Patriarch's Fine Unwinding
Frisco's new dual threats
6142 Frisco Square Blvd; Frisco; 214.886.6300
Compromise needn't spell doom: sure, the Man forced John
DeLorean to use an anemic French engine, but in return, he
got to build a dream car that enabled time travel -- if only
that engine could reach 88mph. Giving on layout but not
quality, Patriarch's Fine Unwinding.
Split by a sheltered patio, PFU's twin, unapologetically
gothic dens for imbibing (the Sanctuary Bar, debuts
Saturday) and puffing (the Cigar Humidor, Feb 27) were
intended to open in a single space a year ago, but showdowns
with city officials forced delays, then the dual-address
compromise; consistency's maintained in dignified vice, and
stained glass by J. Dudley Forsyth, who has similar panes in
Westminster Abbey, but would've considered Frisco his
crowning achievement had he not croaked 84 years ago. With
heavy, custom-spired swivel chairs and nightly piano by Swan
Court's former maestro, the Scotch, bourbon, and wine-heavy
Bar also offers seasonally rotating beers (many monastery
brews) and eight Freixenet Negro-based bubbly-'tails like
the Drambuie'd "Braveheart" and the Bordeaux/sugar cube
"French Invasion" -- which even given modern weaponry would
still be less frightening than Braveheart. The Humidor,
which'll carry "every major cigar available in the US" (full
lines by Ashton, Padron, Oliva, La Flor Dominicana...),
features a walk-in unit with an operating room-quality
air-filtration system and a stogie-aging cabinet opened just
once a month; and a leather-appointed rear lounge with a
fireplace guarded by evil-looking light towers, plus a swank
coffee station made from a 300-year-old bar swiped at
auction from a Highland Park home (they narrowly missed out
on a 38-year-old HP-owned baseball team).
The Humidor's sneakily BYOB, so booze can be brought in,
just not directly from the Bar; soon, an audiophile-grade
sound system will deliver the piano & twice-monthly
jazz/blues ensemble's tunes outdoors -- so you can stand out
there looking for lightning, if you find the Libyans won't
compromise on plutonium.
The Humidor also sells cigars retail-style. Sip & puff to
your heart's content/discontent at PatriarchsFrisco.com.
