Mark RondeauJanuary 22, 2018The Standard Pour in Dallas' Uptown has great cocktails on menu & knowledgeable and friendly bartenders who can create anything you wish according to your tastes! (2900 McKinney Ave, Dallas, TX 75204)
EaterMarch 28, 2013This uptown spot is a breath of fresh air on McKinney Ave. Sip a Life & Death, champagne spiked with Aperol and absinthe, or try a shot of Dude, Sweet Chocolate-infused Rumpleminze.
Rose IbrahimAugust 22, 2013Free dinner for ladies on Wednesdays with a reservation. I loved their Mac and cheese! And the ambiance is just perfect, liked their patio. I'll be back to try their brunch!
The Peach Smash is absolutely delicious...but you really can't go wrong with any of their drinks...just know this place is a cocktail bar...not a drink-slinging bar. Be patient!
Emily AdamsFebruary 17, 2013I'm not from Dallas. This place is AWESOME! Well crafted drinks, very impressive. Good and knowledgable service. I wish more bars in more cities had a cocktail program half as good as this place.
They're known for their Moscow Mules, but for a bit more southern flair I'd suggest a Kentucky Mule which subs in Maker's Mark for the vodka. For a bite to eat, my favorite is the fried chicken.
Dallas ObserverSeptember 11, 2014If you order the Brimstone, the 'tender takes a pile of wood chips and lights 'em up, smoking the inside of your cocktail glass before adding ice and the cocktail itself.
Lana VenturaOctober 5, 2015Real cocktail bars! Wednesday it's girl night with free 3-course menu and live music. You need to book in advance. Audience is relatively young.
Josh PettijohnFebruary 3, 2016Great cocktails and live blues?/big band on Sunday nights. A little pricey but worth it.
Jelena BoldtJuly 7, 2012I give Standard Pour the 'Most Creative' award in uptown. Upbeat and charming, owner seems like he lives here for the love of being the drink master. Great food, patio and social spot!
The cheese plate is not to be missed - one of the most beautiful in dallas
Tanyell MageeApril 4, 2013Do yourself a favor and get the Fried Chicken! You will not be disappointed. Some of the best I've had since I've been in Dallas. Better than Sissy's. Yep, I said it! lol :-)
Fabulous brunch! Get the breakfast sandwich, omelet or chicken and waffles- all deeelish!
They used to have an awesome cheeseboard sourced from Scardello, and I didn't find their new cheeses as tasty. Still a nice spread of sides.
Fashion LadderJune 20, 2013New drink and food menu. Not bad! Lots of cool new stuff, but they don't have the egg white drinks on the menu, you have to ask. Also, live music on Wednesday- On my list of Best Mixology Cocktail Bars in Dallas! To get an amazing drink you must go to the bar and find Eddie or Brian. Simply tell him what flavors you like. He will take it from there.
- On my list of Best Mixology Cocktail Bars in Dallas! To get an amazing drink you must go to the bar and find mixologist Polo or Nico. Simply tell him what flavors you like. He will take it from there.
- Best Drinks in Uptown. Just tell them what you like and you won't be disappointed.
This place is great any night of the week! Chillout in the week and enjoy not being overcrowded fri/sat while still being able to talk & get served in good time. Don't come here if you aren't already!
Michaela ChybowskiOctober 14, 2013Good cocktails! Strawberry rye sour is a great balance of sour, sweet, and bitter. And I do NOT like drinks where you taste the whiskey.
Corey BaumgardnerJanuary 16, 2013Honey and cinnamon infused rye - you'll be doing yourself a disservice if you don't try it... Cheers!
Kelly MooreApril 18, 2013Lucky/Eddie is the one of the best bartenders in Dallas, hands down. He works T-F. Tell him what you like and he will not disappoint.
Michael MisiorskiAugust 24, 2016Macallan old fashions, fried chicken and the pork sliders amazing. Great meal with friends
Natalie VJune 26, 2016Great craft cocktails! I had the Moscow Mule and my friend had a Negroni; both very good.
Alexandra RodriguesJanuary 25, 2013Jennifer is amazing; they serve apple spice rum in a shot to cleanse your palette right when you walk in!
Aaron MotsingerAugust 9, 2014Whiskey selection is great and the bartenders seem knowledgable, but the level of service is lacking on busy nights.
Annie FosterOctober 29, 2014So fun and trendy! Really awesome cocktail menu and the food is great too.
MarkuMay 19, 2012These people are doing it right! Every drink is perfect! Try the Lobster Nachos...they're FANTASTIC!
Matthew PaulJanuary 7, 2015They only have one port wine. Small specialty cocktails. Delicious but pricy. You pay for what you get!
- Sean McCarthySeptember 1, 2013Wow.. Have the duck entree.. SOOO yummy.. I just licked that plate clean!
KatrinaFebruary 23, 2013Dames Dinner Club on Wednesdays is great. They even gave us a free cocktail at the end. Only downside is valet. worst service ever. Rude, mean, and totally reckless with my car. And I had to pay $5.
THE best cocktail place in Dallas. The mixologists know what they are doing.
Please be patient with your barmen, "with great preparation, comes a great libation"
Suzanne McginnisNovember 3, 2013Very good sweet breads! Best ive had, but terrible popcorn tasted old
Georg BobbertNovember 21, 2017Super average service... was almost empty and took ages for anything to happen. Order wrong.. subsequent drinks slow and couldn’t give a care. Shouldn’t have tipped at all... lame
H KJuly 14, 2012Don't use valet parking. It's run by two guys who drop f bombs for tipping 100% of the parking fee.
Charlie is the bestest. Catch him at the bar on Wednesdays.
