Deep Ellum craft cocktail · Dallas
Dallas bar scene's signature style: a spirit-forward cocktail on American whiskey or agave, with a Southwestern flavour element (dried chile, mole bitters, smoked salt) and a long-form preparation.
Deep Ellum's cocktail scene developed in the early 2010s alongside the BBQ and restaurant renaissance in the neighbourhood. Midnight Rambler opened in The Joule Hotel in 2013 and established the standard for craft cocktails in Dallas, eventually earning a World's 50 Best Bars ranking. The neighbourhood bars that followed borrowed the focus on house-made ingredients and Southwestern flavour profiles while making the format accessible at a walk-in price point.
