BEST ESPRESSO MARTINIS IN DALLAS
BEVERLEY’S
If an espresso martini is already on the menu, and not something you need to request, you can only expect it to be really good! Or at least it better be. And that’s the case for the signature espresso martini at the adorable neighborhood bistro, Beverly’s. They get creative with theirs too, adding in nutmeg and orange zest!

BOWEN HOUSE
One of our favorite cozy cocktail lounges in Uptown is Bowen House with their fireplace and dark interior. The spot located in a historic home, definitely makes some of the best cocktails in town, and that includes the classic espresso martini.

One of our favorite Dallas spots for happy hour, the menu includes six different signature martinis, one of which is the espresso martini! In fact, they peg their martini as the “world’s coldest” and don’t be surprised if you end up downing 2-3 of them almost instantly. The espresso is so good and seemingly tastes like dessert.
On happy hour, they’re only $6!
