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!

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!)
**I've had 3 birthday parties here if that tells you how much I like it!

3. SKY BLOSSOM
Location: Downtown Dallas
Hours: Open 11am - 9:30pm
STENSINTHECITY TIP?
Go for Happy Hour and grab cocktails - the views are amazing!
It is on the rooftop of Mid City Lofts (if you have trouble finding it)

4. KESSAKU
Location: Downtown Dallas
Hours: Open Tuesday - Sunday from 6pm to Midnight
STENSINTHECITY TIP?
On the 50th floor of The National (above Monarch -- all indoors)
Book early, sometimes reservations are hard to come by!
Order the King Crab Roll... trust me!
MAKE SURE to walk the 360-degree sky deck to see all of Dallas

5. HG SPLY CO.
Location: Greenville Ave.
Open Weekdays 4pm - 2am
Open Weekends 11am - 2am
STENSINTHECITY TIP?
They do not take reservations, but there is a lot of seating!
There is a special rooftop menu (different than the downstairs)
Partly covered & partly open air
There are fans & heaters + firepits, depending on weather --- in the winter, it gets WARM!
Great skyline view
**This is a great spot for a birthday! You can rent out the entire rooftop or part of it for an event. They let you bring in your own cake and decor.
