Editorial Review for Obar – by Shellie Killen

In Short
An unassuming facade conceals this posh subterranean spot that's sleek, modern decor exudes elegant sophistication. Hipsters wanting to see and be seen revel among the city's social and business elite. Plush couches surrounded by flickering votives are grouped for intimate conversation. Nestled into alcoves, the flat-screen TVs are unobtrusive. On the terrace, the votives sparkle on oversized ottomans and ultramodern chaises.

What to Drink

The specialty-martini menu offers unique selections. The honeysuckle martini fuses Cruzan light rum with citronge. Orange honey melted onto the glass gives a sweet twist every time you sip. Also offered is the "Strawbelini Flute" with creme de fraise and strawberry puree topped with champagne.

When to Go

Rotations of local house DJs spin Thursday, and Friday, 9:30pm-2am.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I have been going to Obar for almost two years now and it is still my favorite bar in Dallas. The staff makes me feel like I am apart of their family and the crowd always makes for interesting people watching. One of the best things about Obar is that it is eclectic, you don't have to fit a certain profile to feel like you belong. If you haven't been there or if it has been awhile then I suggest hitting it up on a Friday night, the DJ is great!

I'm hispanic, and visit this bar when I can. They treat me very well! I have not felt discriminated against at all. Its a great place, w/o the guestlist nonsense and no cover! Good pours and great patio. Im just going off what i've experienced and it has been great. Crowd has always been diverse on my visits as well.

Pros: no guestlist, no cover

Cons: dallas drink prices are starting to resemble nyc
