    Red, White, and Blue Specialty Cocktail (for World Cup Bar Crawl)
    Anna H.

    A few of my friends and I went to Happiest Hour as a part of the World Cup Bar Crawl and we had a great time. I had the Red, White, and Blue specialty cocktail which was offered for the event and it was great! My only complaint is that it was very crowded due to the popularity of the event.

    Came here to catch the Texans game with some friends. It's located in the downtown area of Dallas. I knew there was valet beforehand but for whatever reason I parked at the Tom Thumb nearby which offered complimentary parking (for two hours I believe?) if you buy something. That was certainly not enough time. In retrospect, I should have used the valet - after reading the reviews here, apparently they have great service and are very reliable. Since it was a gameday, it was definitely packed inside. We were quickly seated though. Quickly, in terms of service, our waiter was great. It was clear he was putting in effort and being nice to all of his tables. The issue, however, was that he was severely stretched thin. I remember looking around for him and I swear I saw him taking care of customers on the other side of the restaurant. For food, I got a house salad to start. I decided to be healthy today. Unfortunately, a salad at a sports-focused establishment may not have been the best idea. The majority of the lettuce was wilted and not fresh. The dressing provided some nice tang but couldn't offset the texture of the veggies. The chilaquiles on the brunch menu, on the other hand, were good. The chips were still a bit crunchy and was the perfect bed for all of the toppings. I definitely recommend it. Overall, I probably won't come back on my own volition - only if for a group event - due to the lack of staff that caused service and some of the food quality.

    Location Harwood district by American Airlines Center Parking LOVE the valet!!! Atmosphere Premiere spirts bar in downtown Dallas. Giant screen, multiple screens all over-even in the yard Seating Outside, inside-bar, upstairs, barrel booths-private area behind a chain screen-hi snd low tops. Service Outstanding/immediate with water, friendly, attentive Menu Full bar, appetizers, salads, sandwiches, mains, sides. We had the cheese steak-loaded with cheese, grilled onions/ peppers on a toasted bun. The side salad was fresh greens, shredded carrots, cucumbers. Lightly dressed but with a side of dressing! Total YUM!! Summary Our go to spot for sports. Total package-great atmosphere, terrific menu, outstanding service-shout out to the valet!! See you there!!

    Blackened Chicken Pasta

    My youngest son and I were going to a Dallas Mavericks game at American Airlines Center and wanted something to eat prior to the game. We arrived around 540 on a Saturday night and were able to get a seat immediately. I was happy to get a table (since my son is a minor) and there were some groups dressed very well and us in NBA gear for the game. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. I had a Shiner Draft and the Blackened Chicken Pasta. My youngest son had a cheesesteak. Both of our meals came out very quickly and were very tasty. Yes, the environment is very loud but between being a great place to watch a sporting event, close to the American Airlines Center, the rooftop has to be epic. I'd definitely return!

    Wow! I haven't been here since thanksgiving 2021 and didn't have a good experience. The "big game" on Saturday was the complete opposite. Five stars from the servers to the bartenders, from the set up with dozens of TVs to watch the game to the food/beverages. Next time we are trying the super nachos...$60, but could feed 6 peeps! And, they layer the ingredients so it isn't just a giant mound of chips with toppings plopped on top. Check it out!

    Dumpwings

    Came for happy hour. It's a cool bar and want to come back for happy hour again when it's fall so can enjoy the large outside area. The drink specials were good for the beers so got a few of those. Got the dumpwings as a little bite and they were just ok. Was expecting them to be crunchier and have more sauce.

    I've been here a few times and it is a large restaurant with an upstairs as well as a patio and outdoor area. They have a large bar with plenty of seating and offer a happy hour, who would have thought, daily. I Sat at the bar and the service was great for my drinks quick with no delay.

    Trying to reserve a large group event here was incredibly frustrating. I contacted their management over 1 month out to reserve the space and food. Received an email that they would reach out in 1 business days. After radio silence 9 days later I tried calling their business numbers during business hours. No one answered after calling on 3 different days and leaving voicemails. I then called their main restaurant line where their hostess answered. I explained the situation and they offered to write my name down and forward it to their Management. I did this twice on two different days with no response back. I left a comment on the inquiry portal that is autogenerated when I first filled out the online form. No response. They finally responded 5 days before my event and by then I had looked elsewhere. If you are planning any large event I would steer clear from this place.

    Honestly, I just love this place. I really only stop by before or after a game at the AA Center but it's perfect for a quick dinner and some drinks. Just know it will be busy on peak days/times and sometimes there is a wait for a table or a fight for a place at the bar. But there are so many tvs and you'll find any game you're looking for playing. Fun spot for anyone.

