If you are looking for delicious cocktails in surroundings perfect for a romantic rendezvous or catch-up with friends, you've come to the right place. Tucked inside the lobby of the Warwick Melrose Hotel (a historic Dallas landmark dating back to 1924) – this suave, shelf-lined drinking den is quite possibly the coziest place to sip a drink in the city. Not to mention, it's also where you can listen to a host of jazz musicians tickling the ivories six nights a week. And though you probably won't be reading any of the books in the shelves, you will want to be sure to read the drinks menu, which covers everything from crafted tipples to over 27 selections of wine by the glass. Oh, and come hungry, the bar food here is top-notch too.
