If you're like me, you cannot get enough of the skyline. Here are my favorite spots in Dallas to hang 'under the neon lights'... the Dallas Skyline, that is!


Want to see more fun recommendations around Dallas, follow me on Instagram and Tiktok!

 

1. RH ROOFTOP

  • Location: Knox/Henderson

  • Hours: Open Daily from 10am - 9pm


STENSINTHECITY TIP?

  • If you just want beer/wine or a coffee, no reservation needed

  • Grab a drink at the coffee + wine bar on the 3rd floor and take it outside on the patio (it's first come, first serve)

  • If you do this, please note that you cannot order food

  • Food can only be ordered if you make a reservation online

 


2. HAPPIEST HOUR

  • Location: Harwood District

  • Open Weekdays 4pm - 2am

  • Open Weekends 11am - 2am


STENSINTHECITY TIP?

  • They do not take reservations, but there is a lot of seating!

  • You can only order drinks on the rooftop, food is downstairs only (and it is GOOD!)
