La Viuda Negra

This is a speakeasy so its inside a taco restaurant.They have drinks and food. Known for mezcal/tequila drinks. I had chicken tacos. So delicious!Got the negroni. It was pretty good. I was just disappointed that most of the drinks were really sugary and sweet.The staff is really nice and they even have a dj on fri/saturdays.

Came here with a friend wanting to try a new speakeasy. It's definitely speakeasy, it's inside the bridal shop. It's pretty small inside but they have a lot of options for drinks. Like lost speakeasy's they have a variety of different drink options you can choose from. The empanadas were amazing and different from original ones. Definitely worth a try

Checked this one place out with my fiancé. Got there early and got seats in the corner. We didn't get anything to eat since we just had dinner. The wooden bench we sat on wasn't comfortable. The first drink that I had (lite up with cucumbers) was yummy and refreshing. The second drink I had, Chapurrado wasn't good and was in lame plastic cup. I wish we had checked out the patio.

Amazing atmosphere and fabulous drinks! A fun and really cool speakeasy in East Dallas. Definitely check it out. And get the drink with the glow light in it. Can't remember the name, but it's delicious and super cool!

Love this hidden gem. I get the pollo a la mexicana taco and a margarita straight up!

For about a year (since my last review), La Viuda was OUR spot. We went all the time. They knew us by name. We never ordered off the menu -- just asked Hugo to "make us something," and it was always excellent, whether it was a spirit-forward sipper or something herbal and refreshing. He quickly learned our preferences and knocked it out of the park every time. Eventually, it got to the point where Hugo and Eduardo never let us leave the place without a round of free mezcal shots. It truly felt like home, and not just because it's walking distance for us. We loved this place, our little neighborhood bar where, yes, everybody knows your name.Things changed last fall, when Hugo suddenly left. By all accounts, it was his choice to leave. Absolutely heartbreaking. Things haven't quite been the same since he left (and maybe that's why he left...). Obviously, there's the factor of not being able to just walk in and tell him to make us whatever drinks he felt like making. But there's been a lot of staff turnover. They don't know us when we walk in the door. Also, if we don't get there early enough, it's often too crowded to stay...which is GREAT for La Viuda, but kinda sad for us.The last time we were there, we made a point of getting there very early and were able to get seats at the bar (our favorite -- we love chatting with the bartenders to learn more about the drinks they're making, the ingredients they're using, and also just who they are as people). By getting bar seats this time, we met Saul (pronounced Saoul), who told us he was one of the original bartenders there and is now back as manager. He made us some great on-menu drinks and some great off-menu drinks. We enjoyed chatting with him. So, maybe this is a new beginning for us and La Viuda...we'll see. For now, it's down a star (literally because it's just missing Hugo's star power...ha, see what I did there), but I'm hopeful.

Love this little speakeasy bar-hidden gem in Dallas for sure! Their logo is outside and what looks like a bridal boutique. Once you walk in it has a super chill vibe with a cool looking bar display. Some high tables and seats at the bar. Tiny but decent size. They also have a outdoor patio in the back which is nice. They offer food from the el come taco (right next door) I definitely recommend, their tacos are legit! I ordered the viuda negra margarita and my husband got the si güey (seasonal cocktail) both were delicious. Love how they give you your tab. Super cool lolAll in all I give them a 5/5. Will definitely be coming back!

The first time I visited this speakeasy, I had a great time. The Labios Calientes was a great spicy margarita and their Mezcal Negroni was good too. I recently visited again and I did not like their Verano 2023 drinks. The majority of the menu is sweet instead of spirit forward. I ordered the Cien Años because the waitress said it closely resembled a Manhattan, but it was also sweet. I had high hopes for the Chamoy Manhattan, but it felt more like an alcoholic mangonada. I wouldn't call it a Manhattan. I really liked this place so maybe i'll visit again when they rotate their menu or stick to their classics. logistics: We came around 7:30 pm on st. patrick's day. The bar was full but the tables were majority open. Most of the people were eating as well as drinking. There's parking in front and I haven't had any trouble finding a spot. Lots of cars going in and out so just be patient.

Great bar! It's definitely small inside and the bar area gets pretty crowded. There is a cool back patio where you can hang out (when it's not scorching hot outside). My favorite things about this place: Great drinks & vibe They play beautiful (classic) black and white Mexican movies on the wall upon entry (Pedro Infante, if you know, you know). The delicious Gordita's from next door (you can order them with the waitress)Least favorite: The front door / window decor is not appealing and is absolutely misleading... The bar is tight/small

If you haven't had the opportunity to come here; jump in your car and meet me RIGHT NOW!!! The vibe is eclectic! Fridays and Saturdays the DJs set the the mood that make you feel wanna drop, lock and pop. I love that your able to order the tacos and food from the neighboring restaurant, which is known for some of the best tacos in Dalllas. If your looking a more chill vibe stop by on hump day or Thursday and chat it up with some knowledgeable bartenders. La Viuda Negra is a stable and I'm fortunate to have been able to make this one of my regular stops for great food and drinks.
