This place is absolutely beautiful. The view of downtown Dallas is breathtaking. The food is listed as Tapas but is very filling. I would definitely recommend this place and will certainly be back. read more

Gabby is amazing! Most down to earth warm spirited host/waitres! thankful and grateful for her

GABBY is the best! I keep coming back because of her. If you're visiting Catbird, ask for Gabby. She will take great care of you!

When I first walked into Catbird, alarm bells started ringing. This bar has been on my list of Dallas places to go for a while, especially because I heard the views were exceptional. However, upon first entering you are greeted by a flower tunnel that screams "social media bar". Social media bars tend to be great for pictures, but terrible dining experience. As a fatty without any social media, these bars are never enjoyable to me. Catbird, unfortunately, fell into that category. First, service is very slow. I had to go to the bar to order a drink because of the wait at the table. The drinks, however, are tasty. I appreciated the bartenders craftsmanship and it was fun watching him make the cocktails. I ordered the Fuji Lady to start, which I really liked. It comes with burnt rosemary which smells so good. Next I had Locked In, which was tasty as well. However, the drink menu in person is different than online, and they are out of EVERYTHING. My friend tried to order three different tequila based drinks, only to be told different products were out for each one. Food is just okay. We snacked on the Crab Dip and French Fries. Crab dip was had a very heavy lemon taste and was a little too gloopy for my typical taste in dips. The French fries were so basic and sounded so much better the way it was described on the menu. For dessert, I brought in a cake. There is a cake fee, which I expected but isn't posted anywhere on their website. I also brought in candles, which they completely left off the cake and just put in matches???!! I was so upset, but they had switched servers halfway through, and the older server told nothing to the new one (including our drink orders which were never put in). I just think that's terrible service, not even telling the other person about the cake and basically stealing my candles. The only redemption is the validated parking. Overall, do not recommend Catbird, as there are a thousand better "social media bars" around Dallas read more

This place is not what I thought I was. I thought it was a restaurant but it's more of a bar lounge. The menu is very select and changes. There isn't much to choose from. I had the fried rice and tried the fries which were good. My friend had the queso but didn't like it and exchanged it for the fried rice. The drink that I had was good. They have nice sitting areas and an outdoor patio with views of downtown. The establishment is nice just not sure if I would return. read more

I visited Catbird during one of their R&B themed nights. With this theme, they served ramen and bao buns while a dj played RnB music all night. When my friends I arrived for our reservation our table was not ready. We waited a few minutes and then was sat in a more private area of the restaurant. Aesthetically, the restaurant is very pretty with moody lights and lounge seating, great for grabbing drinks with the girls or a date. The lounge seating was definitely not meant to indulge in a meal. The music was extremely loud. To the point where when we left we all complained of our throats hurting from having to yell at each other just to have a conversation, so that was unfortunate. As for service our waitress seemed ok at first, but it quickly became apparent she had a problem with one of my friends. She was very short with my friend and then tried to give her an espresso martini that was suspiciously bubbly. There were so many bubbles, that the drink continued to fizz and bubble over onto the table for 5 minutes straight. Finally when our waitress returned, I told her to take that drink back because it was obviously spiked. The waitress tried to push us to keep the drink but I insisted we did not want to keep that at our table. As for the food, no one at my table was happy with their order, and we were hesitant to drink after that encounter. Overall, this was a strange night and left a bad taste in my mouth. I would not suggest dining here, or at least be very careful on what you order and who serves you. read more

I am obsessed with catbird! The interior is always so iconic and gorgeous. We had a lovely booth, that was also nice for people watching--the fashion is incredible. The drinks are so fun and tasty, I love that they change out the menu. Not pictured is the crab Rangoon Dip and some other tasty treat that I can't remember. It was too cold this particular night to go out much on the rooftop area, but it has great views! read more

Came in for Ramen & Bao x RnB night The DJ was in there going his thing, music was great all night! Unfortunately the service did not match the musical vibes at all. Politely put the service was slow at every turn. It was a mission to get water refilled. My request for a bottled beer, didn't get filled until after the food arrived and flagging down another sever for assistance. One of our burgers had to have been forgotten about because we were practically finished with all the other food before we had to remind our sever that we were still waiting for it. And once we were finally able to track our server down to close out, we asked that she come back ASAP because our Uber was outside waiting, we finally got our bill back to sign 15 minutes later. Which is especially frustrating for an establishment that auto adds gratuity to your bill. Thankfully most of the food was delicious, so the experience wasn't a complete bust. If you're willing to risk the poor service the teriyaki burger and fries were both amazing. And the brisket ramen was also really good. Both the crispy chicken Bao and shrimp po Bao were good, but overpriced IMHO for them to only come with 2pc. As an additional service note: our group found it frustrating that they left the normal food menu on the tables if they were only going to serve from the specialty menu, as there were items in the regular menu that we really wanted, but were told that we couldn't have, because they were only serving from the themed menu. read more

