awesome music, large bar, safe place, manager very professional . We went there on a Saturday night and had fun. Various seating areas and bottle service available; over all we enjoyed the evening until closing ! read more

The place is nice, they charged my credit card without my permission someone changed the tip amount,

My brother rented this venue for my niece's college grad party in the last week of December, 2023. Before then, I'd never heard of this place but I'm not a local so that's to be expected. Tucked into a small strip mall-like storefront, this place is great if you're looking for a more intimate spot. I'm told it functions as a nightclub primarily, but is rentable for private parties, such as ours was. It isn't much to look at on the exterior, but the interior is well-appointed; a lot of dark woods with gold accented fixtures, it looks relatively new and it was very clean - my experiences with nightclubs tend toward 'good at 10 feet' but any closer and you can see the dirt and rundown. Not so, here. The staff were all very courteous and professional; my brother sprang for an open bar so we had bartenders who were very good at their job (and really easy on the eyes too). The catering was done by a local celeb chef, though I can't recall his name - the food was good on the whole, and there was no lack of it. All in all, we had a really good time, and if I were looking for a venue for another party in Dallas, I'd definitely consider this place. They offer valet parking as well. read more

Candleroom - The bar - Dance Clubs Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Had an amazing time last night with friends! It was "International Night" so the music was 10/10. Women get in free until 12am and men pay $15. Most people in the club were dressed very nice, they have a dress code, but it is not too strict (a couple of our people were wearing sneakers and hats and it was no problem). Service was quick, and bartenders were very kind! Will definitely be back. read more

Was very skeptic on coming here from reading other reviews on yelp and google, however, I am so happy the guys and I did! We had the time of our lives at Candleroom. The security upfront were really friendly and nice and greeted us in to the table. We had a very good location too in the middle. Came here to celebrate my brother's birthday and it was definitely poppin on a Wednesday night. We did arrive close to 11pm and it was not packed at all but a good amount of people. Around midnight it does get packed especially on a weekday. Bottle service is the choice to go with. They take care of you and the ratio at this place are good. Everyone is so friendly and we made new friends. Music is house mix with hip hop. Would for sure come back here again! read more

This place is extremely RACIST! If you are a person of color, DO NOT go here! The crowd there does not like us in there. I went last night (Saturday) and got called slurs several times in the 5 mins I was there. Not only that, people would make disgusting comments like "there's a whole herd of them here (my Latino friends and I)" or "I thought Trump got rid of them already". This is unacceptable and would not recommend this to any Hispanic or person of color. Wouldn't even feel safe taking a drink from here! read more

If I could give negative stars I would. The guy pictured below was extremely disrespectful he deserves to be fired. Apparently this place is his club..not sure why as an owner you'd be standing outside as a door man asking people who purchased a table why their was so much "Dick" at their table... idk maybe because we are celebrating a Bday and we bought a table and we had 4 guys and 2 women. Then he had the audacity to say "Is Pussy paying for this table?" Disgusting human being. That's not how you talk to people. Someone from staff please contact me. I will gladly share my video if corrective action is taken. Dude was on a power trip over compensating for something small clearly but still no way to talk to anyone. He told a women who was asking for recommendations on food nearby to "fuck off." Never buying a table here ever again. I could see if we did something to the guy but he just had a terrible attitude and a disgusting mouth. read more

Candleroom - Dude in the white turtleneck and black coat. - Dance Clubs Near Me - Dallas, Texas

From Sneakers to Stilettos! For 20+ years Candleroom bar has been welcoming those craving upbeat entertainment, from diverse demographics, offering different genres of music throughout their week. Similar to many clubs/lounges in Dallas, Miami Vibes are now promoted, complete with flared bottle service, and LED Presenter Signs. Although the layout, nor design offer anything awe inspiring, Candleroom Dallas maintain's a certain level of nightlife charm. Never a fan of armless banquette, or bench like seating that encourage squatting on their backs, nor non-clearly defined reserved areas, especially when little common area is available for partiers. I am however a huge fan of bartenders such as Whitney, who have years with an establishment, share their history, and make you feel right at home. Because sharing is caring, I'll share this partier beware; because of aforementioned design details, it's incredibly important to have well trained, and respectful security. Candleroom Dallas absolutely has some work to do in this area, and recognize there are reasons patrons grace your doors, or not! Xoxo Lorenzo! read more

