Located on the ninth floor of the Tru by Hilton Dallas Market Center, at 1949 Stemmons Freeway, this new establishment aims to provide an inviting space for both hotel guests and Dallas locals.
Monkey Bar on 9 is a spinoff of the original Monkey Bar, found on the second floor of the Mi Cocina restaurant in Highland Park Village. The original location, which started as a speakeasy for frequent customers of Mi Cocina, has gained a reputation as a popular hangout spot over the years. The rooftop site at Monkey Bar on 9 previously housed another bar, Sky Blu, before its transformation into the new rooftop venue.
The design of Monkey Bar on 9 will feature a spacious outdoor patio, complemented by an indoor bar that boasts stunning views of the downtown Dallas skyline. This will allow patrons to enjoy a vibrant atmosphere and scenic landscapes while they unwind. The establishment’s menu will closely mirror that of the Highland Park Monkey Bar, featuring an extensive selection of tequilas, mezcals, margaritas, and cocktails crafted from cold-pressed juices.
Drink enthusiasts can look forward to signature offerings such as the Clase Azul, a flavorful jalapeño honey margarita, and the refreshing Monkey Bar Mambo Taxi. On the food front, the menu will offer a variety of shareable items including queso, guacamole, and nachos, catering to various tastes and preferences.
Opening hours for Monkey Bar on 9 will be daily from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday through Sunday. It is important to note that the venue will be exclusive to individuals aged 21 and older.
The new rooftop bar is being developed by the M Crowd Restaurant Group, which is also known for operating other popular dining locations such as Mi Cocina, The Mercury, and Vaqueros Texas Bar-B-Q. The CEO of M Crowd emphasizes that Monkey Bar on 9 is designed to offer a relaxing environment where guests can enjoy remarkable views of the Dallas skyline while savoring their drinks and food.
This opening adds to the growing list of vibrant nightlife options in Dallas, positioning Monkey Bar on 9 as a key destination for those looking to socialize, celebrate, or simply enjoy happy hours with friends. With its prime location, impressive menu, and stunning panoramic views, Monkey Bar on 9 is poised to make a significant mark on the Dallas bar scene this summer.
