    This really is a cool little dive bar. Good service, stiff drinks, and trivia on the screen made for a fun time.

    Very cute dive bar in downtown Fort Worth, two pool tables, a few TVs with sports on. A very nice bartender, the space is well decorated.

For most others, there's plenty of accessible parking and it's kinda tucked away in it's own lot. The burger offered was the "Our Taphouse" - a dry ranch seasoned beef patty with shredded cheese and topped with carmelized onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and bacon jam. The burger was definitely good. It's messy since there are some more toppings prone to falling out. I will say that in terms of taste, it was a bit too sweet for my preference. I think it was the combination of carmelized onions and bacon jam that made it too much for me that it overwhelmed the savoriness that I'd prefer to be the main flavor with the burger. This time I didn't dine in personally but I will say that the place looks like it has a nice vibe to it, especially outside. It looks like there's plenty of seating with an area for musicians to perform. I'm looking forward to coming back one day and maybe watching a game and getting a drink.

I've been to this location many times, and also the one in Houston. For those who aren't familiar with it, they offer a variety of beers from local brews to beers you'd normally have to travel internationally to find. They also serve a variety of food and other beverages (non beer) It was a lovely evening (temperature-wise) when we stopped by, and we so rarely get those, and we opted to sit outside. I've been inside and there plenty of seating, a couple different areas/rooms, everything is clean, and it feels like a fun, lively, yet cozy pub experience. Outdoors was similar. We sat at a table and played a couple games we brought from home. It was great people watching Our server was very attentive and friendly. We got our drinks in no time, and they were there to continuously check in on us (without hovering). We ordered beers, cocktails, and a little snack (sweet potato fries), and everything was delightful Some tips: Parking can be tricky downtown, but there are plenty of parking garages. I would also consider a ride share just to be safe and to maybe continue the night bar hopping (assuming other bars are open lol). Sundance is right around the corner, and it's definitely worth a stroll if the weather cooperates Also, as I mentioned above, they serve non-beer drinks. So, don't feel obligated to order a beer if that's not your thing. They've also offered a "beer-tour" in the past. Ask your server about that Cheers!!

I'm glad it began with The Bearded Lady. The Bearded Lady was one of the closer restaurants to me so i decided to try it out. The burger that they offered was the "Spicy AF Smash Burger" which featured two smash patties, ghost pepper jack cheese, fried habanero peppers, roasted jalapenos, lettuce, red onion, and habanero mayo all on a brioche bun. I also got it with tater tots. The burger was great - not too spicy except for parts where it seemed concentrated with jalapenos. Other than that, it offered a nice heat to a flavorful burger. Since I'm so delayed with my reviews, I did also come one other time since for a happy hour. I opted for the pecan pie cider. It was just as you'd imagine - pecan pie in alcohol form. It wasn't too sweet and only made me flushed to the level of a heirloom tomato. Lastly, I want to note that the service here is great. People are friendly and welcoming. It's also a nice vibe inside. If the weather outside is nice, then there's also a good number of outside seating. Overall, highly recommend!

As we're walking to a table, one of the servers tells us to approach a lady at the bar to ask her where to be seated. Just confusion all around... Either we're greeted and seated or wait to be seated. Ambiance was laid back and they had a live musician when we arrived. Now for the food! Blueberry lemon margarita 7/10: this was pretty good and had nice flavor, not overly watered down. Spicy AF burger 6/10: the burger was flavorless and the only flavor came from the jalapeños. The tatie tots were basic, even though they were supposed to have some garlic Parmesan flavor. I saw the Parmesan but didn't taste it or the garlic Grilled cheese 9/10: those that had this enjoyed it and the different type of cheeses made it non standard. Overall good and buttery. Would get again.

