23 Best Cocktail Bars near Highland Village

“The best food in the area, Guatemalan food is the best, its flavors and most importantly healthy, made with spices and vegetables, the chef explained to us part of the procedures used in his kitchen, and the prices are reasonable for the quality and flavors, He clarified that it is not the regular Tex Mex food that you find in all the restaurants, its concept is Guatemalan with homemade, healthy flavors, the best thing is that they do not use any pork fat, only organic oils. Visit and support the place! ???????“

“Amazing food and staff, especially the Bartenders! They are all fantastic, but Sarah is my favorite:) Favorite menu items are- Steak Salerno or Tuna Grotto for an app. She crab soup for a second course, and I have to say the Beef and Crab is my ultimate favorite dish! Best place in town“

“Would have given 5 stars for Great customer service and the most outstanding burger I have ever tasted, very juicy and freshbut the seating and roominess is lacking very much. Very compact,, dude sitting behind me shoved me into the table twice. Would definitely recommend just be careful how you're seated.“

“Authentic Mexican food and service!!!! Way better than Gloria’s or Mi Cocina. Small place but give it a shot. I had the tacos Al pastor, hub had the spicy camarones and they were delicious. Can’t wait to come back and try the quesadilla “

“This place is awesome. Above all the whiskey is excellent and there's something to please all palates. Their food is top not-so delicious. The atmosphere is comfy, not pretentious and stylish. We went on a sleepy Tuesday afternoon. Noticed a lovely outdoor "garden" that we'll have to come back to after the storm season passes. Gift shop makes it easy to remember all your friends ?“

“This restaurant offers a big city experience in a small town setting. With delicious heavy hors d'oeuvres and a hip bar, it's the perfect spot for a night out. The service is top-notch, making for an excellent dining experience. Highly recommended for foodies seeking a unique atmosphere.“

“Kara, Jackie, and John are absolutely amazing. I love the atmosphere here, they have decorated the bar beautifully, when you visit ask to be shown the “deuce Wayne” hilarious painting. They teach art classes and have a diy craft room too! A perfect date night or girls night out. Kara did an amazing job crafting all of the cocktail menu, she even made a nonalcoholic menu too for those who do not/can not drink. Such a wonderful staff. Lauren, Dara, and Elle are excellent bartenders as well, I’ve never had a bad time here. 10/10 recommend.“

“Beautiful bar, great service. Try the mushroom pizza“

“Went to go see Nika at the VYB Lounge on Thursday the 12th. I had a great time and really liked the song Spaceman that was played. I was really disappointed because I heard that @augustinian_alexander on instagram was giving a lot of heat for no reason. I even heard he posted a negative review on the internet.Overall I had a great time I would love to go back and see Nika preform again.“

“This place is underrated! Came here for a party/event and the staff was very friendly and nice, and had everything set up. I didn't have high expectations for the food to be that good since it looked more like a boba cafe (as it was decorated really floral and pretty) and was a bar after all, but the food stood out on its own as well! The kimchi pork, rabokki, fish soup, creamy seafood pasta were SO good-- and I could actually imagine myself coming back here just for the food itself haha. The somek was also good, and as said before, service was friendly and great.“

“This is a very centrally-located tiny slice of heaven: A postcard-worthy eclectic draft beer dispensary in the inner city of Denton proper. Among the types are the savagely-enabled and dark malted Velvet Hammer, which refers to the high alcohol content offering, accompanied by a slightly sweet after taste to capture the thrill of victory in one's own life. It's not a bad day to have a frosty beverage at Oak Street Draft House. Cheers, Mark F.“

“Vibrant interiors and great pasta!We really enjoyed the “Rasta Pasta”! The pepperoni pizza was also good, but was a tad bit small!Parking can be a bit hard to find since it is located in historic downtown Denton.Service was good, but a bit slow.They do not have any high chairs or booster seats! One family next to us was struggling with their toddler. Not very kid friendly, I’d say!“

