In our modern day culture of immediacy and convenience where chain restaurants, fast food and instant gratification are the norm, we find ourselves craving the out of the ordinary, the unique, the thoughtful destination. We want to feel adventurous and be treated special. And at HERE we aim to do just that. The lounge, owned by Julie Doyle — co-founder/manager of musical groups Tripping Daisy, The Polyphonic Spree, and local fave store, Good Records (next door), promises to whisk guests away into another place and time. The decor at HERE is inviting and chic: casual enough for your post work happy hour and yet dapper enough to channel your inner mad men cocktail party. The room features a large photo mural by Rainer Judd.
Swanky neighborhood joint focusing on house cocktails & food from a small but well-appointed menu.

Reviews
The food was amazing! We got the wings, mussels, pimento cheese, goat cheese jam and crab toast, Mac and cheese Brussels sprouts, and parm fries. All were solid 10/10. My boyfriend said the wings were some of the best he’s had. You can tell everything is made fresh in house.
Finally the service was top notch, everyone was so friendly, one of the waitresses actually remembered my friend and I coming a few weeks back which was such a great touch! I Wil be a regularly coming back! Great establishment with great atmosphere!
What really sets Lounge apart is the consistency—year after year it maintains its vibe, quality, and attention to detail, which is rare. Whether I’m meeting friends, hosting out-of-town guests, or just looking for a beautiful place to unwind, Lounge is always a go-to.
If you’re looking for a sophisticated, stylish, and genuinely great experience in Dallas, Lounge is a must.
We arrived exactly at 6:30 PM for our reservation, only to be told our table wasn’t ready. Fine—we’ve both worked in the service industry and understand things happen. We were happy to wait a few minutes for them to reset our table. But the table directly to our right had been seated before we arrived and was still there afterward, which becomes important later.
We ordered drinks and an appetizer and took our time catching up. Around the 45 minute mark, we ordered dinner, which came out almost immediately. Our server was great—no issues there.
The problem was the hostess.
At 7:53 PM — and yes, I checked the time because I was genuinely stunned — the hostess approached our table and ONLY our table to say they were busy and were hoping to “flip the table soon.” At this point, we had already asked for the check and had a to go box visibly sitting on the table.
Let me be clear:
We had a 6:30 PM reservation, arrived on time, and were seated late.
And by 7:53 PM, barely an hour and twenty minutes after arrival, we were being pressured to leave.
Meanwhile, the table next to us — who had been there longer, had finished their meals, and were simply babysitting drinks — was not approached at all. Not a word. They were left completely alone.
We were the only table singled out, and it was blatant.
This behavior was unacceptable, unprofessional, and honestly embarrassing for an establishment my friend has supported for so long. I cannot comprehend why a hostess would think it’s appropriate to rush out a table with a reservation, especially when other tables who had overstayed us were untouched.
Not only will I never return, but I sincerely hope my best friend reconsiders supporting a place she has frequented for so long, only to be treated this way. I’m truly appalled, and the overall experience left a very bad taste in my mouth.
Service, ambiance, and atmosphere were pretty good. It is a good place to talk and vibe out with someone over a drink.
The food could use some work.
The shrimp were pretty good from the shrimp and grits, but the grits were undercooked, and the sauce lacked depth of flavor.
The mussels were just ok.
The devil eggs have the potential of being really good, but the hot sauce on top overpowers the devil eggs. Little less would be more for this appetizer.
You need to make reservations.
I really liked it and look forward to visiting again.
