Candleroom — Restaurant in Dallas

Sorry Not Sorry - A forgettable night to remember

The recent experience (9/14/17) at Candleroom can be compared to a wick without it's flame. I was invited to the club by one of my new friends to have a good time. I was unaware of Wednesday's being one of their prime nights during the weekday. My initial impression of the club was quite impressive, the people in the crowd seemed energetic and friendly. I sat next to an african american guy, Terrance, very friendly, whom had a birthday the day before and just wanted to chill with a few friends, real casual. I, as did others, bought him a drink. He really made the experience for me. Suddenly a Caucasian lady stumbles up to the bar, seemingly quite inebriated, looking for what appeared to have been just another drink. She turns to the guy, Terrance and says "heeeyyyy..." and he says the same back. The events that occurred afterwards is the reason why I elect to never return to this establishment. The Caucasian lady must have had a jealous, infuriated boyfriend that did not like for talking to another man. Long story short, the Caucasian male ultimately came up and punched t Terrance in the face! Terrance was not hostile or anything. He was completely caught off guard. The way the club handled that situation was grotesque. Instead of security removing the person that actually caused the scene, they removed Terrance instead. Now if they pulled the security footage, they would see that this man has been no threat to anyone. I followed the situation outside just to see that he was dismissed and no one from Candleroom staff, including the Indian manager, bouncer, or even the police later summoned wanted to hear him out. Luckily some of Terrance friends came out to bring him his phone, but his hat was still missing. Honestly I feel there was racism involved which is sad because we are in 2017 and still have to deal with this type of mentality. All in all, Candleroom needs to make that situation right. If him or any of his friends saw this post, they'll agree with me. Hope this helps others looking to attend...

This last Saturday night I was completely blown away by the hospitality and service at Candleroom. Let me back up to about 6 weeks ago. We were in the middle of planning our biggest charity fundraiser and suddenly needed a new place to have the event. Our director reached out to Candleroom and they immediately offered the place for our event. Not only did they offer the place for the event they threw in a couple items we were able to auction off at the event.

Fast forward back to Saturday, things were a little hectic as we walked in to start setting up. Ashley, the coordinator at Candleroom was AWESOME! We were short a few volunteers and she jumped in and started helping. An hour into the event we ran out of plates (I know, I know) and we had rented them from an outside party but the bus boys jumped in and washed the plates we had so we could reuse them. The caterer had left and again with there only being limited volunteers who showed up the bus boy also helped out with keeping the food out and hot. Ashley was even running back and forth putting out desserts. I literally felt like they were all an extended part of our team that night.

The bartenders made all of our guest feel really special, so much so they were making special drinks for our drinkers and non-drinkers alike. Making our non-drinkers feel just as special with a pretty drink in hand. The communication on the open bar and once we hit our limit was easy. They kept open communication the entire time and there were absolutely no surprises.

Don't want to leave out that they even through valet parking in with the event space. It was so nice that our guests didn't have to worry about parking.

If you are looking for an event space in Dallas, you have found it. The decor is chic and upscale and the staff is outstanding.

And of course, Candleroom is still the place to go onWednesday night to be seen and dance your...

This was for a Birthday. We got info from a club promoter. Who told us if we did a party on a Friday we could get two tables and only have to buy one bottle (usually have to buy a bottle per table) so we booked and decided to do two bottles and we're told we'd get 3 tables. When we got there the bouncer argued with us we only got two tables. Then they tried to charge the ppl from our party $15 and said girls were free after 30 mins or so they charged all our other ppl $15 guys and girls. The manager or main guy seating everyone was very rude. After a while he came over to our second table and told us to get up and move. We did thinking he was looking for something since he had a flashlight. Then he sat other ppl at that table. He told us he sold that table. I tried to talk him that was part of our two tables and again he was rude. After we bought two bottles we should have atleast had two tables even though that's not what we were originally told. Also he kept saying he didn't even know who that promoter was and she was there. Like I said he was very rude. The ppl running the place we're awful. It did have good music and the pic thing in the hall was cool but just...
