The rooftop lounge is a nice after work spot for leisure activities. The drinks are expensive, but the size of the drink is large so I didn't mind paying the price. The food was good and I enjoyed the ambience. The artwork was very nice. The staff were very nice. I came here after work and it does get crowded around 6 PM. Overall this is a nice chill laid-back lounge to come with friends. There is also sipping paint activities and you can't beat the beautiful view.
Me and my girlfriend came here towards the end of our night. We came pretty close to closing time, so we weren't here for long. We had a drink each and then took some pictures of the view and then made our way out. The view is really nice. Definitely worth visiting for the view. It has a great view of Downtown Dallas's skyline. Other than that, that's probably it. Drinks are pretty expensive. I think we paid like $40 for two drinks. While we were there, the staff is just cleaning up and putting everything away, so we didn't really enjoy it. Just felt like we were being rushed to get out of there. Other than that, it's a decent place to grab a drink. I'm sure it gets pretty packed during the weekends, it was a Monday when we went.
We stayed at the Canvas hotel, and went to the Gallery Lounge for dinner before going to the event we had planned for later. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. There are several cool pieces of art inside, but we decided to seat outdoors to enjoy the sunset by the rooftop pool. There was also a fire pit that was lit when started getting dark. We ordered lemon pepper chicken strips and a spinach and tomato flat bread. The food was ok. My fiancée ordered a margarita that was $19. We enjoyed our evening and didn't really mind the overpriced drinks
The bar tender will have you feeling amazing in no time lol. The drinks were great, views are beautiful and hopefully you come on day without a huge crowd.
The vibe of this place is so great! Great drinks, beautiful views, and it's trendy yet classy. But I thought bartenders are supposed to be friendly and bubbly? Right after my friend and I got our bill, I grabbed my calculator out on my phone to give this bartender a 20% tip and I guess the bartender thought I was taking too long and rudely said to the other bartender that me and my friend needed to 'Get the f*ck out of here and go home.' I don't know her name, but here's a photo I have of her that I got on accident while I was taking a video of the place earlier in the night.
Loved my drink! We showed up too late for food. I've drank at many places across the DFW but $15 a drink? It could've been a little more strong. The service was slow due to it only being one guy and the pool was VERY BUSY. However, he was amazing and still took his time helping me. He said he created the drink I ordered but I definitely modified it! I Can say the ambiance was great and I'll be back in the future but next time, I'll have a few drinks in the car!
Open during Covid, and a welcoming place even for children to swim, I love the vibe of this rooftop lounge. I'll be honest though, a custom cocktail like a blueberry margarita, will set you back $20. Almost all of the cocktails here are between $15-$25. But the bright side is that you can recline on a nice sofa in a cabana-like setting with cream colored drapes blowing in the winds, while overlooking the city of Dallas across an infinity pool.
Service:3/5 Environment: 5/5 Food/drink: 3/5 This may be my favorite view of the dallas skyline. Everything else is okay, but it absolutely is the place to go for a good view in nice weather!
Nice place, casual vibe with upbeat EDM & hip-hop. Not too loud so you can enjoy a drink and hear yourself think. Atmosphere is top notch, and drinks are reasonable all things considered.
Dallas' skyline is the best in Texas (and that's tough for me to say as a former Houstonian). When looking for a place to imbibe, there aren't many places with a view like this to match. We visited the lounge last week. Drinks were potent and priced as you'd expect for an upscale environment. Music was on point (def appeals to Gen Y and younger). The only complaint I had was the winter weather (can't wait to sample the infinity pool during the spring/summer). Order the Blood, Sweat and Tears cocktail (I think that was the name... had a few... lol) and thank me later.
This will fit the bill if you're looking specifically for a rooftop bar in Dallas. However, it won't blow you away by any means. The city skyline is about all that's impressive about this. I'm sure during the day, hotel guests enjoy the rooftop infinity pool area, but it's overall small and leaves some to be desired. The footprint of the outdoor area is small, almost too small, while the inside bar area is reminiscent of a club. It would have been much cooler had the design from downstairs in the Nylo hotel been brought up to the rooftop. Instead, the vibe is easily replicated and doesn't stand out among the many other bars, rooftop or otherwise, on the Dallas city limits. The area of town is a bit sketchy. It was difficult to find parking on the street, or in a nearby lot that didn't have towing signs plastered everywhere. Anywhere that doesn't make it easy to access already loses points in my book, and when the atmosphere isn't up to par, it likely won't be receiving a re-visit. I assume hotel guests are the primary patrons, but the place has potential to be a public hot spot, especially among millenials thirsty for a good view (no pun intended). The drink specials weren't anything to special, and the service was difficult to judge seeing as we were some of the only people up there (perhaps there's a reason for this). The emptiness was certainly a red flag since the view was as picturesque as it was.
Chill little lounge with a nice vibe just outside of downtown Dallas. The rooftop has some sweet views of the skyline and is a welcoming atmosphere for anyone local, or visitors looking for a chiq spot in the city. Wish there was a bit more seating availability - it's kind of hard to hang out with a decent size group, but would work great for little parties or a romantic date night. I wasn't able to check out the entire menu, but we ordered the beef nachos tasted amazing! Definitely would recommend to anyone in the area or new to town for drinks and vibes. The Gallery is casual, calm, and trendy for all walks of life. read more
We originally came for a DJ set for Justin Beiber's SWAG listening party but stayed for the flatbread ! I got a pina colada and the Texas bbq flatbread. 10/10 , it was delicious and fulfilling enough for two people ! The pina colada was decently strong and tasted great. Service was kind of slow and for something as messy as this flatbread , it's kinda weird it doesn't come out with at least one napkin. The bartender was amicable and attentive, great job on the piña coladas ! read more

