Clear Ultra Lounge

A little too stuffy and a tad too gangster for me. The music was alright but people seemed more engrossed in themselves and throwing deuces than actually dancing.

Another pretentious Dallas club.

OK first of all let me say that I have not been here so take this review with a grain of salt.
A friend of mine wanted to reserve the vault for her birthday and ended up changing her mind because of the difficulties with the management. I saw the email she received from the «Director of VIP Services» basically telling her that if she wanted to have her party at Clear, then she would have to modify her guest list to include more «people on the guest list that Clear wants as patrons»…ie fewer minorities. I won’t post any more of the email on here but it gets ridiculous.
Needless to say, I’ve never tried the place after I heard about this situation.

Clear sucks. I went there for my friends birthday, there was no cover for us because he had vip in the vault and bottle service but the waitresses insissted on pouring the drinks (like i would really tip someone on a free drink when i wanted to pour it myself) I asked for 4 shots and payed with a hundred the waitress was drunk and took about an hour to come back with my change after i asked her several times, i guess she was hoping i would forget about it. whatever. The music was TOO loud, it was WAYYY too packed and everyone there seemed like they all thought they were better than everyone else. This is definatly the most superficial club that i have ever been too in my life.

went here about 5 months ago… from what i remember it sucked… see the comments below

Dirty and dark with shitty music. Ugh. ‘Fun Francesca’ was already dying down since Ivy was lame and then Clear just sucked the rest of my energy right out of me. Apparently the group I was with had some kind of hook up and yet still there were problems getting in with their clothing or some other bs.whatever. I will not be going back.

Possibly the lamest place I’ve come across in quite some time. Everyone there is a 30K millionaire who spends half their meager income on steroids so they can wear overly tight shirts and walk around trying to stare down other men and parade around letting the ghetto chicks evaluate them. The pheromones permeating the place made it very reminiscent of a discovery channel documentary on primal mating rituals.

Cool place — can walk in the old bank vault — some of the decorations are a little cheesy but still cool overall. if you want to hang out down town i would recommend it.

What was my first impression of Clear? I found myself asking, «Why didn’t I just go to Wish?» Honestly, I feel like I say it too much but it really must be said: Why the hell does everyone insist on painting their new ultra lounge white? Does that convey luxury, or an upscale attitude, or what? Unfortunately for Clear, their interior decorator had a little too much pride it would seem, because they opted to cover the two couches opposite the DJ booth in red fabric on one and blue fabric on the other, rounding out a full on Red White and Blue theme. I love my country, but that color scheme just didn’t do it for me.
Neither did the bouncer at the door who chose to forgo the traditional clipboard list in favor of a high tech PDA. Words can not describe how ridiculous this large gentleman looked attempting to pull up my name on this little contraption. Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something unsettling about a bouncer with a list and no clipboard. Maybe I’m just old fashioned, but I want to see bouncers with $ 2 clipboards they buy in packs of 10 at Staples because they inevitably break at least one per night over the head of some inebriated jackass who had 3 too many Patron shots. I guess that’s just me, I don’t know.
Anyway, the actual bar setup is quite efficient, as it promotes quick service and a good overall flow. It’s very aesthetically appealing, and allows for a front row view of the bartenders hard at work.
As gimmicky as it may appear, the converted bank vault VIP area is really quite a nice touch. Unfortunately, it’s basically the only unique aspect of this place. Of course, it requires you to buy bottles of liquor for the luxury of sitting down and also privacy, so it’s really not worth it in my opinion.
The music is typical, electronic/​house/​mash ups, etc., as are the people who frequent the club. Lots of pretty people, of course, as well as lots of people trying pretty hard to look cool yet failing miserably. The place can get packed quickly, usually around midnight to 12:30 so get there before then if you don’t want to wait too much.
Much like Obar, it’s worth a look every once in a while, but I wouldn’t spend a great deal of time there.
