Who are Jack and Harry you ask? No one, really. Pond's favorite New York City bar was the 21 Club, which was an extension of a speakeasy called Jack and Charlie's. He liked the place and the name, so he tweaked it a bit.

The bar area lends a taste of New Orleans, right down to the crescent-shaped bar stools.

There are antique Charleston lanterns and aged brass. Equestrian artwork lines the walls along with antique furniture, all nestled in a space built in 1945, offering a touch of refined old-school Southern charm.

The building dates from 1945, bestowing some natural old-world charm. (That's old-world for Dallas, right?)

There's a French onion filet and 28-day dry-aged Delmonico, although there's no mention of the tariff for these. Whether they actually fetch family prices remains to be seen. We believe the place has "date night" or "girls' night" or "with that one guy" vibes. Anything but the whole family. To each their own, though.
For lighter fare, there's gumbo, chicken Francaise, oysters St. Claude (fried) along with coastal necessities snapper and flounder (pan-fried or broiled). Sides like Carolina cole slaw, golden tallow fries and crawfish mac and cheese round out meals.

House cocktails include New Orleans gin fizz, Hemingway daiquiri, Sazerac and French martini.
