Thirsty Lion Gastropub not only has a great name but a fantastic design that fuses together elements of American and European pubs. It’s a chain bar, but I like the one in Las Colinas due to its high energy and excellent staff.

Another chain establishment I can highly recommend is 54th Street Restaurant & Drafthouse, and I love the one on Market Pl Blvd, near the Ground Control Trampoline Park. This bar has a large menu. For drinks, don’t hesitate to order their happy hour margarita – it’s delicious!
