   Horrible customer service by the light skinned black chubby woman host on 4/5 @ 10:30pm. Missed Grace period by 2 minutes , instead of the female host going down to check if the table was still available, she shut us down and was absolutely rude about it . Someone in my party went down to check , and tables were still available. No one had taken it, it was free. After calling her out on it , she gave us the table . Her manager , Caucasian chubby guy with the hat wasn’t as accommodating as well. We left and went to Bowen House where we had no reservation, the customer service was night and Day! My group and i received the most excellent customer service at Bowen House. Skip Midnight Rambler and go somewhere where you’ll be treated with respect .

   Was looking forward to checking this place out. It’s not a speakeasy. It’s a bar in the Jule hotel. It’s small. Limited bar. I don’t get the hype. Won’t be back. Had one drink and went elsewhere.

   Midnight Rambler was a lot of fun. We made a reservation well in advance -- probably unnecessary, since there were only a few other parties while we were there -- but being greeted by name upon arrival added a nice touch that made us feel like VIPs. I was particularly excited to try their "10th Anniversary - Greatest Hits" menu, which I'd seen online and loved the concept of -- a vintage vinyl slip cover showcasing a decade's worth of their best cocktails. Instead, we were given the "Drinkin' Through Texas" menu, highlighting local spirits from various regions of the state. It was fine, but definitely not as exciting as a curated 'best-of' experience from the past ten years. The biggest issue? Their website still advertises the anniversary menu, which led to some misplaced expectations. Then there was the smell. A friend explained that it's the unavoidable aroma of old hotels, but in this case, the basement-level bar had a thick, heavy scent that leaned toward sewage. While I appreciate history and vintage charm, it was tough to fully enjoy my drinks while steeped in that atmosphere. That said, the cocktails were excellent. Four of us ordered the "South By Something" -- partly for the clever nod to the iconic SXSW festival, but mostly for its intriguing mix of fresh watermelon, chili-infused vodka, and smoky mezcal. We all loved it and agreed we'd come back just for that drink. I also tried the "Filthy 2.0," their twist on a dirty martini, which was solid. Service was on the slower side, but the moody ambiance worked well for catching up with out-of-town friends before our show at Echo Lounge. Overall, Midnight Rambler has potential -- great cocktails, an interesting concept, and a cool underground setting. But if they updated their website, refreshed the air, and tightened up service a bit, it could be a truly outstanding spot.

   AMAZING PLACE!!! The atmosphere was super cool, the food was delicious and the cocktails were out of this world! But I have to say the DJ, Sterling, made the evening unforgettable!!!

   I’ve long said this is the best bar in the metroplex and every time I go back it’s proven to me again. The setting, the service, the drinks - everything is excellent.

   Midnight Rambler is a great place for inventive cocktails in a classy throwback ambiance. I wasn't overwhelmingly pleased with the food, especially for the price, but if you're in downtown Dallas, this is the place to stop for upscale drinks.

   Service was great but at the end of the night I was overcharged. I recommend paying for your drinks immediately instead of keeping a tab open. There was def an odd smell as well to the hotel and bar but the ambience and awesome DJ’s made up for that.

   My go-to spot when in Dallas. Great service and drinks. DJs have different styles but always good. There's no dancefloor but we make room and get down a little :)

    The bar was empty for a Friday late afternoon. Thought it would be more lively… pizza was good, wine selection was poor. But they do offer lots of cocktails.
