The drinks are always good, the staff is friendly, and the vibe from everyone here is unmatched. I am not a native Texan and I wasn't sure what to expect, but this bar has welcomed me with open arms, and I've even made some amazing friends along the way. Highly recommended.

There are no menus just vibes and the BT is pretty versed so anything you can think up he can deliver. It's an interesting space, vintage-y very spacious, couple of pool tables and outdoor seating as far as I could tell. Aside from on-street parking, I'm not sure that there's anywhere else to park, suppose it couldn't hurt to ask next time. I'd go back for sure!

I don't drink alcohol, but I do love food, and Fridays is Fish and Chips day! My partner took me along for lunch, I am usually not off work during that time, and the fish and chips were great. The breading and Cod was perfectly cooked. I even enjoyed the coleslaw which was house-made. A little vinegar on the chips and ketchup on the fries and I was so happy this place is a walk away from my house. I wish I had gone sooner! Food is only served during lunch hours, but there is a family dinner on Monday evenings that is free. I have not made it to that yet, but intend to go! Last week was fried pork chips. I can't believe I missed it! The dining area is in the back of the bar. They say they are going to redecorate that space and it needs it as it looks like an after thought. There is no good table arrangement, and sitting at the small bar is awkward when trying to eat. Get it to go, or eat anywhere you can and enjoy the conversation. My complete meal would have been 5 stars if the fries had been hand cut and house made, but the fish and coleslaw make it 5 stars anyway, and coming in at $10 you can't beat it. I will definitely go back, and soon! They also offer catfish and sometimes fried shrimp. Go on Friday and enjoy the cool old building, the friendly staff, and casual atmosphere. More importantly, enjoy the food!

It's a place that takes me back to my youth. Basic bar and pool tables, cool outdoor space for horseshoes, etc. Heck, they even recently had a luau! Roast pig and all the goodies. Bartenders are friendly and have always made sure we were taken care of. It's one of my go-to places to grab a few and chill. And one the weekends they usually have a food truck that is in the parking lot if you get hungry after a beer or two. If you are looking for a shiny, trendy place, the Horny Toad isn't for you....and that's ok, variety is the spice of life!

We had a great time talking with the bartenders when we sat up at the bar they carried a fun lively conversation and were able to make great on and off the menu drink recommendations.

It's easy to lose track of time as you're enjoying some brews in this Fort Worth dive bar. A couple…read morefriends and I were looking for a bar in the area to catch up and enjoy a lazy Sunday, and we decided to try this watering hole. It's a vibe for sure. The space is fairly narrow. There is some seating in the front of the bar, but most of the seating is at the long bar. There are dollar bills pinned up all along the walls with doodles and inscriptions on them. The bar is well lit, and the ambiance was electrifying. The bar itself is chill, but there were Sunday football games on (multiple games) and many people came out to watch their team. One guy even bought shots for the whole bar There are plenty of beers on tap, as well as cans/bottles, and mixed drinks to choose from. The bartender had complimentary chips and crockpot queso to give a tailgating sort of vibe The bartender was good. They were out of a couple beers, and a couple kegs had some issues, but all and all we were well taken care of Some tips: I would recommend going on a Sunday after brunch like we did (during football season). It just made the bar feel lively and fun Cheers!!

I stumbled upon this place when I was trying to find a drink in the early morning, but it seemed like everything around the surrounding area was closed until I walked into the doors of The Mad Hatter and was greeted by the lovely bartender. Inside there is a single bar with restrooms along with a stand-up bar. The bar is well decorated with lots of dollar bills hanging up and TVs throughout the bar that was playing sports. They have daily specials on drinks and domestic bottles of beer. While I was there the bartender ordered 2 large complimentary pizzas for the patrons who were sitting at the bar. I thought that was nice and cool for this fine establishment to do something like that considering there is no food options here. I was told if I'm looking for a place to go earlier then I should definitely check out their sister bar that is right up the street called the Rabbit hole which opens up at 7am. Overall, this was such a great experience to go get some early morning drinks before 11am. I will be back in the future since I truly enjoyed my time while i was here. The staff and customer service that was provided was second to none while the ice-cold beers kept coming! Cheers!

The man and I were in the mood for something simpler and ordered 2 double Tito's with plain water and lime. Simple, easy, cheap. So we thought. Maybe bad on me for not confirming how much each drink would be when we ordered, but when we tabbed out we were SHOCKED that our two drinks were $82+. I still tipped because I'm a good patron. But we literally had the same drink order at two other locations downtown with totals in the $20-26 range for both drinks.

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.
