Level 8 Lounge

Great bartenders and staff. The manager is especially friendly and went the extra mile to make the evening memorable. Great views of the city especially at sunset.

Folks, the view here is really great. Sundown is spectacular (you know, sun sets in the west and all); however, I’ve had mixed experiences. Drink selection is generally pretty good, but nothing special. Mixed drinks are on the expensive side and wine selection is good if you like white wine with ice cubes. The bar is often manned by aloof college dudes who seem preoccupied with… themselves, the waitresses, fill in the black with anything but «service.» It’s fun on occasion for a drink to see the skyline.

Loved the atmosphere, the music, the view! Cocktails were great and staff was very nice, a bit slow due to the low number, but they sure did do what they could!

Fancy. Kinda. I thought there was a dress code, so I wore a nice dress, but I saw people in jeans… so I’m not sure that it’s really enforced. However, it’s nice to have a rooftop bar here in Tally, that way we can enjoy the three lovely skyscrapers that we have.
In all seriousness, though, this bar is very nice and the rooftop patio is great. On these cooler fall evenings, it’s absolutely perfect and there’s no need to «bar hop» because you’ll be content just staying at Level 8. Bartender was a little sassy with me (sorry I didn’t order a fancy drink?), but I expect that they must deal with annoying drunk college students all of the time, and have to be a little sassy. The drinks tasted fine, and the atmosphere was fun.

Had a great night! Sheri was the best and helped us pick out a nice wine for our «date night»… Will be back soon :-)

The servers are hot but the service need improvement with the exception of Bianca. They don’t have a sense of urgency or attentive behavior. It’s not fine dining because you shouldn’t have to beg or speak up for service. Bianca was a lovely cocktail waitress and i seriously think she did a great job. I had there salmon dip which was devine. I did find the bar staff was grossly forgetful and was just not «on it».

Probably one of the most upscale type of bars up in Tallahassee. You take the elevator in Hotel Duval up to the Level 8 Lounge and you are welcomed to a cute rooftop style bar. It is not too popular with the locals since it is attached to a hotel and is probably a tourist place, but it is very chill. Sometimes you need to escape the college crowd and hangout with those older professionals.
With a small dance floor in the middle, one bar with good drink choices, and a DJ booth with some tunes. The outside is one strip with tables, chairs, and couches laid down so you can enjoy the view of the city. While Tallahassee is pretty country and does not offer too much of a city feeling, this is probably as close to that feeling as you can get. It is nice for those nights where you want to feel a bit more classy and just grab a few martinis or cosmos. The staff was very nice, but some things were a bit off. The music was just a tad too ratchet for the style and age group of this crowd. The drinks are hella pricey too. I probably would not come back here too often, but once and a while you should treat yourself.

This place was delicious! The drinks were really great and the food was even better! I can not wait to go back there again

Little black dresses and free champagne… need I say more (no but I will)
Obviously the best view of Tallahassee. The only appropriate place to call Tallahassee Tallaclassy

Level 8 topped off my wedding night in a great way two weeks ago! Many of our out-​of-​town guests were staying at Hotel Duval so it was an easy choice for the after party. We had a fun dance party (though we were hoping for some Taylor Swift to no avail) and closed the bar down.
Chad Ryan was really wonderful and his colleagues, Rolf and Kristie, were also really great. We usually come to Level 8 when we visit home but now we’ll definitely be loyal patrons because they helped make our wedding such a fun night! Thanks y’all!

Nice bar atop the hotel DuVal. No beers on tap. Not even a beer menu. It’s a ‘visual’ menu… meaning look for yourself in the small cooler on the floor behind the bar and let me know what you want. Decent happy hour n decent food. Enjoy the rooftop views.

Pretty cool spot, but the sports and 80’s music don’t really fit. Love the romantic outdoor seating. Good wine and pretty
swanky, so will return. Play some trance and kill the TV’s and this place would be sick.

Level 8 gives you one of the best spots to see the city. The lounge is small, but offers seating and standing space. Occasionally there is a performer.
The couches along the long end of the building turn into bottle-​service only seating after 10 pm. Something to remember if you’re stopping by after dinner.

