Reviews for The Alcove in Dallas, TX
it\'s like Cheers in uptown! A down to earth place for good food craft beer and great wine. Atmosphere is very relaxed and... everyone is very friendly, in cool weather it\'s great to hang on the front patio to meet and watch people! Read more
kind bartender and lovely atmosphere. I had a long layover in dallas and stopped to get some work done here, and it?s a cozy... welcoming space. Read more
I rarely ever leave reviews of establishments, but in this instance I feel that I absolutely must. Last night my husband and I... went to have a glass of wine at The Alcove. We live in State Thomas and the wine bar is just down the street. The entireexperience was terrible. It was unclear where to order and when I went inside to order, the atmosphere and folks at the bar wereICY COLD, VERY unwelcoming. Everyone knew each other\'s names which is awesome, but if they didn\'t know you, you might as wellbe invisible. They acted inconvenienced and annoyed when I tried to order. Then the bartender asked for my ID and she proceededto scrutinize it and check the name also on my credit card. That\'s fine but I\'m 33, not sure why the intense scrutiny. After Iordered they took their time getting the drinks as I awkwardly stood there waiting. How does this place stay in business?Please, just be kind to people... is that too much to ask? I\'m so disappointed because I wished that it was a good experiencebecause this place has so much amazing potential!!!\n\nTo the owner(s) of The Alcove, if you consider yourselves a neighborhoodbar then maybe try to be welcoming to folks other than your \"Cheers crew.\" I feel embarrassed for you all and how you run yourbusiness. I know you\'ve certainly not gained my business or my family or friends. Read more
When I first moved to Dallas I went here with a few girlfriends for wine + cheese. Great experience. The owner came up to our... table and thanked us for our business and shook all of our hands. No one ever does that anymore and it really stuck with me inthe best way. Since our experience, we\'ve all been back many times. I should have wrote this review a long time ago - betterlate than never :) ! Read more
Small, cozy, unpretentious. My kind of place! If I was a native, I?d definitely be a frequent patron. Loved the big projector,... drinks, and friendly staff! Read more
The Alcove is an amazing coffee shop with a great atmosphere. Hayden was friendly, professional, and provided great service!... This shop is a great place for a quick stop or a peaceful stay. Read more
We had my bridal shower here on a Friday evening in August at 7:30pm and the owner let use most of the seating area inside. We... invited 40 and only about half showed up, typical! Phil the owner was very accommodating and allowed for us to bring our ownfood and drinks. All we had to do is spend $250 and not bring pizza, since that is what they specialized in. We preordered thewine bottles and ordered 5 pizzas when we got there. The pizza was absolutely delicious! The only problem was they only hadlimited ingredients, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms and giardiniera. We had to order cheese and mushrooms for the non-porkeaters. Luiz, the bartender was so awesome and very down to earth. The other owner, Jason seemed like he got a little annoyedwith us at one point. Parking is limited in the street but there is a parking garage in the back for residents in the area. The bar in located near lots of residences so there were lots of locals. During the day they have coffee until 3pm, reminds meof Central Perk from Friends ???? Read more
