This is my favorite bar in Deep Ellum and the first place I start my afternoon or evening when I visit the neighborhood. Norell is the best bartender and always seems to be in a good mood. The place itself is pretty dark inside, which is convenient during those hot summer days. At night, they frequently have some great live music acts. During the day you will likely run into some locals and their dogs. Order yourself a shot of Malort and chase it down with a Coors Banquet! read more

Their beer selection is very good and has a lot of variety as well Love that they have an outdoor seating area & the vibes indoors & outdoors were absolutely immaculate! Service was great, bartender let me sample a couple of beers before offering me the Irish Coffee which ended up being my drink of choice for the rest of the night. The Irish coffee is SO GOOD!! Me and my friends ordered like 5 of them read more

By far the best bar in Deep Ellum. I've had this yelp account for sometime. Mainly to just check reviews before I take a leap. Now I'm dialed in and speaking my truth. I've been a customer here for over 10 years. Last night however was my first time back since COVID. And needless to say this place does not disappoint. read more

In Deep Ellum, you want a little swanky with a splash of dive, Twilite is it. Great staff, great vibe, solid bands, with a great patio! Norrel, Elliot, Rene, or Jeremy will take care of you... A definite must stop if you're in Deep Ellum. read more

Sarah was amazing! And the restrooms were 10/10. Definitely a good spot to go to and check out when in Dallas

A dive bar in the heart of Deep Ellum, amazing live music, with NO COVER! I don't know if they always have music but we were here late on a Saturday night and the bluesy band performing was incredible. The bouncer caught us do a double take when we heard the music and we were in there in a heartbeat when he said there was no cover. After about 20 minutes the whole place was packed, standing room only. We only ordered a couple beers but there was a good selection of local stuff on draft. read more

Cool and calm dive bar where you can just chill and vibe. Bartender made specialty drinks, provided excellent service and drink prices were super reasonable. The outside patio was real chill, wish the music was just a tad bit louder. Music selections was a variety of everything. Older mellow crowd right in the middle of chaos, which was perfect for me. read more

Great service and the atmosphere is amazing! I went for my birthday and the place was crazy busy, met new people read more

I love coming to this bar, the ambiance and the service is the vibe! I would recommend a frozen coffee here, it's amazing! I've never had a frozen coffee alcoholic drink taste as good! I would recommend Elliot as the bartender, he does an amazing job! read more

Super friendly staff and nice chill bar during the day. I haven't gone at night but the drinks were good!

Hole-in-the wall dive bar in Hipster-Central Depo Ellum! Nothing fancy in ghe Twilight Lounge; just an old fashioned pub. Limit your mixed drinks to 2 ingredients to avoid overwhelming the bartender. But the bar is well-stocked, and the casual vibe is a welcome relief from the frenzied prep-school polish of many Deep Ellum bars! Def stop here for an Irish Coffe; frozen from a machine - it is perfect. PERFECT. If you want more Irish Whiskey in yours to make it kick harder - Jameson awaits behind the bar! Sadly; the frozen Jack & Coke is no longer available. Or at least it wasn't last night. That concoction would've really brought out the trailer-trash element! Hah! read more

This spot reminds me a lot of New Orleans, which is a great compliment (I love NOLA). Parking in Deep Ellum is pricy, but worth it because I have found Uber pickup is always a mess in this neighborhood. Love the late evening outdoor vibes on the patio as the place gets more full throughout the night. read more

Get the frozen Irish coffee! It was the best drink I've had in awhile. The crunchy coffee grounds on top make it. The service from Lora was great! read more

I. LOVE. TWILITE! There is no other bar in the Deep Ellum area like Twilite. It is a very laid back and relaxing bar and by the way, they have the BEST frozen coffee drinks. Seriously y'all, it's like drinking a Frappuccino but with alcohol. While you are there, I highly recommend trying out that drink! I wish I caught the name of the bartender who was working this past Saturday afternoon because he was so friendly and provided my group of friends with exceptional service. They also have an outdoor patio, and it is PERFECT on a warm, sunny day! Highly recommend Twilite, they are wonderful! read more

Our bartender was so so nice. She was working on a Sunday afternoon. We came in for drinks and wedding planning. The wells were only $3 each. The seating was really cute, they had booths inside and out back they had a patio area with chairs. At night its lit really nicely. On this afternoon there were only about 2 other groups of people there, and the vibe was so chill. I will definitely come back , i felt extremely welcomed. & thats important to me. Thanks, Twilite.

