Couches at Work, Deep Ellum

You know how the saying goes: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy... unless of course you're talking about Work, the Deep Ellum bar & grill with a loose 9-to-5 theme and waitresses dressed like sexy secretaries, in which case, Jack would actually sorta be the man."

Interior at Work, Deep Ellum

WBG turns the old Sambuca spot at Elm & Good Latimer into what the owner describes as a "five-star dive bar", wherein four stars go to the craft beer and BBQ, and one to the intentionally "rough-around-the-edges" interior (AHHH! CONCRETE FLOORS!! NOOO, NOT BRICK WALLS!!!).

'Cue includes whole chickens, pulled pork, and -- of course -- brisket that's been smoked for 12-15hrs and glazed with a marinade that's so brown sugar-laden it forms a sugar cookie-like crust when it cooks.

Bar at Work, Deep Ellum

And since all those meat cookies'll no doubt make you thirsty, hit up the bar for local taps like DEBC and Peticolas -- two thirst-quenchers that'll really hit the spot when it's Shining out.
