"When you’re not ready to live together but still want to enjoy the architectural charms of a historic 1874 home, head to Bowen House. This quaint, wood-frame residence was turned into a cocktail bar about 140 years after it was built, with a handful of seats, a few tables, and a roaring fireplace. It’s dark and intimate, ideal for dates where cozy is more important than fancy. You could sip on ice-cold Japanese highballs, eat one of Dallas’s best cheeseburgers, and call it a night. Or linger over smaller, more shareable items like the housemade potato chips topped with creme fraiche and caviar, if you’re worried the prospect of beef juice running down your arms might kill the romance." - Kevin Gray
