About Waterproof
For a first-timer in Dallas considering Waterproof, the basics are direct: plan around a listed price of $40 per person, a smart casual dress code, daily opening at 11 AM. The venue is open until 11 PM Sunday through Thursday and until 2 AM on Friday and Saturday, so it can work for either an earlier or later Dallas plan depending on the day.
Beyond those core details, this guide does not verify a specific cuisine, menu format, beverage program, seating setup, or service style. Treat Waterproof as a Dallas venue where the practical planning facts are the price, hours, dress expectations, confirm any more specific needs directly before building an outing around them.
A Dallas venue with clear hours and a smart casual dress code
The strongest reason to consider Waterproof is predictability. The posted schedule is broad: Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 11 PM, Friday and Saturday from 11 AM to 2 AM, Sunday from 11 AM to 11 PM. That makes timing easier to compare against other Dallas options without assuming a specific dining or bar format.
Smart casual dress is the right baseline. It suggests a polished approach without requiring formalwear, it is the safest planning note for groups trying to avoid mismatched expectations.
At $40 per person, Waterproof sits in a planned-outing range rather than a purely incidental stop.
Go when the schedule fits your Dallas plan
Waterproof makes the clearest case when its hours match the kind of outing you are planning. Earlier visits are possible every day because the venue opens at 11 AM, while the latest hours are on Friday and Saturday, when it stays open until 2 AM.
Value depends on what you want from the visit. The price is $40 per person, but this page does not confirm specific food, drinks, entertainment, views, seating areas, or amenities. If those details matter, check with the venue before making Waterproof the center of the plan.

Bar context
How Waterproof compares in Dallas
Waterproof is the practical pick when the group wants a downtown rooftop and an easy social setting. MIRADOR is the more polished comparison if the occasion needs a dining-room feel, while Sky Blossom Rooftop Bistro Bar is the closer rival for a view-forward drinks-and-food plan.
For cocktail focus, Midnight Rambler is the better choice. Waterproof is easier to justify for mixed groups that care about skyline energy and downtown convenience; Midnight Rambler is better for smaller groups that want the bar program to drive the night.
City Hall Social Lobby Bar reads as the simpler lobby-bar alternative, useful when weather or rooftop demand complicates plans. Pool Adolphus is the stronger hotel-pool-adjacent cross-shop when the mood calls for a resort-style setting rather than a straightforward rooftop stop.
