Where is the Best Lounge in Dallas, Texas?
Been to a lot of clubs/lounges throughout the country, I have seen snazzier, bigger places, but the atmosphere at candleroom is awesome. Not because of the place , but because of the people. (This is why a place stays in business over 1.5 years) The door guy Ali, is polite and courteous, not a muscle bound power hungary maniac. he is pretty fair in letting people on a first come basis regrdless of race or gender (unlike some places i know), sure the members get VIP service , but thats business, if you do not understand that, stay home and continue to watch reruns of “Freinds” Tommy D and Sean run a great place with a friendly staff. The only drawback is that i think it way too crowded on Saturday night, I say hold the line to let the folks enjoy themselves inside, or word of advise come early and avoid the lines. Prices are standard, DJ plays a mixture from top 40 , to classics, to songs everyone sings too. Good scene..an occasional celebrity or two on Wednsday/Saturday night. A
We have been hanging out on the patio at Vino for about 2 years. We have come to know the owners and it is like an extension of our own living room. I have had numerous gathering there from birthdays, New Years, anniversaries and just good old girls night. There are numerous regulars who first met over a glass of wine at the bar but now meet to discuss wine and over time have become friends. The staff is great ! Denise the wine expert is awesome, she is well traveled and a certified somlier(sp) she selects the wine and has yet to recommend a wine we did not like. They owners are innovative and have expanded the food menu with Great Cheese and other great nibblesPros + wine and more wine great wineCons – parking– not every one knows they can park at Post Garage
Went on a Saturday in Nov. 09 as the staff was very friendly. Loved the house music as so many other upscale venues including even Suite have resorted to predominantly Top 40s tracks. Great decor, lighting, and interior design but there are way too many “reserved” tables that were unoccupied throughout the night. Had to leave early that night for a prior commitment, but will definitely be back on a more crowded Saturday evening. Pros + Great overall atmosphere with solid tracks on Sat nightCons – Too many unoccupied “reserved” tables, heard Fridays were primarily top 40s
