Sometimes you want a $3 PBR, sometimes you want a bottle of Dom…we’ve got you. Old favorites like Jack Daniels to the “new hotness”, our liquor supply keeps it easy like Sunday morning. The frozen drinks are served in quirky, mismatched glasses, just like our patrons. Want something off the secret, naughty list? Just ask!


Take the above frozens, put in a glass, lots of booze and enjoy the ultimate brain freeze.

If a pomegranate had a really boozy, frozen baby, it would be the Pom Pom.

Community and friends - The Grapevine is more than just "a bar" to many people. Our community is one of inclusion and friendship, and we support each other through it all. We've hosted weddings, fundraisers, charity events, celebrity book signings, and just every day good people looking for a good time.

Denise Vanderheiden had just moved to Dallas from West Virgina and my roommate at the time Joe O’Rourke were hangiong out at the bar in 1996. Denise called me after I got home from IL Sorrento and I was watching reruns of “The Golden Girls”. She said there are alot of “your” kind here…so I went and met alot of fun people and I was a fixture almosst everynight from 1996-2001. Great fun times and blew alot of hard earned money.
