Who We Are
Debra Peña & Gerald Stogsdill
Owners
"My brother Gerald, and I always wanted to own a retro dive bar. We thought it was a neat idea to keep things interesting & old school in the Lakewood area. Most bars were going for a futuristic & modern look, but we wanted something eccentric and timeless. Our vintage furniture & groovy lights take us back to how we partied in the 70's!"
- Debra Peña
How We Started
Cosmo's was founded in 2000 by Gerald & Debra. They aimed for a retrograde style bar with a funky different concept. Cosmo's is known for their tasty cocktails, but Jackson Tran has incorporated his family's authentic Vietnamese food to spice up the menu. Cosmo's will continue to surprise you!
About Jackson Tran's Family Menu
Jackson Tran
Cosmo's would not be what it is today without his help & hard-work. Jackson added his family's secret Vietnamese recipes to the menu, which is some of the best Pho in the Dallas/Lakewood area. He helped his parents cook & prepare food for their Vietnam Restaurant. Tran has grown with Cosmo's from starting as a bartender making signature cocktails. Tran continues to share & inspire his family's special menu every week at Cosmo's!
Thua Tran
Jackson Tran's Mother
Jackson Trans's entire family is from around the Mekong Delta. This is where his parents use to serve the whole community & neighbors alley street food. Thua Tran, Jackson's mother, helps influence delicious & creative fresh new Vietnamese dishes to the Tran's Family menu. She taught Jackson everything he knows, from how to make the perfect broth for Pho, to the pork dumplings & the fried seaweed rolls. Anything from the Tran's family menu will not disappoint. These recipes remain a secret for a reason! Read more about behind the scenes with the Tran family:
