Came in for the wings. The overall setup was a bit confusing at first. The inside only has beers as it's a brewery. They do have water and fountain drinks at a station. The food is ordered from the outside food truck then brought in for dining. The wings were alright, tatter tots were good. The beer wasn't bad and affordable. Overall nothing notable. If you just wanna try the beer then stop in.
Everyone was friendly. The place had a fun, welcoming vibe. Service was quick and the beer was good. We didn't try any food (actually don't recall seeing a menu) because this was the 2nd of 4 stops. But if we're in the neighborhood again, we'd visit again. We spent a little under $50 bucks (including tip) for 2 flights of 4 pours each.
My boyfriend and I went to Cowtown Brewing tonight and had a great time! The beer was great and we really enjoyed music bingo- although it was a little odd that they ended the game before it was over and there was no winner. Also note the fact that the food trucks leave at 8pm so after that no food is served. Overall, great service, vibe, and drinks!
Came back here recently as I was showing some friends around and the server mentioned that they no longer serve food, which was a bummer. We had a few beers and had to leave to go find some food
Casual spot where you seat yourself and have the option of scanning a QR code to order or you can order with a waiter. Housemade beers on tap is pretty cool. The 10:12 IPA Stout is good (kinda sweet). Bacon wrapped jalapeños were flavored well and smoky, HOWEVER, served lukewarm :|. The brisket queso was average. The cheese was like off brand Velveeta, but the brisket helped it out a lot. Elotes was definitely a miss. Pretty bland and, again, served lukewarm. Chopped brisket sandwich was good albeit a bit on the salty side. Decent meal, but wouldn't come back tbh.
We absolutely love Cowtown Brewing. First and foremost: Every. Single. Beer. they serve is excellent. I'm always so pleased to go in and try something new and I've never been disappointed. The staff there is amazing too. They're incredibly attentive and friendly and want to make sure you're having a great time. We've been on a slow night before and I've seen the staff playing with the children making sure that they're entertained too. So cool. They're always coming out with new beers too so there's always something new to try. You must try their food too! They have very good BBQ out back!! I've tried a few of their items before (brisket, pork, wings, burger etc) and I've honestly loved all of it. The location is open air which makes for an awesome atmosphere, but they can close the doors as well to keep out the Texas heat too. I can't wait to go back - you should go now.
We have had this place on our list for awhile now and we finally found time to go and we are kicking ourselves for not getting here quicker. The place has two different seating areas. One inside with hightop wood tables and chairs and one with picnic tables outside.There are a couple of tv's that are visible from all seats. I honestly can;t remember if music was playing. I don't think so. We were directed to sit were ever we wanted so we grabbed the last table by the window. We ordered two of the Locust ciders. One was Blueberry and one was Watermelon and they sweet beer went really well with the Bologna sandwich with tater tots and the chopped brisket sandwich with coleslaw. I didn't not like to coleslaw. It lacked a distinct flavor. I would order something different next time. We ordered 3 beers each and our waitress apparenty ended her shift and then sat at the table beside us. We had to flag down another waiter to get additional beers. The second person an older lady was nice and took a couple minutes to talk to us which I appreciated. When it was time to pay the waiter who brought the machine scanned to the 25% tip which I did not appreciate. I know tipping is a big controversy right now but service was slow and I would have left 20%.
We came here after a long day at burgers lake. Service was quick , friendly but almost tooooo friendly , a little pushy in offering more drinks although the beer was good and the brisket was legit , no complaints with the beer I had the fruited sour
After a long day of cold calls of oil and gas operators on the F/W area, I saw this place and had to stop in. I got a 4 beer sampler. Beer was great. I'm not an IPA person and I let the bartender set me up. They we all great. But, the most flavorful one was a whiskey barrel aged imperial stout called Nick's Cold Black Heart. Oh it was amazing. Just a smell and you pick up the whisky immediately. And the taste, off the chart. Now it has a high BVA of 11.4%, so it's a sipper. If you are a whiskey guy or girl, this is one to try. Cowtown is pretty nice place. No food that I remember, but great beer. Great service. Certainly will go back next time I'm there.
Dropped in here on the way from the airport to the hotel and was craving some bbq, with beer bring the cherry on top. To my dismay they only serve the plated bbq meats on the weekends which was a big bummer. Overall place has pretty cool vibes, plenty of space inside and out. Service is fantastic and super friendly. Great big selection of beers on tap (I counted 16) and to go. None of them really blew me away (admitted beer snob) but all were solid offerings. Food wise I settled for the bacon wrapped jalapeños which were really good. Chopped brisket sandwich was very meh, not memorable and making me regret my decision. All things considered I'd come back again, but def when they were serving the good good.

