I've been to a lot of cocktail bars in Dallas, and I will say this one was the most expensive. However, of all the bars I've been to this is the only one I am 100% certain they will make my drink right. I'm working a list of Top 50 cocktails and they had no problem with the obscure ones. When I went on a Friday night they had a live jazz band. Even though they were playing dixeland jazz which is very hokey, it was cool to see and made a happy vibe. If you don't mind walking 3 blocks you can avoid their valet as the spot is secluded from other businesses. read more

Oh, HELL YEAH!!!! 5 Stars and Beyond!!! Came in, this evening. Very Sexy Bar! A very chill vibe! A booklet featuring an extensive collection of cocktails, small bites, mocktails, from classics to imported beers. Huge selection. I tried this refreshing cocktail called Grand Tour. A must try! A little sweet and less bitter. Ruel, the fabulous mixologist, does drinks right! My drink tasted like a NOT overly sweet cocktail, fruity and slightly bubbly. My kind of superb cocktail! The munchies they offer you are toasted Texas Pecans, and Corn Nuts! Delicious to the core! Thanks to our bartender, Ruel! I assume EVERYTHING on their cocktail Bible is a hit, just mine was. Pricey, yes. I had 2, and they were worth it! This effortlessly chic bar, located inside the Mansion on Turtle Creek Hotel, is a real hit with guests, tourists, and locals! Excellent service! A must stop! And it's really busy during happy hour and peak hours! You'll thank me later..... Cheers, Yelpers! read more

Used to be 5+ star. This *was* a Dallas crown jewel of an upscale bar with fantastic service and music, but it's flipped upside down. 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. read more

Up until recently, had been coming here 10-40 times a year for years and love it. Love the ambience, the staff, the food. This is our go to spot that we really cherish. The new renovations are gorgeous and really keep that old timey, cigar room feel while brightening up the beautiful dining space. That said, one huge negative now exists that really limits how often I come, and that's that the formerly complimentary (and previously fantastic) valet is not only not complimentary but $10 + convenience charge + tip. I can even understand charging for parking for an overnight stay but I cannot understand a Rosewood five star resort gouging its restaurant and bar guests for $10. To add insult to injury, the automatic suggested tip is $20! It's tacky, it's not the vibe, and it really makes this place seem fake nice. Bring back the old valet personnel and system - if it ain't broke, don't fix it! read more

Great service from the moment we were received by valet to the moment we left. Live band was fantastic. Service was prompt. Everyone was super friendly & accommodating. Old gem but still worth its dime! We'll be back for sure. read more

Came for a cocktail. Fancy. Proud of their fancy. Bartender was a dream and sold us on a second round while we waited for an Iber to our evening soirée. Thanks, Daniel! read more

One of our favorite locations to meet friends for some nosh and cocktails. Perfect service throughout the evening.

I was so excited to check this place out but the door man/host near the bar was very rude. We didn't have a reservation wanted to grab a cocktail at the bar and he told us that they were at capacity. He told the next couple that they could go in and and have a seat at the bar. I approached him again and asked if there was room at the bar because I over heard and he was very rude and said you could go stand there if you want. Being at capacity is very different. I expected decent customer service and at the very least to be treated respectfully. One bad apple will ruin your bunch. Whoever the guy was on August 24 around 8pm needs to go through basic customer service training. read more

Amazing!!! I went for brunch and everything was delicious!!!! It's a little pricey, but the experience was well worth it.

