Atlas
Atlas is your neighborhood bar with a global twist on food and drinks.

Better yet, indulge in bratwurst or beef pho from their global bites. With doors open until 2am every day of the week, this spot is a must-add to your weekend itinerary.
Ayahuasca Cantina
Our cantina menu, originally created by closely collaborating with Chef Hugo Galvan, was inspiration from dishes and meals we grew up eating with family back in Mexico. We have since expanded our menu with Chef Monica Andrade Lopez where we took it back to the basics. Chef Andrade Lopez has adapted to unique ingredients and game found ranging freely in a much simpler time. Come join us for dinner and pair it with craft cocktails from diverse Mexican distillates which are sure to impress.
Babou’s
Inspired by Salvador Dalí’s beloved ocelot, Babou’s embodies a playful rebellion against the norm. Hidden below street level, in the ultra-luxury Hôtel Swexan, our lush and energetic cocktail lounge invites you to explore every vibrant corner and let your curiosity roam free.

Bacari Tabu
Bacari Tabu revives the spirit of a classic Dallas staple, Strictly Tabu, one of the oldest jazz clubs in town from the mid-50s to the late 90s.

Make sure to book a table to savor their Venetian-style tapas, pizza, or pasta. If you end up at the bar, don't worry—there's no bad view of the stage from anywhere you sit.