The greatest getaway you could ask for. Kind of similar with the Marquee Club was in England for anybody looking for a fun night out on the town. As the Rolling Stones would say, it's definitely the Midnight Rambler.., read more

It was OK. If I could do 3.5 stars instead of three I would but not four. Don't go before 11 or 11:30 or you'll be the only ones there. We got there about 10:45 and there was maybe 10-15 people. Not a big area so it does fill up quickly. Only real complaint was they played tejano music nearly non stop. Actually several people around us commented on that too. Come on DJ....change it up a bit. The group we were with had bottle service so our server was great but can't speak for getting a drink at the bar and the service that goes with it. read more

I love the Candleroom! I've been going here for as long as I can remember. (I don't want to post that because then everyone here will know my age ;)) It's still the Wednesday night hot spot and don't expect that to change any time soon or ever. Lol I have had 4 or 5 of my bday parties here and we all had a lot of fun. Obviously, or I would not keep having parties here. I am happy to see the positive reviews on here. Here's some advice so that the rest of you can have a positive experience. First of all if you don't like a lot of people in one place then do not go here on a Wednesday night unless you go early and plan to leave early. Also, get bottle service so you and your friends can party and be comfortable. Don't try to park, instead valet park! Arrive there early, say 11-11:15 on Wednesday night so that you don't have to wait in a long line. Dress really nice and it's a good idea to have more girls in your group. Like, 60/40 may work but even that may be pushing it some. Sorry, I don't make the rules. That's how it goes for a lot of nice clubs, especially the hot spot of the week. Be nice to the door guy. And then leave early so that you don't have to wait in the valet line to retrieve your car. Have fun!!! Dance the night away! And you're welcome. read more

Studio 51 velvet-rope excusivity, with sumptuous speakeasy interior. Small exclusive club with a carefully selected cross-section of the Uptown crowd. Well, it may not be quite as selective on Friday & Saturday nights as it is on Wednesdays - but there is always an elite air when the entry has a velvet-rope barrier guarded by large doormen! Walk down the long narrow hallway to the cozy plush interior; mood-setting red and purple lights, comfortable couches and private tables by reservation, with mirrors from the walls to the ceilings - for the vain models who roam the dark corners looking for adventure. I love the casual opulence of the interior; like the love-child of Truth & Alibi (Deep Ellum) and Apotheke (NYC). Bartenders were friendly, quick, and talented on our visit - although the Planet-Playtex-Model-Bartenders who work late nights may be less talented (at mixing drinks). We will def be back!! read more

Stay away from this place!! I accidentally spilled a few drops of a bottle on someone I didnt know and the bouncer that was probably 6'7 280 lbs older black guy...clearly a friend of that person (if anyone knows who this person is he's lucky I didn't #PressCharges ..yet..don't temp me). ... starts #pushing and #spitting all over my face! I am 5'3, female, and weigh 98 lbs!! Then proceeds to kick us out.....he spit on me the entire wayout .... at least 15 times.... #SickFK...clearly has some #weird #fetish...and uses being a #bouncer at #Candleroom to do it to tiny women. I had a #RASH all over my #face from his #nasty ass...you need to GET THAT SHIT #CHECKED bro...I'm still on #antibiotics trying to get rid of it. .....over an #accidental #spill. read more

I visited Candleroom for the first time on a Wednesday night. They have a cute photo booth station. At the photo booth you can take as many photos as you like and send them to yourself. The DJ was very good and played mostly hip-hop music. We had a section so I wasn't too concerned with what was going on outside of my section. I left my purse at the club and I retrieved it two days later with everything inside of it. I had a Saint Laurent (YSL) clutch with car keys, drivers license, house keys, and money. Management was extremely professional and courteous when I reached out regarding my purse. They told me their staff is honest. This makes me feel extremely comfortable. read more