Had great fun! Pretty views, music was decent volume, waiter/​waitress were good. Sure, it’s expensive but bars always are. I’d come again.
The chairs outside were a little uncomfortable but a drink or two in & you won’t notice.

I love hanging out at Level 8 when I am in Tallahassee. It’s atop the restored Hotel Duval and definitely one of the trendy spots in Tallahassee. As one of the tallest buildings other then the Florida Capitol the view is exceptional and although the afternoon sun can be a little hot the sunsets are totally worth it.
The bartenders and waitstaff are attentive and friendly and the food I have sampled there has been good.

If the hubby and I have friends in town/​want to get a drink we go here.

The bartenders are on point, the cocktail waitresses are charismatic. the «vip» hosts are rude and green behind the ear, there are table open for a possible sale and instead of checking the clip board to see if there are reservations he insists «these are for VIP only» well duh… that’s why I’m asking if any are available… could it be that a GIRL wants to buy a table… oh heaven forbid!
I’ll skip this place the next time I visit Tallahasse

This place is one of the nicer classier bars in Tallahassee.
But it tries to be too Idk exclusive?
I’ve lived in manhattan and the drinks at many top restaurants and bars are cheaper than here. I guess you command that when you can see treetops and antennas of Tallahassee
Also the bartenders of which there are two on a really busy night.
Which in turns mans unless you order a beer or shots it will end up tasting no better than bulls for 4x the price.
Nice on a slow night maybe.

This place was so much fun. I was there a week ago for a few days. Friday night I sat outside made new friends (I was staying in the hotel so I was enjoying myself), watching the sun set.
Drinks are extremely over priced for the area, they aren’t in NYC. But it was fun sitting on the lounges and people watching. Friday night the dudes from American Pie Reunion were there, IDK why but they were there and at the bar trying to hide themselves from all the pretty white trashy girls and the cleaned up ghetto ones that made it in. I didn’t stay late, Just after midnight I went down to my room, it was getting rowdy up top and I had work the next morning (kind of). Their food menu really needs help though. I also went up there Saturday after lunch and just layed out in the sun, it was amazing!

College town, lot’s of dive bars and cheap drink places to go to. But sometimes you just really want a nice place to have a cocktail or glass of wine and chill. This lounge is located in the beautiful Du Val Hotel, on the eigth floor overlooking the city. OK so this is Tallahassee and not one big huge metro city so 8^th floor is rooftop. My daughter thought I might enjoy it so after dinner on Mother’s Day we came here.
How refreshing as we rode up the elevator, to walk out and see such a pretty view with comfy chic modern couches and tables lined up on the balcony. Pillows laid out on all the couches for extra comfort and relaxation. The inside of the bar area is not real large but they had plenty bar stools going around the bar area and more high tops inside. As the previous reviewer mentioned the age group is more upwards of 30 ish. For me that was cool. Regardless of the age group it was just pleasant to not be sticking to the floor or getting bonked in the head with plastic beer cups, or loud drunk obnoxious people.
Have been coming to Tallahassee for over two years now and this is by far the classiest place in town. Our bartender David was so much fun and he was awesome at mixing cool drinks. He made us a shot of «German Chocolate Cake» oh my it tasted just like it. Great mixologist!
When we first arrived he told us house wine was 2 for 1. Woohoo, score! It was decent especially for the price. My only regret was we went there the night before I left back home to Miami. I sure wish I would have gone sooner because I probably would have gone a few times during the week. It did kind of remind me of a nice lounge in Miami without the big rude bouncers requesting a cover to get in. Not pretentious here at all, so yes I am a huge fan of this place!
Sit outside, relax, enjoy the beauty of all the greenery and land. We met some cool people while chillin outside, friendly peeps. And as far as David our awesome bartender he is super friendly, attentive, great Customer Service, and very HOT! We did joke about it throughout the evening. Cool, fun, classy place that I am so looking forward to on my next visit.
Hey guys, this is a very nice place to take a date, as it can be very romantic. My only issue was not having any type of music playing. I think if they had a DJ, it would have been great. Maybe they do on other nights, not sure. Bathrooms are so clean and pretty and check out the gorgeous rock waterfall on the wall as you are in the hallway.
Great addition to downtown!
