    If you're looking for brunch with a view, this is a good spot! I will add, park in the garage in the same building for them to validate parking. Place was had a calming authentic. Service was freindly and attentive. It's in a business building, so you'll need to take the elevator to arrive at the restaurant. It's quaint, but our reservation was at 11 and it didn't seem packed. We all ordered the same plate, which was the Blueberry Waffle Ham Sandwich for $22, served with a side salad. This entire meal alone was a 5-star meal. Packed with ham and had the perfect durability, so I was happy it wasn't falling apart. Very filling, I was able to save half my sandwich for a later time. My cocktail was called the People's Princess Grey Goose Berry Rouge: Vodka, Lavender Sour, Sparkling Wine for $15. The drink was so refreshing; I had a second one, and it was blissful. The view waa stunning so as we went to the outdoor patio we took advantage and had a little photoshoot! It was a peaceful Brunch place and I highly reccomed!

    Branch & Bird was such a great experience, and we'll definitely be back! The rooftop views of Fort Worth are absolutely stunning. We arrived around 4:00 PM, and one corner of the patio was pretty bright with the afternoon sun, so I'd recommend requesting a seat closer to the building if you'd prefer some shade. We ended up staying here 4 hours! We tried both the outdoor and indoor seating, and both had a great atmosphere. The service was spectacular from start to finish. I ordered the espresso martini, which was delicious, and we started with the meat and cheese board that was fantastic. I also had one of the chicken bowls (I can't remember the exact name), and everything we ordered was excellent. One thing to note: finding the entrance can be a little tricky if it's your first visit. You enter through the bottom of the Frost Building and take the elevator up to the 12th floor. We got a little lost, but after one quick phone call, someone was downstairs helping us within seconds. Beautiful views, amazing food and drinks, outstanding service, and genuinely helpful staff. Highly recommend checking out Branch & Bird if you're in Fort Worth!

    The view from outside dining area on 12th floor of the Frost bank building is spectacular, go close to sunset as the town starts lighting up. We had the double pork chop and fusion bowl, both amazing. Service was very attentive.

    Ladybird drink

    Had such a great experience at Branch & Bird. The view of downtown Fort Worth alone makes this place worth visiting, especially around sunset! The food was so great especially the brussel sprouts and chicken milanese. Both were honestly my favorite dishes of the night. Also, if you like cocktails, get the Ladybird drink. It was really refreshing and had the perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for both the food and the atmosphere.

    Visited this evening just to grab a 12th floor view with a cocktail. They were by far the best cocktails we've had in a long time. Service was super friendly and you simply can't beat the view.

    Patio overlooking downtown; seats in the corner are open, but tables require an RSVP

    eEnjoyed a drink here midweek with my wife. Live music on the patio overlooking downtown in the shade was nice. Value is three stars but ambience four stars so rounded up. Happy hour pricing and options did not make me very happy (limited options and not at a big discount)

    Pork chop

    Branch and bird provides a lovely ambiance and spectacular views to spend an evening enjoying incredible food. Our server was very kind and answered many of the questions we had about the menu. Food reviews: Shrimp crispy rice--our servers recommendation and a standout dish of the evening. All elements were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Pear and Gorgonzola flatbread--3.5/5. good base flavor but was missing something to balance the prominent Gorgonzola flavor (I also had to substitute the prosciutto, so that may change the flavor). Crust was cooked nicely. Pork chop--My husband LOVED this dish and said it's one of the best he's had.

    This was our third time going up there and our first trying food. It isn't very welcoming any time we've gone in. But we sat at the bar and ordered a sliced steak sandwich and the turkey bacon sandwich. Both were good but the steak sandwich was GREAT. Id go back for it easily. The staff was decent. It's very quiet and so is the staff.

    Very much corporate lunch spot vibes. My lunch was pretty tasty and well-balanced and a good portion. The atmosphere is lacking but overall i was satisfied with this lunch!

    First drink on the menu, forgot the name. It was sooo good!

    Ambiance & views are 10/10! Love the view! I got the lychee martini drink & it was SO good! We got the crispy rice shrimp app & it was pretty good, not amazing. The entrees we chose were the chicken Milanese which was really good, the orzo wasn't too flavorful. I got the pasta with grilled chicken & it had no flavor, definitely wouldn't order again. I'd like to go back & try something else though! Would like to mention I had to flag down a server after sitting for 10 mins but she comped our app so that was nice.

    Cute spot for happy hour, celebrations, or just because! Wonderful view of the city from the rooftop patio! Service: amazing! Our server came by plenty and made sure we were good. Food: Great! We ordered a few appetizers and drinks! Everything was tasty!

    Sliced ribeye and turkey club Sandwich
    Laurie F.

    The first time I came here they were closing from lunch at 2 and told us to come back around 5 but our plans meant we couldn't. We finally got back here today for lunch and I wasn't wowed by it. So nobody really greeted us when we arrived off of the elevator. We sat ourselves, it was quiet maybe 2 other couples at tables and we sat at the bar. Someone did bring us a drink menu and water pretty swiftly. I had a Midnight Rodeo cocktail which was really good and then me and my hubby ordered the sliced ribeye sandwich and a turkey club. It came out quick. The ribeye was great and the turkey was good, it came with old fashioned chips which were also good. The menu was very small for lunch a couple of sandwich and salad choices and then there is a cafe up there which served coffee, and some pastries/cookies. We made a reservation online to sit outside but when we got there it was locked and we weren't allowed out (they were washing the windows) it is January and a little cold also. I enjoyed it, but I just was expecting different. I said to my husband we will have to come back in the evening for dinner service and see if it changes our perspective.

