Bowen House

AESTHETIC. VIBES. CRAFTSMANSHIP. HOMEY. Pedro was my outstanding bartender. I sat at the bar and had the burger w/ fries. The burger was terrific! It was anything but small, too; no funny business just a straight-forward great burger. I had my go-to, Sazerac, first and then a gin drink from the menu that was also terrific. Finally, I asked for something spicy, and that's where Pedro really showed off. If I wasn't already going back, that drink would've done it for me. If I had a date night I needed to orchestrate, this would be high on the list to patron.

Cool old building with nice patio. Great service. Nice bathrooms! Happy hour on Saturday afternoon was a bonus.

This was easily the most disappointing part of my visit to Dallas. There were high expectations for this craft cocktail bar in a rustic home. The problems began when we arrived an hour before our reservation because our dinner at Las Palmas lasted just an hour because of ultra fast service. While we waited to be seated, at least two other couples without reservations were seated at the bar, which was our requested place to be seated. We were eventually seated at a table. The acoustics were such that the noise level was pretty high. The menu seemed slanted towards having a lot of amaro and bitter flavors, but one could order off the menu or dealer’s choice. The latter was a bad decision by my husband, as what arrived at the table was not according to what he had specified. The server couldn’t tell us the name of the cocktail nor what was in it. The server said he would ask for a replacement, but this never came. Frankly, I’m glad, as I couldn’t wait to get out of there. I would like to rate the establishment less than three stars, but I’m hoping that the lack of polish was a bad night and not indicative, though there is nothing in our experience that would suggest this.

Looking for a great burger ? Try the Bowen Cheeseburger with everything. Trust me, you won’t regret it !

10/10 recommend Bowen House! Service and vibes are awesome, especially if you’re able to snag a table at their back area bar. Sydney our bartender was awesome. Her service and music playlist choice is immaculate! She made me a Passionfruit Paloma which was ahhhmazing. I had 3 of them :)! If you’re into tequila cocktails, order the Passionfruit Paloma.

My favorite bar in Dallas. I’ll drive all the way from Fort Worth just for a drink here.
