Silo Dallas is a masterclass in how not to run a venue. From blatant safety concerns to baffling design choices and outright hostility toward patrons, it's hard to imagine how this place continues to operate the way it does. Let's start with safety, because it's genuinely alarming. The venue is riddled with dangerous corners created by locked and barred doors, turning sections of the crowd into literal dead ends. In a packed show, this isn't just inconvenient--it's reckless. Crowd flow is terrible, visibility is poor, and the setup feels like an accident waiting to happen. Any venue that locks people into boxed-in corners during high-capacity events has fundamentally failed at its most basic responsibility. Then there's the so-called VIP area, which might be the biggest scam of the entire experience. Instead of offering better sightlines or proximity to the stage, VIP is completely separated from the performance, drained of energy, and bizarrely isolated. You're not paying for exclusivity--you're paying to be removed from the show you came to see. It feels less like VIP access and more like being banished to a poorly thought-out annex. The restrooms are another low point. The attendants are aggressively overbearing, hovering, directing, and policing behavior to an absurd degree. It's uncomfortable, unnecessary, and adds to the feeling that the venue doesn't trust or respect its own patrons. And if you're unlucky enough to attend during bad weather, good luck. There's no cover outside for rain, meaning guests are left standing around getting soaked with zero accommodation or planning. For a venue that hosts large crowds and charges premium prices, this level of disregard is embarrassing. All of this combines into an experience that feels hostile, unsafe, and poorly managed from top to bottom. Silo Dallas isn't just a bad venue--it's one that seems fundamentally uninterested in the comfort, safety, or enjoyment of the people keeping it in business. Save your money and your time. read more

SILO - This was a LOCKED door on VIP during the show. Had to go through the main venue to even exit. Note: it's also installed incorrectly - Music Venues Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This was a really fun and spacious venue. The outside was huge and we got through the line pretty quickly. It's nice that there is another venue for EDM! The lasers are awesome too. read more

Recently visited Dallas and I had to check this EDM venue out for myself as my friends have said nothing but good things which were all true. The dance floor is not overcrowded and there is actually enough space! Bathrooms are clean with attendants all night. There is too big bars along side of both left and right! Quick lines and reasonable pricing. The highlight to me was that this venue had full running ac perfect to dance all night in read more

Bingo loco went well! It's an adult Bingo spot that we went for my friend's birthday. The drinks were on par and the kids experience was amazing! read more

Excellent first experience. The staff was very friendly and professional (bouncers, check-in, parking, bartenders, security). The sound is first class, the drinks are good, reasonably priced ($16 for a vodka Redbull) and served quickly (two huge bars one on each side). The screens are big and good quality and the air conditioning is perfect (yesterday it was 20F outside). Getting in, at 11pm on a Saturday only took a few minutes. It's also very clean. I used the purple parking and it was just a few feet away from the door ($25). Definitely coming back for other concerts. read more

Loved the venue and the space. It was perfect to listen to EDM music. I also appreciated the fans that kept everyone cool. Affordable drinks for the Dallas downtown area. A lot of little touches like this made this venue special. Well done. read more

I've been here over a dozen times within the past year and SILO has steadily gone downhill. A few shows ago my friend was forcefully shoved out of the way by security because she was near the entrance to the seated area. Why they couldn't just ask her to move somewhere else defies logic. Also there have now been a number of shows, most notably the ATLiens and Svddendeath shows, where the sound quality has been abysmal or turned down. Why should anyone come here when the own venue turns down the sound at their shows for no valid reasons? Parking, while not managed directly by Silo, the company they've chosen to handle their parking lot has also been a complete nightmare at times. I had already purchased a number of tickets for future shows but I'll be reaching out to my credit card company if this is all SILO has to offer. read more

Was visiting Dallas and a friend invited me out to Silo. I was able to buy a ticket at the door for Galantis. The space was big and nice. Air circulation was good and never felt too stuffy. The large tvs on the stage were awesome and the lasers were next level! Sound system could be better but it's still really good. The biggest problem I have are with the huge pillars. Unless you're dead center, the pillars def can obstruct your view. read more

Great location! AC is always blasting, never line for the bathroom, lots of bars! I really like coming to shows here!

Love this venue!! The A/C quality alone was the biggest standout. Most of the EDM venues I am used to are super hot and humid. Also I loved how there were 2 massive bars on each side. It was very easy to get a drink and the whole venue was very clean! The bartenders were also super friendly. I felt very safe there as well and the space is so large it allows for great spacing. read more

They won't allow flow equipment. My friend and I have been using our flow star for over 2 hours at the venue, and got told by an 'employee' that they shouldn't have been passed by security... all the sudden it's an issue. It's upsetting for a 'EDM' venue. We are not bothering anyone, we are in the back and have been the whole time. read more

Lots of parking options (but beware of scammer parking "attendants" - look out for the official jackets). Lots of nearby hotel options. Venue is perfect for EDM music (or any music really ) - 2 long bars flank the main dance area - super clean bathrooms near the front door and a coat check at the entrance ($10 a coat - pricey but worth it!). I'll definitely look into other artists coming to this venue, it was a great night out!! Bonus points is a super lovely brewery just steps from the front door for those who tend to turn up early to gigs read more