    First stop!
    Kristina M.

    Service here was absolutely fantastic. Our server was very kind and attentive. We got the calamari and shrimp as an appetizer and it was very tasty. The sauce they serve with it is so good! Our meal was the nachos that are meant for a family of four, and honestly they could feed six to eight. They were super delish but we wished there was more meat on them abd that the cheese was warmer. Awesome beer options too! We loved the ambiance here. So many tv's and very open! I'd love to come back and try something else.

    Came here whilst in town and surely wish I didn't, and by the way we were treated, they didn't want us there either. We waited over 15 minutes for a waiter to come over, and another 10 minutes just for water, once we flagged down someone to get our waiter. We then had to flag down the waiter so we can begin ordering food, when we needed utensils that they forgot to provide, we even had to flag down and wait for the check and it wasn't busy. The kids were too busy in there flirting and on their phones to tend to the patrons. Fried pickles : 2/10 the flavor kind of there but they were extremely oily and soggy Calamari : 4/10 everything taste like old oil XL loaded fries : absolutely NOT worth the price, and there was no toppings or anything on the fries underneath, they loaded the bacon and jalapeños on but it did not suffice for the minimal queso. Lemon pepper chicken wings 1/10 We all tried one and 2 were undercooked and they were just full of oil and no actual lemon pepper flavor. Would not return here, even though the restaurant looks really nice inside and out:. They do have complimentary valet

    Berries from the West
    Jimmy K.

    We tried this place recently for a happy hour and had a good experience. The place is massive with seating inside, outside on the patio, and on the rooftop. It was 90+ degrees, so we sat in the bar area at a table. They have great happy hour specials with half-off appetizers and cocktails. We tried the dip trio as an appetizer. Great portions of dip for the price. My wife tried the Berries from the West and I tried the Game Time old fashioned. Both had great flavor. Our service was great. We will definitely be back.

    Wings & Jalepeno Poppers
    Anh H.

    Great atmosphere to watch the football games at. Very spacious and modern. Service was very quick and attentive. The food was good not great. However, everything tasted very freshly made. FOOD - Fries 3/5 - Jalepeno Poppers 3/5 - Caesar Salad with Fried Chicken 2/5 - Asian Chicken Salad with Grilled Chicken 2/5 - Wings 3/5

    The bar has so many options

    Ask the Community - Happiest Hour

    Is there an age requirement for rooftop?

    Yes 21

    Is this a family friendly place? 17y+?

    Yes you can bring your family. It's family friendly. Been there with my nephew (8 years old). It does get busy and a little loud on weekends.

    Is this place 21+?

    Only for the upstairs 21+ lounge on the weekends. There is a bouncer at the stairs that checks ID's. The downstairs and outdoor patio is for everyone though.

    Is there a happy hour and if so, when is it?

    Yes! Happy Hour is Monday - Thursday from 4 PM - 7 PM

    Is there a patio cover up right now? Looking to come after my birthday dinner but I want the view.

    Is there a dj or what kind of music is played on the rooftop at night?

    Hi, Diana! We currently are playing Top 40's and fun music!

    What kind of music is played here?

    They would typically have live bands or play something on the speaker. Few rap or country music!

    Are there UFC fights shown here?

    Possibly, I think if you can tell them to put it on there.

    1. Do they turn on music (like a nightclub after 10)? 2. If you are under 21 and get there before 10 and also wanna chill after 10, will they come and check your ID?

    They will still check I.D, music are on always I believe.

    My son's girlfriend is graduating from beauty school...needing a place for family n friends to go to afterwards...can 18 year olds and a 11 year old get in?

    I would guess before 10pm, yes. It's a restaurant during the day More of a bar at night I think

    Yes, I have smoked multiple times up there! Enjoy

The hotel property is like four legs under the table - a great location, a great hotel experience, a great restaurant experience, and a entertainment experience (The Mansion Bar). At least one leg has been kicked out, one is suffering. The Mansion Bar used to have a great recipe for success - proven by how busy and regular the customers were and loyal (or was), and the top tier talent that was routine for 10+ years. Me and my friends have a relationship with the long time staff as customers as well as the excellent music talent. The cause? Not precisely sure but I think it's new ownership, at the very least a new Food & Bev manager. I also know the staff is very upset about these changes and the relationships with the repeat music talent is now a mess. I wouldn't be surprise if the staff start leaving. I'm hoping whomever is making these decisions can revert back to what was working. Dallas has a lot of great venues that will fill this void.
