Cowtown Winery was a great little find during my visit to the Fort Worth Stockyards! The location…read moreis on the smaller side, but it has a welcoming atmosphere and, most importantly, a genuinely friendly staff. I decided to try one of their frozen wines. I can't remember the exact flavor I ordered, but it was delicious--and I really appreciated that the staff member offered me a sample before I committed to the full-size drink. That small touch made the experience feel much more personal and customer-focused. With so many spots around the Stockyards serving beer, it was refreshing to have a different option. The frozen wine was a perfect choice for a warm Texas day, and I'd definitely make Cowtown Winery a stop on my next visit. Definitely worth stopping in if you're exploring the Stockyards!

The tour came with a glass of wine (or another drink if you prefer), which made the whole thing feel like a fun night out instead of just a history walk.

Highly recommend. I'd go again in a heartbeat.

Speaking of beers, this local Arlington brewery has several that give you a good buzz with a unique taste. The Do I Make you Thorny sour ale has a raspberry touch to it and a pleasure to sip. The other beer we tasted is the Love is an alien IPA. This is smooth with a good hoppy kick. The shortthorn blonde ale was another one we wanted but sadly, sold out. The menu had plenty of IPAs to taste so they specialize in hoppy beers. I heard the pizza here is fantastic so that'll be something to try for next time along with other beers. Overall, there's good vibes here with a diverse demographic of people who enjoy beer, pizza, and hanging out. I can get down with that.

Cute winery we discovered while exploring GrapeFest this year!…read more We first tried their sangria under their tent, and it was iced and absolutely perfect for the Texas heat. That's when we noticed their tasting room tucked away on the side street. Later, we visited The People's Choice Tasting and tried all of their wine options -- they easily ranked in our Top 3! Afterward, our group went back to their tasting room, which is nicely designed and has a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, this time the sangria was served warm. We asked for ice and had to ask twice before getting it, which was a little disappointing. If that hadn't happened, I would have given them 5 stars. I definitely want to visit again when things aren't quite as busy and get the full tasting-room experience.

The dress code is STRICTLY enforced. We witnessed someone turned away so if your a male, pay close attention. This place is definitely date night atmosphere. Dimly lit, red curtains, upscale atmosphere. Our waiter was nice and attentive. He made good recommendations and we took him up on a few. I ordered the Pasta Zaza with Italian sausage along with the lobster Mac & Cheese. My wife ordered the Pesto rigatoni. The food came in about 30 minutes. The pasta zaza with sausage was DELICIOUS!! The Italian meat is an absolute MUST! Super flavorful the sausage was. The spicy sauce isn't that spicy either. I also had the Lobster Mac & Cheese. This is not your typical Mac and cheese. More like shells with cheese. The lobster though is plentiful and good. The Mac and cheese was almost the same size and the pasta Zaza. I wished the Zaza was a larger portion but it was still good. Overall Drake's is a great time. I loved my time there and I'd happily return the next time I'm in the Dallas area. Great service, good food, nice atmosphere. They do have bar area with TVs if you're looking to catch some sports.

Fantastic Family Fun -- and Beware of the Claw Machines!…read more For our grandson's 9th birthday, we decided to venture to Cidercade Fort Worth, and what a fantastic choice! Admission was $12 per person, and nearly all the arcade games are included with admission. Play as much as you want! We easily spent 3-4 hours here, and everyone had a great time. With the Texas temperatures blazing outside, an air-conditioned arcade was also a pretty darn good place to spend the afternoon! There is a huge selection of games with plenty for both kids and adults. Basketball, racing, classic arcade games--you can wander around for hours. Then my son-in-law discovered the claw machines. Once he started, it snowballed into stuffed toy after stuffed toy. By the time he was finished, we had enough stuffed animals spread across the table to open our own toy store! Be warned, though: the claw machines are NOT included with admission and you pay separately to play. Apparently nobody bothered explaining that to my son-in-law before he went into full claw-machine domination mode! We also ordered pizza, and it was very good. It's a thin-crust style, loaded with toppings and made for a perfect break between games. Of course, with a name like Cidercade, we had to sample the cider! There were plenty of choices, and the ones we tried were very good. For $12 admission and several hours of entertainment, I think Cidercade is an outstanding value. More importantly, our grandson had a fantastic birthday outing and the entire family enjoyed themselves. Great games, good pizza, plenty of cider and a table full of stuffed animals we somehow had to get home. That's a successful birthday! Definitely a 5-star experience for us!

Parking can be…read morea little tricky since the available parking is across the street, and once the crowds roll in, it can get pretty packed. Getting there early also gives you plenty of time to explore and choose your favorite games before you have to compete with the weekend crowd. I really like that there are separate game rooms, along with a variety of food options and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Overall, this is a pretty cool arcade establishment. In my opinion, the atmosphere and game selection seem to cater more toward adults, which makes it a fun spot for grown-ups looking for something different to do.
