Belmont Hotel

Last weekend, Marissa, Jorge, and I went to the Belmont Hotel Bar for a quiet, relaxing evening and had a few drinks as we enjoyed the skyline. It was really nice!!!! I stole the pic from Yelp below, but this is pretty much what it was like. There was no band playing when we were there, but the view was clear and breathtaking! Dallas has a pretty skyline!



I had an Ice Pick drink. It was Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, lemoncello, and fresh mint. It was very good!!! Strong so I only had one. I had already had dinner, but there were a few things on the appetizer menu that I would have liked to try. Different types of appetizers, fancier than I am use to.... :)


Marissa and I started planning things as we walked around the hotel grounds. There was this really cute courtyard with bungalows around the courtyard. We thought about having a birthday party there and decorate the courtyard with lights, have music and rent out the bungalows for a weekend.


I am a little different than some of my friends and I usually do not dream about the perfect wedding nor do I have everything planned out in my head, but their pool overlooks a huge green yard that is on the edge of the cliff with the view of downtown. I could see having an outdoor wedding there or a reception there. Don't go off stealing my one and only idea though! ;-)


Also, if you want to have a romantic weekend there with your hubby or wifey then rent out a large bungalow and there is a private hot tub overlooking the city.


Who doesn't enjoy being outside and looking at a skyline??? The Dallas skyline just makes it that much better!!!


Since I posted on Facebook that I went I had multiple friends say that they have been wanting to try it out. I completely recommend a Friday night at the Belmont Bar. But there is also a restuarant there that is a smokehouse with BBQ. Have never tried it. There are also musicians there Tuesday and Friday nights!!!


Enjoy!!!
