Devil’s Back Porch

Saint Rocco’s executive chef and co-owner, Jay Valley, adds another concept to the multi-level space boasting some of the best downtown views of any restaurant in West Dallas. The Prohibition-era nickname for the geographical region, Devil’s Back Porch, comes to life while paying homage to the rough-and-tumble days when Bonnie and Clyde and other gangsters made themselves at home in these parts. Guests enter through a separate back entrance to a red-and-black room that feels like a blast from the past, complete with a poker table. The cocktail menu most definitely captures the era with riffs on classics such as the mezcal-fueled Corpse Reviver No. 2 while the food menu offers bar staples including wings, burgers, and quesadillas (filled with lobster in this instance).
