Double Wide Bar — Restaurant in Dallas

There’s something beautifully, defiantly wrong about a dive bar called Double Wide serving vegan Mexican food. It’s the kind of cognitive dissonance that makes perfect sense only in Texas, where contradictions don’t just coexist but slow dance together under neon beer signs.

Every third Wednesday, this East Dallas institution transforms into something unexpected. Chef Daddy rolls up with a mission that would make your abuela either weep or throw chanclas: plant based Mexican food that somehow doesn’t feel like punishment. The Crunchwrap arrives like a beautiful lie wrapped in a tortilla, crispy and substantial enough to make you forget you’re not committing culinary sins. The elote, corn kernels bathed in vegan mayo and chili powder, tastes like summer nights and questionable decisions, which is exactly what you want. The taco plate is honest food, the kind that doesn’t apologize for being different. Each bite carries the weight of tradition bent but not broken, like a mariachi song played on an electric guitar. It works because it doesn’t try too hard to be anything other than what it is: damn good food that happens to be vegan. But here’s the real genius of this place: those five dollar frozen Yoo hoos during happy hour. In a city where craft cocktails cost more than minimum wage and everyone’s chasing the next Instagram worthy rooftop experience, Double Wide offers something genuinely subversive: a chocolate milk cocktail that tastes like childhood and costs less than a fancy coffee.

This isn’t just one of the best happy hour deals in Dallas; it’s a middle finger to pretension, served ice cold in a plastic cup. Sometimes the most revolutionary act is keeping things simple, affordable, and real. Double Wide gets it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Oh, and last but certainly not least, GiGi...

So I don't usually do this but last nights events still have me irritated. I was talking to a girl that I knew from high school when she fell face first out of chair as if someone drugged her. Her boyfriend starts saying he didn't bring her and looked at me and told me you brought her over and over. Obviously this irritated me that a man wouldn't take responsibility for his girlfriend. Next thing I know the "owner" tells me I have to leave. I tried to tell her I have no problem leaving I just need to get my friend who went inside to get some towels to help the injured girl. Well that wasn't good enough she still felt like she needed to put her hands on me to force me out after I already said I would leave and obviously her not knowing the real situation that had just happened. Fyi its not hard to manhandle a girl in 6 inch stilettos. I love this bar and never have problems here but I am seriously disappointed in how last night was handled by the so called owner. A mature person would have found out the situation before jumping to conclusions. Usually I give this place a 5 star because everyone is so cool but after last night I wouldn't give it 1 star. I have a problem with a place that would let a guy do a girl dirty the way that guy...
