    I came here with my cousin and sister and it was great. Although the venue may seem small, there are plenty of tables, bar seating, and outside lunge seating available. We came on a Friday night and it was laying night with live music as well as a d.j. although the venue has a kitchen, we did not order anything to eat. Their drink availability is extensive and they have champagne available. This venue does accept table reservations with bottle service if needed. The venue has hip hop music available in the outside patio lounge if interested in different music options. The decor to the venue is amazing with lots of photo backdrop opportunities. The dance floor is pretty small but there is plenty of space to dance near your table. Parking can be a little tricky, so we got an Uber and they have a designated area to drop-off and pick-up passengers.

    Visiting from NC and we enjoyed this place tremendously! Such a vibe and the decor was very pretty and made the ambiance even better. It was not as packed as we expected it to be and we were able to find a table closer to the back of the place. They did have a dance floor towards the entrance but it was a bit small though. So there was a bunch of bumping into different people. Everyone was super friendly and efficient. Our waitress did take a while with our drinks but ehhh, it can happen so we didn't complain. We went on a friday around 11pm and I believe it was tropical night? They played a bunch of salsa, Merengue and Bachata with a few Reggaeton songs here and there. Drinks were great. Ordered the Watermelon Paloma and it was super strong and tasted delicious! We also ordered a few glasses of Brut (Prosecco) and def hit the spot also. Before we left we got complementary watermelon shots, OMG they were sooooooo good! Definitely dangerous though so be careful if you order those. They can definitely sneak up on you. They do serve food but we did not order any so cant comment on that. Towards the end we saw that they offer hookah and were bummed because we would've enjoyed that if we would've known when we first arrived. The bathrooms were gross though. Floor was wet , tissue paper all on the floor and trash was overflowing. Other than that we enjoyed our time here and will be back if we are ever in the area.

    Enjoying one of the creative spirits

    Make sure that you call in advance to know what the dress code is. If the bouncer doesn't like you, he won't let you in.

We came in near closing time, but Emilia provided us great service and stayed attentive even though they were clearly packed. We were seated at a table near the door, and unfortunately it had a vomit smell. Whatever it was, my friend could not stand it and had to get up and step away from the table. We first thought the culprit was the paper drink coasters, but then the staff removed the door mat near us later on, so maybe someone puked on it and the smell lingered, even after it was cleaned up. Clear Mizu ($16): This has Sakura vermouth and bitters, so we ordered it. It tasted like straight up gin and was not good. It was actually one of the rare times my husband could not finish his drink. Kyoto Sunset ($15): This one wasn't bad and tasted like honeydew. The ingredients include honeydew Calpico, so that makes sense. Johnny Walker Black ($16): This was our friend's drink, which I think was just coke and Johnny Walker. Nothing special about the taste either. Given the smell and so-so/terrible cocktails, we will not be coming back or taking our friends here.

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.

When we walked in, the hostesses greeted us and seated us at the table we had reserved in the Leopard Room. Initially, we were placed at a small half table along the wall. We asked if it was possible to move, and they happily accommodated us. That particular table felt a bit awkward for conversation since you can barely face the person across from you. It might work better for someone sitting alone and people watching rather than having a full conversation. Service throughout the night was great. The staff checked in regularly without being intrusive and made sure we always had what we needed. For drinks, I would say they were just okay. They were not bad, but they also were not particularly memorable. Given the speakeasy concept, I expected a bit more creativity in both flavor and presentation. We ordered the Melting Clock Elixir, Persistence of Berries, Cotton Candy Cloud, and the Surrealist 75. As the night went on, the space became much more crowded and louder once the DJ started playing. If you are hoping to have a relaxed conversation and catch up with friends, this might not be the best spot later in the evening. From what I saw, the Library Room seems to have a nicer atmosphere for that. The Leopard Room leans more toward a lounge or club-like environment as the night progresses.
