Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/18/2010 - Totally Average place with ridiculous attitudeThis place thinks its in Beverly Hills or something! If it were, it would be out of business. If you are a country bumbkin thats never left the state, youmight think its cool. If you have been to LA or New York this place will make you laugh the moment you arrive and pay 20 bucks to valet even though there is no shortage of land for parking-ripoff!

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 1/18/2010 - Glass Cactus is the biggest disappointment & a scamWhen we were closing out our tab (1) my husband did not get his credit card back, (2) we noticed several drinks that were not ours the tab & (3) we were told that the other waitress, Elizabeth, had given the card to a woman wearing a white dress. The things that are wrong with this incident: (1) No one in our group was wearing a white dress,I was wearing a red dress, so why would she give my husb...

Read More On Citysearch swmdfw 7/2/2009 - One of a kindVery unique and impressive place built overlooking Lake Grapevine. The view and the building are the best part. You definitely are helping to pay for the fancy building and the view every time you buy a drink. I would say it is worth checking out and you will quickly ave your own opinion. I am not in love with it but it is a fun place to check out every once in a while to do something differe...
Read More On Citysearch gorangers 3/26/2009 - You have got ot be kidding! This place is a joke, STAY AWAY!!!First impression, parking; of course the hired valets utilize the close by parking for their conveniance... STRIKE ONE. Then the POS "ID Taker"; " we have to check all id's" he grabs our licenses and then scans them into a scanner, uh, EXCUSE ME, privacy!, Why does the GC need our personal information? they DON'T, Strike TWO.Then we walk in as "VIP Guests" (Our party of 6 reserved a table, min $1...
Read More On Citysearch azeee 2/7/2009 - Price Gouging,Tab Padding, Flaky Waitresses
We have been to the Cactus about 10 times over the last year.The atmosphere is really nice & it is really close to home for us. HOWEVER, the PRICE GOUGING is unbelievable! I am really just ticked about the whole flipping thing! Whether we are with a large group, double dating or by ourselves-it happens time & time again. The price of drinks varies from waitress to waitress, bartender to bartender...
Read More On Citysearch Lisas101 9/30/2008 - Beware: PRICE GOUGING!!We have been to the Cactus about 10 times in the last year.We have been in a variety of groups,couples,by ourselves. There has not been one time that we have NOT had a problem with the multitude of prices you get from one bartender/waitress to the next. We even pulled out the menu-which clearly states the price of a bottled beer-our waitress was confused by this. She had charged us $8.00 for ONE ...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 9/30/2008 - Great place for everythingI stayed at the Gaylord for a four day convention. I have to say just driving up to the property was amazing. The landscaping and attention to detail was something like you would see at Sea World or Disney. The entrance, lobby, resturants, courtyard... all were amazing. They really put a lot of time and money into this place and it really shows. Checkin was very easy. I was given a key card to a ...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 6/15/2008 - Ripped off 3 timesI took my wife here for an anniversary drink, to watch the sunset, thinking it would be romantic.
#1 Rip-off. We arrived at 5 PM, the only customers. They were still making the place ready and had to call for a hostess. After waiting several minutes, a young woman came out from somewhere, chewing something. I suppose she was eating??? She told us $11 cover to enter. For what I asked. ...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/30/2008 - AreaI have to say, I always wanted to be famous and get in all the great clubs and ... but tonight, I felt like i was a part of the Hills or Paris Hilton! LOL I know that sounds bad, but i truly had a BLAST!! Drinks were STRONG, there was a James Brown type band that was AMAZING and I was shaking my booty all night long! I'm telling all my friends and I will make this a regular hang out!!
Read More On Citysearch crazy4crazy 1/16/2008 - Hot hot hotThis is an amazing location with restaurants, a Hotel and Spa. If you have never been to Texas this is a must stop. The dining experience here is enormous, Many many flavors, wine bars, and food choices. The nightlife at this bar is an experience you're not likely to find elsewhere. Did I mention the 13,000 square feet of outdoor lake-front patios, 1,200 foot dance floor, unique, signature bars...
Read More On Citysearch calgal4u2 1/13/2008 - take your fake idI wanted to go have a few drinks, listen to a band and enjoy the place. But a 20 year old cousin could not get in to be served with his parents by 19 year old wait staff members. Doesn't make much sense to me. Oh well, another club got our money. Rating....zero!!!