Patrick (security/management/badass mercenary ;) / very nice guy) and Olivia (customer service extraordinaire) made my wife's birthday an absolute blast. Seriously, they made our night. I can't recommend this place enough. It's a fantastic club atmosphere with a real exclusive vibe but down to earth enough that even someone like me who doesn't like clubs can have a good time. Five stars isn't enough. The place is fantastic but those two made our night. read more

We were not allowed in because it was "too late" to get in without a table. The bouncer was so incredibly rude and gave us no reason for not letting our group in. We called ahead and asked if there was a cover. We were told there is no cover, we showed up and the bouncer said that we wouldn't be able to get in unless we paid $350. He was so rude and would not let us in under any circumstances. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!! Go anywhere else for a better experience! 0 stars. read more

I had no problems getting in. The place is smaller than it looks. The DJ had a great mix and I enjoyed the video screens. Bartender wasn't exciting and the drinks barely had alcohol in it. It wasn't crowded either and we had plenty of space to walk around and do jumping jacks. All the reserved tables were also empty. Nothing special so we left early, read more

Candleroom was a pleasant surprise... came out on a whim with my bro and sis that were in town.. and it was nice and quaint... the DJ was the bomb... didn't try any drinks because we were already tipsy... unsure about food but the club vibe was pretty spot on read more

Ha, this place is interesting. Great music. Fun photo-booth station. Drinks were okay. Despite the great music, there is no place to dance so people just dance around the bar. Some tables are available and you can reserve a table with hookah and bottles. 40s and 50s age group, mostly. read more

Second review, Celebrated NYE 2018 at the Candleroom and it was an awesome experience, This club has class and a great ambiance. The staff and the bartenders are helpful. It does get busy and crowded so its better to ensure you have a reservation. Awesome night, Thank you Candleroom Staff! :) read more

The Candleroom is a beautiful upscale bar / lounge and a great place to enjoy a night out with friends and family. Pricing is not outrageous and would definitely recommend bottle service. The DJ/music was perfect and kept the atmosphere alive. Our waitress and bartender had a great personalities, they kept checking on us to see if we needed anything. Would highly recommend the Candleroom. read more

I love this place... I have for over 16 years! Amazing that this club has been a staple for so long in Dallas! read more

This last Saturday night I was completely blown away by the hospitality and service at Candleroom. Let me back up to about 6 weeks ago. We were in the middle of planning our biggest charity fundraiser and suddenly needed a new place to have the event. Our director reached out to Candleroom and they immediately offered the place for our event. Not only did they offer the place for the event they threw in a couple items we were able to auction off at the event. Fast forward back to Saturday, things were a little hectic as we walked in to start setting up. Ashley, the coordinator at Candleroom was AWESOME! We were short a few volunteers and she jumped in and started helping. An hour into the event we ran out of plates (I know, I know) and we had rented them from an outside party but the bus boys jumped in and washed the plates we had so we could reuse them. The caterer had left and again with there only being limited volunteers who showed up the bus boy also helped out with keeping the food out and hot. Ashley was even running back and forth putting out desserts. I literally felt like they were all an extended part of our team that night. The bartenders made all of our guest feel really special, so much so they were making special drinks for our drinkers and non-drinkers alike. Making our non-drinkers feel just as special with a pretty drink in hand. The communication on the open bar and once we hit our limit was easy. They kept open communication the entire time and there were absolutely no surprises. Don't want to leave out that they even through valet parking in with the event space. It was so nice that our guests didn't have to worry about parking. If you are looking for an event space in Dallas, you have found it. The decor is chic and upscale and the staff is outstanding. And of course, Candleroom is still the place to go onWednesday night to be seen and dance your booty off. ;) read more

The door men here really think they are the hot shit! and they are racist as hell! We wanted to buy a table for my friends birthday and they told us it was reservations only. While we were waiting for valet to bring our car around we saw them letting people in without a reservation they just simply asked for their ID's and if it was a group of men they told them that they could only come in if they got bottle service, which was what we were wanting to do but they didn't even give us the option to do so. This place isn't even all that I've been before the only reason why we choose to go there was because it was a Wednesday and that's one of the few places that is open on Wednesday for bottle service. Don't recommend this place if you are Latino or black. read more