    Came here for the Murder Mystery at Thompson's event, and even though we didn't end up solving the…read morecrime, it made for such a fun, festive night out. The premise of the event was super engaging. We got to mingle with suspects, search for clues, and try to figure out "whodunnit" while exploring the venue. One of the best parts about Thompson's is the venue itself. The experience spans across all four distinct floors (from the main speakeasy level up to the cigar lounge), and each floor has its own unique vibe and personality that made hunting for clues even more entertaining. As for the drinks, the whiskey sour was top-notch. It hit the spot while we were busy playing detective. The bar was kept fairly clean throughout the night. The employees were super friendly, and kept the drinks flowing smoothly despite the event crowd. We were able to grab some street parking nearby, but if you can't find a spot right out front, there are plenty of paid parking lots in the immediate area. I highly recommend keeping an eye out for their special events!

We also had one of their unique cocktails which had a butterscotch taste. It was good. I walked through the cigar bar which is on the small side. Felt a little cramped compared to the other cigar bar downtown. We had a few drinks and went to leave. We found 4 additional bourbon drinks added to our tab. We knew nobody in our group was drinking that drink at all. We argued with the bartender and he refused to take it off. It left a sour taste in our mouth and $50+ lighter in the wallet. Bartender must have put someone else's drinks on our tab. Frustrating.

But from the very first phone call, Sophie at Blackland Distillery showed nothing but grace and patience. She allowed us to keep pushing back our reservation without a hint of frustration, and that alone deserves a standing ovation. When we finally arrived, what could've been a ruined evening turned into one of the most memorable nights we've had. Every single person we encountered at Blackland was incredibly kind and welcoming. Marshall greeted us with warmth, and Jeremy? He's not just a bartender--he's a cocktail artist. The drinks he crafted for us were next-level, easily some of the best we've ever had. He truly understands spirits and how to elevate them. We were genuinely torn when it was time to leave for our dinner reservation at Wicked Butcher--honestly, we could've stayed sipping Jeremy's creations all night. Before we left, we got to meet Sophie in person (she stuck around!), and by that time, we had sampled every single spirit Blackland offers. Each one was exceptional--smooth, bold, and full of character. Take home message: Top-tier spirits, an amazing vibe, and a team that genuinely cares--Blackland Distillery turned a stressful day into an unforgettable celebration. We'll be back... and next time, we're staying all night.

    Fiance and i walked were exploring and walked past an oddly placed and weirdly small laundromat…read morebefore realizing that there is no way this just a tiny random laundromat. We poke our heads in (accidentally going through the exit door. the front door is well camouflaged) and just found a wonderful very chilled out bar. Haven't been to a speakeasy in a long time. It was dark lighting with ambient black lights and string lights to keep it dim but you wont struggle to see through. Music was not super loud and the chairs were incredibly comfortable and the whole place was laid out to just have drinks and lounge while talking with friends. No food, which is fine. You have plenty of options on the same block for that. This place is just for drinks and conversation. The seasonal menu was awesome. It iss a bar so they of course can make anything you request if you don't want a specialty cocktail. I got my favorite, a moscow mule but they had a brazilian mule on the specialty menu. I never had that before and ordered it on the spot. It was grapefruit vodka with lime, lots of fine pellett nugget ice (the really good kind) with ginger beer and condensed milk. My god it was great, they told me how they made it because i never saw milk added to this before. It was a delicious limeade that almost was slushy like, creamy and with tangy vodka. Plus they actually served it in a proper copper mug. Best mixed drink ive had period and a cool twist on my favorite standard moscow mule. The place is now going to become a frequent haunt for us. Its very laid back, relaxed, with fantastic ambiance. It doesn't get jammed packed and is not meant to get wild in. We went there around 7pm on a friday night with about 8 or so others already there with their drinks. It did pick up later with 15-20 people in there but still spacious and comfortable. It genuinely was just a nice bar to have drinks and conversations with friends. Nice music that isn't too loud so you can talk with normal voice levels. The bartenders we had were super nice and charismatic. The drinks were not expensive, a respectable 13 bucks for my mule. If you have a bill over 40 dollars they automatically add 20% gratuity to it so keep that in mind when you are tipping. And after 8pm everything had 20% gratuity added to the bill. But the service is so damn good that you will probably still want to tip on top of that anyways. I loved it so much i actually made a yelp account just to post a review. TLDR super cool speakeasy type joint, cool aesthetics and laundry theme. Not loud, good for drinks and chit chat, cool well crafted specialty cocktails that don't break the bank. Good bartenders. Good times. Cozy seats that encourage you to hang out and talk even with folks you haven't met before and dim without being dark lighting. Clean bathroom too and quick charismatic service. Hit this place up for sure even just for the novelty of it. It was a wonderful surprise bar for a date night. Pro tip for this area in general. all paid parking, some place validates some do not, i am unsure if they do here but there is paid parking right out front and also a paid lot literally across the street. But i don't even bother. About a block and a half away northeast is a big shopping complex with a target. i just park there for free and walk. its a short nice walk and doesn't cost 20 bucks.

    Super late review as it's been quite some time since I visited Dirty Laundry, but it's still a spot…read morethat stands out. Highlights: Super fun speakeasy-style entrance Small interior, but the seating is arranged really well for different group sizes and feels surprisingly comfortable I don't recall them offering food during my visit, but the bartenders were friendly and were able to make a great mocktail Surrounded by different eateries, so it's easy to grab food nearby before or after drinks Easy parking, which is always a plus (street or parking garage nearby)
