🍸 Delilah Dallas – Supper Club & Lounge (Design District)

Dallas just added a new late-night heavyweight to the Design District. Delilah quietly opened its doors with a supper-club vibe that leans old-Hollywood — think dim lighting, live performers, polished cocktails, and a dressed-up crowd that actually came to be seen. It’s the kind of place you save for date nights, celebrations, or when friends are in town and you want to show off Dallas at its most glamorous.