Such a beautiful and chill atmosphere. This is what a bar is supposed to be like. Great drinks, excellent service (Laney was awesome!) and tasty bites. read more

This place would have been five stars because of the following: 1. Beautiful bar: dimly lit, lots of seating, great fireplace, two sections which bring a more cozy feel. 2. Great cocktails: My husband got the Old Fashioned and I got the Manhattan--both were wonderful. 3. Waiters: Very friendly and attentive. 4. Live Music: Very nice and not too loud. The reason for my two-star rating is that we were not told that a $25 per person charge was going to be added to our bill because we were still there when the live music started (we arrived around 8pm and the live music started at 9pm). When I complained about it to the guy outside the door, telling him that this was unacceptable that we were not informed of this, he gave a flippant reply. When we left there was a sign outside, but only because it was after 9pm. The sign was not there earlier. If you get there before 9pm, you will have no knowledge of this, and they will tack it on to your bill. Not only is this unacceptable, but outrageous. The band was good, but certainly not worth $25 pp. read more

First off, I have loved this place in the past. Upon my last visit, not so much. Both of the bartenders, I believe their names were Micky Mouse? and George. They both seemed like they had been drinking, and were very off putting. They both even seemed to disappear for extended periods of time which was very confusing. I was entertaining a client and was quite embarrassed. When one of them finally came to help us, it was an extremely awkward interaction from The Micky guy, with him making inappropriate comments. We looked for a manager and even asked for one, to no avail. Wont be back. read more

The name pretty much says it all! High end all the way. Reminds me of bars I would visit in Manhattan. Very dark cozy pub like atmosphere with a piano to boot. The drinks went down fast and refilled just as quickly. You just can't go wrong with the Mansion on turtle creek read more

They change bartenders frequently, new bartenders don't know a thing about Mixology, should stick up with same bartenders. Only valet to park car, which is ridiculous. Should be able to park our car ourselves. I dont like to give my car to a stranger. Drinks 22$ for what? Pricier than everywhere else. read more

Recently, my husband and I made reservations at the Mansion Bar to see a particular band. We had lovely bar bites and drinks and the people watching was great. But the experience was not. The band we went to see wasn't the one playing even though they were still listed on the website, we had not been called to be told differently and we were not told upon arrival. A staff member said that it was worse the night before as the band didn't even show up. I wrote an email to the hotel expressing my displeasure and now 5 days later, I have heard nothing from them. It is NOT what I would expect from a 5 star hotel. read more

Have heard so much about this bar over the years. the look was a little tired, the service slow, but no fault of the over worked staff, just short staffed, crowded bar with only one person working the room. She did her best Had nice seat in room outside main bar. read more

The Mansion is an iconic Texas spot in Dallas due to its history and luxury so it's a must on your bucket list. The service is perfection and the ambiance is warm and classy. If you feel you might be overdressed, you won't be. But, business casual will still be okay. As for the food, very good! I can't say it was the best I've ever had, as I did expect better, but as I mentioned... very good. I do plan on going again as I look forward to a different menu. read more

I recently came to The Mansion Bar and I am a big fan. It is tucked away inside a hotel in the Turtle Creek area. I love the dark ambiance with the scant lighting. The wait staff are very friendly and can whip up a mean cocktail. Drinks are a little pricey, but worth it. I had a drink with gin, cranberry, and egg white... it was delicious and refreshing. My friend tried the aviation and it was even better, it is a sweeter concoction which is right up my alley. They also served complimentary pecans and olives. Definitely give The Mansion Bar a shot. read more

Our experience was elegant ,refined,relaxed and exceptional ! Well presented ! Our waiter had been there for 40 years ! Must do restaurant !Food was delicious . read more

Everything was great. Food, service and ambiance. I had two drinks with friends. My friends had three drinks per person, and the total bill was close to $600 with food. The manager kicked us out after we paid once I asked for a third drink. Lost our table and time. No service and total "bitch". That's a strong word but it's the right one. read more

This place is a hidden gem! The ambiance was nice and mellow with great live music. Our bartender Michael was friendly and made an excellent Manhattan. There was live music and the musician was also 5 star! He played a mix of genres and was excellent on the guitar and piano. To continue the 5 star experience the valet had our car pulled up as we were walking out the lobby door. Very impressed and we will be back read more

Ahhh! Luxury and comfort combined. Taking friends to The Mansion for happy hour truly makes for a happy time. This place brings many happy memories to mind for me and it is always pleasant to make new ones with friends who have not experienced this special aura before. The Mansion represents the best of Dallas hospitality. read more

Cozy upscale bar with a live band but noise level was perfect for conversations. Drinks were appropriately priced and perfect.

