Kilmac’s uses a Guinness reduction in its Old Fashioned. We expect this new bar in Oak Cliff to rank soon.

It’s an exciting time to be a bottle of booze in Dallas. While we have our own Dallas bar guide, we love to dig into the Texas comptroller’s mixed beverage gross receipts tax report each month. Basically, it’s a look at which restaurants and bars are selling the most liquor each month.
Dallas is a complicated and growing city, so this month we stretched our maps to include Frisco and McKinney as well. What are they up to?
For this report, we extracted large hotels, large concert venues and convention centers because those aren’t a pure look at where the locals are going, which is the aim here.
This data set is based on February 2026 and is only for wine, liquor and beer, not food. February is a good gauge despite being the shortest month: Dry January drinkers are back, plus two holidays (Valentine’s Day and Fat Tuesday) boost things a bit.
