Redstraw Tea Bar is a fully alcohol-free tea lounge in Carrollton whose 'Tea Artists' hand-craft a menu of cocktail-inspired specialty teas built from fresh seasonal juices and loose-leaf tea.

It stays open until 11pm on Friday and Saturday, making it a genuine booze-free option for a late evening out, with everything made fresh to order and no alcohol on the premises.
Hours: Mon-Thu 12pm-10pm; Fri-Sat 12pm-11pm; Sun 12pm-10pm
How this page decides what counts
Two facts, both verified, both required. First, the cafe's own record has to say that no alcohol is served — the same test that decides which venues we call alcohol-free anywhere on this site. A cafe whose listing is silent on alcohol does not qualify, even when it obviously does not have a bar; silence is not a claim, and the headline of this page is a claim. Second, its hours have to reach 9pm or later on at least one night. Hours come from the venue's live business listing and are re-synced every week, so “open until midnight” here means it was true the last time we checked, not when the page was written.
The order is by how late you can stay: rooms that close after midnight first, then those with the most late nights a week. Kava bars are not on this page — they have their own. Nor are bars or lounges with good non-alcoholic lists; those are on the Dallas city page. This page is for the room where nobody is drinking and the lights are still on.
Questions people ask
Yes — we have verified 5 in Dallas: Arwa Yemeni Coffee, Haraz Coffee House, Sayfani Coffee House, Qahwah House, Redstraw Tea Bar. Each one is listed because its verified record says no alcohol is served and its hours run to 9pm or later. The latest close we found is 1am.
No. A cafe appears on this page only when its own verified description states that no alcohol is served — not because it looks like a coffee shop, and not because of the cuisine. A cafe that also runs a licensed bar in the evening is not listed here, however good its tea.
3 of the 5 close after midnight on at least one night. Every cafe here closes at 9pm or later on some night; the card for each shows the latest closing time and how many nights a week it applies. These are the regular hours we verified — Muslim-owned cafes often stay open much later during Ramadan, sometimes past 3am, so check the venue's own channel before a late trip in that month.
It depends on the room. Yemeni coffeehouses pour spiced coffee and tea: mufawar (coffee with cardamom and cream), adeni chai (black tea with milk, cardamom and spices), qishr brewed from coffee husk, and a long list of lattes. Ethiopian houses roast single-origin beans and some hold a traditional coffee ceremony. Tea rooms pour oolong, pu-er, matcha and milk tea by the pot or the glass. All of it is caffeinated unless the menu says otherwise, so late-night regulars often switch to herbal tea or a dessert after the first cup.
No — these are public cafes and everyone is welcome. Many are Muslim-owned, and that is the reason they keep bar hours without a bar: in much of the Middle East and East Africa a night out has always meant coffee. Reporters and regulars alike describe the crowd as mixed — students, night-shift workers, people who have stopped drinking, and neighbours who simply want somewhere open late that is not loud.
