I planned a Bachelorette party at the Glass Cactus and was so embarrassed I did! The only reason we went there was because the Spazmatics were playing and they were fun, but the club itself is a joke!!! They think they are some very exclusive club on the vegas strip or something....but they are so far from it!!! The girl I called to get VIP seating was so rude and that should have been my first clue, but the "bouncer" was even worse! He actually yelled for about 5 minutes to one of the girls at the bachelorette party because she sat down in a vacant chair for a minute (mind you, she was 7 months pregnant). If she wanted to sit there she would have to pay $100 and we were already paying $600 to be in the VIP section...ridiculous!!!! Our waitress was actually pretty nice, but we didnt see her the entire night. She said it was too crowded and she couldnt get over to our section so we ordered bottle service so we could atleast get some drinks, but then we got yelled at for pouring our own drinks. It was one disaster after another and, again, I was so embarrassed that I planned the party there and all these girls were forced to be there. I will not go back unless I am literally forced at gunpoint!

Very nice upscale bar, restaurant and nightclub built right over the waters of Grapevine Lake. Prices are what you could expect from a nightclub, but less than anything you will pay in Dallas hot spots. Clientele is suburban types, housewives, couples, business travelers, tourists, and singles looking to mingle. Definitely an older, more mature crowd. Not many young professionals or people under 30 years old here. Place is so big it can look somewhat empty at times. On NYE and other nights it can get packed though. Staff is usually nice and club is always clean. Most people come for the views, cocktails and to unwind. Food is mostly good, and drinks are blended well. Music is live country, folk and alternative. DJs mix up Top 40 and Pop in between sets. A lot of overplayed radio and old school stuff. The Glass Cactus isnt really my cup of tea at my age, but definitely a nice place for the 40+ year old suburban crowd in the Grapevine, Flower Mound, Coppell and Southlake areas. There really isnt any nightlife at all around these suburbs besides this place, so its a popular hot spot to the locals.

Great look & feel. Bad bartenders. The buildout, ambiance, and view of the lake are all excellent. Crowd is late 20s & 30s.....perhaps low 40s (my age.) The service from floor managers was excellent. They have a lot of roped off VIP areas that were generally empty when we were there - so we didnt have a lot of seating options without paying the $100+ fee. The bar-maid service was poor, despite a slower night. The bartenders just suck. They get 20 year-old girls who look smokin hot, but they cant mix a drink. I ordered a margarita on the rocks. The ingredients were totally unbalanced and the drink was not shaken - just swirled around a little bit in the shaker. I returned the drink. The 2nd girl remade it in a shaker, then simply poured it in the serving glass. It tasted even worse. So, I switched to beers. If I pay $10 for a drink, I expect it to be correctly made and consistent. Well go back, but next time Im sticking with beer.

My wife and I have been to the Glass Cactus many times first as general guests then as VIP members - The club is very popular and quite crowded on weekends, so if you want to get a seat you have to arrive early - if you go VIP you get good seating and dont have to worry about your table being taken over.... We purchased a VIP membership and get first rate friendly service from the time we arrive at the door till the time we depart. Drink prices are what I would consider to be comperable to most places Ive gone to - - the selection is good - occasionally the bartenders will short pour - but if you tell the waitress shell make sure its taken care of right away. The entertainment has always been extremely good - and depending on whos playing, you may or may not be able to dance when theyre playing (Spazmatics) so just wait till the DJ takes over to get some elbow room to dance.....

My best friend and I tried Glass Cactus for a change of pace from our typical local bars. Getting to the location was difficult. When we were inside we were greeted by a myriad of mostly older men and young women who were clearly there for one reason. The DJ was unimpressive, playing remixed pop songs to a techno beat. I bought an appetizer of the shrimp tempura. That was really good. Some out of towner offered to buy us a drink, to which then he felt this was his pass to attempt to have his way. We left before his disrepect got him either put in the hospital or in jail. The bartenders will rip you off as well. This man clearly paid for the drinks in front of us, but the bartender doubled up and put them on my tab as well. We stayed less than an hour, and went back to our local bar where we had a phenomenally fun time without the drama, disrespect or attempts by staff to rip us off.

Id say its the place to be! At first I wasnt sure from the reviews by negative people on here. But as soon as I walked through the doors at The Glass Cactus my perception changed instantly! Drinks are only $2 more than some places, but thats not bad really. No problems from younger immature young crowds, everyone here is the to have a great time. the David Whiteman Band had the place jumpin, playin a variety of music newer and older, very diverse which was great! And the ladies are beautiful here as well. If your thinking about going, stop thinking and do it youll enjoy your night!

My husband and I had a blast at Glass Cactus! It was a nice atmosphere and the live band (Video Stars) they had playing that night was awesome! I definitely suggest going out there one night. That was the most fun we had all weekend. We enjoyed their Kobe beef burgers they had there. Their drink prices were decently-priced. One waitress said she was too busy to help us, but then we ended up getting helped by a nice waitress. It was pretty crowded, but it is such a large nightclub, so it wasnt that bad. This was the most fun thing we did while staying at the Gaylord Texan.

Very crowded all tables reserved. Was there at 8 pm had to sit at the side bar by dance floor which wasnt bad. Waitress never checked on us to see if we needed anything. Had to go to bar to get drinks, and bar tender couldnt even make a simple Tom Collins. He made it with salt. When I told him it was wrong he tried to say thats how they make them here. I showed him on my phone how to make it and he still argued about it. I was a bar tender for 19 years. Tom Collins is one of the most basic drinks made but Glass Cactus bartenders dont know how. Pretty sad.
