Fantastic upscale club

by tigerusmc at Citysearch

I wasn't sure what to expect reading the reviews, but it was definitely a pleasant surprise. I drove up and used their valet service. Parking around the area is not easy to find, so the $5 valet charge was an inexpensive and convenient service. When you walk into the building, you walk into the lobby and wait for the elevator where the tasteful music and decor really builds your anticipation. When you get off of the elevator, you are greeted by the hostesses, no cover charge, and go to the bar. I got there about 9:50 on a Saturday night, where they had a singles event. I was afraid that it wouldn't have many people in there that early, but there was a fair amount of people, and as some of the other reviews said, there were more women than men, who weren't afraid to mingle! The DJ did some interesting mixes and mash-ups, and the dance floor was full. Everyone was friendly, seemed like a more professional crowd, and there was a nice variety of attractive people; people came there to impress, and were dressed as such. The bathrooms were clean and easy to get to, and no attendant, which is a plus for me; I always feel guilty for not leaving a tip when I wash my hands. The only drawback is that a good half of the club is private/VIP booths, which seemed a little excessive. I think if they reduce the number of these private booths/tables, would cut down on the congestion around the bar area and dance floor. I know a couple of ladies I was talking to, wanted to sit down for a minute, but all the tables were reserved and empty. The crowd seemed to be mid-20's to mid-30's professional, which is what I am, and what I was looking for. The drinks are average priced for a bar/club on Saturday night; $8-12 for a house vodka and tonic is what I peg as average, and theirs is $8. Was $10 for Grey Goose. Overall, excellent atmosphere and experience and I will be going back again soon!

• Pros: Atmosphere, plenty of singles, mid-20's to mid-30's
• Cons: Too many reserved booths/tables, crowded around the bar area

Wow!! My favorite Club!

by cole18 at Citysearch

Several of friends had been talking about lift so I finally decided to go.....VERY VERY glad i did. This place is beautiful! The crowd was such a nice change as it wasn't your typical "Dallas" club crowd. It was down to earth and everyone seemed set on having a great time instead of showing off their ego. Bar staff was awesome, DJ was amazing. My girl got a different drink based on the bars recommendation every time and loved them all. My drinks were strong and although it was very busy we never waited. If you haven't been yet then your missing out!

• Pros: Beautiful place/Great Staff
• Cons: None

Don't miss out on a fun night out!

by abhatt714 at Citysearch

This is the place to go if you're looking for a fun night out of drinking and dancing to hip hop. I've never had a bad experience taking my friends from out of town here for a great clubbing experience in Dallas. If you're up for a fun night with fun people check out LIFT!

• Pros: Great DJs, Great bartenders, Doormen are classy
• Cons: Too many good looking people lol!!!

Great experience; Doorman very unprofessional

by JohnHank at Citysearch

Doorman CLEARLY rude, possibly mentally challenged, I could go on and on about how dumb this guy was. However, in a nut shell, this doorman NEEDS to be fired! Please hire a doorman with at LEAST a high school education who can read ID's and one who doesn't cuss at customers unprovoked. If you have to talk to this guy, you have to talk VERY slowly. Doorman is a complete idiot and moron. However, once inside GREAT atmosphere...DJ Santiago ROCKS!

• Pros: Great atmosphere inside
• Cons: Doorman--unprofessional

Moron Doorman

by fuckliftbouncer at Citysearch

I went down to the lift this past weekend with my friends who had been there before and they were praising this place. We were greeted by this huge guy with tiny brain who just asked us if we had a table reservation and that they were not accepting anybody without reservation that night. Which I would say is totally BS. Night club on saturday night!! Doorman if you'd just say "you can't get in coz I'm a raci**", then I'd understand. Moron!

• Pros: None
• Cons: Doorman

Clublife dying in Dallas...

by jwittt1284 at Citysearch

So everyone knows the terrible economy is hard on everyone. The club scene has certainly been affected, even in Dallas which is supposed to be in better shape than most other cities. Everywhere i have gone recently, the vibe is not there.....tables are empty...people drink at home and arrive late to the club - most of my friends perfer bars over clubs now because of the cost...However, I recently revisited Lift and my woes are cured! A.)$5 valet (compared to $10 or $12 usually) (B.) No cover! (C)$5 drinks before 11:00, and (D.) Half priced bottle service - are you kidding me?!! Finally a club that figured it out...and everyone else figured it our too...it was packed and my friends say its always like that. My only advice is to arrive early unless you thoroughly enjoy waiting in line!

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Cant get in if you arrive too late

Lift

Great Place!

Pleasantly suprised

by highroll1 at Citysearch

I hadn't been to LIFT in quite a while, and I was quite impressed with all the changes. The bartender confirmed my suspicions that they have recently moved around some furniture and added a few club lights to the place. It seems that more open space has been created and, because of it, it was easier to get to and from the bar than last time. The party was not confined to the VIP area - by 12:30 the whole place was jumppin and the DJ brought a ton of energy. It seems that while most of the clubs in Dallas have been sparse whenever I have gone looking for a party; the party has been at Lift all along. I'm definitely getting a table on my birthday - 1/2 price bottles - hell yeah!
