Delilah Dallas has officially opened its doors, marking the Texas debut of The h.wood Group’s famed supper club and the brand’s fourth location worldwide. Now welcoming reservations ahead of its public opening on February 3, the Dallas outpost brings Delilah’s signature blend of old-Hollywood glamour and late-night energy to the city’s Design District, introducing a scale and ambition unlike anything the brand has done before.
Spanning 15,000 square feet, Delilah Dallas is the largest iteration of the concept to date. A lively entry bar sets the tone, while three private dining rooms, a dedicated wine room with sommelier service, and multiple performance platforms create a flexible layout that still preserves the intimacy Delilah is known for. The venue also debuts several brand firsts, including the largest main stage across all Delilah locations and an outdoor front porch designed for cocktails beneath the district’s historic oak trees.
Design-wise, the space stays rooted in Delilah’s 1920s–40s supper club DNA, layering burlwood finishes, pink velvet banquettes, low lighting, and shimmering chandeliers throughout. New Dallas-specific touches push the aesthetic further, including Blue Explosion marble at the bars and a collection of caricatures spotlighting notable Texas figures such as Erykah Badu, Post Malone, Selena Gomez, Kelly Clarkson, Clayton Kershaw, and Dirk Nowitzki.
Art advisor Temple Shipley, a Dallas native with experience spanning the Dallas Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Paris-based galleries, curated a visual program inspired by Art Deco’s Machine Age influence, blending vintage imagery of historic Dallas supper clubs with streamlined, modern forms.
Entertainment is central to the experience. A full live band, dancers, and multiple performance stages anchor the room, while member lockers—available starting at $2,500 annually—cater to Delilah’s discreet, loyal following. True to form, the venue maintains its strict “no photos” policy, reinforcing its reputation as a place where the night stays in the room.
The menu, led by Chef Scott Ruwart, delivers refined American fare with a clear Texas influence alongside Delilah staples like the brand’s famous chicken tenders and Kendall’s Slutty Brownie. Highlights include Hamachi Crudo with grapefruit-fresno snow, thick-cut bacon with spicy BBQ, a bone-in Texas redfish presented tableside, truffled grilled cheese with tomato fondue, and a reimagined Texas Sheet Cake finished with chocolate buttercream and gold leaf. Premium beef takes center stage as well, from a 10-ounce bavette to a 40-ounce Texas Akaushi Wagyu tomahawk and A5 Japanese Wagyu grilled tableside on hot rock.
Cocktails lean theatrical and Dallas-exclusive, with signatures like The Lone Star, Perfume & Petals, and The Dirty Designer joining a polished late-night bar program built for lingering well past midnight.
Located at 1616 Hi Line Drive in the heart of the Design District, Delilah Dallas adds a new layer to the city’s nightlife landscape—pairing timeless glamour with the scale, confidence, and energy that define modern Dallas.
