Fantastic happy hour with lots of food and drink options!! My friends and I stopped by Clifton Club for their legendary happy hour, and it did not disappoint! Loved the trendy ambiance and service was great! We all got French 75s, which were very refreshing and strong! Highly recommend! For snacks, we got the Mozzarella Sticks, Brussel Sprouts, and signature Happy Meal. The Brussels were packed with flavor, the mozz sticks were sooo cheesy, and the fries for the happy meal were perfectly thin and crunchy! Can't wait to come back! read more

Stopped by for happy hour on a Friday just before 5 and the regulars were already rolling in. No parking, but they offer complimentary valet, which helps. The vibe is moody, and chic with a few different spaces--bar seating, velvet booths, and even a back room with a disco ball. Very casual, low-key neighborhood energy. The staff was welcoming, quick, and easy to chat with. I came for the "adult happy meal"--smashburger slider, fries, a drink, and yes...a real cigarette(!!) The burger was spot on, and my dirty martini did not come to play. A time was definitely had. I'll be back. read more

Came for happy hour with a friend and they offer a variety of drinks/foods to choose from - we came on a Thursday which happens to be a "Girls and Gays" night offering $10 cocktails! Upon arrival, they offer valet and it's convenient due to parking not being readily available. We had great customer service throughout our time there and our waiter was attentive! We ordered various items - brussel sprouts, flatbread pizza, fries, popcorn chicken, and smashburgers. I enjoyed all of the food items but the brussel sprouts stood out! Their drinks were ok as a couple came out too sour. This looks like a nice lounge spot to hang with friends after work! read more

We came for a happy hour on Thursday! And they also have special 10$ drinks for gals and gays on Thursday. They do offer valet parking and that's great! The service is good and the food is not bad! Good quality for the money. I do have to give them 4 stars as the place look worn off, there is dust on the artificial plants and some cracks in the leather seating which ruins the aesthetic but does look as the place is busy and loved on. read more

Cute cocktail lounge, but okay drinks. My favorite part was actually the mozzarella sticks lol! They have free valet parking which is super nice while in the city. Service was friendly, prompt, and attentive. It wouldn't be my first choice when it comes to cocktail lounges, but it wasn't horrible by any means! read more

Our local favorite cocktail lounge!! Always a must after dinner, they do get busy so make sure to have a reservation if you don't want to wait on the weekends. Staff are always friendly and drinks are potent read more

The Clifton Club is a great cocktail bar in the Fitzhugh/Travis area. Inside, there are two areas: a more classic bar area and a more laid back lounge area. We were in the lounge area and really enjoyed how laid it back was. The interior inside has a really neat retro yet chic aesthetic that fit in well with the idea behind the bar. We went for happy hour and got a french 75 and dark and stormy. Both cocktails were excellent and the ten dollar price was a plus. Many people around us got food (a lot of great options on the happy hour menu) and it all looked incredible. We enjoyed our time here and plan to come back again. It is also right next to Beverleys which makes it a nice pairing for drinks at the Clifton Club then dinner at Beverleys. read more

Absolutely loved this place! We went on a Sunday night for trivia. There isn't much parking around but they do have valet. No set price for valet, just tips. It appears like a small and intimate, dimly lit bar but I believe they have more tables in the back that are somewhat hidden. We were told it would be a 45 minute wait so we stayed and grabbed a drink. I don't think we waited longer than 10 minutes to be sat so that was a nice surprise. We were told by other guests that this was not a usual experience at Clifton on a Sunday but we were also there during a 3 day weekend. We ordered spicy tuna crispy rice, sliders, and Brussels sprouts. Everything was delicious!!! The garlic aioli with the fries was really good and the honorable mention for the Brussels sprouts because the sauce was AMAZNG! Drinks were strong and also very good. The service was amazing and fast, despite them being busy. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back! read more

Any cocktail lounge with a food happy hour is going to make my list of recommendations! The bar is quite small with a few bigger tables but is mostly for more intimate settings like 2-4 people. We came on a Wednesday happy hour reservation for 6PM and got a multitude of drinks and food. Starting with the spicy tuna crispy rice, mozzarella sticks, a French 75 and margarita. From there we ordered the "adult happy meal" and steak frites which on Wednesday all day comes with steak frites & a club martini for $40. While I will always enjoy steak frites as, what's not to love... I was pleasantly surprised by this dish. The peppercorn sauce may be my favorite I've had across Dallas, and the filet was cooked perfectly. Excited to spend another weeknight steak frites here or stop by for more cocktails. read more

