The h.wood Group has opened Delilah Dallas, a 15,000-square-foot venue in Dallas' Design District that advances the brand’s Roaring ’20s-inspired supper club concept while introducing several design firsts for the brand. Conceived as an immersive dining and entertainment environment, the project underscores how experiential design continues to anchor high-end hospitality strategy.
From the entry, guests first see a prominent central bar that establishes the room’s operational focal point. Dim lighting, chandeliers and a layered material palette of burlwood and pink velvet booths create a richly textured interior designed to evoke the supper clubs of the 1920s through the 1940s. The aesthetic references Old Hollywood glamour but is edited through a contemporary lens, balancing nostalgia with modern performance requirements.
A defining design moment is the use of Blue Explosion marble as a primary bar accent, a first for the Delilah brand. The stone’s high-contrast veining amplifies the bar’s visual prominence, reinforcing its role as both a social anchor and a merchandising engine.
The Dallas location also debuts an outdoor front porch dedicated to cocktails. The porch functions as both a transitional space and a standalone revenue driver, supporting pre- and post-dinner lingering.
Live entertainment remains central to the concept. The venue features the brand’s largest main stage to date, framed by Austrian curtains and flanked by three dedicated performance platforms set among signature golden palm trees. This distributed staging strategy allows guests to experience a full band and dancers from multiple vantage points, integrating performance into the dining environment rather than isolating it.
Three private dining rooms add programmatic flexibility, enabling the space to accommodate corporate events, social gatherings and buyouts without disrupting the main room’s energy.
“Delilah Dallas will be a proper supper club with a full band and dancers, offering a one-of-a-kind experience unlike anything else in the city,” says John Terzian and Brian Toll, co-founders of The h.wood Group. “This location marks several firsts for the brand, from its scale and design to our first outdoor front porch for cocktails.”
