Dallas' Hottest New Cocktail Bar: Boogies Brings Retro Vibes & Craft Drinks to Deep Ellum

From Whippersnapper to Boogies: A Fresh Take on Nightlife

Deep Ellum just got a vibrant new addition—Boogies, a retro-inspired cocktail bar, has swung open its doors in the former Whippersnapper space. With neon lights, disco beats, and handcrafted cocktails, this spot is quickly becoming the talk of Dallas nightlife.

Why Boogies Stands Out:

• Retro Meets Modern: Think '70s disco flair with contemporary mixology twists.
• Signature Cocktails: Sip on unique creations like the "Funky Cold Medina" (mezcal, pineapple, and chili) or the "Boogie Nights" (vodka, elderflower, and citrus).
• Live DJ Sets: Groove to vinyl spins from local DJs every weekend.
• Expanded Menu: Late-night bites include loaded tater tots and gourmet sliders.

What Happened to Whippersnapper?

The beloved Whippersnapper closed unexpectedly last year, leaving regulars wondering about the future of its prime Deep Ellum location. Boogies' owners saw an opportunity to reinvent the space while keeping its intimate, speakeasy-like charm.

What to Expect at Boogies:

1. No Cover, No Pretense: Walk-ins welcome—no reservations needed.
2. Happy Hour Specials: $8 cocktails from 5-7 PM on weekdays.
3. Private Booths: Reserved for groups craving a VIP experience.

A New Era for Deep Ellum Nightlife

As Dallas' bar scene evolves, Boogies fills a gap with its unapologetically fun vibe. Unlike trendy minimalist spots, this bar embraces bold colors, playful decor, and a "dance-first" philosophy. Early visitors rave about the friendly staff and inventive drink menu.

What Do You Think?

• Is Deep Ellum becoming too crowded with bars, or does Boogies bring something fresh?
• Should more Dallas bars adopt a no-reservation policy?
• Are retro-themed venues overdone, or do they still excite you?
• Would you prefer live bands over DJs in a space like this?