Really nice venue. Saw Deadmau5 where you can get up and close to the DJ. The bartenders and entire staff were super friendly and personable. Drinks were reasonably priced and not watered down. Bathroom was very large and clean. Would definitely go back to see another show here with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy read more

Def a DJ spot! Saw miss Nora En Pure Easy entry, Inside is large and roomy. Carpeted parts were kind of funny... and just as we were commenting on the carpet, this girl puked pastel blue liquid right on the steps Only complaint was the crowd that night, felt like we were in a silent disco; music was bumpin, most people were silent Will return. Lineup is money. read more

The bouncers made our concert experience genuinely terrible. The tall one pushed and put his hands on one of us for absolutely no reason. It was truly sick and disgusting to witness. Never coming back and don't suggest going read more

Great venue, however the "security" here are the absolute worst. They lack integrity, compassion, respect, and professionalism. Go elsewhere if you are hoping to enjoy your evening. read more

We had a great time! I was with a group of 3 and Julian (the security guard) made us feel secure and taken care of! He was attentive and kind and kept the good energy! He made sure we were okay and checked on everyone several times! Shout out to him, he was the best! read more

Loved the experience here! They are giving stereo live a run for their money (honestly not a high bar to hit). The line up here has been great and full of bangers. The ventilation is great and probably the best for any indoor venue I've been to. Parking can be a hassle, so highly recommend taking a ride share (have heard or people getting ripped off for parking or having their cars broken into). Overall looking forward to my next time back!!! read more

New EDM club. Seeing tiesto tonight! Long lines but move fast. there's no sign indicating of the club anywhere outside but just find valet and ask. Sound was good enough. For grand opening, it went smoother than I thought read more

The security at this venue was extremely rude and aggressive. I was denied entry to the MEDUZA concert despite having two valid VIP tickets. The issue started when right after scanning the QR code of tickets and prior to entering, I asked security if I could step out briefly to put my jacket in my car, which was parked across the street. I was explicitly told that it was okay to do so. However, when I returned moments later, security refused to let me back in, suddenly claiming there was a "no re-entry" policy once the ticket QR code is scanned. I explained that I had already asked for permission and was told it was allowed, but the head of security said that even if their employee had told me I could leave, it "didn't matter." I was then forcibly removed, threatened with the police, and ultimately denied entry altogether. As a result, I lost $180 for the tickets and was never offered a refund. Completely unacceptable behavior and a very disappointing experience. read more

I've been a loyal fan of Silo for a while and used to love the vibe -- but after my most recent experience, I won't be coming back, and I can't recommend it to others in good faith. I stepped outside briefly to get some fresh air, fully sober and not causing any problems. No one warned me that once you leave the patio area, you're not allowed back in -- not even a sign. When I tried to return, I was met with unnecessary hostility from the security staff. The woman and man at the entrance were shockingly rude, treating me like I was a problem instead of a paying guest who had simply been left uninformed. It honestly felt like the staff were on a power trip. The way they spoke to me was aggressive, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. I've worked in hospitality and nightlife myself, and I know how important it is to treat people with basic respect -- especially when they haven't done anything wrong. Sadly, that kind of customer care seems to be totally missing here now. What used to be a fun, welcoming environment now feels uninviting and hostile. A lot of people go out to unwind and enjoy themselves -- but if you're looking for a place that respects its guests and handles things with class, Silo isn't it. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else that values its patrons. read more

Absolutely horrific security, this was the worst possible service I could even imagine from a group of bouncers. Watched one of them refuse to give a sober, of-age, woman a wristband for drinks and then proceed to wave her off with the flick of his hand saying "you can go one night without drinking". If i saw my girl get treated that way, I would be leaving with an assault charge. I will not be returning here ever. read more

The atmosphere was completely astounding! Bar service was great and the DJ sets were mind blowing fun! Came from Oklahoma to see Sammy Virji, will definitely come back. (And I loved that the a/c was blastin'!) read more

No parking; what little parking was closed off. Show was supposed to start at 9 pm and started after 10. I guess because Ru Paul doesn't care about her fans and this dirty venue could milk the audience for every penny. Do not recommend. read more

Listen, it's great for EDM music. Tickets are cheap (early bird), plenty of parking options, and it's very well air conditioned. The drinks are great and quick to receive. However, each of the 5 times I've gone to this venue, it's been oversold. There's no way that many people are allowed into that building. It's so crowded constantly and not in the fun rave way. I've been to plenty to tell the difference. It's crowded in the way of you can't even get out of the middle if you want to go to the bathroom and there's no room on the sides by the bars either. You can't tell where a line begins or ends for a drink when the club is at its peak. Moreover, what's making me rate this review even lower, is their valet parking. I got there about an a hour before the headliner was coming on, so a lot of the other lots surrounding the venue were completely full. I was told by multiple security guards as I drove up and down Manufacturing St. that valet had plenty spots left, and I should try to do that. The guy who took my car tried to tell me they were out of spots, but "premium valet parking" was $60 if I gave him cash instead... I told him I had $40, he nodded and asked me to get out so it could be parked. I got out of my car, handed him $30 and got my car parked in the back lot for the actual price because.. no. LOL. That's not even a thing on the website. He said he'd "let it slide" this time... There's no way that's the way the SILO wants to function. That's truly embarrassing for a club of this stature to succumb to if it is. However, I don't know if ALL the valet workers were acting like that or if it was just this one or if it was just because they knew this specific performance was drawing in a huge crowd and wanted to make a few extra bucks, but the fact that it happened really made my experience annoying. It's not a bad venue, but until they stop overselling tickets, it'll just never be a mind blowing experience. read more