First time at this place, lured in by the jazz/reggae band. Upon entering the acoustics were a bit off so unfortunately the band sound a lot like noise but you could tell they were really good. We decided to sit outside because the bar wait was too long. We ended up waiting a bit outside anyway but after that the service was great. It was a little hot but for the most part it was a good spot to be in the middle of all the action but still be able to carry on a conversation. We will be back! Had a good time :) read more

Deep Ellum gets another new bar, and I'm thrilled. Finally checked it out last night and I liked it. It has a nice bar area with comfy seats. Plenty and plenty of booze. There are booths on the back wall that looked cozy. They have a patio too that I didn't get to check out, but will soon. I like that this place is not super loud, they have a cool juke box, and the Rangers were on the TV last night. Welcome to the 'hood. Can't wait to get to know you better. read more

Thursday nights at Twilite lounge are where it's at. Im from Austin and the regulars and staff are so welcoming. It's a safe place if you're looking for a good time. Reen and Norell are amazing and great bartenders. Come here if you're looking for a great time! read more

I looked this place up on google which stated they had a patio in the back that would allow me to smoke cigars. Upon arrival I had a cigar in hand and there were only two customers inside. I stood at the front door to ask the bartender behind the bar if they had an area to smoke. He quick told no and to "get out of here with that." Confused because I could clearly see the back patio, I asked again and was told "no." The customer at the bar pointed to the back patio. So a third time I asked about the backed patio. The bartender the stated, "yes, I have a patio if you run through. Which I did do. Once I got to the back I seen ash trays at every table on the patio so I knew smoking was a normal occurrence there. I was looking forward to relaxing and having a few drinks here but because of the lack of customers service as if I did not belong there I chose to go elsewhere. Unfortunately I would not recommend this bar. read more

i don't care about the saints and i hate karaoke but i will say that i'm happy twilite has managed to stick around in the neighborhood despite essentially all of the other long standing bars shutting down. would recommend if you're looking for a place to grab a basic drink and sit on a patio away from the chaos that has become deep ellum. read more

They sell Malort. 5/5 Only adding more text so that this post counts as a review rather than a tip. They have an interesting bathroom I guess. Stickers of the Fyre Fest guy are on the wall. read more

The best spot in deep ellum. Down to earth but cool. Plenty of indoor & outdoor seating. Lots of good memories from that joint.

Put a twinkle in your eye Yet another excellent addition to Deep Ellum has arrived. Twilite Lounge is a great bar for when you are in a convivial mood wanting to sing, dance or hear a great band with a lively group of people. The main room is large with chandelier and stage/living room set up. The back patio is probably the best ground level patio in Deep Ellum, full of shade and tables. Most of all, the bartenders know how to properly keep up with demand and after a few visits will probably know what drink to start preparing for you on sight. At least the do with me (maybe I do have a problem). Plus they have wait staff that will serve you if you're in a booth or out on the patio. No need to rush the bar. The musical acts that show up are varied, check their calendar online. My favorites are the Freeloaders, they carry a jazzy New Orleans beat and a raspy tune. Spontaneous dancing has been known to happen. Come on Thursdays for possibly the most creative karaoke night in Dallas. The KJs will dress up and do all sorts of antics to get people up on stage to release their inner rockstar. I especially like the color commentary and awards presentations. The stars come out at Twilite read more

I really couldn't figure the vibe the first couple of times I went in. Walk in the door. Look to the right. A casting couch awaits you. Look up. You'll see the typical unfinished ceiling adorned with ceiling fans and a couple of cool chandeliers. Look down and you'll find a decently etched concrete floor just waiting for feet and spilled drinks. Over to your right you'll find the wall is lined with "diner booths". Check out the walls. Bricks and antique wall paper decorated with pictures of Jazz and Blues artists and other treasures, like a picture of Burt from Deliverance. Take your gaze and feet straight back to the end of the room by the bookcase. Open the awaiting door to a really cute and comfy patio. Welcome to the Twilight Lounge. Beers are cold and reasonably priced. Wells are not watered down and decently priced. Bad attitude is not welcomed here. All flavors of the rainbow are. Live music, karaoke, friendly staff, and, the best juke in DE. It's all right here folks. All, under this one roof. read more

Twilite Lounge is a popular spot in the Deep Ellum neighborhood. For me, I have the best times there Sunday-Thursday nights. That's when it's not as crowded and you can really appreciate the space. Depending on the night, you might get a chance to listen to Lee Fields & The Expressions on the juke box or you might hear live music, possibly with a karaoke twist. Either way, Twilite has a smooth sultry feeling that is best enjoyed in person than reading about on my review. Space on the patio is a premium, so if you get a table with your friends, cherish it. Parking is Deep Ellum normal. read more

