Situated in the trendy Knox-Henderson neighborhood, The Dram is the perfect place to have a cocktail. This new upscale lounge fits right into the Dallas nightlife scene, in that you have to dress to impress. Some of Dallas' most beautiful people love it here, so it's a great place to people watch. If you're in the mood for an elegant cocktail or want to kick back with a fine whiskey or champagne, you'll be in luck at The Dram. This lounge features a wide variety of premium spirits and cocktails, and they call their bartenders "bartenders" - rather than the annoying "mixologist" title being thrown around in other parts of town.

The bouncer at the door is strict though, so you'll have to make a great impression on him at the door! You can make reservations ahead of time to make sure you get in, and reservations don't mean you have to order expensive bottle service. But once you get in, you'll be treated to a laid-back, cool vibe, complete with comfy velvet couches, dim lighting and hardwood floors. The DJ spins a mix of house, R&B and funk music, so you may even want to get up to dance.