SILO - Valet Parking price - Music Venues Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The venue is amazing for edm shows. There's a decent amount of free street parking near the venue but you need to get there kinda early to snag a spot. A business does rent out its lot and charges around $20 for parking which isn't terrible if you're planning to get there later. Silo has a great set up with bars along both sides. The lines never seemed too long and I was at a sold out show. read more

This venue is excellent. Been here almost every 2 weeks since opening. Staff is courteous, bar acces is excellent and abundant (huge bars on either side), sound is dialed in, very good crowd control, always felt safe, and the bathrooms are massive and very clean with no waiting. I live It'l Do as well but the bathroom (men's) is tiny with one stall. Always a line up. I do not know why some comment that security is rude. I have never seen any indication of that. I agree the the VIP room needs some work. The mezzanine area when complete will be a great add on for different views. It's also super cool to see the sound and light engineers do their work at the back. It's rare that a venue has this part open to view. I have not experienced the table service yet. No idea how much that costs. The outside area has lots of seating to take a quick break. Food truck has never disappointed. So happy that Dallas has this venue as Stereo Live is a dump. The crowds are a mix of all styles and ages. Parking is easy if you get there by 10pm. It's in the top list of world class venues for a reason. Don't understand the haters. read more

What an amazing venue! Robust security - I felt very safe. Walls lined with bars - no waiting time for drinks. Clean bathrooms with plenty of capacity so no lines. Flowing A/C. Courteous and professional bartenders. Every interaction I had with staff members was professional and positive. The sound system was so epic - I had to wear earplugs. Amazing lighting, lasers and visual effects. Beers were around 8 bucks, not bad. Highly recommend this venue! read more

Heck yes a new music venue in Dallas! Great sound system, big bars and nice bathrooms. What more could you ask for? Love the huge screens on the stage. Drinks also aren't that expensive. I got 4 beers and 2 waters for $40 (!) which is a steal if you ask me. Don't be intimidated by the line to get into a show - it moves really quickly and security is nice. read more

you still love it until I learned that security would literally throw people out for no reason and throw them down the stairs like they're nothing will never be returning back to this venue ever again until they fix this. WE WANT MORE THAN REFUNDS read more

The shows are fun, and the venue is fun, but the workers are so incredibly rude and disrespectful. I won't recommend this place because it was so annoying read more

This place is off the chart. Best venue with the best vibes I've been to anywhere for a long time!

Went for bingo loco. $70 ($66 before tax) for a bucket of anything (in our case - high noons) is just wrong. Will not go back for any reason. And I love EDM & would've otherwise. Also no food options, which sure if it's an actual club/rave event but for this situation, some people really should've eaten something. Not so much an issue - just an fyi. And was way toooo cold. Was not prepared for that. Also bingo loco has to be a scam. Stop giving them a venue to do this. read more

Security is crazy tight. Had security checking stalls, like??? is that legal? Other than that drinks were great, bartenders were friendly, music was fantastic/speakers were great, and venue was COLD. Cold venues are super rare these days especially during the last set. Had a good time. read more

All around great club. Friendly staff and security. Awesome service for starting and closing tabs via your phone. Sound system is great and parking is abundant. read more

Really cool location. Incredible screens. Fast entrance. Excited to go again for another event!

YOu need more than one room for your edm events. Irene does not match Planet of the Drums. They need different stages for different consumers. Also PUT UP A SIGN SAYING NO FOOD INDOORS. Your bar staff treated me like GARBAGE for bringing food YOU SELL into your business from the brutal cold outside. read more

Silo is a mockery of dance music. They staff the venue with people who do not know how to work the sound they have obviously spent tons of money on. The sound is never consistent. Some nights it's on and perfect and sometimes you are wondering where the bass is. The staff they hire is extremely dishonest and likes to let their friends instigate situations with other attendees because they know security will kick the other party out. Also it's located in a very sketchy part of town that is perfect to catch drunk or intoxicated people and rob them after they leave. It's in a very quiet business district of town. Also the bouncers will attempt to initiate fights. Silo is the type of business that you have to be willing to defend yourself while there if you choose to go. As a man I've never been somewhere that has ever made me consider a non lethal means of self defense such as pepper spray. I would recommend avoiding Silo because they employ crash outs that provide very reasonable reasons to utilize pepper spray because the staff seems to not know how to not put their hands on people. I give this venue a huge 'tisk tisk' and on star. They are a one star type of establishment. read more
