Thirty Four Chophouse
A chophouse with a lounge out back.
The 34 is for Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President, born a few blocks from here in 1890. The chophouse sits in a red-brick corner building on Main Street in historic downtown Denison. Up front is the dining room: white tablecloths, a short list of steaks cut and seared the classic way, and a wine list that runs from Lodi to Napa’s cult cabernets.
Walk through to the back and the lights go down. Doc’s Lounge is our bourbon bar — a wall of Texas whiskey, allocated bottles and old favorites, craft cocktails, happy hour six nights a week and live music Thursday through Saturday.
Steaks & chops
Cowboy ribeye, filet, NY strip, porterhouse and a double-bone pork chop, finished with shallots, demi-glace and rosemary.
The whiskey wall
Ironroot Republic from right here in Denison, Garrison Brothers, allocated Buffalo Trace bottles and a deep rye, Scotch and agave list.
Live music & events
Live music in Doc’s Lounge Thursday to Saturday, and a private event space for dinners, rehearsals and parties.
