HIDE

This sleek Deep Ellum spot is one of the most popular drinking dens in the city. And no wonder: it's a cozy neighborhood bar with friendly bar staff and a beverage program that pushes the boundaries of the cocktail experience. Almost everything that goes into their drinks is handcrafted (sodas, syrups, juices, tinctures, bitters and garnishes) with the help of fancy equipment like centrifuges and roto-vaporizers. Needless to say, the tempting range of cocktails won't make your decision of what to drink an easy one. But no worries, they offer a variety of menus based on your taste and mood, including an experimental section for those looking for a little more adventure. Even better, Hide has some seriously knockout bar food (think, ahi poke tacos, gyro tartines and steak frites) and a daily happy hour with drinks on offer for $6 to $7 a piece.
