just ordering Waters... Still, it was like the staff wasn't prepared. Only one of the usual bartenders, and a couple of hard-working waitresses. But there were a couple of guys behind the bar that you could tell where only upper management trying to fill in with no clue what they were doing. I ordered some to-go food, and the order was messed up and missing some items. I have the brisket tacos and head asked for brussels sprouts, but they miss that and put in chips. The chips were extremely stale. This place seems to be going downhill as some of the original staff are not there anymore.Stopped by tonight for beverage. Felt it might have been a little overpriced for a double bourbon, but the friendly bartender made it worth it. Wish I could remember her name.“

“Great little dive bar/restaurant. The waiters were very attentive. The drinks and food arrived quickly. Can't complain about anything.(Something to note though, some of the earlier reviews for Interurban are from Fish 'n Tails, which used to be at this address. Interurban's menu has more Hispanic flair, although seafood is also available.)“

“What I expect from Tex Mex, standard flavours, nothing unexpected. I ordered the Picoso Burrito Plate with shrimp as my meat for $3.99 extra. The shrimp were nicely done, not over-cooked which was great and sautéed with onions and peppers, wrapped in a tortilla and smothered with some spicy queso. I asked for hot sauce. Sadly, neither the red salsa or green tomatillo sauce were spicy and the white sauce just tasted like ranch. Served with choice of black or refried beans, rice and a drink, it was a good meal for the price and all ingredients appeared fresh. Service at the bar was friendly and all my questions about the menu were answered.“

“Haven't ever tried the food here but it's a great place for drinks. Absolutely the BEST water. And I know that sounds crazy, but it's the best. They also have a really fun and inventive cocktail list, plus some of your old standards. My only gripe is they put freaking cinnamon in an old fashioned. Cinnamon has no place in that drink lolParking: Good luck finding parking - not really possible in this entire area.“