The environment of Catbird is fab, mood lighting, lounge seating, great views. The service? Terrible, you are limited to an hour and a half--which isn't mentioned anywhere. You won't be able to change tables, mind you some of their chairs are below sea level. The food was good, drink are an interesting asian fusion type, which is alright. Feel like the host had more say on what went on in the dining area, which wasn't accommodating at all. Also idk if I trust valet, saw them speed peoples vehicles in the garage. Maybe come during the week? read more

I visited Catbird for the second time recently and this time I got food in addition to drinks. Overall the atmosphere keeps me coming back with the nice aesthetic and rooftop views as well. The food is excellent; we ordered the fries, smashburger, bao buns, waffle, and chicken karaage and everything was so delicious. For drinks, the table got a good mix of everything; the white lies (for coconut and gin lovers this one is a classic), matcha made in heaven, and suki says. My faves were both suki says and white lies. Lauren was our server and she was so personable and friendly! She definitely made sure we all had an enjoyable, unforgettable, and warm experience for our girls dinner. It was a pleasure to dine in at Catbird and we will be back soon. read more

Atmosphere is a 10/10 at this place. Good vibes and cozy settings around the fireplace. Definitely a place to hang out and chill with your friends. Drinks are very high and the bartenders all had attitudes. We went on a Thursday night and it wasn't jam packed but the bartenders seemed rushed and irritated. For the price of the drinks we literally have had better service at a Chick fil A than this place. We put our name on a waitlist just to get food and was never called. So we left and ate somewhere else. Overall I would only come here for the rooftop views and vibes. That's about it... read more

Catbird -- Dallas, TX Catbird is hands-down one of my favorite spots in Dallas -- the vibe is unmatched. It's elegant but laid-back, with the perfect mix of class and comfort that makes you want to stay all night. I've been several times now, and it never disappoints. It's located inside a hotel, so you'll need to take an elevator once you walk in. I highly recommend Ubering if you can -- parking can be a bit of a hassle. There is a parking garage nearby (you'll have to pay) and valet is available, but honestly, arriving by rideshare just makes the whole night smoother. If you go on a Thursday night, get ready -- the DJ goes absolutely crazy! They play real R&B, not just radio edits, and the crowd truly vibes to it. It's a great place to meet people, hang out with friends, or even just unwind solo with a drink and the skyline view. Speaking of, the cocktails are amazing and the views are even better. They do serve food, but I personally come for the drinks and atmosphere. If you do plan on eating, definitely make a reservation. One night I didn't, got hungry toward the end, and couldn't get seated (ended up on the waitlist that never moved ). Bonus: the building Catbird's in has other bars and lounges you can explore throughout the night without ever leaving the hotel -- perfect for a spontaneous night out. Overall, Catbird is one of those places that just feels like Dallas -- chic, soulful, and full of good energy. read more

Catbird located in the Thompson hotel offers a lounge like atmosphere with happy hour, dinner, late night eats, and cocktail options. It has an outdoor rooftop option and also parking is validated. They have a great menu of Asian offerings. We got their crab Rangoon dip, chicken fried rice, and bbq short rib bao bun. The food was really delicious and service was just as good. This is a great spot to enjoy unique and great drinks while also having a delicious menu options. read more

Gabby was great! Awesome service! 10/10 definitely request her when you come to Catbird

If I were a local, I'd take every single date here. The ambiance, atmosphere, rooftop, quiet corners, couches are perfect for a date. The food menu is very small. However, very extensive cocktail list. I didn't think my espresso martini was anything, but average. I did like the endamame though. read more

Charged twice at Rook on April 3. Called on April 6, got Clifford's cheerful "the manager will call you." Spoiler: they didn't. The "boutique hotel" vibe? Please. Think cracked pleather, dented walls, and furniture that's clearly been through some things -- all dressed up as luxury. More "Cecil Hotel afterparty" than "urban chic." I live two blocks away and used to stop by Catbird a few times a year, but I've seen enough. Tourists, enjoy paying top dollar to watch neglect in high‑definition. read more

Super cute spot with a quiet ambiance! At least on a Sunday. You can valet your car and get your ticket validated by the hostess stand, or park your car yourself for $10. The bar is on the 9th floor and has a beautiful outdoor area with a nice view of the city. Indoors is super comfortable and chic and seating for both large and small parties. They don't have bigger plates, mostly tapas, but our waitstaff mentioned the beef ribs are slightly heavier and would be good for hungrier appetites. Their fries were so good we ordered two servings! Will definitely come back for a nice night out with the girls! read more