In thinking about my experience specifically I have to say it's a 2.5-3/5. However, my friends had a 4-5/5 experience for sure. I came here with several friends that wanted to "go out" for a birthday celebration. I don't like staying up late but my friend made the res for 9:30p because we had dinner first, so that was already working against me (but ofc not the bar's fault). We came on a sat in August and and we were seated in a booth area, which was fine. The place itself however was PACKED, and it was quite loud. I was shouting at my friends to talk to them even though we were in that booth. The waiter came pretty fast and had good recs/got our orders down fast so props for that! However we weren't checked on again; I don't discredit the staff because it was just SO busy in there, but it wasn't the kind of experience I like when having drinks. I got the "midnight tea" which is a lemon/honey/lavender drink which sounded kind of like a bees knees to me, but there was zero lavender flavor, it just tasted like lemon and honey. It was good, just not what Id hoped for since I love floral flavors, and reminded me a bit of a boozy version of a drink I have when I am sick. My friend decided she wanted our group to move to the outdoor patio which was thankfully MUCH quieter than inside so no more yelling, but had several people smoking. On the way from the booth to the patio it was also so packed a very tall/big guy backed up into me and stepped right on my foot - that took a lot of whatever fun I was having down about 10 notches. I also have asthma and have become very sick from cigarette smoke exposure so I ended up sitting inside for intermittent periods whenever someone lit up while my friends were on the patio. I really wish there was a no-smoking patio area :( The bathrooms were clean but there were only two and the lines got quite long. Incidentally because I had to wait inside so many times because of smokers, I ended up Hanging out in the bathroom line area (no seats anywhere else, since it was so packed). My friends stayed at the bar until around 1:30am - and it was still packed when we left. It isn't my vibe at ALL, but my friends had a great time. Wish they had spaces a little more accommodating. One excellent thing: they have a free valet! Props for that too. Overall: the only way I'd come back to Clifton club is for early drinks (like maybe 5:30ish) on a weeknight. My experience on a late Saturday was actually pretty disappointing. But again, this is just me - my friends had a great time and loved their drinks (most of them got espresso martinis and said they were some of the best they've ever had). read more

It was everything I hoped and expected! From the moment I arrived the staff was super friendly and helpful. I loved the ambiance of the place: very chill with a splash of glam. So many good drink options and if you're doing no booze, a great mocktail selection as well. Loved the happy meal concept! It was very cute. Very demure. Very delicious. There was a DJ, but we left before he got started. All-in-all I would highly recommend this place. It honestly is a great spot for a first date, a night out with friends, or a celebration! I need to go back and explore the menu a bit more! read more

Clifton club is super cozy but also spacious. The patio was my favorite, it has super comfy couches and a fireplace which is a nice touch. The valet was prompt. The service was solid, and the drinks were good too. The music was just fine, it leaned more toward house, which I personally didn't enjoy but if that's your vibe you would love it! Overall, it's a cool spot to hang out with friends. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Had the best time ! We went on a Sunday night for trivia at 7pm. It's a small little space and can get crowded (highly recommend making a reservation). We sat at the bar, but we had so much fun. We ordered mozzarella sticks to share and it came with spicy ranch and spicy marinara sauce, so good! For our entrees, I ordered the spicy tuna fried rice, it was very tasty and fresh. My friend ordered the steak frites with fries and they both were booked to perfection. The fries have a good crispy and seasoning to them. They are a little pricy but overall I feel like they are both the cost and the vibes of the space is nice! Will definitely be returning again ! read more

This place is so vibey and moody, I loved how intimate it felt! I tried the VT pepper smash and it was just okay. A little tart for my liking. I want to come back to try the food bc it looked delicious but we came for pre dinner drinks. I thoroughly enjoyed the service. They have valet! Minus .5 of a star because I would love if they had a few mocktail options listed! read more

Clifton club has an exclusive atmosphere and an inclusive staff. With amenities like valet parking and nearby nightlife, you never need to worry about being safe. Whether this is your first stop or last, the staff is incredible and the vibe is vibing. It can be loud here, and if you have LOOP earplugs - wear them. Save yourself from the ringing. Thursday nights are super fun with live music, drink specials, and celebrations for girls/gays/theys (LGBTQ+ friendly). Give Clifton Club another visit. Whether you've been or not, I'd recommend the food, the drinks, and the seated space. You won't be disappointed. read more

Went here last week for a happy hour/ girls night out/ friends bday and it was great!! First of all, I love that the happy hour ends so late so I can get there after work and still have plenty of time to hang out. We got there around 5:15 and it was not super busy inside thankfully. The bar area also seemed Iike a great place to meet a friend / a first date! The inside is beautiful and has such a great ambiance. The happy hour deals are great, low priced drinks and yummy tasting food!!! The espresso martini packed a punch and was really good. The three of us split the sliders and could NOT stop talking about how good they were. One was perfect for each of us. Our service was great and all around we had a great time. Highly recommend checking this place out for happy hour! read more

Great neighborhood spot! Great tasting drinks and bar food. The smashburger sliders are great.

The Vibes, cocktails, service, food all ON POINT. My expectations weren't super high and I was clearly mistaken. 10/10! Will be back.

Staff was amazing. Food was really good. Drinks were also really really good. We went for a happy hour on Sunday. It was so cute. They had a trivia night. Some of the guests were terribly rude, but overall a good experience with the restaurant and staff. read more

Such a fun speakeasy!! Incredible cocktails & Dj!! Sexy romantic but also very high end clientele!!