I give it a solid three for a bachelorette part because we had a great time with out group. For this event, it worked out well. There was some music we could have passed, but 70% of it was solid. We had table service, and if you don't mind spending the money, this is great for an event like that. Otherwise, I do not plan on returning to the Candleroom (unless for another bachelorette reserved party). This was a Saturday night, and they say Wednesday is the hot day. It was mostly just a few other groups with table service and a couple of other individuals. Nothing to write home about. And some of the people were way to casual for an upscale club wearing regular jeans and shirts. I used to hear this was an exclusive Vegas type place, but now it seems to have gone downhill from the former reputation. Again, it was a great night for our event, and I would say lots of fun for your bachelorette or maybe birthday, but I would pass for regular fun night out. read more

I wanted to go into candle room for the first time ever I know the bartender heather she's great but security is horrible they were telling me I needed a reservation on a Wednesday( 12/11) night past 11pm which is completely bs. You guys need to fix it ASAP. read more

It may have been a bad/weird night, but they are 100% focused on bottle service. I seriously doubt the Candleroom will be in business 12 months from today. Plenty of better options in Dallas. read more

Worst club I've ever been to. Horrible service. Server left before we finished our table. There was no last call. The bussers cleared our $600 2 person table with zero warning and laughed at me when I said I wasn't finished with my drink and said he didn't care because the lights were on. No warning what so ever. The server checked on us a total of 2 times we were at the table even though she was tipped in advance $100. The managers were no help even after complaining about the lack of service and being cleared out before we had even finished our drinks. No other tables had been cleared in the entire place. If I could give a negative star rating I would. read more

Horrible place and very sketchy. They were charging $24 per person and cash only! It was very questionable because the workers at the front kept letting people in through another door and they were very rude. read more

I really like the vibe here and location. Very little parking options, but luckily they had valet parking. The place is small, but intimate. I threw out all kinds of cocktail requests and the bartenders were on their game, so I had a great time. :) read more

0 stars for service. Me and a friend went to check it out on a Wednesday, doorman refused entry saying we were too late so either we can buy a table or leave. At the same time he allowed others without tables to enter right in front of us. Another friend happened to come along on our way to the car and offered to get us in, informing us that there's no need to buy for entry. He was allowed in and we were again rudely denied. Very lame to treat your guests that way. We weren't going in to drink water. I used to go here often but we'd rather drop money on drinks somewhere else. Disrespectful. read more

The owner Tommy rocks!! Spent NYE here and ended up leaving my jacket at the end of the night. When I tried reaching them to retrieve my jacket he personally contacted me. I really appreciate their prompt response and great service. read more

My two friends I were denied entry last Wednesday (the day before Thanksgiving). Allegedly it was because we did not have a reservation. However we stood out there for at least 30 minutes afterwards and consistently saw that white and Hispanic women were getting in with no issues. Simply showing their ID and walking right in. No asking about a "reservation." I was watching the guy at the front door the entire time so that when I came to write this review, I came with facts. So the only problem that I could see with me is, my skin wasnt the right color. However, being able to hear the music that was being played inside, the rappers and singers in the songs just so happened to have the exact same skin tone that I do. You dont want to let 3 beautiful, educated, classy black women in, but have no problem playing kanye west, Future, Jay Z, Nicki Minaj, etc? Oh ok gotcha! read more

Came here on Saturday night with about 15 people for a birthday party! The venue was perfect. They played mostly pop songs. we all had a good time and had no issues with the reservation. Thanks Candleroom! read more

Place is a freaking blast! This is the only place worth going to on Wednesdays, and it rocks on weekends too. It fills up quick so try to get in before midnight. Great staff, good music, and a kickass time overall! read more

Wanna pay $9 for a Shiner Bock? This is your place. I nearly fell over when the bartender told me the locally produced Shiner Bock was $9 a bottle. There is no reason what-so-ever a Texas beer should cost $9 anywhere in Texas. Blasphemy. I cursed myself for not having brought my flask. A friend of mine has a membership here and he loves the place. Some other guys he's friends with also have memberships. I got the impression that they think they are big pimpin' because of it. In actuality, no girls talked to them the entire time we were there. The music was good, I'll give Candle Room that much, but that's the only good thing about the place. Also, the valet guys are the biggest assholes in the Knox-Henderson area. Overpriced and overdressed, so Leslie shall overlook. read more

