    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Mojito

    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.

That's not where the differences stop as the Archive menu provides more traditional cocktails and a diverse array to choose from, with drinks you may be more familiar with. Alchemy on the other hand offers a more experimental approach to their drink menu, including creative cocktails that seem eclectic and never been tried before, using unusual ingredients or prepared in a unique way, but if you are feeling adventurous, I'd highly recommend trying the latter. Keep in mind, when entering Alchemy, the inside is very dark so if you want to see properly I would recommend sitting outside if it isn't too hot. To start, my friends and I ordered the truffle fries for the table and they were highly ranked in my opinion for best truffle fries in Dallas. They were perfectly crispy and flavored well with the truffle seasoning. For drinks, from the alchemy menu, we ordered the I Dream of Kiwi (my choice), Kaleidoscope Eyes, and Inappropriate Beet Pun. My drink was made up of bamboo tea gin, kiwi coconut water, plum wine, and kiwi boba. I liked the sweetness mixed with tartness and the boba balls added a nice touch. Additionally we ordered the pineapple soft serve margaritas (it was my first time experiencing soft serve margs) and I really enjoyed Apothecary's version. The pineapple flavor was tangy alongside the creaminess of the ice cream. And there was a nice chili salt garnish (similar to tajin) added on top. For food, I ordered the Lil' Thuggies, a hilarious name for a dish that is actually very delicious. It consisted of popcorn chicken nuggets, cooked in sweet tea brine and spiced flour, served with a side of epazote ranch and korean wing sauce respectively. My friends ordered the Japanese elotes and Muhammara (roasted red pepper & walnut spread, greek oil, sea salt, microgreens, grilled baguette). Both very tasty as well, with the elotes having a cream sauce on top. Overall I can't wait to go back to apothecary and maybe try the other side next time.

The food looks impressive, but honestly lacks flavor and depth. It tastes like bar food, which is fine, but not when you expect an elevated gastronomy. Keep food expectations low and you'll be happy!

The hotel property is like four legs under the table - a great location, a great hotel experience, a great restaurant experience, and a entertainment experience (The Mansion Bar). At least one leg has been kicked out, one is suffering. The Mansion Bar used to have a great recipe for success - proven by how busy and regular the customers were and loyal (or was), and the top tier talent that was routine for 10+ years. Me and my friends have a relationship with the long time staff as customers as well as the excellent music talent. The cause? Not precisely sure but I think it's new ownership, at the very least a new Food & Bev manager. I also know the staff is very upset about these changes and the relationships with the repeat music talent is now a mess. I wouldn't be surprise if the staff start leaving. I'm hoping whomever is making these decisions can revert back to what was working. Dallas has a lot of great venues that will fill this void.
