Frequently asked questions about Rattlesnake Bar
Rattlesnake Bar Dallas Reviews
Atmosphere is best at night or, if you’re into it, watching the brunch outfits going into Fearings on the weekends. The bartenders are personable, helpful, funny, and attentive. The margarita is a typical order but I’m a fan of the bergamot boulevard and the mint night express.
I live right around the corner and love coming here on the weekends. The atmosphere is always lively with great live music that really sets the tone for a fun night. Kourtney is my usual waitress and she is truly the best. She always takes care of us and makes the experience even better. Ryan behind the bar is another favorite—he makes fantastic drinks and keeps the energy up. The service is consistently amazing, the vibe is welcoming, and it is always a good time. Rattlesnake Bar has definitely become one of my go-to spots.
Lovely outside seating downstairs at the Ritz. Smoking allowed, live music, and heaters for warmth and the drinks are wonderful.
An absolutely gorgeous space, great people watching with even better cocktails! The bartenders are so lovely and friendly, there is live music on Fridays outside, but the food and drink here is a must every time we’re in Dallas.
This place is very pricey but expected. The drinks are great and they have a wide range of cocktails to chose from. You know how at bars you order drinks thinking they’ll be great and they’re not? Well here they are great as you’d expect very impressed! Got very crowded on a Friday at 6 no more open seating standing only. They also have an outside section but not sure if that’s for the restaurant. Espresso martinis are delicious!
I’m obsessed with the Rattlesnake Bar. Noel and Ryan are the best at making incredible drinks! This is the place to be, the food is delicious, the ambiance is the best and they also have live music after 10pm! Thank you so much, can’t wait to be back!
Wonderful staff, great drinks, plenty of Vegan options, and everyone is safely distanced. I also appreciate the non-alcoholic cocktails. Thanks Rattlesnake Bar. I'll be back.
Rattlesnake Bar has an amazing espresso martini, solid 9/10. Highly recommend getting there early or you will be waiting a while to order drinks.

This has become one of my favorite happy hour spots to grab a few drinks and apps. Everything on the food menu has been great every time I go. The drinks that I have ordered, and have enjoyed all of them, are an Old Fashioned, Aperol Spritz, and their Espresso Martini. I have never had a bad experience here, and will continue to visit. I do recommend coming early or making reservations as it does get busy. When the weather is nice, I also enjoy sitting outside on their patio and enjoying the live music when available.
Top notch. Classy. Cocktails. Great Food. Need I say more? I come here after a hard day of dealing with business and I am instantly revived and stress-free.
Amazing place, right in the heart of Dallas. Great food and service. We will be back.
I took a group of 10 here for cocktails on the fly after a business meeting and we had a lovely experience! Of course, be prepared for the fact that it’s in the Ritz Carlton—I felt a little out of place and probably would have dressed up a bit more if I had planned it. But I didn’t sweat it—it’s fun just to be around a little glamour, especially if you want to create a unique and impressive experience for clients/associates 😉 My only constructive comment for the mixologists would be to make the mocktails less sweet—I was hoping for something light and refreshing and found mine to be too syrupy. Overall, the service was great and my guests were happy. The atmosphere allowed people to relax and chat in a fun, swanky environment after a long day of conferencing.
My friends and I love Rattlesnake. They always have great drinks and it’s a convenient spot, but what really has kept us coming back for years are the consistently great people. Emma is an exceptional server who handles large parties beautifully. Ryan is an exceptional bartender; we are always excited to be there when he’s behind the bar. The bar manager Daniel is attentive, friendly, and helpful. What’s unique about Rattlesnake is that it’s great for a casual drink while also being a perfect option for larger groups and events - highly recommend you consider them!
Rattlesnake Bar - A Hidden Gem in Dallas! I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Rattlesnake Bar at The Ritz, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The ambiance is sophisticated yet inviting, making it the perfect spot for a night out or a casual drink after a long day. The cocktail menu is impressive, featuring a creative selection of drinks that cater to all tastes. I tried the signature Rattlesnake cocktail, and it was a delightful blend of flavors that left me wanting more. The bartenders are not only skilled but also incredibly friendly, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere. The bar also offers a selection of small bites that perfectly complement the drinks. I highly recommend trying the charcuterie board – it was beautifully presented and delicious! Whether you're looking for a cozy place to unwind or a lively spot to kick off your evening, Rattlesnake Bar is a must-visit. I can't wait to return and explore more of their offerings!
Jeff is an unbelievable bartender and server. We looked forward to chatting with him on our trip and he made us feel right at home. Cultivated a great environment for all guests and patrons

That is just another fancy hub but cocktails are good for the price. But for a place that rank they better take care of utensils :)

Nice spot for cocktails and conversation. It's a sophisticated and elegant crowd. Definitely pricey because it's located inside the Ritz Carlton. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Talk about paying for the name of the place and not the food! The lobster nachos were a bland mix of lobster meat covered in a blob of cheese. Best part of it was the roasted salsa. The “Old” Voice was a bit too sweet for my taste but not a bad drink. Nick behind the bar was amazing!

Nice atmosphere, drinks were goood, but not $27 per cocktail good. They are not using Pappy, they are not double pours, it's just silly. Good quality but terrible value. Will not go back.
