HG Sply Co.

Copy Link

Rooftop restaurants around the Metroplex are often outlets for (expensive) fine dining and getting all dressed up. Not HG Sply — it’s here to prove that you can get a great view of the Dallas skyline along with a great (mid-range priced) drink with nachos and still wear your comfortable clothes.

Te Deseo

The expansive patio at Te Deseo in the Harwood District offers unmatched city views. We suggest beginning the night with a margarita before venturing into the colorful but dimly lit restaurant for a creative Mexican meal.

Tired of views of the skyline? Margaret’s in the Arts District makes it feel like being inside the skyline. It’s tough to capture the views here on camera, and they’re frankly too mesmerizing to remember to grab a shot of. Head to this steakhouse for an excellent dinner, and it also serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch.

Ático Fort Worth

Sunsets from the patio at Atico in Fort Worth are as big of a draw as the live music performances and tapas. Enjoy a glass of sangria with a view, and if you don’t happen to snag a spot on the patio, don’t worry — the massive greenhouse-style interior is also pretty easy on the eyes.

Terry Black's Barbecue

Sky Blossom

This hidden rooftop is tough to find but worth the effort for that picture-perfect cocktail shot. Look up, and you’ll see downtown Dallas buildings. Look down, and you’ll see the Eyeball, an iconic sculpture in the middle of downtown. Sweet, colorful cocktails are a significant draw and pair well with the restaurant’s Asian fusion fare.
