Guidebook for Dallas
Drinks & Nightlife
It's a pub with a lively, but laid-back scene, great beer selections, and delicious pub food. I personally love the Grilled Chicken Salad and the Reuben Sandwich. They also have a skinny fries dish (Frites) with three dipping sauces that is delicious! My favorite drink is called the Black Widow-- walk on down, grab a table and order one!