Good beer, good location and food truck on site! Grabbed a flight and enjoyed all of the lagers. The Horse With No Name IPA was not my favorite. Service was good and plenty of seating inside and outside. read more
Brewery #426 Cowtown was a solid brewery with about 12 beers or so on tap. What stood out to me is that Cowtown brewed different style beers than most breweries that have 4 hazy IPA's, a few stouts, a blonde, etc. Cowtown had an IPA or 2 but they had other things that I rarely see like a Maibock, a Vienna Lager, and a Wee-Heavy. I got my usual flight, and it consisted of a Mexican Lager, Vienna Lager, the IPA and a Kolsch. All of them were pretty good with probably the Kolsch being my favorite. We all sat outside in their backyard area and played cornhole. Pretty nice place overall but we didn't try the food so hard to give a complete grade. read more

The beer selection has something for every palette. From Light, Mexican and American Style Lagers to Barrel Aged Imperial Stout. The styles were heavily German influenced including rare styles such as a Doppelbock and German Red Ale. Everything is true to style, nothing "funky". These were solid, traditional beers. The barbecue was quite good, two of us shared a two meat platter of pork and brisket with coleslaw and German potato salad and a side order of two brisket tacos. The soft brisket tacos were so good we could have eaten them all day, they included chipotle mayo, pico de gallo, and cojita cheese. The barbecue was simple, well prepared and served with a side red barbecue sauce. Beer lovers should try this place. read more

Was looking for a new place to try for lunch and came across this on Yelp, so me and a couple friends decide to cruise over and check it out since we didn't even know it was there LOL. When we got there is kind of difficult to find a place to park and then we saw that they had a dirt lot behind the building in which to park, it's not a very nice neighborhood to be honest so I was a little worried about leaving my car back there but it was there when I got back. When you go inside it looks like a traditional Brew House very open concept with a nice large patio, they only serve their own beer which is awesome. I had the patio Burger which is on special on Fridays, the burger was basically a bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg but unfortunately the egg was cooked all the way through hard which I've never seen on a burger before and the burger patty itself has well done which I do not like. The fries were delicious and sprinkle with salt and pepper, I had two beers they're red ale and one of their darker beers I can't remember the name but it was delicious and so was the red. My friend had the brisket and said it was delicious and he really liked the mac and cheese as well, while my other friend had the loaded brisket fries and an elote both of which she enjoyed. So all-in-all I like the place despite not liking the burger I will be back to try other interesting looking menu items, if you're in the area this place is definitely worth a shot read more