Overpriced, but a cute vibe with a nice rooftop. That's it. That's the review. I've been to Catbird twice, once last year for my birthday and once a few weeks ago on a Friday night. You have to do a reservation here. It's a must. Catbird is very chic and trendy, but it definitely attracts more women than men. The rooftop is excellent and has great views. That said, the menu rotates and it's all overpriced, but not bad on flavor. The first time I came, me and my party came for drinks only. Their website indicated that they would close at about 1am, so imagine our surprise when the "bouncer?" came around at 12:15am to all of the tables telling everyone that it was time to wrap up and leave. Huh? Sir, it won't take us 45 minutes to head out. Yet, by 12:30am all of us were ushered to the elevators to exit. Annoying. Fast forward almost a year later, when I returned for dinner with a group of three of us. After our "two-hour" time was almost up, again a host approached our table and told us that our reservation time was up. Huh? MInd you, this was about 9pm on a Friday night and there were multiple booths and tables around ours that were empty. Why do we need to leave now? I am confusion. We complied, and decided to go check out the rooftop before leaving for a few minutes. When we came back inside about 10 minutes later, we were annoyed to see that our table was still unoccupied. Interesting, considering you made a whole thing about leaving because our reservation was over. I don't take these things personally. This isn't about race or anything like that. It's just the policies of this establishment are somewhat rigid and ridiculous. I understand that Catbird is a popular destination for special events, nice dates, and girls nights, but the policies and enforcement of these policies could be adjusted. This is a great cocktail bar to come for drinks, but beyond that, there are better places or places just as great that you can go to, and possibly have a better experience. read more

It was date night for my husband and I so we ventured into Dallas to try Catbird. We made a reservation and even though we were 15 minutes late they still accommodated us - and with a smile. We had a great seat location by the window so we could see the outside seating as well as the amazing view of downtown. Our server was very helpful and sweet and provided us with excellent food recommendations. We tried the Burnt End Hummus and Flanken Beef Ribs which were both absolutely delicious! We were worried that the food wouldn't be filling since it's mostly small plates, but we shared both meals and they were the perfect portion. I also tried the espresso martini and it was wonderful! The vibes in this place are fantastic and the ambiance is Instagramable. This is the perfect place for a date night, ladies night, or just to have a drink and enjoy the lowkey atmosphere. We will definitely be back. read more

Came here on a Thursday night for what was understood to be R&B night, however it ended right before 10pm . Located in the heart of Downtown Dallas , Catbird is a popular place for middle aged adults to come out and enjoy a nice vibe . Parking downtown is always scarce or overpriced . This was my first time and really went in blindly, but overall nice venue. Not hats for the gentleman. Spacious apt with different picturesque areas. I didn't try the drinks but hear something in the price range $20 a spirit. I wanna like this place but I don't think I got the overall experience that I would like . I'll revisit this place and give a more clear concise review . read more

If you're looking for good/chill vibes, great music, great drinks, cute aesthetic and great service this is your place. We stopped by on a Saturday night and sat inside. The vibes were dope and the music was good, they had a dj. The drinks we got were soooo good. Probably one of the best espresso martinis. We also got fries and the spicy ketchup was soooo good. I will be back. read more

Went to this elevated establishment on a Saturday evening! Music amazing and I absolutely just love the outdoor rooftop element and let me tell you it's usually a real nice breeze up there in this Dallas heat! But the star of the show was the Espresso Martini! When I tell you all you need is one! Believe me all you need is one ! It's like liquid gold lol! The espresso is already there, but they top it off with some sort of infused nitro for an extra kick! My goodness listen get one . Vibes are thee best ! read more

Great food and cocktails! Lauren was an exceptional servant. We had the crinkle fries and they were delicious.

i got scammed here DO NOT USE YOUR CARD WHEN YOU GO TO THIS PLACE ! they ask to hold your card on file and then run it up when you leave. I used my card to purchase these two drinks and when I got home I woke up to $94 charge taken off my card from this company . I ALREADY Paid her $38 for the Two drinks I had . I didn't order top shelf tequila or anything for Two drinks to come to a total of $132 that was taken off my card After I left . Greed smh that's why she looks as bad as she does, big dome head . You can't miss her avoid her at all costs if you want to avoid this problem , besides that I loved the scenery and really wanted to like this place . I won't be back it's not worth the risk of being robbed again by this Amy wine house looking girl from dollar tree . read more

Loved that this place has comped Valet parking, made the entire experience feel luxurious. We went for Valentine's Day and then again at the end of March. It was pretty busy during Valentines Day weekend so we had to have a reservation. There's a dress code and which set the mood for the place a lot, the ambiance was amazing. Plenty of bar space and interior design was gorgeous, highly recommend this place to chat, grab a drink and relax. There's even an outdoor area with a cute skyline. We love that they cycle through different drinks and foods during the different seasons, right now it's Japanese themed! The chicken karaage was good, I would say the mayo sauce was a bit too sour for me - definitely pickle forward. The drinks were amazing!

I went when they first opened like back in... 2020? Ambiance: phenomenal. Nothing like getting that valet parking and going up an elevator to a swanky place with great views of the city. Ritzy and glitzy - everyone was dressed to the nines. Aaaaaaaand that was it for me. The food, although nice ingredients, didn't leave a WOW impact. And the drinks weren't that good. So a lot of money for basically playing dress up! You'll get great pictures though. read more