Classy joint for classy people. I'm a big jazz fan (and vocalist) so this is one of my go to sports to hear live jazz. And people watch. Gotta love rich Dallas people, they are unintentionally hilarious! The ambience of the bar is cool; low lit with an old school men's club kind of vibe. Great for meeting out of town sugar daddies or joining a random drink wedding party Congo line! read more

I've been in Dallas a few months now, and I have heard over and over again to visit the mansion. I loved it for so many reasons! From valet parking to the bartenders you were greeted with a huge smile, and hello that made you feel at home. The live music was the excellent combination of sexy and shake my grove thing. I met people from all over the world, and that's my favorite kind of place. I didn't make it to dinner so I can't comment on the food, but that's coming. Not a place to forget your Amex, but you can survive on a keep it cute budget! read more

It was our first date many months ago. We quickly fell in love. He ordered me the Far Niente without even asking, (because he poached me while I was on a date in his place so attentiveness to detail was cute) and a bourbon neat. We discussed the future plans for other restaurants. His Black Hair and Hazel Eyes were caught off guard by the charming heart felt conversation of being interested not just interesting. You can build all the fantasies you want when you are in a dark wood cave with low lights and rocking high heels. However they are all concrete truths now. :-) The painted picture is yours for the taking bc everyone here is walking on a dream also. Get yours. Stepping into places like the Mansion you can just be yourself. I have met so many wonderful people, gone in with other people that are phenomenal, and run into people I love. The connections you build here will last you a life time. All great company, reflections of work hard play hard. The experiences I have had here are just mind blowing how walking this life is a treasure chest full of fun. It is such a hide a way. The live music on Thursdays is a plus. The menu consist of the best brisket tacos on the planet and crack covered truffle fries, and you can still get the mini burgers but they are not on the menu. However I hate white foods, and he says it is aoili and I say it is mayo. PS they make their own tonic here and chicona (however you freaking spell it) for the Best Gin and Tonic on the Planet. Zero carbonation. If the weather is nice sit on the patio, walk through the dining area to get there. If it is not, sit by the fire place and get your legs rubbed and talk about Alaska. Valet it is your best option. They are superb. read more

The Mansion Bar - Far Niente and house made gin and tonic with chichona and I loved him then and now. How to thurs. - Lounges Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I used to come to this bar all the time before the pandemic, one of my favorite things about this bar was the live music on the weekends. The bartender before was very nice and a gentleman. I came tonight to check it out, since it's been a while. All new bartenders and no live music. I don't mind the no live music part, but my experience was very rude. I sat at the bar and didn't get on a "hello, how are ya" or anything.. I was sitting for a good 6 mins.. no one said a thing or even looked my way. Then, another customer walks up and gets customer service right away. Let's keep in mind we look different. But he go to served before me. I will not be leaving a tip. read more

Great service, friendly servers, and awesome bartenders especially Thomas! Love the vibe of this place

I love going to the Mansion Bar which is located in The Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. My favorite place to grab a pre dinner drink at the bar. The hotel and grounds are gorgeous. If your up to dinner or brunch they do have an awesome patio space under the trees perfect for dining alfresco. The Mansion at Turtle Creek was the first of the Rosewood hotels, founded in 1979 by Caroline Rose Hunt ( she died in 2018) Caroline was the daughter of the Texas oil tycoon H.L. Hunt. Caroline transformed the Mansion into to a hotel now known as Rosewood Mansion. The bar is stunning with rich woods, the best liquors, a grand piano, stunning fireplace, beautiful art and dim lighting. Warm and rich with hospitality and great cocktails you've come to expect from the luxury brand, Rosewood. read more

