Kennedy Room — Restaurant in Dallas

A Cozy Gem in an Old Mansion!

They had the game on the TV so we enjoyed watching that as we drank. As it got later more people came in and starting playing pool and other games. This is a great place to stop by for drinks to...

Not quite what I expected when coming here on Saturday night. Based on previous reviews I thought this was a lowkey cocktail lounge. It was packed with a DJ spinning latin dance music and plenty of people dancing. Music was very loud and left my ears ringing, but that’s sorta what they’re going for.
