Peoples Last Stand with a New Perspective

Blog· Food and Drinks· Reviews

It’s not every day that you find a bar that truly commits itself to its cocktails and whose staff actually inspires the beverage creation (and get it right). A bar that crafts each drink like it’s recipient is an anointed one. Well my thirsty friends, The Peoples Last Stand at Mockingbird Station does it just right. On Thursday evening, the prohibition era bar invited a group of local foodies and friends in for a tasting of some delicious cocktails and bites off their new menu.

After entering the newly redesigned space, it felt like a comfy and warm SoHo loft. Big brown leather couches, bookshelves lined with intriguing reads, industrial cement floors and a curvy bar

 that just felt right. I quickly found myself with drink in hand as a Forza DiCanio, off their aperitif menu, lit up my taste buds with a welcoming zing. As we were seated, bowls full of Maple Glazed Peanuts with Bacon lined the table and let me just say…I would fight off a hungry mob and finish a bowl by myself.  The flights of cocktails made their way in front of us ranging from a summery Sangre por Sangre to the Le Colonial, which feeds off a current mixology obsession with mixing spicy with sweet, like ginger syrup and jalapeño.

Noms included a slew of sammies with cool names like the Gandhi (Delicious veggie option with guac, mushrooms, bell peppers and a sweet melty goat cheese), the Kennedy (turkey, sun dried maters and a mustard kick) and my favorite, the Francesco (basically its an entire deli on baguette, and just how I like it). The real scene stealer though?  Ropa Vieja Tacos that oozzzzzzed with juicy chicken, jicama slaw and guac. Drool. Other options include a stuffed avocado and yummy hummus plate.

Some of us got a kick out of just watching the drinks being shaken with such vigor and expertise behind the bar, it was tough to look away knowing what delicious drinks awaited us. The space lends itself to a comfortable and classy evening with friends or dates. Make sure to try a Black with Envy (muddled blackberries, bourbon and honey syrup) which mellows things out after a strong yet tasty Batlle of Aspen. Dang, even the names are fun.

To those who doubt the possibility of venturing to Mockingbird Station or that your safe in your local bubble of bars…I challenge you to get over to Peoples Last Stand where you can get yourself a SERIOUSLY AMAZING drink.

Now back to dreaming of more Ropa Vieja tacos.

    Great Post! The People’s Last Stand has the best food to munch on. The Brisket tacos were definitely my favorite and the chicken stuffed avocado was a close second.

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