I love this place... seriously. Want to see Dallas underground? This is the place to go. Positioned in the gorgeous Mansion hotel is the mansion bar. You would think a hotel bar doesn't get rowdy well that's where you are wrong. It is a people watching paradise. I'll start with the atmosphere. It's stunning. Gorgeous woods, comfy seating if you get there early enough. Table service for drinks and water, hallelujah. The drinks are well made. Tasty bourbon options great old fashions and martinis. Something for everyone. The bands that play are also always a hit. Great music with a lot of cool covers of old and modern music. I can't think of a negative except that it does get pretty crowded. But what awesome bar doesn't.... read more

I love this place. Such a great hidden gem. The bar is quaint and classy. Super cozy and they have live music Thursday-Saturday. The bands are all amazing. To food is amazing and the drinks are always great. Service is always good. They have a cute patio too that is nice in summer and winter, as they have a fireplace to keep you warm during colder months. read more

Nice place with live music good to go with friends or your spouse to have a good time . I have been here 2 times the first with my wife and they were playing live music for example Bruno Mars and Michel Jackson music . The second time I went it was kind of depressing the band that was playing it was like the guy wanted to end his life he was complaining about his life and saying things in the microphone that didn't make any sense so we left but over all it's a awesome place to go . Just call to see what kind of band is playing first . read more

First visit to The Mansion for boyfriend and I. Started in the bar while waiting for our table. The bar is a beautiful, dimly lit, intimate spot. The rich, heavy wood decor gave it a pleasant old time feel, Drinks weren't much more pricey than other places in the area and they're generous with the pour. Great place to start or end your eve after dinner. read more

The Mansion Bar - A Cherry Shrub & Moscow Mule - yummm! - Lounges Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Disappointed. I wanted to go somewhere classy for my birthday. I put on a black tie suit and my girlfriend put on a nice dress. On approach the place looks swanky and classy. Valet takes my car and we head inside. Expected 50s/60s "Mad Men" level class and style, however, upon entering the bar we see plenty of people wearing shorts and hawaiian shirts (a.k.a. Casual attire). People dressed as if coming down from their hotel room at a Best Western. The drinks were expensive and very underwhelming. Apparently this place used to be the cream of Dallas but no longer. Overall: Not a classy place anymore. Cocktails are meh. Disappointed. read more

Super fantastic place to spend an evening! Loved it! From the peaceful patio to the quaint and warm jazz bar, everything including the service was spot on! read more

Wonderful atmosphere. Main lobster dish was delicious but sparse. Our server Susan was positively delightful. Next time we want to try the amuse bouche tasting menu read more

Swank little bar, nice and dark. Happy hour is 3-6p and will get you half off the wine and beer (no cocktail action, sorry)! And the wine can have some steep prices even at the low end, so there's that. :/ We had the cheese plate, which was ok but for $22 didn't especially blow my skirt up. (And even if I weren't having a hot and heavy affair with Scardello, I still found it a little meh.) But there are a number of yummy looking nibbles for $5 each (all the time, not just happy hour) so it is possible to come have a good time here without breaking the bank! read more

The SETTING: Three (3) visits over the last 6 months with GF/friends The VIBE - 5 Stars - Upscale and swanky, no one is casually dressed here! Great live (typically jazz) music on the weekends, HH from 3-6 if you're so inclined, $5 bites (limited menu items) all the time! I love the crowd, the music, the comfortable seating, pretty much everything about it....but you need to be in a certain kind of mood to come here. The SERVICE - 4.5 Stars - The staff is clearly educated about their offerings and taught to accommodate at all costs. Service is fairly quick considering the sheer number of people that seem to fit in this small place. The FOOD - 3.5 Stars - While the food is actually good, I find everything other than the $5 bites overpriced. You might as well go to a swanky Dallas dinner spot and then come here for drinks and music... The COCKTAILS - 4 Stars - Everything I've tried (Mild Sedative, French 75, Old Fashion) has been well made and enjoyable. Although slightly expensive (around $12/cocktail), this seems to be the new Dallas standard and isn't priced out of the market. You are paying partially for the vibe, which I clearly enjoy. The Bottom Line - A great post dinner/charity event/wedding spot with a date or small group of friends dressed up nice for a swanky evening. read more
