    Looking for a chill spot in the Irving Texas area then I suggest you give The Loft Restaurant and Bar a try. The restaurant and bar are located in a very modern style hotel named NYLO. The front desk personnel will direct you to the restaurant and bar area. If you check in on Yelp you can get a check in offer of 20% off food for lunch and dinner. We were there just for drinks so wasn't able to use the deal. Since it was so late the bar was basically the only thing open. We grabbed a seat towards the end of the bar. The bartender was kinda busy but she did acknowledge that we were there. I'm in love with barrel aged drinks so I ordered the Tres Agaves Orange/Grapefruit Old Fashioned drink. It was phenomenal so much so that I had to have another. My friend had a Campari Drink that he created. His was also good but I don't like gin so it was very dry to me. We had a good time and enjoyed the chill atmosphere. The restaurant and bar are located close to the pool area of the hotel. I would have love to sit outside and enjoy the cool Texas air but the pool was hopping and I wasn't try to fool around with that energy. My friend had a blast reading the Yelp reviews for this spot. I would recommend you give it a try. The Loft Restaurant and Bar 1001 W Royal Ln NYLO Irving, TX 75039 Saturday July 7, 2018 9:30pm

    Pineapple margarita

    So I came down for dinner and a drink since I'm staying in the hotel. I ordered a pineapple margarita (wasn't on the menu) but she made it and it was tasty. I interacted with 3 different staff/ bar tenders and all were very nice. I ordered the Brussels sprouts and chips and queso. The queso was ok.I made it better by adding lime juice from my margarita lime. The chips were good though. Tasted homemade. The candied Brussels sprouts were SO good! The hot honey on them and the crunch! Definitely recommend. I had another pineapple margarita by a different bar tender. Didn't taste the same as the first one, but it was actually better. I felt prices were decent as well!

    Our experience was nice! They have holiday hours going on now- so we cane to happy hour a little early (originally 4-7, Monday-Friday). Got a Groupon to try it out! For drinks, S/O got a Mexican mule and I got a cranberry mule per my waiters recommendation. Both were lovely and strong! I got a margarita for the second drink, and that wasn't quite as strong. People were raving about the calamari...and rightfully so. Calamari is one of those dishes that is hard to mess up, and taste relatively the same everywhere, and I loved Loft's panko version! The sauces that came with it were good, too! We got crab cakes, and while they were good, we both didn't care for the extra fishy flavor and aioli on top. We shared an entree- the brisket burger with broccoli. This was so so good. The meat was a true medium, and we requested no cheese, and you wouldn't even need it because the meat is so flavorful! Our waiter was very attentive and checked on us appropriately. Forgot his name, but he was kind!! Sit near the bar area and you will not be forgotten. Four stars for the eh crab cakes and the price! Without the Groupon, it was a little over 70 bucks :/ a little too pricey. I attached a few photos and a photo of their happy hour since it's NO WHERE online. Hope it helps someone out!

    This review pertains to the lobby/bar area. I've always been curious about NYLO in Las Colinas since it was near my work building and wanted to try out a boutique hotel bar. So I invited some friends for happy hour on a Thursday night (advertised as 'well-heeled Thursdays'). The entrance wasn't clearly marked and the lobby area was dark. Front-desk folks were friendly and responsive. The furnishings were nice and modern. At the bar, we couldn't get seated at the nice U-shaped seats since we didn't have group of 8 people. We settled for seats at the long table instead, near the kitchen, and somewhat overlooking the nice pool area. The furniture is modern, funky, and uncomfortable. There was live music that night, a guy at a keyboard and a female singer provided enjoyable music (but I can't tell you now what she sang). The staff members are cute and young, but appear to be inexperienced. We asked for happy hour beer, and instead of bringing beer on tap, she brought beer in bottles (a difference of $3 vs. $6). I think sushi that night was 50% off, but the portions weren't too big. The fried calamari with spicy sauce was a hit and worth whatever it cost. my friend ordered the $20 Sangria pitcher and she sent the whole thing back as it tasted completely of slightly flavored ice water. You can take your drinks out to the pool area with shaded cabanas and they'll give you plastic containers. Visually stunning place, service was so-so. Beer was served warm. The entire bar temperature was a bit warm as well. We liked how our group of four were able to converse fairly well without having to raise our voices or get distracted by sports TV. Will most likely not come back here again since their bar food menu is limited and very pricey (compared to say, Humperdinks, or any other other places in Las Colinas). Overall experience is so-so and largely negative.

