Bar Colette

This place is like stepping into a dream. Lovely ambience, wonderful staff and service, music not too loud so you can actually talk, and superb drinks. I was able to walk in on a Friday without a reservation and get a table with my friend. Plus, it's right outside the trolley stop. Couple tips, maybe some art on that blank wall, and the menu font was so small I took a photo so I wouldn't be that guy looking at it with my phone flashlight. Can't wait to come back!

We visited this bar on Tuesday 8/13 and had an amazing time. We came back this Friday 8/16 and had the worst service imaginable and it was not busy in the restaurant. It took 45 minutes to get drinks. At one point we got up and walked to the bar to get our drinks ourselves. When our charcuterie board came out, it was missing breadsticks and crackers. When I asked the server where the crackers were, she said the food on the board changes frequently. I told her that we came three days earlier and the board had crackers and bread. Were we supposed to eat the cheese and meat with our hands with nothing to spread them on? Even if the food changes, why would there be no crackers or bread or food item on which to spread the cheese and meats?When we visited on 8/13, every table was packed and the service was impeccable. Everyone has an off day but on 8/16 there were maybe 2-3 tables occupied (ours included) and not a single person at the bar. There were three bartenders inside - there's no reason it should have taken 45 minutes to get one drink. The outside seating had a totally different wait staff, so I can't imagine why our one server could not manage our orders. We had to ask her numerous times where are drinks were.We spent $400 here for terrible service, only for it to end with them pushing us out the door.I will not go back nor will I recommend.

Stop here before or after Namo - you can't go wrong! They have great cocktails, including all of the classics. Indoor and outdoor seating too with heaters. Service was great!

Bar Colette is a lovely place to meet for drinks. We met here for cocktails before driving around Highland Park to see Christmas Lights. We enjoyed our cocktails, but the appetizers lacked luster. The Wagyu tostadas were not what we expected. They were literally half of a tostada with a squished meatball on top... for $14 each. We ordered four of these... better off called No Frills no cheese meatball nachos. The drinks were not traditional; they had a fun spin to them. The bar itself is simply gorgeous!

I enjoyed Bar Colette. Super cute and quaint place in west village perfect for girls night. The welcome drink was a nice touch but a bit too sweet for my liking. I love a bar that has true craft cocktails and Bar Colette did not disappoint there. I ordered the calle 8 which was a tropical clarified milky cocktail. It sounds crazy but tastes AMAZING! My friend ordered the parfait cocktail and she loved it. For food, the menu is very small. We ordered the shrimp tempura and wagyu tostada for an appetizer. Both were delicious! The tostada caught me by surprise by how tiny it was, I wouldn't say it was worth $14. We also had the medusa roll (9/10) and shrimp and salmon roll (3/10 had chunks of lemon on the roll very off putting). Overall great experience, I'll be back to try more cocktails soon.

The food here is excellent, and if you go now you have the chance to try appetizers crafted by a Michelin starred chef, Christophe De Lellis, who is manning the Bar Colette kitchen until the opening of Mamana in Uptown this Fall. The cocktails are similarly world class, we all enjoyed the wide variety we tried with the Al Pastor mezcal cocktail being our favorite. Patio service is quick but needs fans with the Texas heat, limited seating inside but the entire establishment is very tranquil and transports you out of West Village and Dallas.

Amazing cocktail bar in west village. The ambiance reminded me of a bar in NYC or another trendy international town.Super high end experience with service, ambiance, and cocktails to match.We got several cocktails (see pics) and even tried several of the dishes. The steak was delicious and apparently we ate it all before the camera could eat!The only dish that wasn't on point was the duck. It was a little dry and overcooked for our taste.The cocktails were the highlight of the evening and the main reason to visit bar Collette. Each one was super well crafted and the bar ware is next level. Each glass matches fits its contents like a glove. Whether you are in the mood for something on a big cube, straight up, or served with foam, they got you.The only thing I wish was different when it comes to the cocktail service is the actual creation of the cocktails. My understanding is everything is made behind the scenes or in advance of the service. This is good because you don't hear all the noise of the drink making but then you also don't get the interaction with the bartenders on the cool ingredients they are using. It's a bit of a double edged sword.All in all, a super fun cocktail spot in dallas and we need more here!

Great service and decor!! Yet very pricey. Our server was very attentive. We started off with a 4oz of La Encanta whiskey ($39) and the Wimbledon ($18) cocktail. I didn't try but the whiskey was very rich and bold smell. The Wimbledon was very fresh, light, and had a strawberry taste. It came with a lavender jelly topping that I really liked. We got 4 oysters ($20) and chicken tenders ($17). The oysters were somewhat of a pass- not seasoned or had a sauce. The tenders were good! Nothing too special or bad about it. The frozen daily cocktail ($17) was actually better than expected since you can taste the liquor. They offered to mix it and I asked for more strawberry than pina colada but I got the exact opposite. Regardless- very refreshing and would rec this place just for a cocktail versus the food. It is expensive so I'd opt for a single cocktail.

Pros: vibes, ambiance, music and crowd are all great. Nice moody setting that would be great for a small girls night out or a date night.Cons: drink prices are so outrageous its actually hilarious. $26 for a dirty martini is absurd even in Dallas (no bleu cheese stuffed olives either). I can get better drinks and better service for a realistic price anywhere else. Would not come back based on the comedic prices alone. The hostess was adorable but the service was insanely slow.

Complimentary red wine and nut platter! The bartenders were friendly and fast. Cute place but loved the ambiance. Got a frozen cocktail on a sunny day!
