A new cocktail lounge brings refined cocktails and elegant small plates to Uptown Dallas. Caché Cocktail Lounge, perched above the longtime favorite S&D Oyster Company, opened on August 29, 2025.
Designed in an intimate space with French Quarter flair, the lounge offers seating for only 35 guests. Visitors are greeted with velvet drapes, vintage chandeliers, green-hued walls, brass detailing, and a working fireplace that enhances the cozy setting. A balcony overlooks S&D’s courtyard for an added dose of romance and charm.
The drink menu was created by Shane Scully, whose background at Petra and the Beast gave him the knowledge to deliver inventive cocktails that will be remembered. Highlights include the Oyster Co. Martini, featuring vodka infused with roasted oyster shells. There is the Café Brûlée, a chicory coffee–based espresso martini, and the Hurricanrana, a polished version of the Crescent City’s classic hurricane. Other imaginative drinks, like the cornbread-infused Riffignac and the cherry-kissed American Graffiti, make the drink menu stand out.
For wine lovers, the program was curated by Advanced Sommelier Jesse Rodriguez, who brings experience from Michelin-starred restaurants, including The French Laundry. The starting list offers nearly 20 selections, with plans to grow to around 70 by this fall. Expect sparkling wines, crisp whites, rosés, and bold reds carefully chosen to pair with both seafood and small plates.
Caché’s food menu delivers an indulgent touch. Guests can enjoy caviar service, deviled eggs with a Creole twist, black-eyed pea hummus, steak tartare with pickled strawberry jam, or a shareable charcuterie board.
S&D Oyster Company has been a Dallas staple since the 1970s, known for serving fresh Gulf oysters and classic seafood dishes. After the Bellomy brothers purchased the restaurant in 2023, they made it clear they wanted to preserve the restaurant’s heritage while also bringing something new to the table. Caché is the result as it honors tradition set forth downstairs while introducing an elevated cocktail experience.