Yes, they have good beer. However, I no longer drink. Yes, they had good food but the kitchen is closed down. Now they sell only beer, some wine & sodas. I'll still support them by buying their 4 can packs. When pay day comes around, I'll give 4 can packs to fellow Veterans or friends from my neighborhood. My mother & I loved eating here when they had a kitchen. We loved the food. read more
Cowtown Brewery is such an awesome place! They have a wide variety of delicious beers that are served in unique, fun-shaped glassware! Cowtown offers a nice variety of choices on their food menu! Their service is exceptional - the staff is very knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly! Also, their outdoor patio is dog-friendly - just walk your pups through the main restaurant to get there! read more
Good vibes and craft-beer in a clean wide-open space! We enjoyed our dinner, and felt it warranted about 3.5 stars, but the following notes may help you decide a different rating. Pros include interesting beer choices, good portion sizes on sides, live music on weekends, open-air feel, clean bathrooms, and decent BBQ! Cons include small meat servings (a $16 plate of briscuit has only 2 small pieces of meat), no liquor (beer & wine only), Briscuit Beans sould be called Jalepeno Beans (too hot for anyone at our table to eat), and the dining room was full of persistent flies. They do a lot of things right here, including the billing process - credit card is scanned on entry (to start your tab), then each party is assigned a number. All orders are linked to that number, so there is no way for anyone to walk their check. Good idea for any place where there is room to roam! If you love craft beer, this is worth a visit. Just order 2 or more meats. read more
We've been wanting to try this brewery for a while now. Our friends came in town and gave us a great reason to give it a shot. They were only about 1/2 full but the service seemed to be pretty slow. That's the reason for only 4 instead of 5 . We had to keep tracking down our waitress to get served. Now you can expect a long wait for food as it seems to take while to cook it BUT it was well worth the wait. We started with the queso and chips which was AMAZING! Don't leave without trying this. I had the BBQ sliced brisket sandwich. The bbq was perfect and the fries had a lot of flavor. My wife had single meat plate with the sausage Mac n Cheese. OMG that stuff was addictive. I had to sneak a few bites. Oh....I didn't forget the beer . Better give yourself some time after you have some of these flights. Some of these beers pack a real punch. My favorite was the Gnarbeast and Rhinestone Cowboy. We will be back for sure! read more

A great atmosphere, ample parking for a downtown spot, and tasty beer and food. I love sours, so I'm always happy when breweries provide those opinions. The food was delicious, as well. Its pricier than most BBQ places, but the serving sizes were generous and the variety was exceptional. I got a brisket plate, which came with toast and two sides. I loved the mac&cheese, which actually tasted like their own recipe (some BBQ places essentially just serve velveta shells). The elote was amazing as well, definitely a must try! It was a Thursday night so they had song bingo with gift card prizes. It was very fun, but definitely could have been sped up a little as the game took forever. The service was the only odd part of the experience - some may like the overly-familiar tones of the waitstaff, but I personally prefer a more casual and friendly approach. No need for lengthy personal conversations when I'm trying to enjoy a meal with my family. Overall, I recommend trying this place! read more
If you're in the Fort Worth area you need to come here. This is a brewery with many drafts on top to choose from. They have many items on the menu but I decided to go with the two meat platter consisting of pulled pork, brisket, sausage mac & cheese and elote. The meals come with a side of bread, pickles, onions with spicy and sweet barbecue sauce. For a brewery the food was very delicious. Will be back again to play more trivia on Tuesdays and will invite my friends and family. Thank you for the awesome dinner and beer! read more

Okay let me start by saying I drove around looking for another bbq spot for an hour and could not find it and this was my 2nd pick of 3. If I'm going to be honest the brew is WAY better than the BBQ! We had an exceptionally awesome bartender (I assume that was her title) named Lydia and I'd return just because she was so knowledgeable about her company's products and made great suggestions. Ok so about my food. I chose elotes and mac and cheese for my sides. Mac and cheese was soooooooooooo bland. Like, not even the sausage they cut up and put in it saved it. The cheese sauce is like water the noodles looked like naked pasta. I'm sorry I was raised in Louisiana I don't know what else to say. The elotes had a spicy Mayo and cilantro! That's IT! So it should be called corn with Mayo. Lol! What I loved was Lydia asked if I wanted lean brisket or some with fat! No one has ever asked that. I appreciated that! I like FAT on my meat. The peppered sausage was CHEF KISSES. Y'all go see Lydia and the cowtown staff! She is the bomb dot com & so were all the other employees that took the time to engage us. read more

The staff was super friendly! Like it was crazy how friendly they were. There is a limited menu, but they have a decent variety. We ordered the pretzels & cheese, as well as then nachos, and the dark cherry cider. The food came out quickly & our order was correct. Everything was fairly tasty & we had no complaints. One thing we loved was the fact that they had parking, which is hard to come by at times. They had plenty of TVs, a patio with games, etc., as well as games on the tables. I would definitely visit again. read more

1 night in town so I popped in about 830 PM for some beers and a bite. Screwed on the latter, unfortunately, kitchen closed early. But to be fair it was me plus a single 4 top in the brewery so I dunno, I get it, I woulda cleaned up early too probably. Cool space, enjoyed both the beers I had, service was friendly. Nice mix of beer styles. read more
