Located in the Star in Frisco, this glamorous cocktail lounge with light bites has garnered much attention since its opening in October. And with Tipsy Alchemist mixologist Steve “Scuba” Underhill behind the menu and eye-catching decor, it’s easy to understand why. 

In Trophy Club, a new lounge is making a wide range of whiskeys and wines available in a space with a social club feel. The thing that’s a little different here is the self-serve whiskey and wine machines, which invite drinkers to explore 56 wines and 28 whiskeys with the help of a sommelier. It also offers a full menu of cocktails and Asian-inspired tapas-style bites.

For a very special night out, Coupes in Oak Lawn is a midcentury modern, soft pastels Champagne lounge with a carefully curated playlist — both of wines and music.

Can a cocktail bar also be a coffee bar? The folks at Triumph’s are determined to do ‘em both. Order up a coffee or a cocktail — or a whiskey-infused coffee for the best of both worlds — before 3 p.m. daily. Day drinking at its finest.

The Design District is the titular Double D’s referenced in the name of this homey cocktail bar. If you want a comfy basement feel with neon signs galore that serve inventive cocktails, this is the spot.

Fort Worth’s Funky Picnic gets an adults-only extension with a speakeasy vibe in the Back Room. On tap are rare beers from the on-site brewery, light bites, and a creative array of cocktails.
