    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.

    2nd stop for me on my venture of the Fort Worth Burger Week. This was a spot that was within…read morewalking distance for me so I made the trek. 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 checked out a new spot close to home that I'd been hearing about -- they've got over 40 kinds of…read morebeer and daily specials. I went on a Wednesday for their $1 wing deal. Unfortunately, the wings were very overcooked, basically burnt. That said, they had a lineup of local comedians performing, which was a fun and unexpected bonus. The atmosphere was super chill and made up for the food -- definitely the kind of place you can hang out and unwind. I'll be going back to try something else off the menu, because the vibe alone is worth another visit.

There were a number of people already there, but they were able to accommodate us. June is Pride month and they were proud! I wish I had taken pictures of all the Pride decor they had both inside and out (they have a large patio). It was very festive! They describe themselves as "casual, trendy, and LGBTQ+ friendly". Their patio is dog friendly. They also have music bingo on Sunday evenings and that sounds fun! Our server was great! I wish I remembered her name. She handled everything well - indecision, shared meals, lots of cocktails, etc. We did have to order from the brunch menu, but there were plenty of non breakfast options. We all enjoyed our cocktails - and our food. I ordered the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. It was good, but could have been better. The chicken was overcooked. And there was not enough honey. I would also recommend they use hot honey because that stuff is good! It was all just a little dry. It came with a side so my husband chose the side salad. I wasn't hungry It was a nice place to hangout for a few hours on a hot Sunday afternoon! I'd definitely go back sometime when I was visiting!

All of the food was delicious. Drinks were great. The food was not cheap but the price was very fair for what we got. The drinks were reasonably priced. We stayed for about 4 hours. My kids played Starwars pin ball, they played on a really cool play ground, jumped on their jumping station, and played on their pedal controlled race car track. It was hot, so we let the kids play for a bit, then moved to eat inside until the sun went down a little more then we went outside. They had fans and misters for the heat. The lighting and atmosphere were awesome, especially as it got darker. The bathrooms were decent. All staff I interacted with were super helpful and friendly, We will be back! My kids were worn out, we had really yummy food. Really amazing experience.

    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).

    I had the pleasure of visiting this small out-of-the-way place last night. Some friends I haven't…read moreseen in close to a decade wanted to catch up and we decided to give this spot a try. 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!

    After visiting last Sunday, I followed their social media and saw they were hosting a jazz band…read morethis week. I called a girlfriend and told her I'd found a new spot: wine, charcuterie boards, and live music. Sounded like a perfect evening. When we arrived, a young employee did her best to find the hostess and get us seated. After a few minutes, she honestly seemed more flustered than we were, she apologized and offered to seat us herself. We got settled, I ordered a margarita, and then I noticed a large dog roaming around. No leash, no owner in sight. (Later found out the owner owns the bar, the regulars are very familiar with the dog) I looked down at the menu, then looked back up, and the dog was literally face-to-face with me. We got up to leave immediately. A dog-friendly patio? Sure. That's completely fine. But allowing a dog to freely roam throughout both the outdoor patio and the covered upstairs area is baffling to me. (My last visit a dog was on the table, I assumed the young staff just didn't know how to approach the situation, but tonight shows this is how Hideaway operates day in and day out) When I explained my concern to the waitress, she said she understood and asked me to close out my tab for the one margarita I had just ordered and hadn't touched. No ma'am. I'd been there less than ten minutes, and for me, this crossed a line. Clearly, some guests enjoyed it. I saw people petting the dog and calling it over. Different preferences, and that's their choice. But mine is different. I won't be back, and if I recommend this place to anyone, it will come with a warning: dogs aren't just allowed here- they appear to have free rein of the space, whether that's on tabletops, near your food, or directly in your personal space, whether you want that interaction or not.
