We sat outside and enjoyed an amazing sunset! After about an hour, the place got PACKED and service definitely declined, which is understandable. It wasn't amazing to begin with, but that's okay. While overpriced, the food and drinks are good. Overall, not a bad spot to hangout when the weather is nice.

OK spot on top of the Canopy Hilton Hotel. Limited bar. Big bourbon selection, but very little by way of other alcohol. They were out of all but 2 drafts while I was there. Limited wine selection as well. The mark up was also pretty high for wine (the Pinot I got was ~$17 per glass and the bottle retails in the store for $16-17). Bartender was nice. Skip the food. The menu is pretty limited to begin with (all apps), but nothing is really standout. Last time I went in there, it was for an after dinner drink and I got the affogato dessert. Espresso shot was definitely Nespresso from one of the hotel rooms. The candied pecans on top could crack a tooth

I met a friend for late night drink/snack to catch up and visit. What a nice relaxing place! Nice comfortable seating, view of downtown, just so nice! Waitress attentive and no hovering:) the drinks were refreshing and good. We ordered the Charcuterie Board and Tandoori Chicken bites Nice place to unwind after a long day

Perfect evening and great views of downtown Dallas

Best views of the city and great service. We shared several of the small plates and had cocktails and beers on the rooftop terrace. Great ambience and wonderful sunset and city lights views. Food was good and our drinks were very good. Our server was fantastic! Definitely a great place for catching up with friends when Uptown.

So there's the thing, if you go here, you're going for the view. You're not going for the food or drinks. They will be subpar for high caliber prices. The service is typically slow & it's common for them to be out of certain wines & beers. But this place easily has one of the best views of the Dallas skyline. It usually isn't crowded & is perfect to upgrade your instagram. In conclusion, this place is great for a casual, aesthetic drink before or after dinner.

Espresso martini

Great place great bartenders that will make you anything that you would like, a great place for relaxation a great place to be inside or outside enjoying the city and you can see the surrounding areas from the rooftop, great music, just relaxing to yourself

Vibes and views are immaculate! Especially at sunset. I got the Yvonne de carlo, which was a little watery but strong. The other pink drink was tok watery. Flatbread was a nice accompaniment and not too expensive.

Terry D.

View is perfectly amazing at sunset! The ambiance has the the opportunity to be a great spot! Unfortunately, the service is less than you'd expect for a date location or upscale service. Waiting more than 15 minutes for drinks seems off for a bar that wasn't even half full. Do better or change your name to downside.

Favorite rooftop in town. Love the downtown view. Nice place for a drink and a small bite. Everything is open seating so service can be hit or miss but you can always just go to the bar.

Sandra T.

Great and cozy upstairs bar area and patio, staff is very nice, friendly and attentive. Shakina and Stephanie at the bar were delightful and so helpful. ~ Views are spectacular of downtown Dallas. This is a nice spot to have a drink and a appetizer while enjoying the views and a conversation. This place is hard to find in the listings because it is classified as a bar but they have plenty of shareable plates. (This is situated on the 8th floor of the Canopy by Hilton and has a dedicated elevator behind the wall of the hotel desk.) ~ For sure this is a nice spot in the heart of Cityplace!

The Upside of being at Upside in Uptown is the spectacular view of the city! When you walk into the hotel pass the right side of the guest services desk and catch a ride on the elevator to the 8th floor. Once your out of the elevator make a right and you'll be at the bar. Highly recommended going during the weekday right before the sunsets it's beautiful! The service was good. The food was okay, but I wouldn't recommend going just for the food. The cocktails and the view are worth the visit!

Mojito
Mitchell O.

Eli and Oscar were so fun! They make the best cocktails and have great conversation! Eli's mojito was made with fresh limes and mint the flavor blew me away! Would love to come back!

James and his teammate were AWESOME! Prompt, kind & attentive. I was there with two friends on Sunday and they provided the kind of service you wish you got everywhere! Flatbread was good! Thank you for a great afternoon!

"Such a cool spot for sunset drinks. The panoramic views are legit. Drinks are a bit pricey but the vibe makes up for it. Would go back.

