Alex Fletcher’s Rising Tides Is the Best Kind of East Dallas Dive

If you have had a good cocktail in Dallas any time in the last 15 years, there is a decent chance Alex Fletcher had a hand in it. He started as a barback at The Quarter Bar, then ran the bar programs at The Quarter, Bread Winners, Victor Tangos and the original Henry’s Majestic.

A neighborhood dive on Garland Road might look like an odd next move for Dallas’ go-to cocktail guy.

The much beloved Henry’s Majestic is pleased to announce their return to the Dallas dining scene in early Fall 2023. Owners Andrew Popp and his wife, Feliza Macias, have taken over the former home of Chicken Scratch/The Foundry located in West Dallas at 2303 Pittman Street at Fort Worth Avenue, Dallas, TX. 75208. When it comes to the menu and décor, expect a familiar but slightly revamped vibe.

Henry’s Majestic Hosting a Pappy Van Winkle Paired Dinner

pappyby Steven Doyle

December is always a good month for so many reasons, but for many bourbon enthusiasts it is allocation time for the Van Winkle brand which is produced jointly by the Sazerac Company and Buffalo Trace Distillery.

Pappy Van Winkle is aged for 15, 20 or 23 years, which is considerably longer than the aging period for most bourbons. The 20 year is bottled at 90.4 U.S. proof (45.2% alcohol by volume) and has been described as “intensely fruity”. The 15 year is bottled at 107 proof. The 23 year is bottled at 95.6 proof.   Continue reading →