    This is the most welcoming and coolest bar in the world…read more This massive, high-energy outlaw country space is an amazing, unpretentious venue you must see. The double-story building is a large, open Texas beer hall that blends modern and traditional saloon styles with an intentionally eclectic, whimsical vibe reminiscent of a theme park. For instance, the bathroom doors look like jail cells with hands on the bars, while the pristine stalls feature portraits of Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash. I used the Willie Nelson and was "on the commode again". The centerpiece is a huge, three-sided bar adorned with neon signs, vintage Western memorabilia, industrial brewing equipment, and a massive wall of taps. It serves both classics and ready-to-serve frozen drinks, which you can enjoy in the pet-friendly beer garden backyard party. Order you "two pina coladas and hope they fill 'em to the brim if your world is kind of rocky and you need to learn to swim." (That was Garth Brooks or Maya Angelou). The casual, amphitheater-like patio faces an outdoor stage built into the bed of a vintage truck. The live music (even 12:30pm on a Thursday) is loud enough to be festive but managed so you don't have to scream to be heard. The entire area is covered by a massive glass and steel retractable roof, ensuring comfort in any weather, in case you don't "love a rainy night nor think it's such a beautiful sight, and hate to feel the rain on your face, taste the rain on your lips in the moonlight shadows." (That was Eddie Rabbit or SunTzu). The seating options are excellent and varied. Groups can share high-tops around a gas fire or a lit tree, or even sit in kitschy sawed-off pickup truck beds with bench seating. You can also find lounge chairs near the outdoor fireplace, huge swinging benches, and plenty of folding beach chairs on the astroturf. For dining, you can order affordable bar food from a window and receive a pager, so there is no need to "might as well lay down and nap 'cause you've spent half your life just waiting on a nacho." (That was Brad Paisley or Abraham Lincoln).

The drinks were great, the burger was very good and my kids loved the chicken fingers. There were not a lot of cleaner options which would have been nice to have a few wraps or grilled chicken. The kids loved being able to run around, their outside is so great they should consider putting in a small climbing area for the kids. It'll make the parents stay longer aka drinks + food, while the kids have a great time outside. It could be where we sat but the acoustics were really hard to hear the singer who was a sweet older man. The tables also became VERY hot when the sun hit them for too long, so not sure what the solve is but the kids hated sitting because they kept burning their hands.

Fantastic choice! The menu is very "urban hipster" vibes. Plenty of burgers, lots of fun appetizers, charcuterie, one of my friends has some dietary restrictions and they were easily able to accommodate her needs which made us all very happy. This spot has a great bar in the front, and a smaller bar in the rear of the place. Outdoor seating as well as covered seating. Plenty of shade as well which will serve their patrons nicely in the coming Texas summer months. This is also a dog friendly dining spot, plenty of people were there with some amazing canine companions (always ask before you pet a strangers pup, it's just polite and courteous. Almost no one says No!). Assuming you don't have a dog allergy, this will hopefully be a feature. There is a relatively new apartment complex across the street and I get the feeling a lot of the people stopping in were regulars who bring in their dogs during walkies and grab a bite before heading back home, but that is just pure conjecture on my part. Either way, it was a fun inviting atmosphere. The music was nice, not too loud for my old man ears to enjoy but still present enough to be part of the evening without being intrusive. Staff was very nice, helpful, friendly, etc. Everything one would expect from a fine Texas eatery. Lots of spicier options on the menu if you're into that, but by no means anything overpowering. My guess is the owner has stock in some jalapeno growers farm somewhere and the food is all the better for it! If you're in the area already or if you're thinking of branching out for a nice new burger spot, this place is great and I will be returning. I live nearby so it'll likely become part of the regular rotation for us in the coming months. We are spoiled for choice in this area when it comes to good burgers being close to Grumps, close to Kincaid's, and close to Tommy's up on Camp Bowie. But this place competes on good burgers and if you're looking for a fun hangout atmosphere, you'd be hard pressed to find better. Easily recommended! Give them a try, I don't think you'll regret it! Cheers!

The ambiance is relaxed, making it a nice place to unwind. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, so plan for that if you're visiting during a busy time. Service was on the slower side, and unfortunately I wasn't impressed with the deluxe chicken sandwich--it was overcooked and didn't live up to expectations. Overall, the wine selection and charcuterie concept are highlights, but the food and service could use some improvement.