I know I will not be popular for loving Candle Room. It is a secret that I go there as I have no REAL friends who will darken that red carpet with me. Candle Room, like "The Hills", is one of my guilty pleasures. I have been going here since before I went to college. That being said, while everyone bags on this place, it is one of the few clubs/lounges that has stuck around that long. Some of the reasons people hate this place are the reasons I love it. I love the fact that they enforce the dress code. Sometimes I find it fun to get all dolled up for a night out. Therefore, I appreciate the lack of jerseys, flip flops, and hats. If I am making an effort... you should too! I love the drinks there, and while they are expensive, they are delicious. I have had some of the best martinis here. I love the little flecks of ice I always get in them. If you are a lady, more then likely some old man will beg to buy you a drink within the first five minutes. That's so wrong... I know I know... blah blah blah... but this is Candle Room. Come on... Too crowded? Of course! On Wednesday night the DJ is great! My favorite mainstream mash-up DJ in town. BY FAR. Apparently, I am not the only one who thinks this because it's always packed. If you are lucky, and have the money, get a table and ask for one of the ones in the very back by the fireplace. Very cool atmosphere. Another thing to do is if you don't like all the crowds come on a Thursday or Friday. It is usually not as crowded. Candle Room is also in a great location. You can start your night off at Old Monk, Vickery Park, Victor Tangos... etc... and stroll up the street to Candle Room. Few blocks in Dallas pack as many offerings as this one does. As far as membership goes, I don't have one, but I have never had a problem getting in. I am a chick though. :) I have seen men have difficulty getting in. Mostly for not being dressed properly. You can wear jeans... just not flip flops. I understand why people hate this place, but I have had so many good times here that I have to love it. I read more

Looking at Eric W.'s review, I have to say ... every single lounge/club in Dallas WISHES it were in LA. It's lame, really, really lame. Dallas, get it through your head, you are NOT LA, there is only one LA, and it's sure as hell not in Texas. That said, Candle Room is one of the better nightlife spots I've been to since I moved to Dallas. It has a elegant, classy interior and super lux bathrooms that are actually well-kept. Shocking! It beats Wish or Suite any day. It has the typical bottle service, table thing, and the cocktail waitresses carry sparklers through the dark room when they deliver bottles. Very cool. The crowd is typical Dallas club-esque, with hot women in skimpy black clothes and more men in suits than I've seen since Wall Street. Music is AWESOME, I'll second Lindsay J. on that one. All in all though, not a bad place, if you must do the Dallas lounge scene. Beware though, it's a "private club," so to get in you need to a) be a hot girl, b) know someone, or c) have money to burn. One other thing, the valets here are a**holes. They were completely rude, told me they didn't have my truck keys, then it took them a half hour to find them, they didn't even go get my truck for me, then I tipped them $5 and they didn't even say thank you ... guess they're used to those $20 Lamborghini tippers. read more

Can't recommend to anyone. Being from Miami I'm accustomed to higher quality service and better atmosphere. I was beyond disappointed with this club. Ordered a bottle and VIP area a week before I was in town. Upon arrival, they had no idea what was going on. Utterly disappointed and would never recommend to anyone visiting the area. Total disappointment. The entire city is a drag but aside from a classy set up, this club is a total bust. read more

This place blows Some girlfriends of mine invite me to this place. I head out to meet them there and I'm greeted at the door by a rude doorman. DoorGuy: Are you a member? this is members only lounge. Me: umm no, never been here, some friends invited me to come so I did. I live nearby. DoorGuy: ok, locals usually have to come before 11 to get in. I'll see if I can get you in. This guy seriously turns around walks to the door, comes back and opens the rope for me. What did he check exactly?!?!?! He says, "I'll let you in but try to get here earlier next time." Anyways, the only plus to this place was my 2 girlfriends getting drinks and passing them to me. So luckily I didn't have to pay the ridiculous drink prices. I'm not in Vegas, I shouldn't have to pay 15$ for a drink. read more
