Head north to this nightclub and restaurant where there’s dancing, a rooftop bar, a secret garden, and a patio with a water view. In addition to Italian food and snacks, it serves cocktails and bottle service (who knew that would ever come to McKinney?).

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.

Yes, this is a wonderful new pizza place and an excellent spot to watch the game. But it’s also a masterful martini bar. Order from the custom menu of options or go deep into the well of available vodkas and gins to create the martini of your dreams.

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.

If exclusivity and intimacy are the vibe of the ideal cocktail bar, then Tina’s Continental in the Continental Gin Building in Deep Ellum is the spot. This martini bar has decor influenced by the Lincoln Continental Mark V, a luxury car from the ‘70s, all in 800 square feet. It’s got a menu of martini-based cocktails devised by mixologists as well as a build-your-own martini option.

This tiny speakeasy above Saint Rocco’s at Trinity Groves bears the nickname for the area of Dallas it’s in, from it’s gangster and gin-running days of Prohibition. Bonnie and Clyde even grew up nearby. Try the Godfather, a scotch and amaretto concoction, or the Corpse Reviver No. 2, made with mezcal.

Why not party like DFW’s next big music star? Country singer Koe Wetzel opened this bar and restaurant in the spring, emphasis on the bar part. It’s got classic bar foods, taps, and cocktails galore. The move for summer is surely to order a Dolores Abernathy, made with vodka, St Germain, lime, cranberry, and blood oranges.
