Trophy Room

Trophy Room Bar Dallas TX

While the name "Trophy Room" may leave some to picture this sports bar, adorned with several dozen sports trophies, this is most certainly not the case in this uptown Dallas, TX establishment. Found on McKinney Ave, the Trophy Room presents Dallas bar hoppers with the quintessential location to call it an evening, and the in-house mechanical bull is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Trophy Room is exactly what you'd expect from a southern bar. The walls are decorated with the heads of some of nature's most majestic beasts, which only serve to set the tone for this laid back venue. Dark wooden fixtures make up a bulk of this bar's decor, offering up a vibe that feels more rusting than "city". The ceiling mimics the inside of a whiskey barrel and rounds off the Trophy Room's charm. Of course, there's little denying that the mechanical bull gives this location its character, but it's the crowd that it draws that really brings this rustic establishment to life.

On any given night the Trophy Room is sure to attract some of Dallas' most pleasant and conversational patrons. Little about this establishment reads unpleasant and uncomfortable, but its mixture of indoor and outdoor mingling ensures that, even if the place gets crowded and stuffy, you can escape into the fresh Texan air. As one could expect, though, the Trophy Room rounds off its bar feel with an extensive listing of alcoholic beverages sure to top off the day perfectly.

This establishment's bartenders are trained to the max are skilled enough to create a range of simple concoctions and more difficult mixes. You'll be hard pressed to not find something on the menu that pleases your pallet, nor will you find yourself easily stumping these employees with classical and unique beverages from around the country. Vodkas, whiskeys, and even classier champagnes rest comfortably behind the bar, creating an inviting display of bottles that begs to be challenged.

While the Trophy Room does its best to remain a low-key establishment, the mechanical bull adds a little flair. Down your favorite beverage and test your stamina on this bucking piece of machinery or sit back and enjoy the show as many of the Trophy Room's fine patrons attempt to beat the longest run. Besides being the perfect conversation piece, this level of entertainment really lets you wind down from a long, hard day of mindless work.

The Trophy Room does what these other high-end, upscale bars and lounges don't - and that's give the everyman a place to just hang out and chill. Show up comfortably in a pair of jeans and make yourself right at home in this uptown establishment. Whether you're looking to enjoy a night of solitude sipping on your favorite drink or you want to join the party and make bets on the next fool to hop on the mechanical bull, the Trophy Room should be your next priority.