Cute little area that provides a good amount of chill and upbeat (depending on the night that you visit). Anticipate a crowd on some Friday and Saturday nights, but the rest of the weekdays will be relatively calm. I've been here a handful of times with my best friend and we love the views from the top. I wouldn't say it's one of the highest or most glamorous, but you can get a really nice shot of the Dallas skyline with a nice drink in hand. Drinks are averagely priced, and they do have specials on certain days. They have a limited bar menu as well. Anticipate $10-15 per drink, and the bartenders are fairly heavy-handed. I'm not too big of a fan of the paper cups, but it does keep the pool environment more safe than glass. The infinity pool is extremely small, and I have yet to see people swim in it. It's been a minute since I visited Soda Bar in the summer, so maybe visitors will be more inclined to swim when the weather is warmer. Most nights, people steer clear of the pool and just lounge around it with good company and conversation. It's a pleasant location to visit, and they also provide valet parking. I recommend coming here if you're looking to impress a date with a good view of the Dallas skyline :) read more

The Gallery is a great rooftop pool/bar spot not too far from downtown Dallas. Open to the public with the pool closing at dusk, the drinks and service are pretty good. I absolutely loved the view and the seating it intimate, though if you are looking for shade it's either inside or get there earlier cause there's only one cabana area. I went during my stay at the attached hotel downstairs, Canvas, and ordered a drink (they are not big glasses) to sip and chill in the pool. Not too crowded either days, except the bar had a bit of a wait. If you are coming on the weekend see my tip about parking. You can order a few bites, but a good relaxing spot none the less and there's a great restaurant in the lobby, Chef's Palette if you get super hungry. read more

Such a chill place before 9pm. And after 9pm it becomes more lively and entertaining. Beautiful views, great drinks, and friendly staff. The manager was walking around and picking up empty glasses, straightening chairs, and making sure everyone had what they needed. read more

To say I absolutely love The Gallery Rooftop lounge would be an understatement. From the moment you enter the eclectic lobby of the Canvas hotel you'll start to smile. The incorporation of original works of art in the lounge, with the spectacular backdrop of the pool and Dallas skyline will compliment your craft cocktail perfectly. I always find new faces at the bar, and enjoy laughing with them and the friendly staff; some select nights I even get to wiggle at the bar to the sounds of a guest DJ. Did I mention they have reverse happy hours? See you at the bar XOXO Lorenzo read more

I came here tonight for a good time with my girlfriend and the manager of the bar upstairs on rooftop was so unprofessional! He called me a liar in front of my girlfriend and I expect a apology for that second of all guy called me a liar because I said you charged me twice he didn't believe me so I showed him bank transaction! Just to prove I was charged twice on two different cards same tab! I then was waiting for my girlfriend by the restroom same manager said I looked weird waiting I was like are you serious this guy should not be a manager at all extremely unprofessional I hope to not see him again since I like this bar read more

I can't believe I have never heard of this place! Its off Lamar and if your in the area, please stop in and go up to the 6th floor where there is the most beautiful view of Downtown Dallas! SODA Bar has a very small pool area where you can put your feet in and enjoy looking around at all Dallas has to offer! So if you love rooftop pools, check this one out. Especially at night time!!! read more
Soda bar is located inside NYLO. This place is all about the amazing view that overlooks Downtown Dallas. Pictures really don't do this place justice. The inside has some seating with a full bar which includes their specialty cocktails. Once you step outside, you see beautiful Downtown view and their infinity pool in the middle of the rooftop. They have ample seating outside. I can't wait until it gets warmer so we can really enjoy this place. I highly recommend this place to end your night because you won't want to leave! read more

Awful. Terrible. The only good thing about this bar and why I assume they're still in business is because of the spectacular view of the Dallas skyline. Let me Tarantino this review- My fiancé put an extraordinary amount of effort (and money) into turning my birthday weekend into something special. Part of the reason we stayed at the NYLO South Side was because of this bar and the amazing view. Our stop here was going to be the cherry on top of a whirlwind weekend of being wined and dined. But instead the weekend of feeling like a sophisticated adult ended with us feeling like drunk college students and not in a fond memory kind of way. The bar itself is not well maintained. The drinks are over-priced (even for Dallas) and poured into plastic cups. Even my wine was poured into a PLASTIC wine glass! The patrons are a mix of your typical Dallas night club folks mixed with older people trying to recapture their youth. After we spent over $20 on two drinks, I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there and back to our room. Luckily since our drinks were in plastic cups we took a few pictures of the skyline and headed out, never ever to return again! I was truly disappointed with the SODA Bar because I had been looking forward to it all night and the NYLO had done such an amazing job of being so detail-oriented and accommodating that I was expecting nothing less from the bar that sits atop their roof. I suggest you take you $20 to a better bar unless you're into terrible service and bad drinks. read more
