This year, Black Swan Saloon rose like a phoenix out of East Dallas ashes after the bar's initial decade-long run in Deep Ellum and closure in 2020. After four years of grief, happy tears were shed at the news that Black Swan was back. The signature house cocktails, Black Swan Classics, boilermakers and other spirits are back where they belong in the moody and swanky interior full of kitschy art. Our most recent happy hour was confirmation enough: legends never die.
