When in the Lone Star State for a bevy, Tejas is a top fave for cocktails in Bishop Arts. Tejas has some of our favorite margaritas around with many flavor combinations. All of their margaritas are made with their house agua frescas. Make sure to try the Frozen Paloma with tequila, lime grapefruit, and of course, a tajin rim. Spice up your margarita with a tamarind float, prickly pear float, ehamoy float, or jalapeno-infused tequila. Ole!

When in the Bishop Arts District of Dallas, Oddfellows pairs upscale comfort food with cocktails. We loved the Hibiscus Infused Mojito and the buffalo mac and cheese. They are well-known for their chef-driven menu that can best be described as classic American fare with a selection of seasonal dishes and cocktails in Bishop Arts that are scratch made. Bottoms up!