We've been wanting to try this bar for a long time and finally made it out tonight only to be very disappointed. It was fairly busy but we found an open spot at the bar. However, we stood there for 10 minutes and we were never even acknowledged. We moved to the end of the bar hoping it'd help but we were still ignored. I actually timed it and we stood there 5 minutes with no service from the bartenders. So, 15 minutes of standing, trying to get a drink to no avail. On top of that, watching others get served that walked up after us. I find this pretty unprofessional and discourteous. We won't be back. read more

New vibe, same space! Like many, I've experienced the home of the Clifton Club Bar & Lounge during an era past. It's wonderful to see what they've done with the space, which serves as an example for other venues that its possible to breathe new life into a space without timely or costly structural changes. A popular destination for locals, and some of the top industry professionals in the area, who enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, and assorted menu. From valet to bartenders, you're welcomed with a smile and professional service. The eclectic ambiance of Clifton Club Bar & Lounge offers several seating areas to enjoy alone. or with friends, including a patio area. The venue closes a little earlier than other businesses in the area, so be sure to check the hours before heading out. Maybe you'll find me enjoying a cocktail at the bar. Xoxo Lorenzo read more

Came here with my friend while I was visiting Dallas. He praised that this was one of his favorite places and wanted to take me there. The atmosphere of the bar is upscale and the outdoor patio area was very beautiful with a Mediterranean feel. We had two old fashioned while catching up before heading out to the gay bars for the night. I really enjoyed my time at this place and would definitely drop by again next time I'm in Dallas. read more

Stopped in for a drink and had a great experience! I ordered a cocktail that came out a bit stronger than I expected. When I mentioned it to the bartender, they were super gracious, remade it exactly how I wanted, and didn't even charge me for the replacement. The atmosphere was relaxed, service was quick, and you could tell they really care about their customers. I'll definitely be back! read more

I feel like this place is trying its damnedest to be a casual neighborhood hangout while unfortunately drowning in Dallas $30k millionaires. This is not a "club" as in "clubbing." People seem confused about that. But if you ignore the sceney crowd and just do your own thing, it's a really fun hangout. The bartender the night we were there was a super cool guy with a great vibe. Here's my favorite thing about Clifton Club: there's a drink on the menu called VT's Pepper Smash. I sort of couldn't believe my eyes. About a decade ago, there was a drink called the Pepper Smash on the menu at Victor Tango's (RIP), and it was my favorite cocktail in the world for a solid few years. Then Victor Tango's closed, and I had to move on, but I've never forgotten that drink. AND SUDDENLY HERE IT IS, REINCARNATED?? I mean, it seemed too crazy a coincidence to be true, but also I couldn't ignore that "VT's" in the name, so I asked the bartender, "Hey, does VT's mean Victor Tango's?" And, well, YES. Yes it does. Apparently the owner of Clifton Club is friends with the owner of Victor Tango's, and he also loved the drink and got it on the menu here. Amazing. Standing there in the glow of the multicolor Christmas lights, being bumped around by scantily clad women and velvet-suited men, it was a real-life Christmas miracle. Go check this place out, BUT remember it's a "club" like a book club, a neighborhood hangout, not a bottle service club. I mean, they had a TV on the RedZone channel on a Saturday evening. Just a floating icon of the RedZone channel, which is only active on NFL Sundays. lol. These guys aren't pretentious, and they don't care about the TV being tuned to a weird channel, and I love it. read more

So impressed, can't wait to return. Martinis were on point with pickled onion garnish, yes please. We got spring rolls and the wagyu burger and both were amazing. Like, really really amazing. Fries were worth writing home about. Super cute spot, the decor is so chic and the vibe is perfect. Our server was so kind. From her getting to her kind eyes and smile. She let us know the kitchen closes at 10p when we got there at 9:45- helpful. It is small but that makes it even more old school, classic kind of feel. Valet only, for a tiny parking lot. Don't love that, but tip only so not awful. read more

Clifton Club is a great stop for happy hour drinks and snacks or an evening, speakeasy vibe. While it has an upscale vibe, we were able to sit after a long walk in semi-casual attire. The bartenders are quick, attentive and great at their craft and the menu has a wide variety of unique cocktails. The appetizers were great and can be substantial if needed. Will definitely be stopping here again! read more

I had never heard of this place, but my friend wanted to go so decided to check it out! I got their tequila hibiscus cocktail, followed by their mezcal one. Both were super refreshing, although I'd say the mezcal one had more citrus flavor so I liked it a little more. We got their smoked fish dip with caviar, as well as their chicken liver & foie mousse. The smoked fish dip was very salty, although the caviar was a nice touch. The mousse was very thick and creamy - it was almost like jam on top of the foie, had a sweet taste and it went really well with the crispy bread slices. I really liked the atmosphere here - it's a cocktail lounge with bar seating as well as booths and a private room in the back. Would definitely come back for drinks! read more

Younger late night crowd enjoys this place. A solid local bar, with good food. Easier to Uber but they do offer valet.

Parking is non-existent (valet), so be prepared or take a Lyft. Gorgeous interior and vibe. It was oddly slow when we went on a Friday. Very chill. I'm told it's usually more exciting so will have to check again. My espresso martini was very chocolaty, if that's your thing. My friends loved their martinis. Will come back again to see if it's busier. read more