Parliament posted their rainy-day happy hour on Instagram the same day I visited, so I was…read moresurprised when the tall bartender with glasses told me the special only applied if it was actively raining at that exact moment. He literally told me, "If a drop of rain comes, then I'll give it to you." It had rained for much of the day, and multiple customers were asking about the same promotion. If the requirement is that rain must physically be falling while you order, that needs to be clearly stated in the advertisement. Otherwise, the promotion feels misleading. I've been to Parliament several times and have never had a bartender interpret the rainy-day happy hour this way. I ended up ordering a smoked Old Fashioned from another bartender I've had before, and it was great. He was friendly, engaging, had great energy, and even did tricks while making the drink. I still enjoyed my cocktail, but it would've been nice to have the option to order from the happy-hour menu as advertised that day. I'm including the Instagram post for reference. I'm very disappointed as I've never not had a good time at Parliament. I really think that the owner should look at the Times stamps around 930 to 10:15pm part night and see the difference of business and traffic flow from when the taller bartender with the glasses versus the shorter Bartender with the glasses was at the front as it was instantly more business. Oh and lastly, I left my Betsy JOHNSON purple umbrella. I'm so sad and they don't have a number to call.

We waited in line like everyone else, remained polite, and followed all instructions given to us. After waiting at the entrance for approximately 15-20 minutes, we respectfully asked the employee working the rope how much longer the wait might be. He explained that a few people needed to leave before anyone else could be admitted, so we thanked him and continued waiting. While we waited, we watched numerous people approach the entrance, greet the employee by saying things like "Hey bro," exchange handshakes, and immediately be allowed inside. At least 15 people were admitted ahead of us after we had already been told to wait. From what we observed, these individuals were not being admitted because they had reserved tables--they were simply allowed to enter. When I asked again why we were still waiting, the employee changed his explanation and stated that we could not be admitted because of the dress code. This was confusing because we had just watched multiple guests enter wearing clothing that appeared to violate the same dress code. When I politely pointed out this inconsistency, he ignored my question. He then gave a completely different reason, telling me that we were being denied entry because of a review I had left over a year ago. I explained that customer reviews--whether positive or negative--are a normal part of operating a business and that my review was an honest account of my experience. It contained no false information or fabricated events. I also pointed out that the establishment has many reviews, so a review from over a year ago should not determine whether a paying customer is allowed to enter. The employee then stated, "You didn't say kind words about me in your review." At that point, it became clear that this decision was personal rather than based on any legitimate policy. As the conversation continued, the employee became increasingly aggressive toward my friends and me. We remained calm and respectful throughout the interaction. We are professionals with established careers and had no intention of creating a disturbance or behaving disrespectfully. The employee then threatened to call the police. I responded that he was welcome to do so because we had done absolutely nothing wrong and were happy to explain the situation. When the officers arrived, both sides were able to explain what had happened. After speaking with everyone, one of the officers informed us that we had done nothing wrong and apologized for the inconvenience and embarrassment we had experienced. Afterward, I asked if I could speak with a manager regarding the situation. The employee refused my request, stating that he was the "door guy" and that he was not going to get a manager because it was his responsibility to handle the situation and he no longer wished to engage with us. This entire experience was humiliating, unprofessional, and extremely disappointing. I was visiting town for work, as I no longer live in the area, and this was not the type of treatment I expected from an establishment where I have previously spent money and have never caused any problems. I am requesting that upper management or the owner contact me directly regarding this incident. Denying entry based on a personal disagreement over an honest customer review, while providing inconsistent explanations and refusing access to management, is unacceptable customer service. I hope this matter will be investigated so that future guests are treated fairly, respectfully, and consistently.

Solid old fashioned, some amazing food and some food that leaves much to be desired. We decided to try out Regine's Lounge after catching a show at the Omni in Dallas. We made a reservation for 2 at 8pm, parked easily (reasonably priced valet), and were seated promptly when we arrived. The space is beautiful and there was live music that added a nice touch, but the energy level was still low with the space being at less than 50% capacity. Upon sitting down, we both noted that we didn't like how far apart we were. We felt the need to lean far forward when talking and it would have been awkward to hold hands when talking (always a nice option if you're on a date and it's going well). My date ended up just sitting on the couch side of the seating next to me which worked well but would have been a little awkward if it was crowded. While not exceptional, the service was solid with the waitress checking back regularly. I ordered an old fashioned to drink and it was solid but nothing to write home about. The online menu doesn't seem to match what's available on the current menu, so I'll do my best describing our order. We ordered the Crispy Rock Shrimp (very good), Wagyu Dumplings (outstanding), and a mushroom and truffle item (I don't know what it was called on the menu and I didn't actually know what it was when it came out; it was mushy and the flavor was not good; we did not finish it). So all in all, I'm glad I tried it because I like new experiences. There is much to like but unfortunately much also left to be desired. I will not be going back for seconds.

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.
