d.e.c. on dragon st

This venue is a blend between modern and warehouse style. It's winding staircase to the brick walls and floor-to-ceiling windows make this an ideal location for a special occasion!I'm a wedding coordinator and I loved working here with this venue. Everyone was helpful and easy to work with. The roof top terrace has a beautiful view onto Dallas' skyline and has a movable awning. The downstairs has a really cool bar area with plenty of seating at the bar and against the opposite wall with booths. Also, as you walk in there's a cool thread mural art that covers almost the entire wall. I would definitely recommend this venue to my future clients!

I attended an event here last night with Capital One. And the place is fantastic! I love the space and my favorite part was the rooftop area. A lot of space to mingle. Great bar setup and small bites around the room. I didn't feel cramped. And the view of the dallas skyline is amazing.

Why are you guys charging 40 bucks to get inside and then charging for a sectional? Doesn't make any sense this is why I always go to the clover club. Front door girls are rude as well work on your attitude and customer service.

The guys at the door are very discriminatory. Some women where able to come in and not pay a cover charge and others had to pay 100 to get in. The darker skinned women had to pay and told the club was closed while others could just walk in. I'm confused on why this happened. Treat people Fair ijs!

Place was amazing had a meeting there. I went in a Sunday. Mix crowd on this day. Mid evening..Didn't get to packed out until late around 7p. Beautiful setting and views. Drinks around $12.

Fun place, nice ambiance, decent prices on drinks. Would recommend visiting on the quarterly opening.

As a venue I cannot picture anything surpassing this. Even for the already high Design District standards this place looks amazing. Put this venue in the middle of Uglyville, USA and it still would be impressive, with it's spacious interior, swanky rooftop, romantic lighting, and colorful spool of thread wall (I know that last one sounds weird, but it looks really cool). But add to that the perfect view of the Dallas skyline... And I do mean perfect. It's just the right distance away and without eye sores or obstructions to ruin the panorama even in the slightest. It's beautiful and perfect for any event.I personally came for one of their "Late Night Pop Ups". Considering they've had these at this venue about once a month since their opening (and many yelpers might be more likely to attend future pop ups than they are to plan big events) I should warn that the warmth of my review so far cools down a little for these events. It's still a really awesome event, but it was very crowded. It made it a little harder to appreciate the beauty of the venue and the city, but I'm still glad I went. I think it would be a great venue for say... hmm... maybe a Yelp event *wink* *wink*

Came here for a private event last week, it's a really cool venue. The upstairs patio area is huge and has a perfect view of the Dallas skyline. There's plenty of outside seating, inside was limited to a couch and a few booths. Any time there is an event here I'd definitely want to go back!

Great space and a unique venue. I highly recommend the event space for a wonderful party.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of hosting my engagement party at DEC on Dragon, and I cannot emphasize enough how utterly disappointed and frustrated I am with the deplorable services provided. This establishment is an absolute disaster, and I strongly advise everyone to steer clear of it unless you want your special event ruined and your hard-earned money wasted.Let's start with the most glaring issue: the air conditioning. To my shock and disbelief, on the day of the event, we discovered that the air conditioning system was BROKEN! Despite the scorching 100-degree weather outside, the employees neglected to inform us about this crucial detail beforehand. When we asked multiple times if they could turn up the AC, they deceitfully assured us they were taking care of it. Little did we know they were just stringing us along.As our guests arrived, the suffocating heat inside the venue became unbearable. Sweat was pouring down everyone's faces, and it felt like a sauna. The waitstaff and managers offered nothing more than empty promises, repeatedly telling us they were "checking the AC" while doing absolutely nothing to fix the situation. It was clear that they had no intention of resolving the problem or taking responsibility for their negligence.The entire purpose of selecting this venue was to have an indoor event and escape the unbearable Texas heat. The absence of functioning air conditioning turned our celebration into a sweat-drenched nightmare. We were forced to go outside periodically just to catch our breath and find some air.To add insult to injury, when I reached out to the manager the next day to express my dissatisfaction and seek redress, I was met with complete apathy and indifference. They brazenly denied any responsibility for the broken air conditioning and brushed off my concerns. Clearly, customer satisfaction and accountability mean absolutely nothing to them.I paid a significant amount of money upfront for this venue, expecting a basic level of professionalism and service. Instead, what I got was a complete disregard for my comfort and a ruined event that will forever be marred by the stifling heat. It's truly astonishing that this venue has the audacity to charge such exorbitant fees when they can't even ensure a functioning air conditioning system.To all those considering booking an event at this venue I implore you to think twice. Save yourself the anguish, disappointment, and embarrassment of subjecting your guests to a sweltering, uncomfortable environment. There are plenty of other venues in Dallas that actually care about their customers and provide the services they promise.Spread the word, share this review, and let everyone know to avoid this disaster of a venue. Don't make the same mistake we did or at least don't pay it all up front.
