    Get your Q.B. Cooler at Swizzle tiki bar on Greenville Avenue.

    Swizzle

    August is here, which means it’s time for another installment of Where to Drink, CultureMap Dallas’ monthly collection of happy hours, cocktails, and specials. This collection includes a reverse happy hour, artist-inspired drinks, and buzzy boba tea.

    Here’s where to drink in Dallas this month:

    The Alley Music House
    Addison restaurant-speakeasy bar with live music offers daily cocktail specials during the unusual and crowd-pleasing hours of 7-8 pm, when select cocktails are $10, including whiskey sour, alley margarita, and Long Island. They also offer a reverse happy hour on weekend nights, practically unheard of, Friday-Saturday 11 pm-1 am, featuring a $6 house selection.

    Babou’s
    Hôtel Swexan’s hideaway cocktail lounge has a new artsy happy hour inspired by famed surrealist Salvador Dali, with discounted cocktails and bites. Cocktails include the melting clock elixir, named for Dali's famous painting; a bourbon drink Mr. Salvador Dali; surrealist 75, and the dream weaver. Small bites include a lobster roll, chicken salad gougére, and an ice cream sandwich, from $12 to $24. It's Wednesday-Saturday 5-7 pm.

    DeLucca Gaucho Pizza
    Churrascuria pizza concept has a regular weekday happy hour Monday-Friday from 4:30-6 pm with $8 cocktails and small plate. But they also host two special days with drink specials all day: Meetup Monday, with $8 select wine and cocktails from open to close; and Toast Tuesdays featuring half-price glasses of wine and caipirinhas.

    Shot Tea Boba Bar
    North Dallas spot does something you don't find everywhere: spiked boba tea. They're featuring a drink of the month for August: spiked peach green tea lemonade, with tequila, peach syrup, jasmine green tea, lemonade, and rainbow & lychee jelly. Prices range from $8-$10. There are also alcohol-free options, milk teas, and slushies for $4-$5. The shop likes to party: They host DJs every Saturday. Hours are Tuesday-Thursday from 3-10 pm and Friday and Saturday from 2-11 pm.

    Swizzle
    Fun tiki bar on Greenville Avenue is known for its weekday happy hour from 4-6 pm, when you can escape the ordinary and sip tiki cocktails for $7 with crab rangoon bites. But they're also hosting two special all-day happy hours with gotta-have drinks, including "Tiki Tuesday" — when you can get the Swizzle Q.B. Cooler, named by Donn the Beachcomber and rumored to be the cocktail on which the now famous Mai Tai was based; and "Whip It Wednesdays" when they serve $5 frozens such as the Frozen Saturn with Blue Coat gin.

    Viral TikTok food influencer, critic, and Dallas resident Keith Lee has introduced another title to his resume: investor in Brooklyn Dumpling Shop. To celebrate, he will make an appearance and greet fans at the restaurant's Deep Ellum Dallas location on Friday, March 6.

    "More than just a restaurant visit, Keith Lee and Brooklyn Dumpling Shop will be celebrating their new strategic partnership by engaging with the local community," says a release.

    Here are the what-where-when details, per the release:

    Location: Brooklyn Dumpling Shop, 2548 Elm St., Dallas

    Time: The restaurant opens at 11 am Friday. But the actual event will take place from 2-3 pm; that is when Lee is expected to be there. (He will give details on his TikTok account, a spokesperson says.) Get there early because ...

    What: The first 100 guests in line will receive free Brooklyn Dumpling Shop merchandise, and samples will be passed out for guests to enjoy while they wait in line.

    Chances of shaking Keith's hand: Good. "Keith Lee will make an appearance, serving guests and engaging directly with the community during the event," organizers say.

    What else is happening: There will also be opportunities to shop local vendors and small business booths, "giving guests the chance to browse, shop, and connect while they wait in line," they say.

    The multi-year partnership with Brooklyn Dumpling Studio marks Lee's first investment in a brand. Lee has over 20 million followers across social media and is known for his transparent reviews (like this one, of Dallas matcha shops) that spark swift consumer response. He moved to Dallas in 2024.

    "I've always believed that food brings people together, and that's what stood out to me about Brooklyn Dumpling Shop," says Lee in the release. "It's creative, it's accessible, and it doesn't cut corners on flavor. Partnering with Brooklyn Dumpling Shop is about more than just great food, it's about community, culture, and creating experiences people can enjoy and trust. I'm excited to be part of what they're building and to help introduce even more people to something special."

    The Deep Ellum Dallas location was Brooklyn Dumpling Shop's first restaurant in Texas. It opened in 2023, offering traditional and specialty dumplings influenced by flavors found in a typical New York City diner. The concept was founded in New York in 2021.
