Meat & Cheese

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.

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 checked in with the host and were quoted a 30-minute wait, which ultimately turned into 45 minutes. That said, once we were seated, the food came out pretty quickly. The Fried Brie is always a 10/10! The blueberry compote pairs beautifully with the brie, and I love that it's served with sliced baguette on the side. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe with added shrimp, while my husband went with the Bowen Cheeseburger. Unfortunately, the shrimp was extremely salty. I love a well-seasoned dish, but there's a difference between flavorful and overly salty. The seasoning completely overpowered the shrimp, so I ended up picking it off and enjoying the pasta on its own. The Bowen Cheeseburger was excellent, as always. Just keep in mind that you can't request it medium-rare since it's a smashburger. For dessert, I ordered a slice of cheesecake, which comes with the same blueberry compote served with the Fried Brie. It was delicious and earned a solid 9/10 from me! Overall, the food was great, as usual. Aside from the overly salty shrimp and the longer-than-quoted wait, we enjoyed our visit. I'd absolutely come back, especially for that Fried Brie!

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.
