The Crescent Club is one of the old-school mainstays in Dallas housed in the 17th floor of the Rosewood Crescent Hotel’s office tower.  Open only to hotel guests and members, Restaurant Week allows us common folk the chance to experience this dark wood-paneled restaurant that’s reminiscent of your grandparent’s country club.  The bar has a rich feel and amazing views of the city facing the Arts District and Downtown out of its bay windows.

Before a restaurant week dinner, my mom, sister, and I met in the dark bar for a quick drink before our dinner.  I valeted my car and then rode up the 17 floors to the club level, took a right out of the elevator, and walked into the bar with a slight greeting from the gentlemen in the front hall that appeared to be the host.  I found my party and began to take in my surroundings.

The drink menu features 11 cocktails along with wines by the bottle and glass including dessert wines.  Their full bar serves up mostly classic cocktails with slight twists.  I ordered the Grand Pomegranate Cosmopolitan from our waitress; it was slightly tart and not too sweet.  Their pours are generous, so much so that my mother and I only needed one drink before our dinner.

I recommend all Dallasites try to fit in a visit to this gentlemen’s gentlemen’s-type bar to experience the luxury and views.

Quick info: they’ll validate parking, serve snacks (just simple nut mixes, one sweet and one spicy)
