The self-proclaimed "living room of Uptown" is the upscale antidote to your tried-and-true dive or SMU frat bar. In addition to an endless list of craft cocktails (go for the Dallas Sour) with constant happy hours, this joint has a short and sweet menu with creative bar bites (falafel wraps, chicken and waffle sandwiches), amazing brunch specials (gorge yourself on a bowl of tots topped with eggs and sliced avocado) and, arguably the most important feature, a dog-friendly patio with fountains and treats galore.
