Why go
The Private Rickhouse is a whiskey tasting room and upscale cocktail lounge in Deep Ellum, Dallas's historic speakeasy and jazz quarter, which opened in early October 2026. Despite the name, "Private" refers to the private barrels it selects and stewards — the doors are open to everyone, no invitation needed. Come in for a curated seasonal cocktail, a guided whiskey flight, or a bottle to take home. The house sources exceptional barrels and guides guests through curated tastings designed to uncover what belongs in their glass. Regulars can join the Rickhouse Society, a free loyalty program, and groups or private events can be arranged by email.