    Chefs choice. It was so amazing! We specifically requested yellowtail and the chef did his thing!

    The sushi is so underrated! My boyfriend and I were planning on going to Blue Fish as we normally would but his friend suggested that we check the sushi bar out since we were staying in the hotel. I'm so glad we did 'cause it was such a great experience. We dine Omakase style (chef's choice). Our only preference was to incorporate some yellowtail into the mix. The presentation was so pretty and everything was just so fresh and my palette was so so happy. I did take awhile for us to receive the food even though we dined at the sushi bar. OH, and what totally blew me away was the ambiance. It's such a cutesy, cozy place for date night. They had someone that was performing live. For the first hr or so, I thought it was just music that they were playing but I couldn't believe there was someone in the corner just singing his heart away. It was so amazing. It's been a longg time since I've heard anyone execute covers like the way he did. Apparently he's there a couple times a month.

    The food was good and the service was friendly and quick. The burger was really tasty and cooked to order.

They have a pretty good selection of beers and of liquors (I presume wine, too, but I didn't check). While there are "bourbon bars" with a wider bourbon selection or "gin bars" with a wider gin selection, they have an above average selection of each, and they don't charge absurd up charges for choosing the liquor you like. The bartender is very polite. There's ample seating at the bar, and you can also take your drink to some loungy-er chairs in the nearby part of the hotel lobby. All in all, a solid bar.

    I stopped by here killing time. I searched happy hour for bars and this popped up. I didnt realize…read moreit was inside of a hotel until I pulled up surprise! You walk in and the bar is to your right. It was about 6 and no one was at the bar. There was a group of guys discussing something over drinks in the lounge area but that was about it. The bartender came right up to my boyfriend and I. I told the bartender my boyfriend had never been to Texas so we tried out essentially every tap by sampling which was nice that he offered that up. After we tried each beer we decided on some options. The bartender went back to texting in the corner and we sat at the bar listening to the music playing in the open concept lobby/bar area We eventually took over the seating area that group was in because the couches looked more cozy than the bar. The happy hour advertised is not a thing anymore, they now have reverse happy hour from 9-10. The beers weren't too expensive as our tab was only $13 which I doable. The bartender disappeared from the bar for a fair amount of time which made me anxious because I used to be a bartender, I guess he trusted we wouldn't leave without paying. He didnt come check on us to see if we needed another beer but that was ok I guess. I went back up to the bar to cash out and that was that. This bar is good for a quick drink but I wouldn't probably go for a top notch bar experience.

    Fantastic Nepalese/Indian cuisine on Main Street!…read more We stopped by Karma and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is large with a nice bar area and the service was very friendly and efficient! Apps: Chili Momos (Veg) and Gobi Manchurian - the momos were super crispy and the sauce was very spicy in a good way! The Manchurian was so saucy and packed with flavor. Recommend both! Mains: Himalayan Thukpa, Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta - the Thukpa was the highlight! The broth was perfectly salty with a great umami taste. The Malai Kofta was rich and I enjoyed the cheesy koftas. The Palak Paneer was tasty, but I enjoyed the malai and thukpa more! Dessert: Pistachio Cheesecake - delicious! More like a pistachio ice cream cake, but it was so good and not too sweet!

The Himalayan thali was the highlight naan so soft it felt like clouds, and lentil curry that carried deep, cozy flavors. The chowmein with lamb and chicken had that smoky stir-fry kick, and the momos were a joy to try. The butter tikka momos were creamy and rich, while the choila momos with the chef's sauce brought a spicy spark that stayed with me. The drinks matched the season perfectly. The Gurkhas Old Fashioned was smooth with a twist, and the hot rum punch felt like warmth in a glass just right for winter. The place itself was cozy, with a vibe that made me want to linger. Even during busy hours the staff stayed friendly, though the food took a little longer to arrive. Still, the service felt welcoming. Altogether, the mix of food, drinks, and atmosphere made the evening memorable in its own way.
