Gilley's Dallas

Such a great time!! Conference attendees came here for our final event!!

It was a cowboy honky tonk!! OMGOSHHH! The tapas plates, hella drinks, the sketch artist, the music, the duleing pianos, the people who were walking around and stayed in character the Entire time! It was such an amazing and beautiful experience and time here!

I even got "branded" lol. There was a branding station for initials and names into leather cup holders and key holders. There is also a mechnical bull outfront. The bull took me out twice lol

Someone invite me back for a wedding or something cuz I loved this place! lol

Lovely venue, spacious, clean restrooms and great lighting.  I attended the annual Slay magazine fashion show. Doors opened at 4:30p.m. which they continued seating guest until 6:00p.m. I was under the impression the show began at 4:30p.m. due to the ticket stating show times 4:30pm-8:30pm. It would have been nice if the ticket read Doors opening at 4:30p.m. show beginning at 6:00p.m. That way guest weren't sitting for an hour and a half before the show started.
Plenty of designers, beautiful models & host talented makeup artist & hairstylist. I enjoyed the show minus the door being opened all night.  It was colder than the north pole in the venue.  Lol

Gilly's is pretty good venue that features multiple large spaces for different activities and concerts to take place at the same time. The parking lot behind the venue is large and seems to cost $10 on average to park. I have been to Gilly's a few times for a different events including Art Beats and Lyrics, Afro Soca Love, and Civilized Fest. The space is perfect for live music and vendor events. The outdoor lot at the entrance of the venue is also good for outdoor activities, i.e. food trucks to gather for events as well. The sound system is pretty good and when there are multiple functions happening there simultaneously, you don't hear music/sound from the neighboring events which is nice.

My only complaint is that there are multiple entrances here so it is easy to go to the wrong entrance when there's no signage or someone directing traffic to the correct entrance. That may be on the part of the promoter and not the venue, but it has been an issue every time I've come here, and I know I'm not the only one.

We rented this awesome place for a company function and we're able to get the entire top floor rented from 6-9 on a Wed. We were able to have an open bar, live music, line dancing lessons and even a mechanical bull with an operator! My group had so much fun! I would defiantly recommend this place for company functions that you are trying make fun! Great job Gilleys!

Came here for a large MRI Centers gathering and I was so impressed with the size of the venue. This isn't a side of town I get to see a lot and I'm always so blown away with the options over here.

We had a blast here for a private event. The food was amazing and so was the entertainment. You definitely need to stop by here when visiting Dallas.

Yes, I really enjoyed the service today. I prayed on it and as always "GOD" came through for me again. Yes  I Recommend this place to any one at any age by GOD's will I will be attending again. Hope to see you there

The valet service at Gilly's searched my truck and stole my AirPods out of the center console. have tried to get in contact with Gilly's half a dozen time and cannot get a call back.

Arts Beats and Lyrics
Yoooooo! AB&L is back in Dallas.  This is a long standing traveling art show with a beat since 2005. That's so wild to think it been going so long.  I don't always get the opportunity to show up but this year all the stars were aligned.  Located at the Famous Gilley's- Dallas location was the perfect space of model installments of art.  I've helped putting in art pieces so you need to fill in the negative spaces with light and create a mood.  The music bring you right along to the party.  As you enter the building you get the one drink ticket and well wishes to party. Now, it really does pay to get there ON TIME! The Jack Daniels reps are more lax and you get a couple of extras compared to it being packed within the next hour. Of course you can pay for more drinks.  The thing that I did like is the bartenders were generous with pours.  They had several choices to try and the recipes were simple to let the liquor to shine through. I only needed one drink.  The art was amazing.  You had insightful, intriguing, call backs to Hip Hop's past and some futuristic pieces.  I know I didn't see everything because as the time went on the crowd swelled.  The DJ's stayed on point and only asked that you leave your cool at the door, and DANCE!  We did.

I've been to Gilley's a couple of times, as I attended World of Dance which was hosted here in 2018 & 2019. It's a great, spacious venue for events! I honestly feel WOD could have utilized it a lot better.

If I'm not mistaken, this is now home to the new Hillsong Dallas Church location. Cool! Inside and out, seems like a good idea. There is plenty of parking and the right decor can turn this place into whatever you want it to be.

I might go and visit the church since I know how to get there already haha.