“My husband made reservations for my birthday but they had a difficult time finding it and didn't seem to expect our party of five. Once we were seated the service was excellent and the food/drinks were outstanding! The atmosphere was fun and not noisy - a definite plus! I'm looking forward to going back.“

“Always good drinks, service, atmosphere and vibes! Offers great mock tails! Walking distance to several hot spots near the square. A particular favorite of mine is their old fashioned on tap. They add lemon and chocolate bitters! So unexpectedly delicious! ??“

“Great relaxed bar! Fun fact, owner Joshua only works on Tuesdays, and is super great to discuss cocktails with! My sisters and I shared so many different ones which was a great way to try more of the great flavors on the menu.The Rosemary Maple Bourbon Smash or the China Doll (may not be on the menu, so just ask for it) were my two favorites. The Whiskey Smash was a little too sour/tart for my liking but still made with love! The dude had WONDERFUL coffee flavor as expected with coffee liqueur made in house!Definitely worth a stop if in the area. Would be a regular bar for me if I lived here!“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere! We went with a group to celebrate my graduation. The menu is small but there was something for everyone and all the food was good. The mushroom ravioli was unexpected the star of the night. Also, there is a cute area in the back, where we took a group photo. I'll be going back for the appetizers and drinks, soon!“

“Very good food high quality staff is very nice, the music was just a bit too loud. Also a lot of reviews complaining about getting a waiter attention. There is a call button and the waiter came almost immediately. It is not like a regular restaurant most asian restaurants are like that. If you looked at the table you would see it… Service was amazing so idk why people are complaining.“

“We eat here about every 3-4 weeks...it is that good! Their queso is perhaps the top in the metroplex. From taste to consistency, it cannot be beat. Paired with consistently crispy chips, it's a great appetizer. Their 'dos burritos' entree is amazing! So wonderful and filling. Meat inside is perfect and not dry. Sauced perfectly and with rice and beans. The bandera enchilada plate is a 100% winner. All 3 are equally enjoyable (unlike other places where one type overshadows the others). And their chile relleno is special- with carnitas stuffed. Another amazing dish. Service is about perfect and always friendly. Prices are reasonable and even a little lower than others. We've eaten at both locations. Both good but the Carrollton location has more charm. And their margarita is way above others. Not overly sweet. This place is wonderful. Enjoy it- we do often.“

“I love coming here to Paschalls- I’ve been here 3 times now and the best part of my experience was the friendliness of the staff! Victoria has helped me and my friends and family and is always really helpful - makes the perfect cocktails and is able to cater towards your preferences. I really appreciate her! She’s amazing!“

“Food was good! Roasted whole chicken wasn’t so good it was too dry:/ We got chicken feet, pork belly, grilled squid, fried squid and spicy golbangi noodle they were alllllll good. Our favorite was spicy chicken feet!! Service was good atmisphere was good but it was so dark we asked if they could turn on the light more ? and they did.“

“Drinks are always great, but first time coming on a weekend. Bartenders and staff were on top of keeping creeps from ruining our birthday night by kicking them out without us even asking. Felt extremely safe due to the staff’s quick response to inappropriate behavior. Would drink and dance here again.“

“I’m really glad I gave this place a try. If you’re in the mood for fresh seafood with an Hispanic flare this is it. I really enjoyed my plate of Ceviche. The prices are higher than I want, BUT you get plenty of food so just eat it twice? It tasted just as amazing the next day. You are getting octopus without traveling to the coast so?‍♂️ I’m cool with it! Can’t wait to go back! They do have one plate of fried food for anyone that doesn’t want fresh stuff“

“I have driven by this place dozens of times since moving to Denton and finally stopped in today. It has a serious, "Denton Vibe." It would be a great place to grab a drink - with perfect appetizers after work. The fish and chips were cooked perfectly and offered a jalapeño tartar sauce for a nice Texas touch. I will be back.“
