    Stopped in for a quick friend after dinner down the street. I immediately felt welcome. I loved the vibe and the bartenders were super cool. The espresso martini was delish and they gave us some popcorn and nuts. I can't wait to come back when I'm in town.

    Love this place. Whether you're traveling or a local, Daisy and the team will instantly make you feel like a regular. The best place if you want to chill, party, laugh, and have a great time! Hidden gem.

    Love the Kennedy Room!!! This is my new favorite bar in Dallas. At a hidden corner, you wouldn't know it's there unless ya knew it was there. Love the music and cocktails. Bartender was such a sweet girl. I'll be going back here every time I visit Dallas. She played a mix of old school 90s-early 00s hip hop & R&B. Than played a mix of house-rock music. There's a pool table& plenty of books to read if you're into that when drinking.

    Had an amazing time here! The environment was super friendly and clean Erica the bartender was nothing but kind and welcoming Will come here again

    Parliament posted their rainy-day happy hour on Instagram the same day I visited, so I was…read moresurprised when the tall bartender with glasses told me the special only applied if it was actively raining at that exact moment. He literally told me, "If a drop of rain comes, then I'll give it to you." It had rained for much of the day, and multiple customers were asking about the same promotion. If the requirement is that rain must physically be falling while you order, that needs to be clearly stated in the advertisement. Otherwise, the promotion feels misleading. I've been to Parliament several times and have never had a bartender interpret the rainy-day happy hour this way. I ended up ordering a smoked Old Fashioned from another bartender I've had before, and it was great. He was friendly, engaging, had great energy, and even did tricks while making the drink. I still enjoyed my cocktail, but it would've been nice to have the option to order from the happy-hour menu as advertised that day. I'm including the Instagram post for reference. I'm very disappointed as I've never not had a good time at Parliament. I really think that the owner should look at the Times stamps around 930 to 10:15pm part night and see the difference of business and traffic flow from when the taller bartender with the glasses versus the shorter Bartender with the glasses was at the front as it was instantly more business. Oh and lastly, I left my Betsy JOHNSON purple umbrella. I'm so sad and they don't have a number to call.

But there's definitely some unique ones. We tried a hot dog water, which is not for everybody. And probably not for us but love that they are getting adventurous.

Service was excellent, food and drinks were EXCELLENT, and the vibe/atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. A little dark and moody, and intimate. The space now has two distinct sides: Archive and Alchemy. Archive is a bit larger (occupying the old Rye space), while Alchemy is where the magic is at and that's the side we were at. lol The soft-serve margarita was sooo good - it literally tastes like Dole Whip! Highly recommend checking it out! And make sure you have reservations!

The staff was very welcoming, and the other guests I encountered were friendly and sociable. The drinks were excellent. On my first visit, I had the Hugo Spritz, which was mixed to perfection. During my second visit, I tried the Bitter Lemon Soda, which was also very good--simple, refreshing, and without any overpowering flavors. I actually enjoyed The Bowen House so much that I went twice during my weekend trip to Dallas. It has an almost speakeasy-like atmosphere, with low lighting and a cozy, historic feel. It's also in a very walkable area, which made it easy to visit on foot. There is some parking available, although I would say it's somewhat limited. I don't think it would be the best spot for a very large group, but it would be perfect for a few friends getting together. I also appreciated that you can order a drink while waiting for a table or bar seating, which made the wait feel much more enjoyable. Overall, The Bowen House was one of my favorite places I visited while in Dallas. Between the atmosphere, welcoming service, and well-crafted drinks, it's definitely a place I would return to the next time I'm in town.

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.
