Media Coverage and Accolades for BAR COLETTE
Brandon and Henry Cohanim opened their jewelbox of a cocktail bar in November, 2023, in Dallas’ West Village. They brought on LBC in March 2024 to handle its marketing and PR. Two weeks later Eater Dallas’ Courtney Smith singled it out as the place for a nightcap in An Eater’s Guide to Dallas. “Bar director Ruben Rolon is a master with a cocktail,” she wrote, “putting unexpected flavors and ingredients together to create incredible concoctions.”
In April, 2025, Bar Colette was nominated for a James Beard Award for Best New Bar.