Read More On Citysearch bhall87 1/3/2008 - Best on Friday or SaturdayLove it!!! I go with friends or for dates. No traffic to deal with like in Dallas and it is easy to get in and out of. The valet cost extra but they have free self-parking, you just have to ask for it from the bartenders or hostesses. It gets crowded though so going early if you want to sit would be a good idea. The bartenders were very nice although extremely busy. The drinks are a little ...
Read More On Citysearch cmb0128 12/16/2007 - Dirty and poorly managedI hate this expression, but oh my gawd! After reading so much about the Glass Cactus I finally checked it out on a Thursday night. What a disappointment it was. The place was so dirty that I couldn?t believe it. Two or three drinks were spilled on the floor in front of the bar area, and it was never mopped. There was also a spilled drink on the mostly empty dance floor that was never cleaned. The...
Read More On Citysearch louganis 12/6/2007 - Ladies night? That's a jokeI went to this place with my girlfriends for ladies night on Wednesday and granted it is in the middle of the week, but I surely didn't expect to see some chick screaming on the mic, and 10 people in the club. Once the screaming lady got off the stage the DJ began to play some music..The music wasn't bad but the 5 of us were on the dance floor and the other 5 just stood around. All the men tha...
Read More On Citysearch twash32 11/15/2007 - Discover how quickly your money goes to this place!Heard the hype and decided to go out with my hubby on a Friday night. That was the first mistake (not the hubby date thing but choosing Friday night)! We got there at 7:50 pm and there was line outside the door just to get in. Once inside, we were charged $10 each for a cover that started at 8:00pm. So they had all these folks in line before 8pm so that the club could start charging cover (now...
Read More On Citysearch baileybaker 10/10/2007 - awesome night clubthis night club was bangin from the moment i walked in the door. The prices were comparable to the dallas scene. My friends and i had a great time, the bar staff was amazing and the cocktails were very friendly. Great layout of a club
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 8/12/2007 - Nice place!I used to work at some of the nicest clubs in big city's but have been out of the scene the past couple of years while raising my kids. I'm not as interested in the 'club scene' as I used to be but I loved this place. First of all, we arrived at 7:30pm to have some early cocktails and spiniach dip (tasty but a bit overpriced) and therefore, we got in free! We had an amazing cocktail waitress a...
Read More On Citysearch lexi_tx 8/1/2007 - Nothing Texan about this placeGo anywhere else because NOTHING about this place is "Texan." Can't believe the Twister decided to bury their good Texas musicians inside the bowels of this sad, prissy place. $10 cover? Are you KIDDING? For what? AND you have to pay to park too! BS! This place doesn't even carry bottled drinks for the ladies! I asked the bartender if he had Smirnoff Ice or Bacardi Silver in a bottle (you know fo...
Read More On Citysearch notmisspriss 7/10/2007 - NO SHORTS!Make sure you don't wear nice shorts and sandals with a Tommy Bahama shirt! You may be met on the front steps by a rude security guy who tells you that although you drove from Plano, you are not welcome.
This is what my wife and I were told at 8:05pm on Friday because apparently the dress code changes at 8:00pm. It would be nice if this was noted on their website. It would also be nice if t...
Read More On Citysearch gladly 4/27/2007 - Worst Night Out possibleThe security team makes it impossible for you to have any fun. If you look at someone from across the bar wrong, they ask you to go outside until you've cooled down. If someone is scream obsenities at you, but they're buddies with one of the hostess, it is your fault.
There is no reason that I would ever intentionally go back to this overpriced palace of over aged hipsters thinking that they...
Read More On Citysearch downtownace 3/10/2007 - Not worth your time or moneyI checked this place out for the first time on Saturday night and was not even remotely impressed. First of all, there is a $10 cover which is rediculous especially for a club that is not even in the heart of Dallas. But the main thing that turned me off to this club was the employees, namely the security. They were terribly rude and treated the customers like trash. I will never return to th...
Read More On Citysearch jrokjj 12/3/2006 - grapevine's hot spotEveryone needs to check out the Glass Cactus! My wife and I have been there more than once. It's a cool club for a lot of reasons. One time, we went after we both got off of work, around 7. Before the band starts, there's no cover. We went outside on the deck (which is huge) and sat in one of their two-person covered chaise lounges, watching the sun set over the lake. It was a truly amazing...
Read More On Citysearch bminton 10/24/2006 - Cool place to check outStopped off here on opening night. The place looks nice, though not too fond of the layout. Seems too much like a theatre at first but, the patios are nice and look over the lake. Seemed mostly like hotel guests and business men will frequent this place. Live music is good but not the typical dance music you'll here in a club. This is more for everyone so no specific genre like hip hop or te...
