Bowen House

Historic & Handcrafted

What makes it fun

Bowen House is Dallas’s historic hideaway that’s the perfect spot for handcrafted cocktails with your sweetheart. Bowen House is housed in an 1874 farmhouse turned speakeasy-chic cocktail bar. With dim lighting, plush booths, marble tabletops, vintage photos, and a stunning chandelier, the ambiance whispers old-love charm with a modern twist. This space is steeped in history and even has tales of ghostly guest Mary Bowen flickering lights for fun. Chat with a mixologist instead of scanning a menu, order a personalized potion, or choose from weekly-changing chalkboard specials.

The atmosphere was wonderful. Loved the vibe in the back room with all the clouds on the ceiling. Our bartender was amazing, very attentive and made great cocktails.! We didn’t eat there but the next time I’m in Dallas it’s on my list to come back to try their food

Didn’t have reservations but got a nice spot for two at the bar. Definitely date night vibes. Bartender was a pro and we enjoyed all of his recommendations.

I LOVED Bowen House! I came here for a peaceful night after work to read for a bit and check out such a unique, historical spot! I LOVED IT!

The cocktails were delicious and unique — I loved the London-themed cocktail (served in a teacup)! The wine selection was also great! I had the ahi tacos (my first time ever trying anything like them) and after that, I started eating them more often because Bowen House’s was so good!

The employees were very friendly and helpful, and fun to chat with! The ambience both inside and outside was lovely and unique. I say and enjoyed the late summer night outdoors, but the inside almost won me over!

Highly recommend for a nice night out!

Our waiter at The Finch recommended Bowen House and it did not disappoint! It was extremely loud and busy when we went, but we were immediately put on the waiting list and were seated before our drinks came out. The cocktails were excellent - espresso martini was heavier on the espresso flavor which was great but the bitter lemon soda was SO refreshing. Lorenzo was our primary bartender and he was levelheaded and organized despite the chaos and some *slightly* impatient customers. The drinks were a bit more expensive than I’m used to but it was such a cool location and great quality that I think it was worth it

Visited this cute spot to celebrate a birthday! It’s a house that’s been converted into restaurant. The ambiance was on point and we celebrated in a private room in the back.

The decor is beautiful, the low lighting is sexy, and the private room has clouds painted on the ceiling. It was perfect for the number of guests(10-12) and we were all able to converse without competing with everyone else in the restaurant’s conversations.

The food was great as well and you should check out the Tuna Tacos. They’re an excellent choice!

It’s a great spot for date night or gathering with friends.

We just had an amazing experience tonight! We sat outside and the weather was perfect. It is so beautiful out front covered with big trees. We loved so much about our experience but to start off the cocktails are to die for. Every drink we had was a 10. The food was also delicious. I had the burger and it did not disappoint. Overall this was a perfect restaurant experience and feels like a local secret.

My favorite place in Dallas since I’ve moved here, whether it’s HH at 5 or a stop on a night out. Service is on point, food is fantastic. I haven’t had a drink on their, ever-changing, menu that I haven’t truly enjoyed. Get the cheeseburger and sit with Lorenzo.
