Bowen House

Come for the creative cocktails, stay for a Double Cheeseburger and Chicken Salad laden with buttery Ritz crackers at this circa-1874 landmark home. Grab a coveted spot by the fireplace when the weather’s cold, or a spot on the patio when the sun’s out. Either way, you’re well positioned to partake in some of the area’s best drinks.
How to book: Call 214-484-1385 or stop by for first come, first served seating.

Bowen House is another bar where in addition to the actual drink menu, your best bet is to simply tell your server or bartender what you enjoy, and voila! Out comes a drink crafted specifically for your every want and desire (cocktail-wise, that is). Located in an actual old house where someone named Bowen lived (all the way back in the 1870s), you sort of feel like you’re just hanging out at a friend’s sweet Uptown spot with a private bartender. Bonus: your "friend" also has some amazing chefs on call in his kitchen.
How to book: Stop by for first come, first served seating or call 214-484-1385 between noon and 3 pm to inquire about reservations.

Walk into this historic home known mostly for craft cocktails and a lively happy hour, then do your patriotic duty and order the double-meat Bowen Cheeseburger that comes loaded with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles on a kaiser roll laden with ketchup and mayo. And don’t stop there: Treat yourself to a side of the killer house-cut fries and a cocktail or two.
How to book: Call 214-484-1385 for take-out and reservations.
