#dallasspeakeasy We’ve got a secret, can you kee #dallasspeakeasy We’ve got a secret, can you keep it? 🤫 @blackbirdsocietydallas is now open! While this place isn’t actually a secret, you will need reservations to attend. But trust us, planning ahead is worth it! This speakeasy is located in the back of Neon Kitten through an unassuming bookshelf. What you’ll find behind there is truly spectacular. Japanese-inspired cocktails made with top shelf spirits and bar bites that will tingle all 7 senses. Each cocktail comes with a presentation, whether that’s dry ice, smoke or fire. And every drink tells a story, since each cocktail is named after a tarot card. They’re all intentionally made and beautifully presented. If you’re looking to impress a date, this is the place. Exclusive enough to wow someone you care about, but still fun in every regard. Blackbird Society is the perfect combo of upscale dining and cool cocktails.🥂 #hosted #deepellum #dallasspeakeasy

Can't say enough amazing things about @joeleotexme Can't say enough amazing things about @joeleotexmex! This restaurant hits on all cylinders- tasty apps, great drinks (nice and STRONG just the way we like them!) AND outstanding hospitality. The goal here is to have a good time and that's exactly what you'll get. We highly recommend the sour cream chicken enchiladas and "Kyle's favorite", an honorary (and delicious) tribute plate to owner Kyle Noonan! Here's something else you need to know...if you make your way to @joeleotexmex over the weekend, let your waitstaff know you'd like to take a nice little trip upstairs to their newly renovated lounge space...amazing decor and design with super comfy speakeasy vibes! A great end to a satisfying feast. It's a certified hot spot so book fast and book early!