I've had Twilite bookmarked for quite some time. Fortunately, a group of my Yelp friends met here Saturday around 6pm. The place was fairly empty. Feeling adventurous, I told the bartender I wanted something sweet & non-carbonated. He hooked me up with a great drink. After everyone had a drink in hand, we headed to the outdoor patio area. It was just a tad cold that evening but the heated lamps in the outdoor patio area made it very comfortable. The ladies' restroom at Twilite was quite impressive. It had all the toiletries without an attendant and extremely clean for a bar. Upon closing my tab, I was shocked at how inexpensive the drinks were. I will definitely return to Twilite! read more

Wah Wahhhhhh Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! They USED to have a megatouch machine, but they got rid of it about a month into being open due to lack of use. Sadness!! Their happy hour is still great though, and they've added two new frozen drinks - an irish coffee, and a french 75. They will run you $6 each though, so watch out for that. Wells are $3 from 4-8pm. read more

Simply my favorite bar in Deep Ellum for all the best reasons: - Always can count on great live/local music, usually in the Americana/blues/rock direction. - No overwhelming list of beers or craft cocktails-- just a solid selection and bartenders you can trust. - Vintage Deep Ellum space with that raw feel. The booths are comfortable booths and the back patio is larger than you might expect. - Manages to be cool but not pretentious. Not theme-y or overly concepted. A place you can fall into whether you're on a date or with a group of buddies. One significant complaint though (no one's perfect). The 1-in-1-out bathroom is a serious struggle when it's busy. Otherwise, keep doing what you do Twilight and chase that money, ok? ;) read more

Cool spot in the Deep Ellum district for a few drinks. 4.5 stars. Highlights: - Ambiance: red leather couches, chandelier, and study in the back. LOVED the decor. Also had a patio out back - Service: nice, helpful, chill bartender - Drinks: interesting menu on the chalkboard - Music: jukebox which is always fun Lowlights: - Moscow Mule was just ok and no copper mugs which are so standard these days Liked stopping here a lot. It was mellow in the afternoon and would return to check it out at night. read more

I've been here twice, and I absolutely love this place. Andrew may be the best bartender I've ever met. Both times I've been, I've gone for the music, however his skill behind the bar is equally entertaining. The bar has one of the best patios in Dallas. One night it was empty, aside from Danny and a couple others. The other night it was packed full of people watching American Horror Story. While bizarre, it definitely led to en eclectic mix of people. Another huge bonus, is while the bar itself is small, they actually spent money on the sound system. read more

I was beginning to lose hope wandering around Deep Ellum that I would ever want to come back to the area. Then I wandered in here. Funky atmosphere. Good and attentive bartenders. Seems out of place for a city like Dallas. Happy hour from 4-8 daily. The bartender Andrew is definitely memorable and how nice to have a bartender actually ask if you like your drink and make suggestions. Cocktail menu didn't have alot of diversity but I know he'll whip you up something great if asked Jukebox in the corner played some oldies but goodies at a level low enough that you can have a conversation. I hear they have live music some nights. Casual and friendly clientale. Expect folks to bring you into their conversation if you're sitting at the bar. I didn't check out the patio because it is winter but there were lots of folks out there smoking. Very nice job in the CLEAN ladies room with all the goodies without the annoying attendant waiting for a tip. Figures I find this spot on one of my last days here. Go enjoy it for me a time or 2. read more

While on a bar crawl I stopped in here. The first bartender was easily (understandably) overwhelmed but was irritable and rude. We were ready to tab out and leave. Then Andrew showed up. This dude is awesome. Very chill and personable, great energy, great at his job. He shared some of the chicken salad his wife made for him because we said we were hungry. He brought out snacks, let us sample some of the signature drinks. Totally made up for the 1st awful experience. read more

This bar is located in a pretty busy area, but the bar wasn't too busy. It had a moderate number of people and I was able to get a drink quickly. Drinks are very well priced, and tasty too! Paloma for $7? Not bad. The atmosphere is kind of like a gypsy dive bar. Plenty of hipsters frequent here, based on my visit. My friends and I sat towards the back where there are some lounge chairs. It was VERY DARK. There is also an outside patio towards the back but it was very crowded, so we didn't get to check it out. Our primary reason for this visit was to see some live music, but the performer was scheduled to go at 10 PM. We felt like that was way too late, and there were no opening acts. Not sure if this is a regular thing, but maybe it's to cater the younger crowd? I don't know about y'all but if a concert starts at 10 PM I'm not coming. Overall, this wasn't a bad spot to check out in Deep Ellum. I wouldn't mind coming here again for a drink. read more
